Jumpstart January B2B Friday

I figured someone else would have cranked this up by now.  I slept until 6 and then had to make a pot of soup to take to work.

I did okay yesterday...it's those night time hours between 4-10 that are killers.  I did eat some peanuts and fruit before bed so it could have been worse!  I'm down 2.4 lbs. so I'll take it.

Plan for today:
lots of liquids...between 100-120+ oz.
protein coffee being downed...already drank some water
McD Iced coffee...sf
click or Atkins shake if needed
Beef/Veg/Barley soup for lunch with 1 small piece of cornbread
Gr. Chuck patty and cabbage or spinach for dinner
Stella's low carb high protein sf cheesecake

What's your plan for today?

Try to include some things that are good for you and that you LIKE...it will satisfy you more.  I'm going to try to post some recipes starting tomorrow or tonight from my 2 low carb high protein cookbooks.  I think having a variety of good snacks will probably help a lot of us.

Good Morning Miss Karla, no bragging here today.  The Scale Gods took a pound back so I'm only down 3 lbs in 4 days now.  Don't know how it happened cuz I was good yesterday.  Oh well-DOWN is always good.

Plan for today:
Breakfast: FROZEN protein drink-yes, I'm crazy!!
Lunch: 1/2 roast beef sandwich, pretzel crisps
Dinner: hamburger patty, salad with LF ranch, SF jello
Snacks:  OMG the Russell Stover SF Snack bars are to die for so definately will have one of those.

ACCOUNTABILITY IS THE KEY...POST EVEN IF YOU FALTERED CUZ TOGETHER WE CAN DO THIS!!

Yesterday was good except for my h2o, just cant seem to get it all in

Today's plan

Coffee with protein
roasted soy beans snack
chicken noddle soup with added protein lunch
protein bar snack
chili w cheese for dinner
lots of sf tea and sf hot coco to try and stay warm!

I need to try and get to the gym this afternoon i wimped out this morning after watching the weather.

The scale gods didn't take a pound back but they didn't take any away either.. so we are at a standstill here.

I too have trouble deciding how and what to eat in the evenings.  When I get home at about 5:30 I am usually very hungry but am only ready for a snack.  Well that snack keeps me full till about 8 and then i'm searching for something.  Last night it was some marinated grilled chicken that Emm made.  It was very good but eating late isn't the best plan.

Tummy is still not 'right' but we are getting there.

Let me just say - I took my first does of Geritol this morning.  It has 18mg of iron and vitamins.. Figured it was liquid, non constipating, and all that.. Well..

OMG - it tastes like C R A P!  There is like a lingering EWWWWA too.  But I bought the bottle, so I will use it and see how I feel.

brekkie is yogurt and protein cereal
lunch is soup
snack is string cheese.
dinner - some hamburger patties with something..

I'm ignoring the scale today because it's up 3lbs from yesterday.  Its my normal mid-month rise, but still annoying.  I know I'm doing what I should be so that is consolation for the numbers.  I did 15 min yesterday upper body work out, and did it again this  morning.  I'm going to do the lower body work out tonight.  That's the one that's kicking my butt because my hips hurt when I stretch my legs.  I'm thinking of going in to the chiro to make sure everything is aligned the way it should be and see if she has any ideas about the hip pain.

Ok, plan for the day:

Protein coffee
Fiber plus bar
Egg beaters w/ ham, veggies & cheese
Gumbo w/ turkey sausage
Cottage cheese
Mozzarella stick & lunchmeat
15 Bean soup w/ ham & veggies
Apple w/ splenda & cinnamon

Following this would put me at 1466 cal, 99 net carb, 25 fiber, 143 protein - which is well within my targets for now. 

Pushing lots of fluids, vitamins, etc again today.  I've upped my Vit D, Calcium and B complex so I'm hoping to eventually see some improvement in my energy levels, etc.

Melissa hey girl, miss seeing you around here.  I'm so glad you decided to join us.  Your "yesterday" food looked like mine did all Christmas break, lol.  Looking at your today menu it looks like there's not enough food.  Get some solid protein in there to fill you up.  I have to have some sort of meat to hold me over and make me feel satified otherwise I'm starving and just grab anything I can get my hands on.

I'm very proud of you on the NO alcohol stance.  You and Gina have a hard road ahead of you but I know you both can do it cuz YOU'RE WORTH IT!! 

Thanks Stephanie, I will get me some chicken or tuna, we have an inhouse cafe here at work.

You have no idea, how GOOD, I feel just in the two posts that I have done.  Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Melissa

I did OK yesterday but could have done better. I need more dense protein but it's just sitting too heavy to me comfy right now. Ham is about all that feels right and I'm tired of ham! But it's not always about what I want but what I need so I'll add some in today. And as always I need to work on the water intake.

Todays plan.....
Pre-B...chai tea
B....cottage cheese
L......meatballs, sauce and provolone cheese
S....Fage yogurt
D....ham and sweet potato
LNS.....chai tea

Okay, I'm just gonna throw this out here..,.   My plan has gone to hell this week.   

With that said, the scale is fine, but life has exploded all around me and haven't been able to accomplish ANYTHING I set out to do.

So, tomorrow is a new day, next week a new week and even though I have to work some this weekend; will start fresh tomorrow.

Hope to post nicer comments and thoughts next week.

Hope all have a great weekend!
