Meaningful March Tuesday

Okay...where the heck is everyone?  Anyone else out there want to be accountable or at least make an attempt to be accountable?  Even just having a plan helps you stick to it.  No plan = no stick!

All of us know that writing it down and putting it out there for others to see helps us be more accountable.

Did well on my plan yesterday!

Today's plan:
exercise at least 1/2 an hour: already rode bike for 31 minutes
drink at least 100 oz. fluids
protein coffee already downed
chef salad for lunch w/ lite Caesar
Baked tilapia for dinner
sf banana coconut pudding w/ added protein for dinner
click shake

Have taken most of vits/supplements for the day

What's your plan?  Do you even have one?

I may need you to help me w/ the digital scrapping...I ordered Photoshop Elements 7 for $25...should be here...already downloaded a good bit of "stuff"...will try a tutorial and if I can't figure it out I'll see when you might can help me...I might need "resource" digital scrapping classes!

Karla

hehehehe.... I will be happy to show you the ropes!!!

I'm here...not working today...
I did well yesterday too, scale rewarded me with a 1/2 lb drop. 

Breakfast: protein drink
Lunch: chicken salad on sandwich thin
Dinner: grilled chicken, salad with light ranch.

I need to make some sf/ff pudding to have around for snacks.  And yes, I WILL ride my bike this morning cuz KARLA told me I have to!!

Today was my weekly weigh in at WW. I broke even this week...no loss but no gain either. That's only the second time since surgery I haven't lost something. But I know why. I've had quite a bit of jerky the last 3 days so I know I'm retaining water and carbs have been following me around, namely dry cereal. 3 nights of a bowl of cereal before bed and several days of cereal sprinkled liberally on my yogurt. Plus I haven't been drinking my water so there again....nothing in to flush stuff out. And lastly, I upped my calories in anticipation of regular exercise and it just never happened this week. I'm going to leave the calories there because I still plan the E stuff but I'll make a point make a point to clean up the carbs. So...nothing super serious but the potential to start bad habits if I don't nip it in the bud now.

On the other hand....I'm enjoying being about to buy clothes in regular stores. I enjoyed just trying on clothes at Pro Bass Shop on Sunday while Beast was busy elsewhere in the store. I've never done that! Those kinds of Wows is what helps keep me going.

Pr B...Chai Tea
B...cottage cheese
L...Morningstar chik pattie, sauce and provolone cheese
D....Tilapia and broccoli
S...Fage cheesecake yogurt
LNS....Chai Tea

OK, Karla, you made me feel guilty so I logged my food too.  I was very surprised-even with my snack size Milky Way I did good so far today.

Total calories: 962   Protein: 80

Breakfast: protein drink
Lunch: chicken salad on a sandwich thin (1/2 sandwich), pretzel crisps (one serving), salad with low fat ranch dressing
Snack: fun size frozen Milky Way
Dinner: 3 oz grilled chicken breast, salad with low fat ranch and 1 oz chedder cheese.

Plus I rode my bike for the first time since I bought it.  Now my knees are popping like kettle corn and I'm hobbling like the senior citizen I (almost) am.
