Meaningful March Thursday

How's everybody doing?  We don't seem to have many takers on being accountable and posting lately.  Maybe that will get better.  It's sure something everyone needs to do, especially if you're very far out from surgery!

My plans for today:
lots of liquids
protein coffee
chef salad for lunch
click shake
Tilapia for dinner

What's your plan?

I didn't do so hot yesterday...my "planned" lunch is still in the fridge at work-does THAT tell you something??? TODAY's plan:

B: Click

S: Apple with PB

L: Yesterday's chicken breast/broccoli

S: Click

D: McD's kid burger-bottom bun and meat...maybe just the meat

REALLY got to push the water today-EVERYTHING that went in my mouth yesterday was loaded with sodium..some days just seem to go that direction...and I'm feeling the results..

Hope everyone has a GREAT, planned day

I'm here!!!!   Been struggling with NOTHING sounding good to eat!!!

Plan:

Hi Karla!!!    This is the first time I've logged in since the last time I posted...  Life has been busy with lot's of travel for work - I'm tired and just wish I could stay home for a few weeks  ...

But overall, in spite of travel, scale is holding steady.  Hard to track total intake while traveling, but I've been trying

Wanted to share a new recipie I tried this week (since I've sorta been home)....

Veggie soup - Easy and I added lean ground beef for protein (could also add soy instead)

1 bag shredded cabbage
1 med chopped onion
1/2 bag baby carrots
2 stalks celery chopped or diced
1-28 oz. can diced tomatoes, don't drain
1 can corn (drained)
1 can pinto beans (could also add black beans for more protein)
1 can green beans (drained)
(I added a little extra water to make it more soupy-about 1/2 can)

Brown beef, add diced onions & celery.  Dump all other ingredients together, cover and simmer/boil for about an hour.   YUMMY, low cal, low fat and lot's of good fiber plus very filling!

I'm here too and I have a case of the nothing sounds good syndrome too. I am stuck in the rut of the same stuff over and over.  I need to get in some fruits and veggies and salads.

I seem to have done so well with all that protein last week. Now the second I start incorporating even low carb 'bread' and muffins, if up up up with the damn scale.  I can't live on protein alone, but I guess i should. UGH.

Gina, do you still have that 10 day protein thingy like the 5dpt.  It's like 3 oz of protein 6 times a day or something.
