Meaningful March Monday

Last Monday in Meaningful March...jump on board...it's not too late.  I ate cookies yesterday that I shouldn't have...bad, bad Karla...other than that my eating was on on my plan.  I got some cooking done to help this week.

Paige, I want the chicken cauliflower chowder recipe...that sounds good to me.

My plan for today:
lots of liquids...at least 100 oz.
protein coffee
Atkins shake
tuna salad w/ a few crackers for lunch
meatloaf and sauteed spinach for dinner

What's your plan?

I have to ride my bike or go walk in the park when I get home because I slapped off the alarm this morning.

Karla

Good morning!!  I will send you the recipe later but it can also be found at BE in their recipe section... it's good!!  Having it for lunch today!!!  The only alteration I made is I used shredded chicken instead of cubed.  I think between Donna and I we have enough lunches stashed away for 2 months!!!

Headed to the pcp today at 8am to see what might be going on with all this joint pain and no sleep. Well its probably more than Liz but not enough. last night I took 2 walgeens sleep aids and 3 melatonin and it took 2hrs to fall asleep and I only slept 3 hrs! WTH!!Plan for today eat and drink all I can tolerate especially fruit and protein. What I actually eatscares me and I don't want to freak yall out anymore. Still haven't gained any weight. I am scare so morning I'll wake up and have gained 20lbs overnight!! I am just a big silly!
Yall make it a great day!
Meggie

meggie,

that's not silly at all. Honestly, I wake up that way EVERY day.  Still expecting to see the 300# me. And I still read a completely different number on the scale than it is. If it's 159 I see 259..weird but you know, it's a life time of fat and always being too big.

Hope you get some pain relief and sleep honey.

I hope this pain pill gives relief and doesn't make me goofy! When I say I feel like I weigh 300lbs, I mean I hurt like I did when I weighed 300lbs. I usually can guess my weight to the lb by looking at my feet and hands but lately I eat sooooo much I feel like I should be fatter!! Thanks for understanding!!

Been to PCP he thinks the pain is a nutritional deficiency. Most likely my D. Ran a bettery of test including arthritis panel and lupus panel and CED rate. We have a lot of arthritis and lupus in the family and they just want to make sure and cover all basis. He also is going to have me try restoril to sleep. He agreed w/ yall about seroquel and weight gain although it wouldn't hurt to gain a little I aint doing 50 lbs!!!

well my worst enemy these days is myself. I guess I figure it's MY time to indulge and step out of that box, not only to socialize, but to EAT.

I ate some things this weekend I swear I never would again - peanut butter eggs, a BOX of hot tamales, 3 mexican food dinners out, pizza, HOT dogs (gag), quesadilla  - I mean WTF am I thinkin?

But food is packed and i'm working on cleaning out my system. Nothing drastic like 5dpt, but just much much better. I am also taking my vits and meds again, since I neglected them for days and that makes my hunger constant.

I can do this and I need to be accountable to MYSELF.  If I can get rid of the cub, I can get treat myself better than I am.

I did my best to clean out the kitchen last night...I ate the rest of the Girl Scout cookies, lol.  Actually I only had TWO.  I made 2 boxes of Samoas last 3 weeks~heck a box used to be a serving!!

I had a very strange eating day yesterday.  For some crazy reason I just wasn't hungry.  I had a bagel for breakfast, a salad for lunch and a few scallops and 1/2 c coleslaw for dinner.  So even adding the cookies in, my calorie count was good.

No plan for today.  I've got a protein drink defrosting for breakfast and will probably grab something out between meetings today for dinner.  Haven't been on the scale for days~my jeans tell me what I need to know.

I'm back on track today -  on the "eating plan"...............feel good this morning and got a 15 min break in am and pm to take a walking break............GET OUT AND WALK THE LAS COLINAS CANAL for 15 min..shcduled on my outlook express calendar so it will pop up and remind me .......2 times a day is what I'm aiming for......................

Todays plan:  *** EDITED AT 12:50PM *** 

1 Atkins Shake - for breakfast............

1 OS trim beef stick 

Later - approx 1 cup of honey nut cheerios to chomp on..........:(

Lunch plans:

Frozen Veggies  medley   - Broc, Cauliflower & Carrots in cheese sauce.
diced Roasted Chicken chunks from Tyson...


Dinner:

no plans yet.........may have an Atkins Shake......


I really need to do about 2-3 days of nothing but liquids.....but I don't think that I would be successful on that..........

TIME TO GET BACK ON TRACK -  NEW IPOD APP ON MY IPOD THAT I'M GONNA TRY TO USE.....AND NAVIGATE THROUGH...................WISHE ME LUCK.........

LET DO THIS.........

LUV YOU ALL AND HAVE A GREAT DAY !! 

No gym for me this morning. I have a HUGE test in my A&P lab on bones and joints and stuff tomorrow and I needed the time to study.

B: Protein Coffee
L: handful of almonds
D: Tacos for the family, I'll have mine with no tortilla.

I've had some green tea and crystal light. Gotta get more liquids in today. :)
