Whatcha eating today? Friday, 11/18/2016

Good morning, all!  Today is best day - massage day!  I also have a to do list about a mile long, so I'd better get cracking.  

1: protein shake
2: leftover chicken curry
3: asian ground beef, mushroom, and broccoli slaw, rice for the guys

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: rest day

How about you?  

Breakfast: pure protein salted caramel bar (AMAZING)

Lunch: pastrami/cheese roll up, fruit, mini mozzarella balls

Dinner: grilled chicken skewers and veggies

Snacks: americano on ice with soy milk and SF vanilla (starting to get too addicted to those but necessary to get through uni days); SF pudding; almonds

I hear you on the "need caffeine to get through college" thing.  What I've opted to do, since I try to avoid liquid calories at all costs, is buy "caffeine mints."  The ones I use are sweetened with Xylitol, so they're sugar free.  (I think they're calorie-free as well, but I'd have to check.  They're either zero calorie or very low calorie.)  They give me the caffeine I need, when I need it, without the liquid calorie issue.  Super useful!

Caffeine Mints

What?! Caffeine mints! I need to find those. Where do you buy them?

I linked to the amazon listing.  :)

Good morning, All,

I'm hanging in there on my diet plan, but still holding steady about 5 pounds above goal.  Its been a stressful time for me, so I guess I should be patient, and glad I'm not gaining...  But I'll keep trying

Breakfast - salmon

lunch - chicken salad with spicy peanut sauce over spiralized cucumber - yum

snack - finish off some left-over chicken dish.

dinner - pulled pork with mixed veggies

Have a good weekend, everyone.

Carol

I hear ya! I think I may need to exercise more which shouldn't be difficult as I rarely exercise.

B - Premier Protein Shake

L - Costco organic 5.5 oz broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken (200 cal and 24g protein and I love it)

S - Danon light & fit Greek Yogurt

D -  going out :) 3 oz Sirloin and veggies

S - 1/2 large Honeycrisp Apple, maybe 1/2 cup no sugar added light ice cream 

I try to hit 100g protein and under 1200 calories on My Fitness Pal. 

Those are my stats too generally between 1000-1200 cal and over 100 protein... That seems to be my 'sweet spot'!  :)  I add in a protein cocoa at the end of the night if i'm not there...

Happy Friday! I did well yesterday other than a fresh out of the oven piece of banana bread. My family won't eat the hel and I can't through it out, because it is too delicious. My son and husband should have the whole loaf gone today so it won't be a temptation. 

B: ham and cheese

L: ham and cheesy potatoes 

S: popcorn (We are going to see Fantastic Beasts and I'm ridiculously excited!)

D: going out for Chinese after the movie. I'll probably just have a few bites of steak since I'll have eaten popcorn, which I absolutely LOVE!
