It's Monday! And you know what I'm not doing this week?! I'm not doing school work!! Yay! No school for me until January 4. Just all the other things I need to accomplish in that time.

1: protein shake
2: leftover chicken sans dumplings
3: slow cooker french onion pot pie stew (recipe doesn't list liquid, so I'll be adding some and keeping an eye on things) - Update: I didn't add liquid. I decided that the onions and mushrooms were probably wet enough, and I was right. It did not need any added liquid. I also didn't make the pot pie crackers - I just served it with cheese crispy things on top.

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: nope!

How about you?

Have a good week, everyone.

Less than 2 weeks until Christmas, my favorite day!

Yesterday was a rough one food wise. Little liquid intake also. Back at it today. Left the house early because roads were crap. Its a 12 hour minimum work day, then I have to run by the mall real quick, zombie status. No exercise for me today.

B hard boiled egg, 3 sausage links

L 1/2 greek yogurt, chicken & cauliflower mash

D 1/2 greek yogurt with berries, and a shake

No snacking except another shake if I need it. I might make decaf protein coffee - for added protein to sip on through my 12 hour work day.

Well I guess I'm back and sticking around a while. I liked Gwen's advice to really demonstrate the right moves instead of just telling him what the right thing to do is. I know water is going to be a big struggle for him. I drink a ton of water - but heavily around my workout times. This week, I'm going to work on ensuring I get 8+ ounces before every meal.

B - chike

S - coffee

L1 - protein shake (post crossfit before doctors apt)

L2 - leftover crockpot chicken and veggies

D - pork chops, brocooli and salad

S - yogurt & berries

E - 7X3 tempo back squat, 12 min AMRAP 21 cal row, 15 clean & jerk, 9 pistols

This is going to be a bit tricky for me. I typically eat my carbs in the evening - a potato or rice with dinner. Since my hubby can't anymore, I am not going to cook that. I have to see how I react to pulling these out of the diet. My mind can go binge happy if I restrict too much.
