Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday 8/14/17

Good morning! I'm behind on posting today, as I got up a bit later than normal and felt like I had tons of food to pack! Maintenance eating seems like so much food. I'm seeing my trainer tonight for the first time in a week, because of being out of town so I should be good and sore tomorrow!

Nearly 7 months post-op & trying to move to maintenance/140.4lbs this morning

M1: Premier Protein, Coffee & Miralax (1 TBSP heavy cream in my first cup)

M2: Dannon L&F w/ Sunflower seeds, Flaked Coconut and Berries

M3: Emiepie's Egg Salad and 1/2 of an Avocado

M4: Roltini Roll Up and 10 olives

M5: Boneless, Skinless chicken thigh and veggie

Monday's come way too fast. I kept myself busy cleaning and walking since I didn't have any real plans for the weekend. It may be time for another clothing purge since I still have stuff I didn't get rid of the first time.

B: L&F Greek yogurt with bran buds, coffee

L: deviled chicken salad with crumbled wasa

D: either turkey encilada skillet or BBQ pulled chicken.

S: protein bar

E: walking/swimming

W&V

Good morning! Had a good busy weekend. Monday rolled around way too soon. We went to a baseball game on Saturday night, and spent yesterday hanging pictures and shopping. I splurged a little too much at the game, so back on the straight and narrow today.

B: yogurt and coffee

L: pulled pork and collard greens

D: roasted chicken and salad

S: yogurt

Good morning!

Well I tried to get fancy with my yogurt and mix a little protein powder in it to get some more protein in. Gag. Ruined a perfectly good yogurt! It was like I dumped chalk in it.

This afternoon from 2-4 I'm going to a brunch cooking class with a friend. I suspect we'll eat our class projects so I'm skipping my normal lunch and waiting to eat brunchy stuff late.

B - half of my failed yogurt experiment with raspberries and coffee

L - brunchy stuff

D - salmon and green beans

S - jerky

I've been thinking of trying to add some protein to my morning yogurt too. Maybe I will forgo that. Ha ha.

I ordered some Chike coffee protein powder and it arrived yesterday. I haven't tried it out yet, but I think I'm going to add it to my morning or mid-morning routine.

I had a Chike shake for breakfast every day for probably a year and a half. I love it! I shook it up with cold water and then added ice. YUM. I hope you like it.

I will be trying it for a snack this morning. I think I'm more excited than I should be about a protein drink. Ha ha.

Protein powder doesn't seem to shine unless it's in a shake otherwise it's quite yucky. If you want to boost your yogurt try adding some dried peanut butter or almond powder and a dash of cinnamon. I use PB2 plain or PB2 with chocolate. There's also PB&Me Almond powder. Makes for a nice change.

Ooh. That sounds good and I actually have some PB2 in the cabinet. I will try it tomorrow. Thanks!

Sundays are my days to not track my food and eat whatever I want. Back on track today!

AM: K-cups with Van PP (gotta get rid of those things. My new coffee machine comes today!)

L: Chicken Breast, cottage cheese and Hummus (got hummus - YEAH)

Pre-workout S: Yogurt

Post-workout S: Caramel PP

D: Chicken Breast, Snow Pea Pods

Water & Vites

E: ABS! Treadmill or Elliptical
