Calorie Countdown - Another manic Monday

Hmmm OH is determined that I will type in italics today.  Odd...... Anyway, another Monday has come and with it stress, crankyness, and the desire to be stranded on an uninhabited tropical island with a handsome masseuse and a secret stash of rum.  Or is that just me? So, I'm curious, what did you eat today?  Did you get enough protein?  Did you drink your water?  What's the story eh? Here's mine - B - water and vitamins - stupid - vitamins on an empty pouch are a big no-no for Thundercles L - Thai veggie soup (cabbage, carrots, broth basically) and a tiny spring roll, one bite of ginger chicken (tummy wasn't playing nice) S - toppings off one piece of veggie pizza (we have a speaker every Monday and we have to meet with them and eat pizza, I usually get nauseas just from the smell or the sight of 20 hungry grad students inhaling it - I have smelled pizza now nearly every Monday for 3 1/2 years and I stopped eating it after the first year - but today I was brave and/or hungry) S - 4 whole grain crackers with spinach dip, one strawberry, and about a tsp of cream cheese or some other kind of soft cheese (appetizers served with speaker) D - 1/2 bowl of lentil soup (3/4c or so) S - protein bar of some sort and possibly some milk because I will not be close to 60g today otherwise Calories - unknown - I'll start tracking again tomorrow Water - working on it Vitamins - Exercise -

Hi Ya QT,  If your going to get stranded (please take me with you!) I missed OH this weekend, I was just so busy and had friends for dinner and kids that wont clean their rooms!   well my weekend food was not exactly worth printing anyway i think on saturday I ate breakfast and snacks!  Sunday was snacks and dinner, Hard to track that.  Today was a little better!  B=Light N Fit yogurt  L=cream of broccoli 1/2 a togo cup from panera bread and couple bites of bread  D=BBQ pork Few bites filled me up quick (to quick)  SF FF hot coco with a scoop of protein Hope This week is Wonderful!  "SS"

god! I hate weekends i mean i really hate weekends.  my eating is screwy. i NEVER get enough protein and it always seems to turn into a fat and carb feastival!!

 

Monday however is the time for sober second thought -isn't it.

170 cal 35g protein- weider pure pro

200 cal 20g protein -.5 cup lentils + .25 cup of ground beef curry

320 cal 17g protein-lean cuisine chicken caeser 

40 cal 4g protein source yogurt

vits fine

water mostly ok better than the weekend 

 

B  1/2 toasted Ham & Cheese L  salmon, Puffins (high fiber cereal) dry D  3oz Prime Rib, tiny baked potato with lowfat sour cream S  Sweet Peppers with lowfat buttermilk dip

Hm, I hate rum ever since 1976 when I burned the roof of my mouth drinking hot buttered rum.  May we substitute tequila or Campari instead?  Here's my eating for the day: B: 1 can Instone protein pudding and 1 EAS protein drink @ 210 calories, 34g protein E: killer treadmill @ 275 calories expended.  Also did upper body strength training for 30ish minutes, not sure how many calories expended L: big azz salad (lettuce, cheese, shrimp) @ 500 calories, 27g protein D: leftover ribeye steak cut into thin strips, 4 oz @ 200 calories, 25g protein      raw cashews @ 300 calories, unk protein S; one large slice dark rye @ 80 calories, 3g protein w/ butter @50 calories, 0 protein Totals:  1340 calories - 275 expended = 1065 calories                Protein: 89g for certain, most likely closer to 100g                Water: 86 oz The cashews are sitting kind of hard, I fervently hope not to hork them up later.  I have been craving nuts and seeds all day (which I guess means I have the appetite of a bird!  ) Kix

Actually I got really sick from rum once, so I'd prefer scotch.  I love tequila but one margarita left me a drunk skunk yesterday!  WOW

I vote for tequila - it's almost always my first choice when drinking!  Not that I drink a lot these days...  But when I do, I'm a cheap date - two drinks and I'm feeling good Kellie (who is ready for the beach, and tequila, and sunshine any time!!!!)

PMS munchies have hit already, so I did more "snacking" than usual today, which is saying something since I feel like I eat constantly anyway.  I've learned not to ignore the increase in my appetite before my period starts.  If I try to just push past it, I eventually wind up feeling out of control and eating whatever I can find.  So I just eat whenever I feel hungry, but I eat the same things I usually do.  Anyway, here's what was on my plate Monday:   

B - 1 c. 1% milk in my coffee, 1 packet Quaker weight control oatmeal
