Calorie Countdown - Tempting Tuesday, did you resist temptation?

I don't really know if you were tempted by anything, but if so, I hope you either resisted or indulged and enjoyed it thoroughly so that you are no longer tempted.  My temptation is to waste time instead of cleaning the apartment before Mumsy and Bro get here Wednesday.  Hopefully I can resist temptation. Here's my plan for Tuesday. B - 1 piece of high fiber whole grain toast, 1oz extra sharp cheddar cheese, 1 banana L - 1 packet carnation instant breakfast, 16oz 2% milk S - Oh yeah! protein bar D - leftover chicken, rice, beans, corn, rotel mixture Calories - 1133 Fat - 39g Carbs - 120g Fiber - 24g Protein - 84g

I resisted temptation last night - I went out to dinner with a couple friends to a restaurant that has fabulous bacon cheeseburgers and honey-dipped fried chicken.  Really wanted both, but order teriyaki chicken with steamed veggies instead.  It tasted great and I felt much better about myself than I would have if I'd eaten the cheeseburger or fried chicken!  But I was sorely tempted by that fried chicken... I've been doing pretty well sticking to my regular food plan, and my weight has been holding pretty steady in the same 2-3 pound range and I feel great.  I plan to keep doing what I'm doing for now, so here's what's on my plate today -

Breakfast:  1 c. 1% milk in my coffee, 1 packet Quaker Weight Control oatmeal

Snack #1:  1 c. low-fat cottage cheese, 4 tbsp. SF preserves, 2 large, diced strawberries, 2 oz. blueberries 

Snack #2:  medium banana

[workout #1:  1 hour yoga class]

Lunch:  4.7 oz. grilled chicken breast, ~1/2 c. glazed baby carrots

Snack #3:  8 oz. Dannon light'n'fit nonfat vanilla yogurt, 1/4 c. Bob's Red Mill Mueslix, 2 large, diced strawberries, 2 oz. blueberries

Snack #4:  1 slice whole-grain bread, 3 slices smoked turkey, 1 slice Kraft 2% Deli Deluxe American cheese, alfalfa sprouts

[workout #2:  60 minutes of cardio]

Snack #5:  post-work apple

Dinner:  either 5 oz. chicken breast, lettuce, matchstick carrots, 1 whole wheat Lawash wrap, 4 tbsp. light salad dressing or 5 oz. braised pork roast, ~1 c. sauerkraut, steamed veggies (it's leftover day at my house...)

Snack #6:  Starbucks mocha bar

Here's my plan for today: B- 1oz. string cheese (was also supposed to have 1/4 cup watermelon, but forget to bring it to work) L - 1 oz. RF Swiss, 2 cheese curds, 4 club crackers (I usually end up tossing some of this) D- don't really know yet.  Depending on how I feel, I might try an egg again.

Jen, you've been eating that dinner for a few days now!  I can only eat left overs for one day.  Then I'm sick of it.  There's lots of tupperwares in the freezer with things that I couldn't throw out.  But the good thing is, we do go back to the freezer and finish them off.

I tried one of those oh yeah protein bars on Saturday and I didn't care for it.  It had that gritty, proteiny taste to me. 

B - SBD protein bar

L - BLT chicken Salad from Wendys

S- diced peaches in splenda

D - ???  maybe some grilled fish since we didn't take anything out from the freezer.

Starting next week from M - W I'll be at my husband's mercy when it comes to dinner preparation because I have school from 5-9pm for 6 weeks.  Ugh, that's the most in class time I've had since I started back to school last fall.  But, it's only six weeks and I can deal with it.  And I've got Biology for non-majors on Saturday morning from 9 - 3 pm.  That includes a lab but I'm not looking forward to that either.  I joked with Karl about us having takeout chineese and Sonny's a bunch.  If that's the case, I'll get some wendy's chili and eat that before school.

Have a great day everyone!

I usually can't do leftovers much either, but in this case, I actually made it twice.  First of all, its cheap, and second it just hits the spot for me - Thundercles loves beans.  The first time I didn't add rice, and I used pinto beans.  The second time I used kidney beans and added spanish rice and corn.  There was quite a bit there but I've enjoyed it for a few days, and it settles so nice.  Its kind of like Kix's taco kick a while back I guess.  I bought two Oh Yeah bars at Vitamin Shoppe over the weekend (and 5000mcg B-12 lozenges woohoo!) - I had the first one, and also wasn't crazy about it.  I am only eating the second one to get it over with, as they say.  Plus, I need more protein, since we are out of mootopia and drinking ugh regular milk.  If I had to leave food up to my husband for that long, I have NO IDEA what we'd end up with.  Cereal and peanut butter/jelly sandwiches most likely.  He can cook (sometimes), he just doesn't want to. 

Yes, I'm quite scared for M- W for the next six weeks to say the least.  Well, he just may surprise me...we'll see.
