Good morning all, and it is a good morning because I had an entire night's sleep without waking up to be sick. I didn't go in early with my husband though, I decided one more day of rest at home trying to catch up on fluids would do me good. I feel much better though, not 100% by any means, but SO MUCH BETTER. I'd do the happy dance but I need more water first. After my water I plan to EAT.
Here is my plan:
B - clementine and 1/2c cottage cheese
S - glass of mootopia (16oz)
L - 1 scrambled egg and a thick slice of ham
D - the enchiladas I was supposed to make a few days ago (bean and cheese, green chile, onion, corn tortilla that isn't fried, a little ff sour cream, tomato and avocado) - I make it in a pile New Mexico style then I can control how much of each thing goes into my portion versus my husbands - he gets 3 tortillas, I get one, but I get half the beans, he gets more cheese, onion, sour cream, but I get more sauce and green chile.
S - either a pear 1-2 squares of dark chocolate

Having lived with a wanna-be body builder for 20+ yrs I can tell you why protein is so expensive! It's what the non-steriod using body builders all use to help bulk up.....
Pre-B - 1/2 protein bar
B - yogurt, TVP, SF vanilla syrup
S - chocolate rice cake (instead of doughnuts somebody brought to work)
L - Roast Beef and Cheese rollups
S - RTD protein drink in my coffee
D - meatloaf

"All of us experience change in our lives. Change is the one constant in our lives. There are changes that we look forward too and change that we fear. However, one thing is for sure. Things will not stay the same no matter how much we would like them too. When a life change occurs, we have two choices in how to respond. We can despair that a change has come and assume that things will be worse, or we can look with excitement at the new possibilities that the change presents. "

Lunch: Co-worker treating me to Sweet Tomatoe's for lunch. I had a huge spinach salad with lots of fresh veggies, a cup of black bean soup and for dessert, whole wheat fruit cake. I'm stuffed!

Tonight I work out with my trainer, so today I will bump up the protein, as I will need it. Emphasis on need.
B: Egg Beaters w/salt and pepper (I'm having to choke these down right now. I need to get something to eat with the eggs - I'm not enjoying them plain anymore. They're getting grosser by the minute.)
S: Mootopia - 16oz
L: Taco Soup - 1cup
S: Protein Shake
D: Taco Soup (probably)
And a lot of water today.
Good Morning! So glad to hear your feeling better Jenn!!
