Saturday Meal Plan...

I've been slacking in posting these.... but I'm sooo glad everyone else is!!!! Good job folks!!! B- SBD Protein Bar, 12oz glass of Milk S- Protein Shake L- Salad w/ oil + vinegar S- Celery D- not planned yet... possibly some grilled steak topped with sauteed vegetables On the excersize side... my fiancee is in the process of putting together our own workout station in the basement!! I'm SOOOO excited... no need to pay for a gym membership, or the gas to get there! So far we have a few weight sets, an elliptical, a treadmill, and one of those total-gym thingys. All this week I've been working out for about an hour down there. I'm feeling SO good. --CJ 250/176/140 non-op

Hi CJ, You are fortunate to be able to have a gym in the basement. I wish I could do that, but then I'm not so sure I'd use it?? So the gym it is still for me!!! B - 2 eggs, 2 slices turkey bacon, 1 slice multigrain oat bread L - the guts from a taco salad D - turkey chili w/ light cheddar and light sour cream, broccoli S - sugar free jello pudding, light whipped cream I hope everyone has a beautiful day.

Breakfast: LA smoothie with strawberries/blueberries, 1 oz. lowfat cheese stick, 3 lowfat Triscuits, peanut butter LA Lite Bar Snack: chocolate chip cookie dough LA Lite Bar Lunch LA chocolate protein meal replacement drink, orange, Dannon lowcarb yogurt, 3/4 oz. mixed nuts Dinner: taco salad - beef with taco seasoning, lettuce, green pepper, tomato, 2 T. salsa I'm amazed that I can still eat and loose weight. I used to always try to starve. It works better to eat healthy. Lynette

Hi there, CJ. I've been missing in action, too, because I skipped town for a week to take my daughter to college. She's happy and safe, and now it's time for me to get my act together and get back into my exercise and eating plan. I decided to switch out my Adkins eating plan for one that's a bit easier to follow. I'm going back to basics: portion control, and low sugar/low fat. That's the plan in a nutshell. B: Pack of oatmeal, 1tsp margarine, 3 Tbsp milk L: Can of soup (300 calories) cup of mandarin oranges (70 calories) S: 2C popcorn: 80 calories, 2 Tbsp peanut butter (190 calories)--gotta keep my protien up, and the more protien I eat, the less hungry I am throughout the day! D: Healthy Choice chicken tenderloins, 1 C broccoli, no sugar added yogurt Day one; so far so good... No exercise today; 12 hour work day today and tomorrow. Monday thorugh Friday it's back to 90 minutes cardio, then 20 minutes of weights. Wish me luck, ladies. Yesterday's weigh in: 257. Let's see what a week of my new plan does to the scale... Nighty-night! Jessica

Glad to see you back! We've all missed you here! I'm sure your new plan will be great. Lynette
