What are you eating/doing today? (Monday)

 Morning all,

Was waiting for Barb or Tanya to start the thread but I got.... well, impatient. lol Insomnia. Is. Fabulous.  Last week was kinda ****ty, all things considered (not eating-wise, just life-wise) so I'm looking to Monday as a fresh start. Dr. appointment this morning, need to pick up a few groceries, my son is coming to visit (I think at dinner time, he wasn't clear actually) and we'll see what else the day brings. Supposed to be quite warm but rainy - hopefully it'll spur my gerberas in the garden to survive!

Eats for today:

8 years post-op

B - coffee with cream x 3, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, Premier protein shake

S - nothing, I'll be out

L - lettuce wraps with grilled chicken, 1 strip bacon chopped up, tomatoes, red onions, cucumber, a little tzatziki (2 or 3, depends)

S - 1/2 cup chili with 3 Triscuits

D - BBQ - chicken breast or veggie burger depending on whether Jesse is still veggie the moment he walks through the door (he tends to find his inner carnivore when he's home), kale/veggie salad, a little dressing

S - handful of grapes, 1 oz old cheddar, 1 oz kielbasa, 3 crackers

Have a great one,

K.

Sorry about the crummy week Karen :-(

I ran my second half-marathon yesterday ( I did a separate post about it) and came in 34th in my age group. Super happy about that. And I did it under 2 hours...another proud moment. I'm pretty wrecked today. My head is KILLING me. 

Trying to get a few pounds off to get back to goal (three above goal ATM), but more importantly, less weight is great for better performance for racing. Last year for my full marathon I was 8 pounds lighter, and the difference is very noticeable. 

Since there isn't huge activity today (just some walking to shake out my legs), I will have less food.

Fresh Start Monday! I like the sounds of that! I had been doing very well. I'd lost 10 pounds of regain. Then the weekend came, and I was extremely busy....and I strayed. This resulted in a 2pound gain or weigh****er/whatever.

Back to the race today!!! My menu will be scant as I try to get back on track. I will not stray! (My mantra for the day).

B- Peach-Mango Protein shake, coffee mid-morning

L- Cream of broccoli soup with chicken added

S- protein shake and/or SF Jello mousse

D- small Tim's chili

**2+ litres of water and all my vitamins

Everyone deserves a "do over". :)

After the staff meeting today I'll be heading out for another 8km. Hoping it'll be nice out so I can run through the park and not have to go to the gym. HATE treadmills n ow.

B: 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/4cup pumpkin flax cereal, tbsp chia, 1tsp matcha
S: 1 simply protein mini bar, 20 almonds
L: 1 can of tuna, avocado slices, 1/4 cup arugula & spinach, 1/4 cup brown rice, 3tbsp salsa
S: 2 baby bel, a pear
Post workout snack: 2tbsp PB, slice of whole wheat bread, banana
D: salmon fillet, 1/2 cup kale salad, 1 oz 90% chocolate

I may throw in a protein shake to get my protein up. We'll see how I feel.
