Rowing, sailing, cooking and eating. What's your plan for today?

Morning one and all!

Well crap. I've been eating too few calories, under 1200 to be exact, and now I've gone and gained 2 lbs. I think I'm going to spend the $$ to go see the nutritionist who put me on my maintenance plan. I'll keep you posted.

Today's recipe is for Black Bean and Corn salad. Do you know how healthy black beans are? They're like a perfect food. No fat, high protein and fiber!  This is a great side dish, or maybe you could add some diced chicken to pack for lunches???

Well, I'm back into my routine again.  Being on the road for almost five weeks sure had it's challenges but I've maintained the four pound loss I had while on vacation.

Last evening, I attended a meeting for my core LifePath group and they surprised me with a treat for my birthday: a fresh fruit platter, a cheese & cracker platter, veggies and dip and a small tray of tiny mini-tarts with LF-SF whipped cream.  I had ONE teeny tiny tart and today I am DOWN another pound. 

Must be the re-start of my  three hours of water jogging yesterday that saved my butt.

This is my menu for today:

B   hot chocolate protein drink

S   banana w/ PB

L   homemade high protein, high fibre soup

S   roasted edamane

D   salad w/ romaine, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, broccoli pieces & chicken breast w/ Renee's Light Poppyseed dressing

S    likely another protein drink

Almost all of my water (3 litres) down and all my supplements taken
