Rowing down the river and stopping to eat along the way. What's on your plate?
Good golly it's morning!
Yesterday I went to Barnes & Noble to cash in on a gift cert I received for my birthday. I really have been getting back into finding some healthy new cookbooks and found three! Two by Hungry Girl, and one by Rocco Dispirito, who I think is the chef from Biggest Loser (I've never watched it, so not sure. Guess if I read more of it than the recipies, I'd know....LOL).
Any how, I'll be sharing some of these with all of you so we can try them together. Lots of the recieps from Hungry Girl are for 1 or 2 servings, which is SO perfect for us!
Scoopable Chinese Chicken Salad
1 16 oz bag broccoli slaw mix
12 oz cooked skinless chicken breast, chopped
1 c canned water chestnuts, drained and sliced into thin strips
1 c canned mandarin orange segments, packed in water or juice, drained and chopped. If packed in juice, rinse, too
1 c chopped scallions
3/4 c Newman's Own Lighten up! Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing
In a large bowl, toss all ingredients together until mixed well. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Stir well before serving.
Makes 5 servings
Serving: 1 1/2 cups each. Cals: 195 Fat: 2.75 Carbs: 21 Fiber 4.5 Sugar: 12.5 Protein: 22.5
I think I might use fresh oranges and maybe toss in some chopped almonds or pecans. Maybe some craisins??? Hmmmm can't leave a recipe alone!
Yesterday's menu wasn't too bad, still lower than it needs to be. Damn
latte, protein coffee
2 LF Eggo waffles w/ PB&J
Taco Bell fresco taco, 1/2 order Pintos, no cheese
Grilled fish taco w/ Mexican slaw
SF, FF pudding
a few more protein coffees, and 88 oz water.
cals: 1078 fat: 30 carbs: 132 fiber: 29 Pro: 89
Okay, gang...Hope you all have a wonderful day. Keep on rowing. We'll get there together!!!!

I ate like a piggy yesterday. Small amounts, good stuff but jeepers, just ate.
The past few days food has been a chore. After Tom's appointment I ate.
We get the biopsy report today or tomorrow. His doctor is quite concerned about the VERY high BP. Today I am buying a BP cuff and will take it myself. Even if I have to hog tie the man.
Plan for today
B - cottage cheese, berrie Kashi
L - deli ham & green beans
D - chicken & more green beans
S - apple & pb

Hello!
Can't believe I forgot to post this when I was on earlier.....
Todays food plan:
B- Oatmeal
S- 1/2 apple and 1/2 banana
S- Protein drink w/added fiber
L- 2.5 oz of meatloaf, grilled zucc, stewed spinach, 1/4 cup lentils, 1/4 c plain yogurt, 3 big strawberries
S- Yogurt (a fiber one key lime yogurt)...I may add a scoop of vanilla whey protein...not sure,
D- something light because I'm feeling very stuffed right now....maybe some cottage cheese or egg whites.
Hope you enjoyed your salad...it sounds yummy....especially with the craisins and pecans!
Did you get a new appointment with your nutritionist?
