Whatcha eating today VSGers...Thursday!!
Hey everyone. I had a really good walk this morning and focused on my pace. As my mileage has gone up my pace has really dropped. It felt good to focus on a faster pace and be able to sustain it for 4 miles. I'm still not where I was when I was 3 miles or less but it was a step in the right direction.
B1: carb master chocolate mile and protein shake (pre/post workout)
B2: 3 tbsp egg beaters, 1 tbsp unflavored protein powder and 1 tbsp queso cheese
L: Morningstar chipotle black bean burger. These have been really yummy to me recently. 2 oz raspberries
D: Grilled chicken and I may run to the grocery store and get a small salad as well. That sounds good to me right now. We will see how it goes in a couple hours.
W&V: On track
E: 4 mile walk
NEXT?
The struggle is real today! The only time I really have issues is that Time of the Month! My cravings are ridiculous! I just want everything salty and sweet today!! I went to skinny pop for the salt craving! I'm satisfied, but I know wants sweets!!!
B: Hard boiled egg & mini babybel
S: Skinny Pop
L: Lentil Soup & Fatoush salad with chicken
S: hopefully not something sweet :/
D: Steak and sauteed spinach with feta
S: Sugar Free Popscicle
E - Treadmill tonight
W & V - on track

VSG 10/24/14 with Dr. David Chengelis
And my dad's cancer has spread to his liver. I just want to crawl under a rock. I skipped my run this morning, I felt like I'd been hit by a mack truck when I woke up. I've got aikido tonight but I worry it'd be dangerous for me to go since I'm a bit distracted. If I don't go, I'll do some yoga at home just to get my 15 minutes in.

Gwen,
I am so incredibly sorry to hear this news. I was really hoping for something much different. I can't say that I understand or can relate but you and your family are definitely in my thoughts and prayers. Please do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself during this very difficult time.
I'm heading out to celebrate my hubby's birthday this evening, and I had lunch out with a friend. so this won't be a model diet day.
breakfast - salmon
lunch - cobb salad with grilled chicken
lunch2 - more cobb salad with grilled chicken
Dinner - eating out - probably steak and veggies, but we'll see.
exercise - weight training and recumbent bike
water - good
vitamins - on track.
Have a good day, everyone.
Carol
