What's on the menu today VSGers? Friday!
Ugh - my day didn't start out so great. I also don't have much of a plan for the rest of the day -- so came here to make one!
B - chicken wings (huh?)
S - chike
L - bacon, eggs & brussel sprouts
S - protein shake
D - chicken with veggies
S - cottage cheese w/ backberries
X - run & crossfit
What are you eating today?
I've been a little slack on my eating this week, and this weekend will be challenging because of mother's day and my granddaughter's birthday, and house guests. Yesterday, I succumbed to the home-made chocolate chip cookies at my meeting. But I counted it as a meal, so perhaps I'll be ok weight-wise.
Breakfast - salmon
Lunch - cheeseburger pie
lunch2/snack - broccoli slaw
dinner - orange balsamic chicken, or perhaps bbq pork, or maybe we'll go out for indian food. I'm not sure, but it probably won't be the best for the plan...
water - good
vitamins - on track
exercise - walking a mile or two a day...
Have a happy Mother's day and lovely weekend.

I did not follow through on my plans at the restaurant last night and I'm still paying for it this morning. I ate about an ounce of feta cheese off our hummus platter we ordered for the table and a few olives. That part I think I did great with. I should have just stopped there. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, no bun, and tater tots (WTF was I thinking?) Obviously I could only eat like two of them and two bites of the pork before I was done. I was a little uncomfortable, but this biggest mistake was eating 4 more tater tots before bed. I ate them quickly and didn't chew them enough. I rationalized that choice by saying to myself I still had a snack left for the day to eat and some calories. I wasn't hungry, and even if I was, those were not at all an appropriate choice. I was SO uncomfortable. I still don't feel right this morning and couldn't finish my 2 oz of plain yogurt. Lesson learned. Here's to a better day today.
B - 1 oz plain Fage yogurt. I'll probably sip on some proti-water this morning to try and feel better.
S - Chocolate Premier
L - We are going to be out and about all day. I'm thinking of eating lunch at whole foods salad bar and getting a bit of cottage cheese
S - HB egg
D - We are going out to eat again (my husband's relative has been visiting and we are treating her before she leaves tomorrow). The restaurant tonight I am much more familiar with and its a seafood place so I know I have good options. My plan is shrimp ****tail.
W: On track
E: May not happen today - if it does, it will be a walk in the evening
V: Not until week 5.
