Tuesday Check-In

Did really well til about 3 and then I lost it: Breakfast: decaf coffee w/vanilla cinnamon protein Snack: cheese stick Lunch: a little over 1/2 wheat tortilla w/chicken salad Snack: cheese crackers, soy nuts Snack or whatever: peanut butter bar, 4 cheetos, couple cheese its, 2 cheese sticks *ugh* Dinner: crab stuffed jalapenos baked, small sweet potato Snack: Nothing I had enough without it Dana

What is it about 3:00 in the afternoon? If I am going to lose it, that is when it happens. And others on here say the same thing all the time. You have slung a sweet potato craving on me. I am going to have to get me some of those from Walmart. I love those prewrapped ones. They are so easy to do and taste good too. Melissa

Melissa, I'm not sure but lately that's been my struggle time. I was really frustrated because it was normally happening after dinner and before bed. I'm working hard to avoid those temptations but it sure is hard. Sorry I have you craving sweet potatoes, I go through cycles where one food stays on my menu for a few days, lol, bought 2 sweet potatoes and ate them 2 days in a row, now I want more, lol. Yes, the pre-wrapped ones are great, I like popping them in the microwave and not having to turn on the oven. Guess I better run to Walmart today too . Dana

Had a good day untill a hubby business dinner at a great resturant in the evening. B=tunafish L=salmon s/f pudding D=scallops in sauce tomatoe and mozzarella, 1/2 slice of bread veal,potatoes in salty and heavy sauce... tiny glass of wine Great meal but way to much food, and calories and fat in sauces and preperation of food. Prior to going set my mind to plain salad and broiled something, but got swept away in the moment, as we all do.

B - scrambled egg on tortilla S - 4 Triscuits L - 4 oz of crab salad, 1 cup of fresh spinach, 2 slices tomato, 1 whole wheat mini pita S - 3 Triscuits, one toasted cinnamon and raisin bagel with cream cheese D - Grilled pork chop, about 1/2 cup of roasted mixed veggies. 2 glasses of wine 1 hour on the elliptical, 45 minutes on the treadmill Becky

Hi Kathy, good to see you are being faithful to your protein shakes. I feel much better with them and know I NEED TO do them since my protein intake isn't all good, I've kinda burned out and need to something "different". Just got samples in but I sure haven't used them *sigh*. Ok, I've confessed maybe this will kick my butt in gear. Dana

Dana...I have another awesome protein shake for ya....this so die for..and I ain't kiddin. It was so thick I had to eat it with a spoon....I posted this on the main board too. 8 oz Lactaid or any fat free milk 2 Tablespoons strawberry SF Davinci syrup 1/2 scoop Matrix 5.0 vanilla protein 4 frozen strawberries 1/4 cup frozen mango pieces I swear....I couldn't believe how good this was. I debated about making another one. I'm going to buy some frozen blueberries too and that. Pleeeeze get a Matrix 5.0 sample from Miss Dolly at BE.com if you haven't tried it. I'm blown away by it....cause this is the first one I've found in 4 years of trying that I can say has NO protein aftertaste..... Hugs from the beach Charlie

Thanks Charlie, I'm going to save this . I have the Matrix 5.0 Chocolate and like it allot. I'm about ready to order some more AchievOne's (my favorite since they are so handy) and will order the Matrix Vanilla. I'm usually not the vanilla type but I like the idea of doctoring them up (using it as a base). Hugs, Dana
