Well hope you all had a great day back to work and you're sailing your ships smoothly across the sea. See ua tomorrow Carla

Monday already. I sure wi**** was Friday, already...Sigh...Guess I need a vacation.  Breakfast: Malto Meal, soy milk, protein powder, wheat germ and banana. Coffee on the side Snack: cheese stick and V-8 juice (12 oz) Second morning snack: SF wafer cookies 4. a serving is 4. Lunch: 2.8 oz canned salmon (BBQ package) on a bed of lettuce (romaine) and shredded carrots with rasp pomegranate dressing. Two servings of dressing...LOVE that stuff.  Snack: 8 Whole Wheat Crackers with Hummus. Mmmm. and an apple Second afternoon snack: 17 gram Atkins Protein bar..Man,did this cause bloating..Yikes Dinner: Taco/burritos made with low carb flat bread wraps, non-fat refried beans, extra lean ground beef and sauted carrots/celery/onions added. Hard to figure but here goes: 1/2 cup refries, 1/4 cup beef, 1/4 cup veggies, 1 wrap and 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Possibly will have dessert, maybe just a decaf coffee with hot cocoa..Sounds good: Totals: Calories 1938 Fat: 63 Carbs: 257 Protein: 116 Low side for protein for me and high side carbs for me but ...TOM is here so I'm craving the carbs.

What a yummy sounding day.  You made some very healthy choices and they all sound so tasty.  That  carb monster can get to be a pain around this time.  Hope you are feeling good and having a great day. Carla

Last year seminarians in the last semester don't have classes on Mondays or Fridays.  It' s like riding the long weekend train every weekend.  That will be  rude awaking when we leave!   Anyway, I don't think I did too back.  I think adding the whole grains and fruite has helped with my constipation too.  Anyway, good protein and that's most importnat for me right now.  OOOOh it's also the first time since surgery that I tried fast food.  We were on the run and I thought....$1.00 double cheeseburgery.  If I don't like it, I am not out a lot of cash.  I pulled most of the top bun off as I ate and ate about 3/4 of it.  not bad and felt a bit normal!

How nice is that.. gives you a little extra time off to do things just for yourself.  good day over all.  Keep up the good work and enjoy that extra time off. Carla

Good Morning Carla!  I did really well during the day yesterday, got home and felt really motivated to exercise so I got on my elliptical for 22 minutes.  A while later I wasn't hungry so thought I'd do a protien shake only last night; well that didn't work later on I felt the need to eat and grabbed celery sticks and peanut butter, nah that didn't quiet do it so I grabbed a banana and more peanut butter, yes I was full but it through my numbers off.  Love the daily protein and fat number, carbs and calories are above my goal; so no more protein shakes only at night.  I should of known better since nighttime is my struggle.

I hear you on the snack monster at night.  I always have that bowl of ice cream.. lol.. At least I plan for it in my day.  YOu had a great day again.  you are really working those numbers.  Got a little fat action going on but its from good things so not to bad. Keep her sailing  Carla

I think I am doing well - keeping calories under 1200, but still finding it hard to stay completely away from all junk food.  Of course it helps that I didn't buy mcuh last time I shopped, but there are still too many "kid" snacks around.  I run a home daycare so its hard not to have ANY kids' foods, kwim?  Anyway - I have lots more energy lately and just feel so much better.  I  FINALLY exercised last night!  I always find an excuse not to do it.  But I did a new 3 mile power-walk dvd and I did the whole thing.

Wow the first time out and you made the whole video.. way to go.. you mades some great choices for the day and your totals are awesome.  Running a daycare is serious work.. I commend you on that.  Maybe it's time to get the kids eating healthier snacks too.  See if reducing their sugar intake helps their behaviors ... speaking for a beahavioralist point of view..lol Keep up the good work.. you are doing great.
