Hello to my fleet.  Tuesday is here and our ships are sailing strong.. You all are a great fleet that any one would be proud to serve with.. congrats all of you on how well you are doing.  Through the stress, trails, and tribulations you have all endured and keep those ships a float.   I am heading out on my camping trip tomorrow evening so I will not be able to post the Accountablity thread tomorrow.  I will have my laptop with me.  Hopefully I will have a signal at my camp site, but never fear I have past the fleet on to Dawn Little missus to handle in my absence.  She has been a member of this fleet for a long time and has been a great support to us all.. Stay good, stay strong and support the new leader in my stead.  I will return Sunday night to retake command of the fleet.   Here was my day

Low protein today, I should drink a shake before bed but I'm going now the chocolate marshmallow candy did me in *sigh*.

Put those things down and get that protein drink girl.  Look at the carbs on those things.. bad bad bad.. that was just one of them.. yikes.. oh my..   Well I am sure you will have stellar numbers tomorrow.. toss those marshmellow out.  You can do it.  See ya tomorrow  Carla

Carla i hope you have  a great and safe few days of  R&R. I am having allergy problem again...it may be the avocado and cucumber. Turns out I did some research and if you have "latex" alllergies you should not eat either of these nor bananas. So be aware my friends. I laid off all vits and supplemnets today and drank plenty of water.

REALLY.  I would have never thought that.. i think they put wax on some fruit to keep it fresh longer.  Sorry to hear yet again you have been met with another allergy sneak up.  It must be hard to keep track of all that stuff.  You did great on your numbers.. very impressed there.. great protein. great everything.  I always hope for the fat and carb numbers to land right there.. goo job. Get well soon. Carla

Carla I thought it may be the latex gloves the pickers are using but t when I read on it actually was referring to the to the skins containg some type of latex. I know there are even hairspray that contains latex naturally from the nuts from a tree in rain forest. I had to return it.  You should see me after a visit to a hospital or dental office just inhaling it because they don't use latex near near but if its already in the enviroment I still have a reaction...so hubby is finishing up the last 3 avocados I have, 2 cucs and no more banana in the house for awhile...I am getting sick my myself, I am so pathetic when it comes to allergies and its getting harder trying to find foods.

Sounds like a relaxing and exciting trip! Today has been okay for me. For some reason, I have a pinched nerve at my shoulder blade (I think). It doesn't hurt now...just bothersome. I went to the gym anyway and worked out with my trainer. Anyhoo, here at work for another night shift. Here goes:

-Salad w/1 chicken strip, 1 boiled egg, sprinkle of LF cheddar, cukes, LF honey mustard drsg..ate most of the salad but didn't have enough dressing so left it at that! - 1c. lentil soup, .5 oz. lite havarti...it was way too salty -Pure Protein bar before workout -small plum -Couldnt decide on what I wanted so I had: 1/2serv. of some protein cereal..it was good but didn't like the texture, 7 steamed/old bay shrimp, 2 chicken chunks -5 almonds, few grapefruit segments 1 deviled crabcake, 3/4c. broccoli w/spray butter -small banana, some smothered beef stuff...only 2 forkfuls Estimated totals: Cals 1580, Protein 116 A little over what I like to have as far as cals, but still not bad. April 

Working out alots a little more for your cals and carbs.  You need them to replish your body.  Remember the body needs more cals if you got muscles cause the burn more cals than fat.  lol.. Nice protein number there.  Working nights is tough on the eating plan.  you are doing great.  Keep up the good work Carla

How to you keep from getting hungry without any dense proteins througout the day.  You are probably use to that.. I know if I dont eat some for a few days my pouch doesnt like it for a while.  Numbers are great.. I am just amazed at how you go pretty much all day with protein shakes and very little real food.  At least you know you will get the protein in.. If you look at mine, I do a lot of suppliments too to get all my in.  Sometimes its what we gotta do. Stay well Carla
