accountability - Sunday

a really lazy day today. Not much going on. We went to church and then had a breakfast and then came home and vegged out under the swamp cooler..did nothing all day long.
 

B: 1/2 serving of protein pancakes with 4 strawberries and sugar free syrup

24 oz Drink Mix, Hawaiian Punch Orange
24 oz Drink Mix, Peach Tea

2B: 3 egg omelet (mushroom and swiss) with 1/2 cup home fries (with green peppers and onions)

24 oz Drink Mix, Hawaiian Punch Berry Limeade
24 oz Drink Mix, actually Iced Coffee w/plain soy milk and splenda

L: none...well, a sugar free shortbread cookie and a piece of melty sugar free chocolate (quickly refrigerated to save the rest of it)

24 oz Drink Mix, Hawaiian Punch Purple

D: 2 cabbage rolls and 1 small (two tiny) low carb biscuit (home made)

Totals for the day:

Calories: 1258
Fat: 61.6
Carbs: 98.8
Protein: 84.9

Seems weird to me that I didn't get enough protein but I'm suffering from a carb coma and don't really care..I got all my water but just realized that I got none of my vitamins..sheesh..

I have tons of the cabbage rolls. I made them with instant brown rice, it worked well but seriously this carb coma has my brain totally fogged. I napped before but I think I'll be going to bed early too.

How did you do?

What the heck is a swamp cooler? I had a somewhat lazy day. Read the paper, missed church and did a few errands.
0900-scrambled eggs w rf cheese, vwggie sausage and 1/2 bagel round w butter
1100-raspberries
1300-boca burger, lf cheese, no bun and small sweet potato
1800-turkey hot dog on a bagel thin; ate half it was not good! mixed green salad with goat cheese, in a vinagrette
1930-1/2 nectarine, 1/4 c raspberries and squirt of reddi whip
I did an hour of zumba, did not get all my water, but did get all my vits and such. I made a splenda recipe and it smells so good in the oven. It is a gingerbread applesauce snack cake. I will have a slice before bed. I need some more protein; maybe a slice of cheese.

In dry areas, like our desert, a swamp cooler is used instead of forced air conditioning. It has pads that are wet down by a pump and a reservar of water and a fan runs over them into the house. The moisture makes the air cooler and is really nice when it's up over 100 degrees around here.

Your list is really good and of course there's the zumba!  I needed more protein but fell asleep...carb coma kept me from adding to my calories and protein..I won't be eating those cabbage rolls as left overs. I can't afford to eat them during the day and fall asleep at my desk.

Keep up the good owkr. See ya.

yeah i had a pretty lazy day myself. did most of the laundry around here so at least i got something done.
for breakfast i had a couple of cups of coffee and a protein smoothie, this time there were apricots in it.
lunch i had a slice of pizza, then the kids came home from their dads and i made popcorn and had quite a bit of that.
dinner was instant mashed potatoes and banquet turkey and gravy i had 2 pieces of the turkey and a large spoonful of potatoes
for a snack i did good for the first one and had a yogurt and then a peach. but i got a bit carried away and ate the last 2 leftover slices of pizza too. didnt do to great today but i guess it could of been worse.

You did about what I did...carbs, but not much and protein but not much of that either...just low lists all around. I think, for me, it's because of the heat that I'm not eating alot..Michigan is warm and a bit humid I think...I know it doesn't need to be 100 degrees to make a person melt!

You did good..Keep up the good work. See ya.

Could you give me your recipe for cabbage rolls. And how many it makes and nutritional values. I would greatly appreciate it.

I used an old recipe I found in a traditional cookbook but used instant brown rice instead of regular white rice

And for the nutritional values I used what is found at fitday for one roll, seriously the protein totals are horrible and the carb totals are horrible too.

From memory I used

3/4 lb lean ground beef
1/3 cup rice (before cooking)
minced onions
beaten egg
8 cabbage leaves and shredded cabbage

cook the cabbage leaves for a few minutes until they are tender, roll up with the meat and put on a bed of shredded cabbage that is salted

Pour over a can of tomato sauce with cooked bacon (I used three strips, it called for four), put an ounce of cheddar cheese on top and cover and cook for about an hour at 350.

Serve with sour cream. Makes 8 rolls.

Hubby said it was sort of bland so you could put some garlic powder in the tomato sauce or something with a bit more taste. There are all sorts of similar recipes for this at recipezaar.com and they have the exact nutritional values there.

Thank you very much.
