Menus and Miles Sunday Aug. 8th

Spent yesterday home all day.  Helped DH plant all of my new roses bushes and watched the 2 youngest grandbabies play with play dough, on swings, and in their battery cars.  Nice relaxing day.  Off to church, cheerleading, and groceries, so I will catch up with you all later

Hi Roz and everyone.
Day 2 of Optifast and one food meal.  So today I will have swiss chard out of the garden, and broiled chicken.  I think I still have some fresh peaches for my fruit.
Yesterday I cooked some sliced celery (free food) and added it to my chicken soup optifast.  That was good.  Today I'm going to try fresh basil from the garden and celery in the tomatoe soup optifast.
I was also thinking that I could do a soup with the veggies and then use the broth as a free food.  Any thoughts about that? 
I'm not getting hurngry but on day 2, I'm bored already.

 I keep forgetting to get on here and post my food! Ugh. Oh, well. I'll try again to get in the habit of it!

 Shannon, 

Do your doctor and nutritionist think you are getting enough calories? I'm always curious as to what the recommendations are for everyone. Mine want me to be getting 1500 calories a day. 

Do you get hungry?

Hope your weekend has been fabulous!

Hugs, 

Elizabeth.
No, they want me to up my calories to 1000-1200. I try to get between 600-700 a day, some days I am under that. I am still trying to lose, but I work out/run hard 6 days a week, so they want me to up my carbs, calories, and fat. But this is working for me and I have plenty of energy to get through the day. I don't get hungry often, sometimes I have to force myself to eat what I do. Occasionally I get hungry, and have something extra. I did an online BMR calculator, and it said to maintain I would need 1300 calories a day, so I feel like if I upped my calories any more, it would be very hard to lose.

Next week is my last before school starts (pd, kids come the week after that) and I hope I can work out a good routine.  It's hard with a 30 min lunch and not even the full 30 by the time you check your mailbox, use the restroom, etc.  No midmorning or aternoon time for snacks.  I've never been one to snack at my desk because I'm never there.  I will appreciate any advice you have to offer. Today I have had:
1 scrambled egg and carne guisada for breakfast
1 shake (I do the quick, easy, carton of EAS Advantage that is 110 cal and 17g protein - I know there are shakes that you blend yourself that pack more of a protein punch, but I do like the grab and go thing)

lunch: toasted sandwhich thin rounds, one side with peanut butter and the other with a deli slice of turkey with an avacodo spread (I did not put them together to eat them like my husband thought I was going to do while he watched me prepare them)

tonight: curry Thai chicken in the crockpot and will have that over some long grain wild rice

Have been having low blood pressure today, even though I am not taking hypertensive meds any more. (78 over 50 morning now back to 108 over 78 a moment ago)  will call cardiologist in the a.m.  Decided no exercising today.

Hey there Roz, Got in those morning vitamins and a shake plus a tiny bit of that chinese food i made two days ago. Better cut that recipe in half...lol...At church I ate a piece of cake, a cherry tomato and a glass of tea. At lunch I had watermelon then for supper we ate sweet corn..2 ears and a tomato. I tend to over eat fresh fruit and veggies so I am watching my portions closer as too much is very uncomfortable. Mowed the lawn just before noon and missed the major heat we have been having, next 7 days will be in the 90's as well. Been having headaches as of late ....think it is an allergy thing. Well I will see ya all tomorrow, take care friends.......
