Menus and Miles Monday Nov. 29th

Good morning Roz!! Today is a new day for new recharged attitude. My surgiversay is approaching very soon and although I have reached my personal goal of 135...i would like to see how close I can come to 125 in the next 4 weeks (the week of Christmas). Like everyone else, although not anywhere near preop old days, but I ate a lot and lots of sodium laddened carbs...they were yummy though...anyways...

So, here's to a new goal and new prize!! Here's my menu for the day

B - Protein coffee (48g & 228 cal)
L - Shredded lettuce w/ chicken and topped with salsa (32g & 377 cal)
and protein pumpkin cheesecake bites I made last night (6g & 60 cal)
S - Pure protein bar (20g & 200 cal)
D - 3oz top sirloin w/veggies (23g & 180 cal)
S - Protein hot cocoa (24g & 164 cal)

Protein: 153 g (goal 100g+)
Calories: 1209 (goal 1000'ish)

Vits: Morning and afternoon batch done! 
Water: will start after  but 96oz is goal. ETA: I have downed 2 qts (64oz so far) will certainly get to 96 before leaving work...
Miles: Intense cardio to burn at least 350 calories.

So there ya have it...CHARGE AHEAD!!!! I'm on a mission!! 

Have a great day

Great new Avie!!  It sounds like you have a good plan for the Holidays.  It's better starting with a goal right now than waiting until after the Holidays and then having a couple extra pounds to take off.

I think we all enjoyed Thanksgiving but hopefully like you we all made better choices than we did before WLS.  I know I really watched my sweets and didn't over do it.  It was easy for me because of the extended family being around.  I know some of them are hoping I fail.

How do you make the protein pumpkin cheesecake bites?

Awe, thanks...yes, I have a plan...now I gotta stick with it!! Here's the recipe for the protein pumpkin cheesecake bites: 

Protein Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites w/crust!!!

 

Filling:

 

1 block of fat free cream cheese (8oz block) room temp

2 scoops of vanilla protein (I use Dymatize Elite Vanilla for all my shakes, recipes, etc. It is 24g @ 114 cal each scoop)

2 egg beaters (1/2 cup)

3/4 cup splenda (use less if you don't want that sweet taste)

1 tblsp vanilla extract

1/2 can pumpkin puree (use more or less depending on taste)

1 tspn pumpkin pie spice

 

Blend cream cheese and eggs very well. To mixture add splenda, protein powder, vanilla, and spice. Let sit while you make the crust (optional)

 

Crust:

 

4 full crackers of low fat honey graham crackers finely chopped (will yeild around 3/4 cup...add more if needed)

3 tblspns margarine melted in microwave

 

Pour the melted margarine over finely chopped crackers. Press mixture into whatever pan you are using. I used a mini muffin tin of 24 minis.

 

Bake in 350 oven for 5-8 min. Remove and let cool to room temp. Add filling and place back in oven to bake until a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove and let cool/set.

 

Enjoy... :)

 

STATS:

 

40 cal per bite (mini muffin size)

3g of protein per bite

1.5g of fat per bite

3g of carbs per bite

 

Perfect bite size and has passed the test of the cheesecake lover in this house and the picky eater boy. Also, brought to work and they all know "how" I eat and it's all about low fat, protein, etc...and I had 3 tasters...and they all gave thumbs up!! They even put in a request for me to try chocolate choc chip version...oh its on now...lol :)

That does sound really good.  Thanks!!

Hello All

B:  1/4 cup of cottage cheese  2 teaspoons of SF applesauce
L:  2.5 ox tuna packed in water w/ 1 tbs of FF mayo and some 1tbs of diced tomatoes
S: Plain SF greek yogurt
D: 6 oz of Chicken and peas soup
S: 4oz of FF milk w/ 1 scoop of protein

I am trying to be increase my protein and water intake.

My goal today is to have 2 (20oz)  bottles of water while I'm at work, in addition to 1 green tea, plus 1 more water bottle when I get home.

My dinner is at around 7pm. i noticed that if I stay up late and skip my protein snack I wake up from the acid reflux....so I am trying to stick to my protein drink to close my day. 

Also I have lost 25 pounds but still have to wear my size 14. I tried my size 13 last night and they wouldn't fit... Made me upset but I have to be patient.

Hope you all have a great week.
