Menus and Miles Wed. Dec. 8th

We only got about 6" and that's plenty!  A lot of it melted today.

We've got about 2' total - too much snow!

Very cold but a good day.  Went to curves this morning, then work.  When I finally got to recording my food for the day, I was horrified at the totals.  I have eaten on plan, protein at every meal, but my total protein was really low.  So it is either raise the calories more than I want or leave the protein too low.  I can tell what happened, everything until supper was a protein food, but not high.  I guess I need to plan those things on different days instead of the same day.  Oh well.  Another lesson learned.

The one thing I love about "drinking" my Protein is that I don't have to add up my protein food because I know I'm covered.

Maybe try to squeeze a little more protein in before you go to bed tonight.

Hi Roz and LW's...a very busy busy week. I have 5 more workdays (10hr days) to get a lot of work done before my vacation leave. I'm not going anywhere...but will not be at work...hahaha

Anyways, when I am busy working, I hardly remember to do much let alone eat/drink so the menu...eh, not planned either....so it's what it is...

B - biscotti (I know I know...yummy goodness...lol) (2g & 150 cal)
L - sirloin taco salad from el pollo loco minus the rice, shell, guac, and sour cream...(?? g & ?? cal)
S - apple
S - Venti Quad Skinny Caramel Latte (15g & 160 cal) to get me through the last part of my day...
S - Protein Bar (20g & 200 cal)
D - Salad of some sort from somewhere drive thru. Boring I know...eh

Protein: 37 w/o rest of totals. I totally forgot to have my protein shake
Calories: 510 w/o rest of totals

Vits: All done for the day!! I know!!! 
Water: wait for it....wait for it....128oz today. Yes, you read that right. I have been drinking my water and maybe that is why I burned through the day without really wanting to eat/drink anything else?? hhhmmm
Miles: Working my ass off at work and tonight going to watch DS2's jazz concert at his HS. So it's gonna be a late night for sure. Maybe my dinner will be a double protein drink since I forgot to drink that today...hhhmmm....

Hope you had a great day :)

You don't have to feel guilty eating your biscotti...LOL  As long as you account for it and it fits into the limits you are trying to reach then enjoy!

Don't burn yourself out.  Get some rest too.  A vacation at home sounds nice.  I have a couple days off before Christmas and I'm trying to get my shopping done so I can enjoy them.

Breakfast-mocha cheesecake (decaf) protein drink
Lunch-went out to lunch and had a dungeness crab blt salad, it had crab, bacon, egg, avacado, olives and tomatoes over lettuce. Don't know how much I ate (I even got the smaller version) but there is enough at least for dinner and probably lunch tomorrow, too. Just had a taste of the bleu cheese dressing.
Dinner-more of the dungeness crab blt salad.
Snack-Nutella hot protein drink.

How do you make your nutella hot protein drink? I know what nutella is...

It was on Bariatric Foodie.  I haven't tried this one yet but I have tried their cold version.
