Menus and Miles Sunday Mar. 27th

If I don't plan I go for the easiest thing I can find which is usually fast food or carbs.  Why are carbs so easy and anything healthy takes time to prepare...doesn't seem right!

You started the day out strong....hope you finished it out as good!!!

Okay, this menu looks out of control, but it just is. I will finish out the day drinking bunches of water and finding a 300 calorie high protein dinner. No more carbs for me today.

MILES
10 mile run this morning - 2nd one this week! I'm looking at a 900 calorie burn for this and just felt I needed the extra carbs/calories.

VITS/WATER
Doing swell!

You are probably right about the carbs!!

I used to love McDonalds Fries before surgery.  I even picked McDonald's for my last meal...my DD's thought I was crazy....LOL  They are definitely a major no no for me so we don't eat there very often anymore but when we do DH usually gives me 3 or 4 fries and I eat them really slow and enjoy them.  I still get the urge to stop there when I am alone.  I just can't let myself get into that habit again because it would be the end for me.

Roz,
That sounds like so much fun to have them all get together.  We are trying to get my Mom's sisters and brothers together for her surprise 80th birthday party.  She is the oldest of 8.  Two of them have passed away.  We are having trouble getting 2 of the others to come, but looks like everyone else will be there.  She thinks we are having a family reunion.

B:  Protein Decaf Coffee
S:  Fuzzy Navel Protein Drink
L:  BBQ, Brunswick Stew, Piece of bread (Church sold plates)
S:  Lemon Tea Protein Drink
S:  Lemon Cookie-made with carb quik, splenda, ff cream cheese, lf ricotta cheese-trying to find something cookie like that doesn't have alot of calories and carbs - it was not very good
D:  Baked Parmesean Crusted Talipia, boiled cabbage
S:  ??
Vitamins:  Done except night time multi
Water:  80 ozs so far
Miles:  None today - took the day off
Linda

I hope you can pull if off and maybe you can convince the other 2 to come!!   Fortunately my DH still has his brothers/sisters but who knows for how much longer.  
 
Some of his sisters haven't talked since their Dad past away  so this was really a great day for them.  It was as though it never happened.  His one brother-in-law recently passed away and his oldest brother just found out he has cancer and that seems to have brought them back together.  My DD's were upset they didn't get invited because they are really close to their aunt who was having the birthday but it was really nice not having "kids and grandkids" there being the center of attention.  They giggled and laughed like teenagers.  

When you find a good low carb cookie you can let me know....LOL  Sweets are the only think I really miss sometimes but fortunately for me I still dump on them.   DH always buys a small bag of the mini M&M cookies when we go to the cheer gym and I can eat 2 without feeling sick so he always saves them for me.  

Good Variety today!
 

   

Hey roz and all,

B omelet/veggies,ham.turkey bacon,1/2 flax muffin
L peanuts
S flax and soy chips
D chicken parmigiana

Cals 1138

Carbs T 46.1 n 9.9
Fluids 56 and drinking
vits behind

Last week was the first time in a long time I went to the grocery store and actually bought groceries for the week.  I think I avoid doing it because I don't want to cook every night...LOL

I'm glad you can get back on track when you get home.  I think I would struggle with that and crave carbs.

Awsome Totals!!!
