Menus and Miles Fri. Mar. 14th

I'm glad you're finally getting some better weather.  I missed any fog today and we're due be OK for the next few days (plus I'm not up early enough on the weekend to see it).

Anyways, I thought I was doing well with my food today, but then I gave in to chocolate. I don't even like protein bars any more, but I was hungry this morning and determined to make good choices, so had that. I paid for my chocolate indiscretion by having a bloaty afternoon!!  That's the trouble with all day meetings... I just don't do well with the temptation of the nice stuff they put out. 

Protein bars and I don't get along.  They make me crave sweets.  My Dr. suggested the Nature Valley Almond Crunch I've been using.  They are almonds, peanuts, and sunflower seeds with a sweet glaze on them.  I don't get the same cravings as I do with other bars and they feel me up.

Awesome Protein Day!

I'm feeling like a beached whale today. Back on the straight and super narrow this weekend.

Hello Roz!  My temperature regulation seems to have improved over the last few months, I haven't been nearly as frozen as I was at first. Tried some mint cookie protein yesterday. Very yummy.  I mixed it with water not milk as I didn't have enough calories, and I put one scoop in 2 cups of water.  but it was still tasty.  My nut is fine with the protein shakes, which surprises me.

B eggs, white beans, spinach

S hard boiled egg, radishes

L sweet and spicy tuna pouch mixed with white beans (yummy) and an orange

S cottage cheese, applesauce

D I think tuna salad, maybe in a ww tortilla

S probably a protein shake

miles no(butt still sore), vites yes, fluids 7 so far, aiming for 13

I'm glad your NUT isn't discouraging the Protein Shakes.  My NUT always encouraged them and I couldn't find one I liked early out.  I mix my Mint Cookie: 1.2 scoops in 8 oz. of water...it's so yummy!  I had one yesterday morning and I really cramped bad. 

Sounds like a good Protein day for you!
