Friday, October 11th, Cardio & Cafe

Thank you sweet Jesus it is Friday!  Good Morning Botts:

I will actually be glad that my boss will be back on Monday.  I have had to do his job and mine and it has been tough being in two places at once.  He will come back looking pretty good and my desk is a wreck.  Oh well, makes me appreciate him when he gone and he does the same when I am gone.  It definitely take two to run this show full time.  My eats for today are:

Breakfast:  Coffee & Miralax

2nd Breakfast:  Banana

Snack:  Protein Shake

Lunch:  Quest Protein Bar

Snack:  Vitatop Brownie

Dinner:  1 slice Cheese Pizza Semi-Homemade

Snack:  Deep Chocolate Vitatop

Exercise:  I plan to cut my walk in half tonight, my legs and ankles really hurt last night when I went to bed.  I may be pushing to much.

I hope everybody as a gorgeous Friday and a wonderful weekend.  Remember to take your vits and fluids.

Alright Tess, TGIF!!

Breakfast:  2 eggs, low fat cheese stick

Snack:  Banana, Peanuts

Lunch:  2 oz Chicken and salad

Snack:  Apple

Dinner:  Veggies and probably beef

Exercise: Gym and probably a shortened walk today.

Now that is a menu that I can follow!  I love peanuts but when I eat them I can't stop.  I use to buy the peanuts in the jar and now I only buy a single small snack bag when I am craving.  Know my limits...

I know! Peanuts can be a big problem if too much quantity lol. Ended up subbing in veggies instead of salad for lunch. Not a biggie, but we have a great Mongolian grill here in my office building and needed lunch :)

Thank God it's PAYDAY!!! Gotta do some major grocery shopping this weekend. Why is it that everything weird runs out at the same time? We're out of mustard, ketchup, bar soap, windex, light bulbs, coffee filters. On top of the normal things like meat, eggs & dairy. It'll be like an extra mortgage payment when I get the total. I'm not complaining - just thankful for the paycheck.

My exercise today will be toting groceries up the stairs. Out kitchen is on the second floor. I've had to learn to pace myself and not try and bring everything in in one trip. This way I get more trips and exercise.

Eats today look like:

comute: coffee

Breakfast: (Plain) Greek Yogurt and cajun trail mix (Weird but good)

Lunch:   Steamed shrimp

snack:   Starbucks

Dinner:  Mexican  (taking the kiddos out for dinner)

Yall have a great day!!!

I love pay day!  It means I get to stay in my house for another month, yippee!!!  When I go warehouse food shopping my total is usually more than my first house note was and I don't have near enough boxes in my car to show for with my purchases..

Morning and TGIF on this Chilly SF morning.

Final day of the 5DPT, I am limping across the finish line. I was great the first three days but late yesterday I lost it, big time. I went to Walgreen's to look for some gloves was reward to rows upon rows of stuff that rhymes with dandy. Now normally I don't even eat "dandy" but the thought that I could not have it, gave me fits. Ya'll I picked up two pieces and decided, Oh well, this doesn't seem to be working any way, I have lost one pound and I, I... wait I am feeling full, really full. So I made two laps around the store, returned the offending items and walked out the door and took the long, hilly way back to the office. 

B: Egg scramble

S: Baby Belle Cheese

L:  4 oz Chili

S: green tea latte (almond milk, organic green tea)

D: 3-4 oz mini cheese burger, with diced mushrooms and cheddar in the burger, no bun or fixings.

YEAH for returning the "dandy"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was AWESOME!!!  Keep on keeping on.  You can do it!

Proud of your will power!  Sometimes resetting the pouch does not give you instant results on pounds dropped but it does give you the ability to make better choices and eat less.  Good job
