Hi Botts

I am bouncing around 210 lbs. I need to move 250 calories more and eat 250 calories less everyday...sounds so simple!

The good: I know the quiche made from a protein/fiber rich tortilla is a great idea for me. Also my veggie soup and salad are good choices. The blueberry plain Greek yogurt smoothie is healthy. Last night I had protein cocoa and Nutrasystem cookies which were great. They will be my "go to" evening snack.

The bad: too much good food at dinner and lunch.

The answer: measure my meat and starches (brown rice, potatoes, whole grain pasta, whole grain bread). I know from Weigh****chers that 1/2 cup is plenty. I think my 1/2 cup has grown.

I need to clean, garden or work out 2 hours a day. I did that today.

Have a great day. Tri

My meal plan:

B: spinach quiche with tortilla crust

L: chicken drumstick, my veggie soup, 1/2 cup brown rice pasta and GARLIC BREAD (from the freezer and not on plan)

S: blueberry smoothie and smaller salad

D: 1 cup vegetable chili, roasted veggies

S: Nutrasystem cookies and protein cocoa

Today has been good!
Happy Mother's day to you! & Me!
This week, I will do low carbs & pump up my movement. (Low carb one meal a day).
( I need to go on the treadmill right now!)

B-Vits. Protein supp. Green tea/80oz. I did it! ( done by 4pm.) I planned to do more water, but I did not ?
L- Low carb meal ( 3 Swiss cheese & salami rollers)
S- Keylime Greek yogurt flip ( too high) 25 carbs. Protein was good, 12,
D- Salmon & salad! Mother's day treat! (My sis & mom wanted spaghetti and meatballs, I passed. I wanted to eat healthier! So I stuck to my plan.
S- Water challenge part 2! ( May opt for a Apple martini instead. Those are my weakness. I love my Spirits!! ( Save that for another day. )
Enjoy your day!
Chat soon.
Jbug.

I know wat you mean, it seems with now little I eat I should be losing faster. My scale shows a gain again but that can't be possible! I know I overdid the salt so that is part of it. Got to be more careful, i had a lot of processed protein today. Tomorrow lots of water! And I'm not weighing in for a few days.

I'm Sure your weight loss will show next week, you're probably having water retention, it is frustrating!

Take care,
Edie

Well this week was a little different.
After going through the constipation event. I decided to do liquids during the day, and one meal for dinner. Which needed to be some form of veggies. Only meat has been chicken. It's all about the protein.
This let down, only encourages me to step up my movement/exercise game!! I am breaking out the step!! ASAP.
Got on the scale Sat. morn. Disappointed, only 1 pound dwn. this week. My monthly was on, so perhaps I am off. Plus I definitely increased my water this week? So what happen? Perhaps next Sat. will be a better weigh in day. I guess a 1 lb. loss is better than gaining a pound. Or no loss at all right? The weather has been cold and dreary so that is not helping the mood at all. Not giving up. On a physical good note. My knee is not paining me? due to some wl. I can only hope.
It's only been 2 weeks officially. And in total -14lbs. So if I look at it like that, I am still encouraged to keep pushing. 199 here I come.
