FRIDAY (WOO HOO) - Cafe and Cardio

Yeah it is Friday!  I'm feeling slightly better (woo hoo!) so I'm hoping I won't sick my weekend away. 

I'm a pilot and I cannot believe the amazing plane crash yesterday landing on the water.  It is miraculous.  I couldn't stop watching it last night.  I channel surfed to watch it on the different channels.  One of the most amazing photos is all those people standing on the wings getting rescued. 

Here's for today:

FOOD:

B - 1/2 coffage cheese
S - Turkey
L - Turkey and White Cheddar Kruncheez

Good Morning Cathy and Happy Friday 

I think we are all amazed and so thankful for the miracle that happened in NY yesterday. How precious life is and we never know when it will end.  I know it's corny, but all the more reason to live each day to the fullest.

I usually like to come here and post my food at the end of the day.  Kinda like ok, here is what I ate.  But I am going to try posting what I plan to eat and then post at the end of the day, here is what I did eat.    

Exercise????  Girl it's 27 below zero I am not sure the car will even start, so I am headed down to the basement during lunch for 3 miles on the treadmill and then after work going to do some bag work.

Food

B - Oatmeal with protein
S - red and yellow peppers with LF cheese
L - chili with cheese
S - protein bar or almonds
D - grilled fish with brown rice and steamed veggies
S - Fage with fruit and SF syrup

Have a BOTT day everyone 

Cathy is there anything you don't do?  You are a remarkable lady!

I plan to walk (probably 2.4 miles in the mall) this evening after work so I had my favorite breakfast - instant weight control oatmeal and chocolate Unjury protein. 

 Looking forwrad to a happy BOTT day and wish you one as well.  Hope you're soon feeling ever so much better

HI Ladies;

Here is my plan for today

cardio:  45 minutes on the treadmill

Breakfast:  Blackberry yougurt and chicken salad with a low carb tortilla wrap...very happy to say that when I got to work a co worker had brought in some HUGE banana nut and blueberry muffins and I so wanted one but I resisted!! Yeah!!

Lunch- Same as lunch with a different flavor yogurt

Dinner:  Go out to eat but I think it will be grilled chicken and veggies.

Snack:: Protein Bar

I do have to confess that while I was resiting the muffins, I ate a few peppermint candies...that was not as bad as the muffin but not the greatest choice....oh well....

Here's my food plan for the day:
(My food log is public, take a peek if you want.)

Commute -- protein hot cocoa
Arrive at work -- fake latte
Breakfast -- apple/pear/raspberry protein crumble (OMG!)
Lunch -- white chicken chili (OMG again!) and a side salad
Snack -- 2 cheesesticks
DELETE THE CAKE -- No cake left at 4:30 - so I resisted all day and it paid off!  and a tiny sliver of Doreen's homemade orange/pineapple cake (if there's any left by 4:30)
Dinner -- baked fish with edamame
Late Snack -- airpopped popcorn  (I always stay up super late on Friday nights, so this will happen around midnight or so, I'm sure)

Calories: 1,311

Fat: 37.8

Carbs: 140.7

Protein: 119.0

My exercise plan:
Gotta remember to take my yoga mat home tonight so I can do some sessions in the living room.  Got several shows DVR'ed from FitTV and need to practice some of the stuff I'm learning in my yoga classes here at work.  Fun stuff!

Pam...

Can you post the recipe for apple/pear/raspberry crumble?  Its sounds wonderful...

Thanks...

Helen

Sure... here's my concoction from last night.  It's loosely based on Eggface's crumble recipes, but I couldn't find hers last night quickly, so I just winged it. 

In 5 ramekin dishes, equally divide:

1 medium apple -- peeled and diced
1 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup canned pears (diced) - packed in juice

Topping:
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 Tablespoon ground flax seed
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (it was a heaping scoop)
1 handful ground almonds (guessing about 1/4c)
1/4c Splenda Brown Sugar Blend (if you dump, you might want to use regular Splenda instead)
2 tablespoons vanilla sugar free coffee syrup

Mix dry ingredients, then add syrup and mix until you get a crumbly mixture.  Top ramekins with the crumble topping.  Bake until the fruit is tender and the crumble is golden and crisp.

It's kind of carby, but fruit and oatmeal are good carbs.  Here's the stats:

Calories: 192

Fat: 3.5

Carbs:  32.0

Protein: 10.5

Happy Friday!

Cardio: Not going to happen today - heading out of town.

Cafe:
B - Fiber cereal, dash of soy milk
S - 1/2 50 Gram Slam, banana
L - 2 slices of roast beef & cheese, bean salad  (Would love more of the chicken chili instead =}
      grape tomatoes
S - 1/2 50 Gram Slam, cheese stick
D - ? grabbing something on the road
LNS - ? probably nothing unless I take it to the hotel
 

I'm having my final bowl of the chicken chili from mom today for lunch.  I'm thinking I might need to make a pot of it myself. That stuff is so good!
