Back On Track with the Somersize plan.....

S - Tea/Water
S - 1/2 slice Sugar Free New York Style Cheesecake

Exercise....Plan is 20 minutes on the treadmill...we shall see since I have not been doing any exercise.

All water and vitamins will be done before dinner.  Extra water after will be a bonus.

I have all my meals planned out for the week.  May be boring to some but it is things that I love to eat.  I love this plan, it makes me feel better.  I don't know why I keep going off it....just carb lust!  Hopefully this will get me back on plan for a couple of months and then it will just be second nature again.

No exercise today per doctors orders. I have a pinched sciatic nerve and he wants me to rest a few days and just do stretching for my back.

Here's where I'm at so far:

Breakfast: 8 oz protein shake
Morning Snack: 3/4 oz piece of reduced fat sharp cheese
Lunch: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich on protein bread with 8 oz chicken boullion.
Fluid so far: (2) 10 oz mugs tea and 16 oz crystal light
Afternoon snack: apple
Dinner: will be the chicken soup/stew I made in the pressure cooker last night at midnight.
I used 2 chicken leg quarters, 1 onion, 3 carrots and a couple of potatos that were starting to "go". I'm not sure how much of this I will eat though.

Tonight is usually a 2 hour gym night, But I only had 4 hours sleep last night and am not sure if I will even go.

 I'm going to be kind to myself, as I've just started a full time job (not quite used to waking up before the sun!) and am dealing with an iron deficiency...working on both of those issues now!
6:30am: Click/Champion Whey Stack protein shake with 1 c almond milk
9:30am: 1/2 Powercrunch Protein Bar
12pm: 1 c black bean soup, 1 hard boiled egg
3pm: 1/2 Powercrunch Bar
edited: 5:30 1/2 protein shake (just couldn't drink it all...once they get "soupy" from a frozen-frosty state, I can't stomach them!)
7:30: 3 oz chicken, 1/2 c homemade broccoli slaw (with apple, walnuts, raisins and lowfat mayo)
I'm done for the evening. :-)
have had decaf coffee and water thorughout the day

exercise: part of my job is running up and down between 3 floors, several times a day....
I LOVE Zumba! I am hoping to be cleared for cardio in a week or 2...people, take your vitamins and, if you are still premenopausal, take your iron!! My iron deficiency caused some heart issues and that is why I am not Zumba-ing right now!!!

Day 1: great day so far....the sun came out, I got out and walked with my little buddy Jack for about 1 hour...stopped alot so he could look at all the wildlife so I'm clocking in 30 minutes for cardio and plan to get on my stationary bike for another 30 minutes shortly.

My day in food has been:

Breakfast: 2 cups coffee with skim milk and 4 tbsp of FF FV Creamer
                2 scrambled eggs (made with skim milk)
                1 tsp smart balance spread
                1 slice 2%american cheese
                vitamins and supplements and Rx

Lunch:      0% greek yogurt (chobani black cherry)
               1 apple

Dinner:     1/2 cup basmati rice
               1/2 cup corn (frozen)
               4oz grilled chicken breast

Snack:     Atkin Shake 
               1/2 cup canned pineapple (in its own juice)

water intake for the day will be 11 cups of flavored non carb water...thinking I'm going to be up alot during the night...lol

total cals for the day 1277 minus exercise credit total for the day is 1171 will be a bit lower after I do my bike so may have to have something else to get my cals to 1200...all in all I am so pleased with myself for sticking with it...Day 2 here I come....

Found out it's going to cost $550.00 to fix my car and that has killed my appetite and added to my funk. Nothing to eat or drink since lunch.
I'll try for a protein shake in the morning.

Did better today but still need to do better esp after looking at everyone food

B-2 scrambled eggs, cheese, a handful of grapes
S-more grapes
L-salad, cauliflower, cheese, ranch dressing, a couple more grapes
S-3 deli thin slices of turkey, cheese, a little bit of popcorn, and 1 tootsie pop
D-1/2 of a pork chop, salad-cauliflower, ranch dressing

Did better on my waters and cut down on the diet pop. Went to my daughters volleyball games and avoided most of the snacking.

Ran 3 miles today and played 3 hours of scatter dodge ball with the high school kids at work. Trying real hard to avoid carbs. Want to lose this last 20 pounds.

I was up early and did a 20 minute fat burning HIT workout before work, then I stopped at the Y and ran/walked on the TM: 1.5 run @5 MPH total and walked 1.0 mile @4 mph @3.0 incline. All my water and vitamins!
0845-oatmeal w splenda 2 boiled eggs
1030-1/2 serving Erins lf popcorn and a pumpkin muffin w splenda and applesauce substituted
for sugar and fat
1230-1/2 lc chicken ceasar wrap and 1/2 apple
1500-1/2 c cottage cheese and a nsa dole fruit cup
1900-3 oz hamburger patty, sandwich thin
2100-?ff fage and raspberries? not sure but that is the plan!

The above is about 1500 cal and a bit over 100 of protein. Good start to the 8 week challenge that ends 6 days before my 45th birthday! Hoping I will have given myself the gift of a 10 pound weight loss!

Breakfast 1-Coffee w/scoop of Protein powder
Breakfast 2-1 string cheese and 1 sausage ball
Lunch-Sweet and Spicy Tuna package and Broccoli/Carrots medley
Snack-1 string cheese, 1 sausage ball and 2 cheese/cheese crackers
Dinner-3 oz baked chicken and 1/2C string beans

Added it up and realized was under 1000 calories...no wonder I feel loopy!  Thought it was my allergies.  I felt like I was eating all day long, but the calories are too low.  Need to make some adjustments.

Cardio
Walked for 20 minutes today.
