Been thinking about how to better handle my weekend eating, Saturday & Sunday are me hardest food days for the week...Also Tess, saw your post on meal plan - shake/bars + one LF meat & veggie, will think about implementing a similar plan to help give me a kickstart - what I'm doing now feels too slow - need a little instant gratification to keep me motivated ...

S : fru fru coffee
L : smoked sausage link, hard boiled egg, cheese stick

Cardio : 1/2 mile walk with Bella & D/H

Total cals/protein : 902/64

 Hi Alesia:

I know what you mean.  Some times just dropping a pound or two will really get me revved up.  Even when I go out to dinner, I always choose a green salad or green vegetable with the leanest piece of meat (either steak or chicken).  I have them hold the bread basket and serve my dressing on the side.  I promise you that I am just as full and satisfied as my husband who may have had FRIES with his steak.  We don't go out to often but I always try to enjoy my dinner when I go.

My day is going well.  I did ten minutes on the treadmill, took my vitamins and drank plenty water.  Here's what I ate today:
