Morning BOTT's

The rushing thing applies different for me, instead of feeling like I'm trying to rush things along, it mostly feels like time is rushing by too fast...A conundrum

Ran out of the protein I use for my protein coffee and supply is on back order so I'm switching things up a bit...I'm not usually a breakfast eater (as in solid food in my mouth), today is the 2nd day of changes and after putting my food in thedailyplate I can see I'm going to have to work on a way to up my protein (the powder has such a great boost, already missing it & while the Quest bars are a decent substitution, it is way to heavy for 1st meal of the day)...

B : 2 chocolate & pb protein balls ( even a little as these are, they too felt to heavy for 1st thing in the day )
S : fru fru coffee
S (maybe) : 2nd fru fru coffee
L : greek yogurt with banana, SF caramel & Kashi crunch mixed in
S : kahlua custard
S (maybe) : cheese stick with a few pretzel flips
D : caesar salad with chicken strips on top
CARDIO :  Zumba

Sounds like alot of food to me but totals don't reflect it :  Cals 863 / Protein 50 / Carbs 71 - another day where the carbs are too high in my mind even though 1/2 of them are coming from my lunch yogurt concoction & would be classified as "good"

 Food looks good.  I would probably add a quest bar to up the calories and the protein.  It will only add about 4-5 net carbs to your total.

Still have a sick little girl so neither of us is getting much sleep but doctor's office called and her RSV results are negative -- phew! It feels like Spring finally...the 18 inches of snow is melting away. So looking forward to being able to just put on shoes and head out of the door for a walk. Insatiable head and pouch hunger yesterday...not sure why but hope that doesn't happen again for a while. Made for a yucky food journal entry yesterday:
PB - 24 ounces decaf coffee with SF syrup and creme
B - protein shake with coconut milk
S - 3 T sunflower seeds, 1 oz monteray jack cheese
S - skinny SF decaf latte
L - 1/2 Rockin' Roll protein bar
S - other half of the protein bar
D - small cobb salad with dressing on side
S - 1/4 c peanuts, cheese stick, SF jello

Today (I hope):
PB - 24 ounces decaf coffee with SF syrup and creme
B - protein shake with coconut milk
S - 2 oz turkey, 1/2 cup veggie salad
L - 2 oz turkey, 1/2 cup veggie salad
S - skinny SF decaf latte
D - grilled pork chop, broccoli
S - Zone Perfect protein bar

Doing great on water and vitamins.  Only exercise is keeping up with our three-year-old.

I hope your little girl gets to feeling better real soon.  Your food for yesterday doesn't look bad, sometimes we just need extra to pull us through a stressful day.  Keep going, you are doing a real good job.

Travel day today. not much movement so need to make sure the calries stay low. Have bunch of high protein snacks so that will do. Unfortunately i am out of quest bars until i get home. Will live...

Eats today,
Coffee with almond milk
Quest bar and beef jerky
Protein shake & papaya
Turkey jerky, beef jerky, nuts
Coffee with cream...

Maybe can get salad if we have enough time at connecting airport. Will see. If not - i will get some nuts to last me till late night. Plan to be home past midnight... It will be a long day....

Have a safe trip!

Oh no, no quest bars!  I send you one if I could.  I have become addicted to them and not sure if I could make a day without one.  I think they are becoming my drug (food) of choice.  Have a safe trip back home and share all the details when you get back.

Wednesday was a pretty good day.  I'm PMSing like crazy, which usually means I want to eat everything in sight.  The scale moved UP as well, which isnt making me happy, but I feel good, so that's definitely a plus.

I was still tired today and went to bed around 9pm after helping my son with his homework.  I expect that this will be the norm for the next couple of weeks until I get used to the workouts on top of a long day again.

 Congratulations on all those crunches!  I am having a really good day today, why you ask?  I did not weigh today!  I decided to be nice to myself.  My pants are loose and I was not going to let the scale tell me that I was still up a pound.  Sometimes you got to do what is good for your well being.  Have a great rest of the day!

I think I may take a page from you book and simply not weigh myself for the next week or so.
I feel 'lighter' if only because of working out consistently.  I'll put that in the 'win' column and go with it for a week!

You have a great day as well!
