Good Morning!

Im feeling a little better today. Hopefully I just had a hiccup the last couple days. I decided to have an off exercise day yesterday and went home and cooked. My husband has been doing pretty much all of the cooking since he is not working. I really miss it. I LOVE to cook. I even did a little time in culinary school. I decided I needed some ME time in the kitchen and a glass of wine. I made sauteed butternut squash with onions and tossed in some sliced chicken sausage. Ive made it before but I just wasnt feeling the eating of it so much. I ended up making a sandwich ate half and wasnt feeling that either! LOL

Im planning on going out running aka jogging aka shuffling along tonight provided its not raining. Calling for flash floods, but you know how the weather works.

Eats for today:

Coffee w/ cream
1 slice Arnold Double Protein Bread w/ Skippy Natural and banana
Apple and string cheese
WW Smart Ones Chicken Carbonara
Pure Protein Bar
Thinking we will have the black bean burgers tonight.

Good Day, Good Day !

Hi everyone, haven't been here in a while and it definitely time to reach out for some support.  Lots of things going on lately and I've been dealing with them in all the wrong ways, eating the wrong foods, no exercise, too much alcohol and feeling like I am just shuffling through life lately.

So time to pull up my big girl panties, get my diet in order, start exercising, quit making excuses and do the things I know are good for me and make me feel better at the end of the day.

Eats for today:

B-Click, Egg Beaters breakfast sandwich
S-String cheese, jerky
L-Salad w/turkey, feta, sunflower seeds & rasberry vinagrette
S-Quest bar
D-Buffalo chicken, roasted green beans

Hey Botts:

Out early today had to do a CT Scan this morning and I am just getting back.  There was a delay should have been seen 1 hours after you drink the pasty stuff waited 2 hours for what ever reason son they made me drink 1/2 a bottle more because I had gone to the bathroom twice since I had the first one.  So now am gassy as hick, not fit to be around humans.

I walked pass three subways stops just to get a walk in (30 minutes) and I'll do 55 minutes of Wii Active Tennis this evening.

My eatting off so this is what the rest of the day will look like:

PreBreakfast: Nothing
Breakfast: Nothing
Snack (12:30pm) Protein Bar - Snickers Marathon
Lunch: 3:30pm will be a Fruit Smoothie
Snack: if I am hungry, Egg White Omelet with Spinach & Mushrooms
Dinner: Which may be late, the container of Lobster Bisque was I was to have last night
Snack: Vita Top Muffin Top - Bran Blueberry

Enjoy the rest of the day!

I gave in to temptation.
I weighed myself on Sunday morning, then promised myself that I wouldnt weigh in again until the following Sunday.  I made it through half the week, anyway.....
The good news is that the scale is moving down again!  I really like the calorie cycling because it feels like I have a couple of 'cheat' days each week.

It is still raining here in NorCal, but we can definitely use the water.  Happy Hump Day!
