That broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken sounds really good!

It was really good!!  I purchased them through a fundraiser at school.  I was really surpised at the quality of it, (thought it would be processed chicken YUCK!).  But it was real chicken. Lol.  They are 4 oz, so they are perfectly portioned too!

Snack:  not sure I will need one, I'm still eating lunch at almost 4pm (got my hair & nails done after workout today and it threw my schedule off)  but if I do, there are strawberries, blackberries, cantaloupe, & watermelon all available.

S: Crockpot roasted chicken, some veggie or fruit.

bedtime: 1/2 of a supreme protein bar (snack size)

I got up this morning and the 1/2 bar from last night that I had put in a little plastic container and put on top of the freezer was gone!!  I don't know if I slept walked and ate it (I don't take sleeping meds, so I don't think I did) or if DS stole it.  DH denies any involvement.  I think it's the DS.  He had left when I got home from hair appt.. so I can't ask.. well I could call his cell phone & find out, but it's better face to face.. he can't lie to Momma nearly as easily looking me in the eye.. LOL

Exercise:

Pilates: 60 cal, HR: 113
Step: 422 cal (!!!!), HR 162

HAHA!! Hey...at least they're stealing HEALTH food!  lol

He denies all involvement...   hmmm   very strange.
