Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? - Thursday

Feeling better today -- but I am so tired of not sleeping!!  Can't sleep at night--my mind is always racing, so I end up dozing during the day.  Hate that - makes me feel like I'm wasting my life away.  I have to drive a friend to an appointment every morning at 6:00 - if I take my axiety medication, I can sleep but then I'm way too groggy first thing in the morning.  Can't wait for the frigid weather to be over - seems I have more energy when it's warmer.  (I know, ***** ***** ***** - never happy!)

Edited to reflect changes: Added Protein Coffee to breakfast (drank half an hour after the egg); Omitted Chicken for dinner - just not hungry so moved my shake to dinner; and will have some almonds as a snack.

B: 1/4 of a cheese sandwich/coffee

L: honey baked turkey breast/cheese/cucumbers/hummus

D: probably more turkey and veggies

I'm computerless until Monday and I hate doing anything involved on my phone and tablet. Whine. 

1: frankenshake 

2: leftover sushi (all gone, sigh)

2.1: American cheese

3: lamb burgers, tzatziki (didn't make this last night since I zonked out)

liquid and vites: on track

exercise: 1:22:25 on treadmill at 1% incline for a total of 4.46 miles, 30 minutes yoga (intermediate stretches for runners)

Went to the  dentist, it seems your teeth do not get better with weightloss. LOL Although the dentist did tell me one of my BP meds I am scheduled to stop CAN help my gums. Anyway, it really messed up my eating schedule so I have been improvising.

B: String Cheese, coffee

L: Cosi Turkey Chili medium sized.

S: Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt

D: Roast beef, veg (probably 1oz potato)

B: two cups of coffee

L: romaine,  red onion,  carrots with homemade creamy Greek dressing,  2 buffalo chicken meatballs

S: pork rinds

S: 2 slices deli chicken and cheese

D: maybe another salad with chicken meatballs? 

That salad sounds delicious! Do you make the meatballs yourself?

Oh yeah! I use two packages of perdue ground chicken. Finely mince veggies in the food processor, squeeze a little I'd the juice out. Add it to the chicken with one egg and a bunch of spices like chili powder,  onion powder,  parsley. Form into meatballs and bake until done at 375. I heat them as needed in a pan with buffalo sauce. 

I usually use different veggies depending on what I have in the fridge. This time i used carrots,  celery, onion,  few cloves of garlic. 

B: 1 Atkins Cafe Caramel Shake

S: 1/3 Premier Protein shake - chocolate

L: P3 protein pack

S: spicy peanuts

D: Beef stew w/ veg

S: Triscuits and pimento cheese

Hi Mary,

I've been having trouble sleeping as well.  I lay in bed and think about what might calm me - a glass of wine or a serving of some food.  I don't give in to it.  I'm not going to blow my weight loss with late night snacks, but its been frustrating.  Sorry you are having trouble, as well.  I hope it passes soon.
