Calorie Countdown - Thursday, its almost the weekend!

Wow it feels like this week has stretched on and on and on.  I don't have a clue what I am going to eat yet, but I figured I'd better open this up for the people who know these things I'll post my food later.  I really want garlic. 

The week after a long weekend oftens seems longer than usual.   Garlic = yum.  I love roasted garlic - such a great flavor - delicious on pretty much anything, but particularly delightful with a nice steak...  We've also been mixing minced garlic with cream cheese and using it as a condiment of sorts on wrap sandwiches.  Best eaten when one does not have a lot of afternoon meetings -

Here's what's on my plate today: 

Breakfast:  1 c. 1% milk in my coffee, 1 packet Quaker Weight Control oatmeal

Snack #1:  1 c. lowfat cottage cheese, 4 tbsp. SF preserves, ~4 oz. strawberries Snack #2:  medium banana, 1 tbsp. peanut butter

[workout #1:  lower body strength training, core work]

Lunch:  WW SmartOnes salisbury steak w/ mac & Cheese, 1 c. watermelon cubes

Snack #3:  either a 6 oz. Breyer's light yogurt w/ 1/4 c. Kashi granola or a Kashi pumpkin spice flax granola bar

Snack #4:  1 slice whole-grain bread, 3 slices smoked turkey, 1 slice low-fat cheese

[workout #2:  cutting grass, yard work - not really a "workout" but I'll be moving!]

Dinner:  again with the unknown - my house is really struggling with dinner ideas - we all want to eat healthy, but none of us really has a taste for anything.  been eating a lot of salad w/ protein as a default, but really looking for some other tasty summer options.  need to spend some time looking for ideas this weekend -

Snack #6:  2 sugar-free fudgesicles

Man, I have the hardest time keeping up with this. I don't get a lot of extra time at work now and every night has been training time, so I am almost never on the internet. But I thought I would pop on in and try to post my food and exercise today. I've been working my butt off trying to lose this weight but it isn't happening. My body is going through something weird so I just keep plugging away. You would think with all the exercise I have been doing that I would lose by the buckets, but no. I've been experimenting with changing things around - I usually have 3-4 fruit servings a day, I have cut that back to 1 for this week plus a couple of veggies a day. I'm hoping the change recharges my body - yesterday it worked, I lost 4 pounds. So, I'll stick with this for a few more days. pre-workout snack: PB pudding breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs with a slice of 2% cheese snack: fat free yogurt and 1 serving of cubed cheese lunch: WW Homestyle chicken w/ green beans snack: 1 c. pinto beans dinner: strawberry and chicken salad with pecans and poppyseed dressing (YUM!) snack: atkins protein bar snack: skinny cow cone calories: 1748 fat: 58 carbs: 188 fiber: 38 protein: 122 water: at least 122 ounces

I'm still on my modified liquid diet, and am pleased to report I have lost 6 lb since Monday, woo! Today will be mostly protein drinks/protein pudding and then meat for dinner.  Go, meat! Kix

Ok here's my plan B - 16oz mootopia L - 1c vegetarian baked beans S - 16oz mootopia D - 4oz chicken breast, 1c broccoli, 1/2c home made alfredo sauce S - fiber one bar Calories - 1272 Fat - 44g Carbs - 115g (26g from fiber) Protein - 99g

Happy to report I've lost 10 of the 12 pounds I gained while in the hospital last week!! I'm bored stiff sitting at home, but have no energy to be out and about for long. I did go get my hair done today, drove myself for the first time, and then went to lunch with my Mom, now I'm worn out! Pre B - SF NF Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte B - english muffin w/peanut butter, banana S - 2 slice turkey, 2 slices Fontina cheese L - salad, 1/2 the insides of a chicken sandwich shared with Mom S - SF NF iced carmel Latte D - Navy bean and ham soup, salad S - ?

I'm glad you are getting well, and sorry you are bored stiff!  I remember that after my second surgery - too tired to do anything you are allowed to do, and too bored not to do anything at all! 

Today has been a whirlwind.  We drove to Fort Walton (about 1 hour from here) to record a new 30 minute show for the theatre that I work at.  So breakfast was  same-old, same-old but I like my same-old, same-old.  I had a doctor's appointment at 12:45 to get my stitches out and we had to rush to get back so we stopped at Tropical Smoothie.  Man those things are huge. They were very helpful in telling me about their menu and knew the difference between natural sugars and refined sugar. So, here's my deal today: B - SBD Protein bar 10 g protein 140 cals L - Tropical Smoothie w/ protein powder 25G protein 300 calories      It took me 3 hours to drink it all

D - ?  who knows.  Probably eat out tonight.  Don't feel like cooking.
