What are you eating/ doing today? (Wednesday)

good morning everyone!
i took a vacation day today.. i have so many days saved up; just thought i'd use one to get some stuff done around here. i have the relay for life on friday, so i need to get my shirt done and things prepared for that. woo.
karen, i'm sorry to hear about your troubles. i can't imagine how frustrating it must be to have worked so hard, then put on some weight for reasons beyond your control. keep your head up. you are still FABULOUS. xox

B - 8 oz skim milk + protein powder

S - 1/2 cup cottage cheese + 8 blueberries

L - 1 cup chicken coleslaw

S - sf chocolate pudding + cookies 'n cream protein powder

D - not sure yet; our childcare is having a family BBQ tonight..

Thanks sweetie.  I know I shouldn't be stressing like I am - I'm wearing size 8 for F sake, not 28. LOL

Loving your menu! Do you have a recipe for the chicken coleslaw? And where did you get the cookies n' cream protein powder? What brand? I have been looking for something like this.

:)

hey!

the chicken coleslaw was actually a recipe from eggface. here it is:

1 cup Smoked Turkey Breast, diced (i had chicken on hand, so i just substituted)
1/2 (1/2 a 16-ounce bag so 1 cup) bag Broccoli Slaw Mix
1/2 (1/2 a 16-ounce bag so 1 cup) bag Cabbage Slaw Mix
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1/4 Small Red Onion, diced fine
1/4 cup Raisins
1/4 cup Slivered Almonds
1/4 cup Mayo (i used ff miracle whip)
1/4 cup Greek Yogurt
1 Tablespoon BBQ Sauce
1 Tablespoon Cider Vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
a few twists of Black Pepper to taste

In a large bowl combine turkey, slaw mixes, onion, cheese, raisins and almonds. Mix mayo, yogurt, BBQ sauce, and vinegar together. Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture, season with salt & pepper and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour before serving.


as for the protein powder, i usually get my stuff at this place by my house called 'sportmax'. but the cookies n cream that i have on hand right now was just from walmart. the brand is "iso sensation 93". 1 scoop = 130 calories, 30 grams of protein.

Awesome. I bookmarked it. Sounds soooooooooooooooooo good!!! Both of them!

What kind of BBQ sauce do you use? I was thinking I'd love to get some for chicken on the BBQ, but need to do some nutrition investigations first to see what I could have.

:)

Sorry you're going through a hard time Karen - you are strong and it will balance out in time :-)
