What are you eating/doing today? (Wednesday)
Good morning!
Off to work, then I have my 9-month follow-up appt at the hospital. Working on cover letters as I'm trying to line up a practicum for the spring/summer so that I can finish this degree, and am really hoping that someone will actually pay me for my practicum (almost unheard of in social work).
B - Greek yogurt, strawberries, Kashi cereal (2T)
S - oz old cheddar, grapes
L - baby spinach, sesame seeds, LF dressing, turkey
S - 1/2 protein bar
D - don't know yet, maybe tuna and a few ww crackers
S - don't know
Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning Karen!!! Where do you live? what area are you looking to do your practicum? good luck with getting paid, that'll be a challenge.
i had a much better day yesterday. I went back to using my timer on my phone to remind me about 30 minutes no drinking, which really helped. Not just with the no drinking, but to remind myself to wait. I was "hungry" last night, but made myself wait till 8pm to have a snack, which really worked well. Thanks to everyone who chimed in yesterday to remind me about the bigger picture, and the techniques to stop stupidness!
B- egg scrambled in microwave, 1 oz light cheese
S - bran muffin and cheese
L - meatballs and broccoli
S - yogurt with bran
D - fish, some kind of veggie
S - banana

Morning all :)
I miss you guys! Busy, buys, busy! Council today but not sure if I'm going yet. Kind of hoping not, as I can watch it on my desktop AND my TOM is freakin' out of control (kinda hard to keep getting up to leave in the middle of the meeting. lol) We have the most awesome cafe here at City Hall - the menu is unbelievable, quite frankly. Going to get lunch there today.
B - coffee with milk x 2, protein shake
S - 1 mini babybel cheese, 1/2 Kashi pumpkin bar
L - 1/2 wrap (Grilled AAA beef with romaine lettuce, bean sprouts, peppers and chili aioli)
S - leftover lunch if I'm hungry, tea in the afternoon
D - leftover pasta with tons of veggies and beef
REALLY need to work on my water intake - I'm finding myself quite dehydrated. Dilemma - drink lots = pee lots for me, pee lots = leaving meetings to pee. LOL Anyway, I'm going to be much more mindful of my water.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

it was suggested to me by the dietitian at HRRH to add bran to my diet, you know the bran you make muffins out of (not all bran buds or flakes, but the actual bran). I add two Tbsp to yogurt, and its actually pretty good. I'm sure you could add it to other things too. It's kind of dry and flaky, so you need to add it to something moist. I havent added it to anything savoury, like soup, but it'd be worth a try if you wanted to.
Morning. Back to work today- off yesterday with my little one who had double ear infections...poor little muffinn. It was as a very relaxing day on the couch cuddling and watching cartoons, napping, etc.... But today is back to reality. :)
B- protein shake- really liking the "Chocorite" brand. I use 1 cup milk, 2 scoops Chocorite (24g protein), 1 scoop Big Train Iced Cafe Mocha Mix (from LCG), and blend it all with ice. Yummy.
S- Cheese string and apple
L- leftover beef and kidney bean chili from dinner last night
S- greek yogurt
D- the insides of the chicken enchillada bake I am making for the fam.
S- Quest protein bar after my run tonight. (Ran yesterday and MAN it was cold. Temp on the car said 6 degrees, but the wind was wicked and cold, making it feel impossible to breathe. Hope tonight will be better.)
