Good afternoon! I drove this morning, so the commute was easy. Lol
Menu is very good, though I'm currently drinking a small hot chocolate. It's a lower-sugar version, but it's still pretty sweet. I doubt I'll get through it, but it's a nice Friday-aft change from my decaf. Maybe I'll mix it in with some decaf and make a frankenbrew. Not to worry, I'll be drinking another 2L of water on top of the 1.5 I've already taken in.
I had some wheat crackers with Colby cheese and turkey for brekkie, and a protein bar as a snack later. Lunch was a spinach salad with tuna, cottage cheese and cucumber. No afternoon snack. Supper is a piece of roast beef and whatever veggies, and water or decaf after that.
QOTD: I have a sheet, cotton blanket and a heavy comforter. My wife always shakes her head because I start out that way and inevitably end up with only the comforter. Somehow, every night, I wriggle away the sheet and blanket but keep the top layer, and wedge the rest up against her, LOL. It drives her nuts but I don't know I'm doing it. It's a queen bed, and I lay right on the edge of my side.
Remember, no matter where you go.......there you are.
Pretty good today.
Breakfast: Cappuccino Smoothie complete with spinach. My boss says my smoothies look like pond scum.
Morning Snack: Coffee with Collagen and another cup of coffee. Love coffee, can you tell? You will before I'm done.
Lunch: Spaghetti Squash Casserole, Green Beans with 1 tsp light margarine.
Afternoon Snack: Built Bar (orange creme), sliced tomato & 1 pouch of herb & garlic tuna creations, 2 light string cheeses.
Supper: Chicken Fajitas, Refried Beans, Black Bean soup, salad and tortilla chips
Evening Snack: Iced Coffee with Premier Protein, Coffee with Collagen and Reddiwhip
1,117 Calories, Protein 125g (43%), Carbs 94g (33%), Fat 31g (24%) which so far isn't too bad since I try to get my macros at 40% carbs, 35% Carbs, 25% Fats.
But there is a problem. I am trying to maintain and so far, even at 1200 calories I continue to lose so I'm trying for 1300 calories. I have a hard time eating that much because servings are small. So, tonight, I have to find more food or face more weight loss. My intentions have never been to shrink away to nothing.
