What's on your Tuesday Menu?

Good Tuesday Morning Gang!! The workout went well last night. We got a really good lesson on how to properly use the different circuit machines and how many reps/intervals we each should be doing. For me since I'm looking for weight loss it was more reps, but with lighter weights. That keeps your heart rate up and metabolism boosted. While Irvin wants to gain muscle he did less reps, but heavier weights. We did learn some great stuff.

The water wash has started here at work and so far so good. There are two interviews today for Utility Operators and one tomorrow for an E&I tech.

QOTD: What is your biggest struggle when it comes to nutrition? Mine is properly tracking what I eat. The portion/serving size, calories, carbs, sugars, proteins, fats.

B: coffee and two eggs scrambled with cheese

L: Slice of chicken loaf

D: small tossed salad with hard boiled egg

Tonight at the Y we will be doing low impact exercises. I believe treadmill and elliptical.

Have a great day everyone!!!

Oh and we ordered a full body scale. The thing checks everything from weight to muscle mass to fat mass and all sorts of other stuff.

Good mornin Jennifer! A hello to everyone else too.

I had an appointment with my bariatric doc yesterday and he told me MC may not be the best for me. I trust him a lot. So I am trying a 1500 calorie diet for a 30 day period. He is doing it with me and we'll show each other our written food logs. He challenged me to that and 15 minutes of walking and he'll walk a certain amount more too. So I see him again in a month. I'm starting that today. I'm pretty upset about the money I spent on MC but might go back to it if the 1500 plan doesn't work out.

Not sure what's happening today. We are thinking we might do some stuff around the house but knowing my mom she'll think of somewhere to go. I need to wash a couple loads of laundry and my bedding. Clean up a bit on my bedroom and organize some of my chainmaille supplies.

I found an excellent chai tea. Twinnings chai ultra spice. It's so good. Inexpensive and tasty. If you like chai I recommend it a lot.

QOTD: portions and journaling EVERYTHING...I mean every little thing. Sometimes when I have a cracker with a piece of cheese I will say to myself that it's small so it doesn't matter. Yeah...I can be delusional!

B: egg, part skim ricotta, low carb delightful bread and a breadstick with some cheese(100 calorie snack pack)

S1: apple with 1 tbs of PB

L: most likely a burrito

S2: hummus and carrot chips

D: hasn't been decided yet.

have a great one!

That's great your Bariatric doctor is working with you.
