Accountability - What did you eat, Tuesday 4/10?

Last night was my water aerobics night and I really enjoyed it alot - must have released lots of extra endorphines cause I was feeling really happy after exercising...Really looking forward to it warming up earlier in the day cause I want to add a jog/walk program to my exercise plan and will have to fit it in during the early A.M. hours before work ( right now its still to cold)...Anybody else planning to switch up their exercise once it warms up? FOOD : B - 2 protien balls S - 4oz lf cottage w/ added fiber       snack size sf jello L - 1/2 a chicken club w/out the bread       4 parmesan crusted zucchini cubes 1 x 2 inch each S - 2 sf peanutbutter cups       3 chocolate covered expresso beans D - 1 protein ball       medium banana w/ 2 tbsp peanut butter w/ added fiber PLUS - 66 oz water/crystal light and 10 oz hot tea OK maybe the chocolate covered expresso beans contributed to my endorphine euphoria

What is a protein ball? Betsy

A yummy portable protein source, especially if you are a p/b addict...Will post recipe on a request below is you want it...

Great day for you, Alesia!!  Good job!  Black Coffee 2 peanut butter cups  B - 3/4 C. Mixed Berries       2 small multi-grain waffles with 1 T. peanut butter L - Hormel Pot Roast (pre-packaged meal) S - Banana D - Chinese Food - Few bites of rice with chicken and mixed veggies.  Quite possibly the worst food I have ever put in my mouth!  Steer clear of Panda Express!  S - 3 peanut butter cups   (It's that damn Easter Bunny!) 48 oz. water and a little Chrystal Lite in the afternoon.  Still not enough fluid!!!

Kristi,

Thanks for the thumbs up, I felt pretty good about the day...What do you think you need to do to help get in the water?  I know when I get wrapped up in a project, my drinking seems to slow down so I try to keep the bottle in my hand at all times then when I have to put it down because I'm using both hands I will take at least 2 good sips before letting go of it...might help

Ordinarily, getting enough water is never a problem for me - but you hit the nail on the head regarding being wrapped up in something and the water levels go down..... It's tax time  and I am totally and completely swamped at work  - I hardly have time to refill my water bottle during the day and since I'm so busy, I certainly don't have time to go running to the bathroom as often as needed when I do get in the water!   Hopefully, once Tuesday rolls around, things will get better! Thanks for the suggestion, though!!  Hugs! Kristi

Hi Alesia, can you share your protein ball recipe? Thanks! Cathy

Cathy,

I use both these recipe's and enjoy them alot, my preference is always chocolate protein powder because if reminds me of eating a p/b cup, I have also made them with chocolate mint protein powder which is quite tasty too...

PROTEIN BALLS I
1 cup Peanut Butter
1 cup rolled oatmeal -- not the instant stuff
1 cup protein powder
5 packets Sugar substitute

Warm the peanut butter in microwave about 30-40 seconds -- it melts it and makes mixing in the other ingredients much easier. Add the oatmeal, protein powder, and Sugar substitute and mix well. (If needed, you can add a little bit of water to make it easier to mix) Roll into walnut sized balls, refrigerate. Store in fridge in zip-lock baggies. This recipe makes 20-24 balls.

PROTEIN BALLS II
1 cup of protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
1 cup of non-fat dry milk
1 cup of rice crispy cereal
1 cup of peanut butter
Sugar substitute to taste
Cocoa powder mixed with Sugar substitute

Add the Protein Powder, Dry Milk, Cereal and Peanut Butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly making sure that all the dry milk is in the mix and not really visible. If you like it really sweet, add some more Sugar substitute to fit your taste. Form the mixture into small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) Roll in the cocoa/Sugar substitute mix.
