Sandy, I'm with you in regards to the heat and sun. I am a hot weather wimp!! I can't understand people who are out running in this weather, but they probably think I'm nuts when they see me out walking in the snow and frigid temperatures.

I saw a dietician a few weeks ago. The plate method was her recommendation for healthy weightloss. In a nutshell, for both lunch and dinner your plate should be 1/2 vegetables (eat as many as you like), 1/4 protein (3-4oz), and 1/4 whole grains (1c.). Fruit should be included as an additional side or eaten as snacks. This seems very elementary, I know, but I have really found it useful. Instead of having just pizza for dinner, I now have a few slices with a huge salad. It has really helped me to cut down on overeating the high calorie foods. Basically, it has given me much more of a balance in my diet.

Windy,
I keep seeing your meal plans, and you keep saying "Plate method" for dinner...what is that?
Blessings,
Lori

I'm posting a plan today that I need to stick to and avoid stress eating. I am a bundle of nerves about my boyfriend's trip to California tommorrow morning and his drive back. I also have to drive him to Atlanta to the airport and then drive to North Carolina and work all day. Here's the plan for today:
Thursday: Breakfast: grapes Lunch: salad w/ protein of some sort Snack if necessary: grapes Dinner: plate method Snack if necessary: protein
Actuals: Breakfast: missed it Lunch: 1 serving pasta w/ spinach and mushrooms, grapes Dinner: nothing really, bad busy day Exercise: 60 min on treadmill
I was the the pool event last night and my friend ordered pizza as a thank you - I had already eaten and froze- was unable to tell her that as she was trying to be so kind. I know, I know, I could have handled this differently. I ended up with 1 slice. Today I am also feeling bloated and generally fat. Plan today: B: oatmeal mix S: strawberry banana smoothie L: veggie sandwich with leftovers D: large greek salad with no dressing and a small roll
I'm retaining water big time and am feeling yucky and bloated. I ate some extra popcorn yesterday and had sushi and think I OD'd on salt.
I want to leave for vacation tomorrow at my regular weight so I need to have a very clean day.
Exercise: 10k run this morning; hopefully pulling sleds this afternoon following my client sessions. If I can't get to the sleds, I'll be doing explosive, posterior chain exercises.
B: sourdough english muffin and cream cheese L: ww tortilla with hummus, tomatoes, onions; grapes S: 1/2 pbj D: baked chicken w/red potatoes and spinach; skinny cow
