Thursday- Exercise- 45 minute walk- fast and will do crunches Food- B- 2 c wheatties/total mix and 2 percent milk S- 1 c oj (shopping at Whole foods and love the oj- this is now a special treat!) L- 1 1/2 cup veggie chili (beans and veggies and TVP) I am eating beans! Yea! S- hot tea with skim milk D- portobello mushrooms with pasta and ricotta- trying a new dish because the mushrooms looked great and were on clearance. May add apsaragus to meal. Eating 1/4 c cheese and 1/2 c ww pasta with loads of mushrooms and (?) asparagus. I am cutting back (for a month now) my grain at dinner.
dinner Wed night I ate: 1 chicken cordon bleu serving from the box, 1 baked potato with a smear of marg & sour cream and green beans and asparagus large serving. My dh who hates asparagus he now tells me ate it and we ate in the dining room (big night) for us. The green beans & asparagus I sautee with a bit of evoo and garlic then after it has cooked a bit I add lemon zest with my microplaner and then add the juice of one lemon and it is really delicious. Somewhat of a variation of KD's green beans with parmesan I think, that is what I looked at anyway when I started doing it a while back.
I also had a Klondike Bar 280- calories and while I was cooking a small sliver of my grandma's easter pie made with all those eggs, cheese and other things I can't remember.
Exercise: Ran around my house and 100 crunches Not very much cardio going on there. Really need to make a point to do it again, but last night dh wanted to spend time and we did spend some super quality time together.
Maybe it will stay nice today andI can actually get in an outside walk before dinner.
Thurs. Plan: B: 1 mini bagel w/crm chs. small amt. and a banana L: honeydew melon and a small container of leftover chicken soup. D: Leftover chicken soup again, it has extra veggies and came out really good so I don't mind at all and I may make dh a griled chs and maybe a 1/2 one for myself.
Ok wed. did not fare quite as planned, but I wasn't too far off on my exchanges, until I had a piece of pie. I forgot I had ordered one from someone in the neighborhood. It came just as I was popping dinner in the oven. DH wanted one for desset. I couldn't say no, we only eat one meal a week together, so i baked it. It was very disappointing though so I won't have to worry about the leftovers, he can eat them.
Tomorrow's plan:
B - 1/2 cup raisin almond cerial with milk and blueberries L - tuna sandwich and grape tomoatoes D - Baked Beans, veggie sub S - apple, warm milk, celery and PB

Exercise: 100 crunches and walked all over as far as I could, no structured cardio
I just got done making dinner, roast, potatoes, corn, carrots, onions, all in my crock pot. I love it! Later I will drain off the fat that comes out of the meat, use my beef broth from last time, and make a lite sauce for the meat. We got our veg in, and fruit salad will complete the meal. Wednesdays are easy cookin' days...I think we deserve to do that once a week for ourselves.
It's never too late to get it right.

I haven't posted my plan in a few days, here is wednesdays
B - 1/2 cup raisin almond cerial L- tuna sandwich and celery sticks D - Pork chops, apples, broccoli, cauliflower, beets and mashed potatoes. S - slice toast with allfruit spread, warm milk and a littledebbie angelfood cake
Dh came home with the little debbies, the angelfood cakes aren't as bad as most with 130 cal and .5 fat, so I worked it in as a treat for myself. I managed to go to 2 different buffets in the last 2 days and did really well. 1 plate of salad each day with just a little dressing. One trip up for real food with at least 1/2 plate being veggies and small desserts. I won't even mention what a trip to a buffet used to be.
