Evoo, Hope you are feeling better. Posting for Tuesday- I think that my daughter will go to school as her fever broke and she had some toast an hour ago that is still with her. She is looking better. Here is my plan. Exercise- 45 minute walk, pushups and crunches Food- B- 2 c wheatties and skim milk S- 2 c red grapes L- have one more day of leftover pizza S- 60 calorie splenda "ice cream bar" D- Spinach, rice cheese bake and asparagus
Alright,I'm sticking to my plan but I just don't feel up to exercise today. I now have the same pollen allergy/sinus trouble that my daughter had over the weekend. I'm trying to drink water like crazy to stay hydrated. I think I'll turn in early tonight and get a good night's sleep and maybe it'll be better tommorrow. Here is my plan for Tuesday: Breakfast- Kashi Cranberry Sunshine cereal w/soymilk,1/2 banana,1/2 cup orange-pineapple-banana juice and coffee w/soymilk creamer and splenda. Lunch- Low-fat tuna salad sandwich on whole wheat bread,baby carrots and diet coke. Dinner- Homemade beef stew,broccoli florets w/2T. fat-free Italian dressing and fresh pineapple. Snacks- Laughing cow cheese wedge,serving of red.fat Wheat Thins.
Well, I didn't get my plan posted today, and my day is escaping me, so I'm going to post my journal page from Fitday.com...I made mine public too, for extra accountability. I will continue to post my plan here each day, and then will post what I ACTUALLY eat in there. Hopefully, they will line up
I don't have dinner in there yet, but I am making KD's City Fried Chicken using the red snapper that I have. (Per Denise's suggestion) Going to make some quinoa, and some white corn and edamame to go with it. I will also add some sauteed swiss chard to my plate. I am SORELY lacking in the vegetable department today.
Fresh fruit tart (individual sized) -- I only ate a few bites of crust, but the filling was great! Fresh kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. hit the spot!
Sunday: B- cinna-raisin crunch with sliced bananas S- yogurt with golean crunch (ended up being my lunch I ate it so late!) S-2 1/2 bags of snack mix I made (cheerios, pretzels and all fruit trail mix) D- 1/2 slice deep dish pizza, salad
Not a good day, eating-wise. Hardly any fruits or vegetables. I've really got to go shopping!
Plan for today:
B -CinnaRaisin Crunch with sliced bananas S -Yogurt with GoLean Crunch L - Vegetarian Rice Bowl S - small pretzels? D - Baked Salmon, salad and? S - Soy hot chocolate
Exercise: one of my exercise tapes from the library, not sure which one.
90 day goal: 4 days of cardio, 3 days of strength training each week.
Yesterday I did ok until dinner and then ate 2 handfuls of pretzels. MY daughter was running a fever of 104 and I was stressed and doing a lousy job of keeping my plan a priority. She is home from school today and I am still feeling a big appetite. (I think that eating out for 3 meals relly fueled my appetite as well.) My exercise will be cut down to stuff I can do while she is asleep- unsure what I'll accomplish. I will make tomorrow (a normal off day) my exercise day. Today's plan- B- protein bites, a c cran juice and hot tea with skim milk (Already ate in record time- UUGHH!) S- 2 c strawberries L- pizza- left over- safe and portion controlled. S- 1 c skim milk in hot tea. D- Salad with 1 c pasta and 2 oz cheese
Last night for dinner, I did a side by side taste test of NY Strips, Bison and Grass Fed Beef, both are much lower in fat than regular beef. The Bison steaks were wonderful! They had a very good flavor, and were so tender. The grass fed beef had a nice flavor, but were very, very chewy (there seemed to be a vein of grissle running through the middle of them.)
Anyway, just thought you might want to know.
I also made roasted veggies on the grill; summer squash, zuchini, mushrooms, onions and grape tomatoes, and new potatoes. I marinated them in balsamic vinagrette (and added some extra balsamic vinegar.) Those were delicious too.
Today: Coffee B- soy hot chocolate, cereal of some sort.
S- banana
L- leftovers
S- mini-carrots
S- popcorn
D- Buffalo grilled chicken breast sandwiches, salad.

We are really suffering from allergies here! The whole ranch is in bloom right now, and none of the 6 of us are feeling very well, so yesterday I didn't get in any of the exercise (except some of the house cleaning) that I had planned. I'm feeling horrible (allergy wise) today, and am staying home with Hannah (my 6 year old that suffers from asthma) this morning instead of going to church.
Stuck to my plan yesterday for the most part. Didn't get in all the fruit that I had planned (which for me is a good thing , it will balance out over the week. And had something different for lunch, but calorie wise, and food pyramid wise, it was about the same. AND I didn't feel like baking those cookies, so I didn't have cookies, and was TOTALLY fine with that! One FANTASTIC thing that I noticed yesterday, I can tell when I'm actually hungry again!
Here's today's plan:
SUnday: Exercise: day off
Snacks: ww pretzel sticks with pb carrots with salsa OR carrot and cabbage juice
Breakfast: 2 bites homemade biscuit and gravy 1/2 cup grapes 1 whole kiwifruit 1/2 cup raw oatmeal cooked in 1 cup skim milk with 1 T. chopped almonds, 3T chopped dates, and 1 tsp. real maple syrup
Lunch: ham sandwich on homemade whole wheat bread carrots salad or fruit
Dinner: italian chicken burger on french bread oven fries sauteed swiss chard and edamame
Dessert: (IF I STICK TO MY PLAN) 1 chocolate chip peanut butter cookie
Blessings,
Lori
