...the rest of Wednesday: s-too multi-grain pretzels. We had a very late dinner out that I hadn't planned on. d-out to a buffet. I had salmon, cooked carrots, a cup of chicken noodle soup, 2 small hot wings and for dessert fat free frozen yogurt w/a little cherry cobbler.
exercise: walked 2 laps around the park
90 day goal: 4 days of cardio, 3 days of strength training each week.
What WAS for dinner was an original Tony Packo's Hungarian hot dog and an order of stuffed cabbage.
I'll walk it off tomorrow showing my friends from Urbana the Toledo Museum of Art - this is my way of checking in and letting you know that I haven't dropped off the face of the globe.
We had a picnic lunch at the side of the road outside Bowling Green - lots of salad!
Wednesday actuals were not what I had planned but still healthy with no extra bites or snacking which was a feat later in the day as I was pretty stressed out after band. Exercise: cardio only today - 300 floors on the stair master because I'm pulling sleds in the morning and didn't want to do it back to back days B: 2 eggs, 2 slices of turkey bacon L: ww tortilla with hummus, sprouts and zucchini; ww pretzels, 1 cup of mixed fruit D: pierogi and veggies; skinny cow
Thursday plan: Exercise: extreme class first thing in the am (sled pulling which I was told today would be taken to the "next level" whatever that means ; ), teaching 2 step/toning classes and hopefully some stability work as well. I'm spending the day at work from 6:30 - 3:30 so there will be lots of opportunity for extra exercise. B: pbj on ww bread after sled pulling L: may be out with the team in which case I'll make the best choice possible or I will run to get sushi S: ww english muffin with cream cheese D: pork tenderloin, spinach and wild rice; skinny cow

You might want to just stick with the rice for dinner tonight. I'm just speaking for myself, but beans would not sit well if I had the stomach flu!!!
Hope you feel better soon. And hey, congratulations on the 2 inches lost!
Smiles. Great minds think alike. My mother suggested gingerale first thing this morning. I had some with lunch, and must admit that I am feeling better. Thanks so much.
I had a mock-muffin for breakfast...loved it. On a ww eng muffin, egg whites, one piece of smoked ham and light cheese slice. so so good.
I have a question. I have a big container of organic spinach..and have NO clue how to use it other than salad...which is most times boring. Any ideas?? I just want something flavorful.
