Back to the bike today...34 minutes...(and then back to sleep LOL) Just had breakfast and bout to take LME out for a long walk.
Today's Menu:
b ww tortilla egg burrito with salsa, coffee
s green drink
l chicken salad with pear
s celery and salsa
d more chicken, more rice, more broccoli...with light shredded cheese
d dark choco with tea
HAGDE...hope your neck loosens up, beaky!
Sabine, last night...dark choco...NO pita chips. My vitamin guy is Andrew Lessman. He was selling dark choco last night on HSN. Rather pricey but you get your money back if you don't like it. Fair Trade, organic, 74% dark...I think maybe 6 grams a piece. Anyway, I caved and put in an order. I absolutely love this guy...vitamin wise. He took us on a tour on his pro caps lab in Henderson Nevada. Amazing.
Anyway, my thinking was ...hmm, maybe I can just have a couple of his chocolates with my tea and be good. Worth a try. Dessert has always been my struggle.0 -
Yesterday went well!
B : Fried eggs with veggies and smoked gouda. Coffee, almond milk and sf syrup.
L : Veggie soup with feta, some carrots and grape tomatoes.
D : Broiled fishies with cottage cheese, roasted broccoli, salad with homemade cilantro lime vinaigrette.
S : Mini Babybel, also snuck in a chunk of some delicious cheese I was using for an egg bake I was making.
Activity for the day: got in about 2.5 miles walking with the mini wiener dog early in the morning, then 40 minute karate class.
Side note...I don't believe in much for fat free/non fat things. If the cheese bounces, something's not right lol. Seriously, I once had a block of reduced fat cheese bounce! The only reason why we buy non fat plain yogurt is because it's cheap at Costco and full fat is way more expensive.
Today's plan...
B : Egg Bake I made yesterday topped with some sour cream and sriracha. Coffee, almond milk and sf syrup.
L : Veggie soup, probably some cheese in there and some raw veggies on the side (mainly to derail me from wanting crackers or bread lol)
D : Broiled fishies and cottage cheese (we usually eat this on the weekends since the husband is working and its super easy for me to whip up, even when I go back to work....hopefully soon). Roasted veggies, no salad since I used the rest of it up last night unless I make it to Costco today.
S : Not sure yet. Whatever suits my fancy at the time
Activities :
Not sure yet. No dog walk this morning, woke up with a stiff neck where I couldn't really move my head. Hoping to get out there at some point. Maybe shopping. I'm feeling a bit lazy, but I know I really should get moving.
I hear you on the low fat cheese. I buy ones that are naturally a bit lower. The only lower one i buy "on purpose" is part skim mozz. Yesterday's cheese was feta.
I like that you are adding your activity!
And again, I'm jealous of your fish.
Br: quest bar, tomato juice
sn: string cheese
Lu: brussels sprouts with a creamy siracha, and a nice arugula and beet salad
sn: none, saving up
di: girls night in: game night. I'll eat some olives, some dolmas, some of the snacks others bring (SB friendly) and have some chardonnay
de: making black bean brownies for the game night.
Activity: Yoga at 8am0 -

Tea and chocolates sounds delish!0 -
Pretty much stayed on plan today. I was very munchy, but kept it to veggies mainly.
S : ended up being some grape tomatoes, laughing cow cheese smeared on turkey slices.
L : I added some cream cheese and ham into my soup which turned out mighty tasty.
S : Made a concoction of sour cream, sriracha, and a dash of roasted garlic rice vinegar. So yummy as a dip! I dipped some carrots in and had a bunch of grape tomatoes too lol. I think I threw in a cheese stick in there too.
D : The usual fishies. Roasted broccoli.
Not really any activity today. Had kind of an emotionally exhausting day and for a while it took everything I had to even move.
Neck is loosening up! Slowly but surely. Will have to be for karate tomorrow!
Yea and chocolate sound yummy. I'm a big fan of dark chocolate....and loose leaf tea (husband and I were converted this past September on our honeymoon and now say we are tea snobs lol)
I love cheese that is pretty strong. The smelliest it is, the more I like it!0 -
I love smelly cheese. Do you know Wallace and Gromit? Animated shows. Look for it.
Today, final:
Br: quest bar, tomato juice.
sn: string cheese
Lu: brussels sprouts with a creamy siracha, and a nice arugula and beet salad
Di: gluten free pizza (two slices), a few tortilla chips, some queso. black bean brownie
de: chardonnay
Not bad for a party!0 -
Morning ladies...just having coffee and will hit the bike in a few...just going on five here.
Today's Plan:
b cheese quesadilla on ww tortilla, coffee (or egg burrito...depending on time) quesadilla I can eat in the car.
l canadian bacon sammy with lettuce and mustard, pomegranate arils.
s green drink celery and salsa
d spinach salad Used this recipe from Sweet Julia...just cut way back on the brown sugar but I did use some... http://www.cookingchanneltv.com/shows/sweet-julia/100/speedy-sweet.html Also, I used my own amounts to make the dressing suit my taste. I made this last night...oh goodness, so good. Like I said, I did use some brown sugar...but in the end, I used about 2 T drizzled over the entire salad. It was so good.

Sabine, I have heard of them and when I googled them they looked familiar. Ill have to watch some of the videos.
Just got done eating breakfast. Veggies with fried eggs, smoked gouda and some sriracha. Coffee, almond milk, sf syrup. Bringing oldest daughter into Dr, then off to the grocery store for our weekly shopping trip.
Activity:
A good brisk walk (about a 5k) with the husband early this morning. Karate tonight. Maybe another walk with 2 of the doggies later if there's time.
I'll post food later. Time to get my behind in gear.0 -

d spinach salad...maybe burgers on the bbq...not sure...depends on energy level
d tea and pita
HAGDE!0 -
Another good day down yesterday in the books!
B: Sauteed veggies with 2 fried eggs, coffee, almond milk and sf syrup (may want to include a V8 just because I know my veggie intake at breakfast is low).
L : Veggie Soup, delicious cheese (seriously, this stuff is amazing. Aged cheddar with herbs...got it at Costco), grape tomatoes.
S : Ended up eating an entire English cucumber lol. Some spicy avocado hummus. Tea with a bit of almond milk.
D : Guess....yup, broiled fishies with cottage cheese and a large salad lol. Actually, it was the easiest thing and we already had fish thawed out for husband and I. Kids were fend for themselves. We wanted quick and easy since we wanted to go to karate.
Activity : Besides the early morning 5K walk, we managed to get in another, plus a 40 minute karate class. Woo hoo!
I used to be extremely diligent about my calorie intake in relation to my daily activity calories burned. Had a fitbit, garmin (for running since the fitbit wasn't as accurate for activities because it didn't register heart rate). I always had at least a 15 percent deficient daily, weekly if I had a day over. It was borderline OCD. Really bad when I was running long distance. More activity, more food, right? It did keep my binge eating disorder under control, but it was causing a lot of other issues mentally. I didn't see it at the time though. This was over the course of almost 2 years. Now granted, I lost a lot of weight, was very healthy and fit, but my mental health was slowly spiraling out of control.
The purpose of this is that in the course of this spring and summer when I've been so confused on my mental health, my physical has gone down n. Little to no activity, binge eating, generally eating like crap.
So anyway, I've gone and figure out kind of a general idea of the amount of calories I'd like to eat daily while slowly increasing my activity. 1300 to 1500 seems like a good average. For my current height and weight that is.
Ramble ramble ramble lol.
Got in 2.5 miles brisk walk early this morning with mini wiener dog (Mr Kermit) and the husband.0 -

HAGDE!
Isn't it a great feeling when you get up and have your workout done early? I used to have to leave for work at 5:15 am, so I'd get up at 3:30 am to get a good run in, eat breakfast and shower. By the time I was ready, the husband was just getting up lol. We worked at the same place, same hours.

Yay for sleep! I don't like taking meds, but I'm of the mind that a little benadryl is better than losing a night of sleep.magic71755 wrote: »Just finished 35 on the bike. Life is amazing when I sleep. What a concept...sleep...it does a body good.
