Lately, my go to snacks have been a salad or tuna. I am a sahm so it is easy for me to eat whatever I have on hand.

You need something for work?

1. buy a big bag of nuts , pretzels, and raisins. Mix together portion sizes and add to snack size baggies. I do this for my husband. It is much cheaper this way, and you can control portions of each.

2. Fruits. Apples, oranges, and bananas which are easy to keep in the office all week, so you don't have to tote them everyday.

3. Yogurts.

4. Jerky and cheese. I prefer the beef sticks and cheese . FULL of sodium and who knows what but it sure is tasty.

I slept in but not enough and was short tempered all day. Then had pt and am having worse pain.
Tomorrow may be better but work wise it looks worse .

My favorite Greek yogurt is fage.
Noosa is tasty but more cals
Oikos is decent and more widely available

Finally a PB! In fact 2 PB's!

I have been struggling with my dumbbell bench for a while, stuck at 10kg as my gym doesn't have 11's and the 12's were too heavy. I swapped to using one arm at a time so I could use my free hand to guide the weight if required. Today, I managed 12kg (26.5lbs) 5 reps on the right and 3 on the left without using my free hand at all - hurrah! Might not seem that heavy to some but it is consistently my weakest lift so I was thrilled.

Also, managed to increase my supported rows to 14kg (31 lbs), very pleased as was only using up to 12's a month or so ago.

Off to Melbourne this weekend - going to the good food and wine show :-) Then placement for 2 weeks - that should be enough time for my shoulders/ elbow to rest up, they are still giving me the sh*ts.

Lift on in my absence ladies - have a great weekend xxx

It takes me so long to read through this thread, that I don't have time to post. I love it- you all are so supportive!

I start Basic Training III today. Should be fun- I've had a 5 day break. The long weekend trip has me all out of whack! My food hasn't great, I've had very little activity other than walking. I'll get back at it starting today!

Oh and I spoke too soon. My glutes are talking to me today, and they are NOT happy. But I kinda am

Getting excited about Tabata tells a story that tops the results of that spreadsheet any day!

Beeps, I live in Canada, about 45 min. east of Toronto, and have never ever seen Fage here I love the Kirkland (Costco) brand, followed by Oikos.

Walmart near me seeks a great high protein pita. It's 100 calories and 10g of protein so I have that almost daily as a snack with natural pb or hummus, or sometimes as my crust for homemade pizza.

I also eat lots of eggs (hard boiled shelled are great for a quick snack) and cottage cheese with berries and walnuts.

Beeps, I try to eat as much "real food" as I can, i.e. no bars or powders (sometimes I do, though). I eat for morning snack a chobani greek yogurt (my favorite! I like 2% fat flavors the best [key lime and strawberry bannana in my fridge now], but the 0% fat are good too, may fav of those is blueberry) For afternoon snack I try to eat a hard boiled egg and some veggeis. Sometimes some lunch meat as well. Not a fan of nuts, they dont keep me satified. Oh, also sometimes I pack 1cup of low fat chocoalte milk for just before lunch.

Hiya everyone! I slept like crap last night so I didn't do anything - no spin, no lift and honestly, I'm as sore I am having a hard time moving naturally! I knew I would be I just am always surprised how sore I get. I will get up tomorrow and lift.

I don't ever have protein issues unless I eat crappy. I am generally low carb so I have lots of calories for protein. I eat eggs nearly every day, chicken, canned fish for snacks, beef sticks, BACON, steak, fresh and fresh frozen fish, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and Quest protein bars. Actually like Beeps, the Quest bars are my snack of choice. They hit my sugar craving and give me at least 21 gms of protein - and they have some awesome new flavors - oreo cookies and crème, white chocolate raspberry, chocolate chunk, and choco chip cookie dough! I also like the new Pure Protein Greek yogurt style coated strawberry bars - with a whopping 31 gms of protein and of so yummy!!! RZ, I too like to eat as much real food, I only do shakes when I work out, but the bars are a great snack instead of ice cream or soda or whatever garbage junk I might sink to instead.

Mary, to get more protein you have to eat fewer carb things that you eat - drop half a slice of bread and add a hard boiled egg to start (or something like that) Don't do it all at once, just a little at a time.

Beeps the Costco Greek yogurt is a larger container but not THAT big! And for me Fage is the best. I'd actually prefer Brown Cow because it's all natural and no GMOs but it's hard to find - and as far as I've found, it's the only one that GMO free.

Yea JO on your PBs!!! Way to go! And enjoy your trip this weekend! I too am away - off to Maine through Monday.

Cowgirl, I know you'll be right back at it quickly!

Time for me to head home! Get it ladies!
