    Oh, and I drink at least a gallon of water a day. Coffee in the morning and sometimes green tea.

    Didn't get my workout in :grumble: My 5 year old had been sick Fri. and Sat. was feeling better Sun. Before school Mon. I noticed he had a hive like rash on his torso and called the doc, well the nurse, and gave her all the details, sore throat, mostly gone, low fever, now gone, rash on torso??? She said it was probably dry skin, gave him Benadryl, rubbed on some Aveeno, sent him to school. Today, went to friends, told her about weekend, rash, she said, that's probably strep!!! It was!!! I'm mad at that nurse for not connecting the dots (no pun intended) about the sore throat and the rash! Sorry to vent...

    Snack
    1 hardboiled egg w/ salt
    1 c. green tea

    Lunch
    2 c. romaine salad w/ carrots, celery, cabbage
    2 oz. chicken
    1 T. sunflower seeds
    2 T. LF dressing

    Snack
    4 oz. chicken
    1 sweet potato
    1 c. green beans

    Ooooooh, and I just bought some "Flackers" (flaxseed crackers) at my coop, they're 100 cal. for 2 with 5-6 g. of both fiber and protien, savory flavor, can't wait to try them!

    Oh I hope he gets better soon!! It's probably scarlet fever - I had that when I was like 8? But I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on tv!!

    Yes, it sounds like strep or scarlet fever. My girls have had strep a LOT so I feel like I could diagnose it. :grumble: I hope he is feeling better soon!

    I just increased my base calories to 1320 because I want to see what happens. Even for my small height and size, 1200 sounds like starvation (although I almost never eat that little). If I don't lose or gain in a couple of weeks, I'll increase again. I'm curious!

    I have my baseline as 1,600 cals and then add in my exercise cals. I am 5'7" and have a lot of muscle so I just can't go below 1,500 even on rest days. I probably average around 1,800 most days. Good luck!!

    I'm feeling better today, more like my normal self. I think that TOM will come today. :tongue: I went to the gym and did 30 mins. on the elliptical and an upper body workout on the machines.

    Pre-workout cereal:
    1/4 c Grape Nuts
    1/4 c oatmeal
    1/2 c skim milk
    1/8 c egg whites
    1 cup water :drinker:

    At least 3 cups water during workout :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Post-workout buritto:
    Wheat tortilla
    1 whole egg
    1/4 c egg whites
    Spinach leaves
    Chopped onion
    Chopped green pepper
    1 tsp better butter
    1/5 c cottage cheese
    1 cup water :drinker:

    2 cups water since :drinker: :drinker:

    I have the eating part down, so now it's time to focus on the water. My lips have been dry and cracked for days, and my hair has been full of static lately. Six cups so far! :happy:

    1 c. green beans
    1/2 oz. dry roasted corn
    1/2 c. FF yogurt

    Snack
    4 dried apricots

    And I didn't get my workout in earlier, sick kid and all, so I went out last night and dug the end of our driveway out with a shovel, the hard-packed snow-plowed stuff, what a workout!!!

    I've been buying the Meijer brand organic ketchup (no HFCS) and it's really good! It's almost a bit more *tart* than Heinz, but my dh likes it better. (and my 7yo who seems to put ketchup on everything from eggs to macaroni & cheese! :huh: ) I love those Joseph's pitas and lavash breads too!
