    Ok, my mommy friends..... I have a question for you.....

    What do you eat for lunch? I'm feeling kinda stalled out on what to have for lunch these days? I work part-time and I'm home part-time so I'd love to hear from all of you, whether you eat lunch at work or at home.

    Let's go girls, we can do this!!!

    I posted this early on the thread....

    I cook chicken breast sunday evening so I can have for lunch, may it be a wrap on a wheat tortilla-with salad, sandwich, the possiblitlies are endless. I wouldn't do frozen dinners TO MUCH SODIUM!
    other snack exp, which don't take to much 'time' but you do need to prepare to succeed :)
    berries with almonds
    string cheese
    avacado with corn chip/Kashi crackers
    Fiber one bars
    apple w/ natural peanut butter
    peanut butter by itself
    greek yogurt with honey or fruit (don't like it plain...yet)

    I have an issue with sodium- it just adds up and before I know it I'm over- I'm consciously trying though and I think that's helping- I think

    Awesome! I'm stoked to finally be wearing a pair of jean capris that haven't fit in at least 5 years! I knew I was keeping them around for good reason! The scale hasn't moved for me in over a week and a half. I'm hoping for something come Monday, but feeling good in smaller clothes is more of a reward than any number the scale could ever show!

    Sodium is a tough one sometimes. Just don't add salt to any of your foods. If you need more flavor add another spice or herb, but no salt. Also use fresh or frozen veggies (but check the packaging on those because especially the ones with sauces are high in sodium) or canned veggies with no salt added. Also look for low sodium meats. Those deli meats, sausages, and hot dogs are packed with it!! The more water you drink the more sodium you can flush out!!

    I just wanted to stop in and wish everyone a wonderful weekend. Try to stay eating healthy and active as much as practical:wink:
    Tomorrow is my cheat day, but I'll be with you guys in spirit:blushing:
    This mommy challenge definitely helps me to not "go crazy" over the weekend.

    I don't monitor my sodium intake at all - I've seen quite a few people post comments/blogs about that topic. Can anyone explain to me why we're supposed to be monitoring sodium??? And what is the number that you're supposed to stay at?

    For lunch, I usually have pre-packaged meals(pre-weighed&portioned) that we have already prepared on Sundays. Meals such as whole-wheat spaghetti w/ ground turkey breast, chicken alfredo w/ whole wheat linguine (I love Italian food), chilli w/ ground turkey breast and whole-wheat rotini.
    For snacks: Fiber One bars, Greek Yogurt (w/fruit on bottom), Fruits(apples, peaches, plums), Fiber One Cereal w/ F.F.milk

    It seems like a lot of people are having NSV's this week. Congrats!! Doesn't make sense to focus on the evil scale, if your clothes are fitting better. Keep up the hard work!

    I'll see you all Monday!!!

    Weighing in:
    Last week- 134
    This week- 134

    AGGG. . . . . I WILL NOT hit a plateau!!! I am working way to hard not to see results!!! I guess considering the stress filled not so great eating week I had maintaining is better than gaining- hoping for better next week!

    The USDA says to consume less than 2300 mg a day. I try to stay well below that if I can. Sodium causes your body to retain water which means you won't be seeing those numbers on the scale drop (and your body won't be flushing out all the bad stuff it should be). Also salty foods generally make you want more salty foods along with something to wash them down with (generally not something good like water either). Another thing I wasn't aware of that the USDA site mentioned is that your sodium intake directly affects your blood pressure. Less sodium = lower blood pressure.

    If you're tracking everything you eat in MFP, you can go back over the last few days/weeks even and look at your sodium levels.

    Well weighed in at 178 - gained 1 pound. I chalk it up to TOM; I'm feeling extremely bloated and miserable. Guess it could be worse so I'll take only a pound gain. Maybe I'll lose that much more next week!!! :happy:

    Checking in...

    6/6 - Out of town, no weigh in
    6/13 - 224

    Soooo, I gained two pounds. This is what I get for totally slacking off with my workouts when I was on vacation. Oh and eating way more then I should. I feel bummed but am not going to get discouraged. I just have to work harder. If this came easy, everyone would be a twig!
