    Evening, Everyone,

    MFP and my doc set my calories for about 1250 everyday.

    Sample menu:

    Breakfast, almost every day of the week: old-fashioned Quaker Oatmeal, with 1 tsp of peanut butter stirred in. Tastes like desert for breakfast.

    Lunch--soup and/or salad. I also like fruit and yogurt.

    Dinner--salad, baked fish or chicken, lots of vegetables. And I always save room for a little desert, even if I go over my calories.

    It's Friday and it's weigh in day. I am at (drum roll, please) 150!!!

    This was my original goal when I started MFP back in April!! How I got here isn't story time material, but nonetheless, the weight is gone! Whoo hoo!

    I have been going back and forth about whether to add another 10# loss to my goal. Given that Thanksgiving and then Christmas are right around the corner, I'm going to amend my goals to just maintain my weight until January. If I can get through all the holiday parties without gaining weight, I will be far ahead of previous years.

    Everyone have a great weekend!

    No weight change this week. Thankful that I didn't gain. I didn't make great food choices this week. I did stay close to my calories most days and still worked out 4 days. Not expecting a loss this next week given that I will be out of town with family during the thanksgiving holidays but if I can maintain this week I will be happy. Still going to workout, of course. Good luck to everyone this next week and have a restful and yummy Thanksgiving.

    BW: 163
    CW: 138.5 (no change)
    GW: 125

    Blessings,
    Crystal

    I've been Mia for awhile, been busy sewing, I am determinded to get something listed in my Etsy shop before Christmas if it kills me!!
    Anyways, I have been staying away from the scale lately, I don't think I've checked my weight for 3 weeks? I started lifting as heavy as I can, so I know betwen water retention for muscle repair and actual muscle gain I'm sure I've put on some weight. My clothes fit nice, so that's what I'm focusing on for now.

    Topic of the week: What is your daily calorie intake target? Give an example of your food menu for one day.

    My daily goal is 1450, 30%carb, 30%protein, 40%fat. And I eat all my exercise calories back.
    Average daily menu:
    Post workout~
    1 scoop pure protein powder
    8oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk

    Breakfast~
    2 eggs scrambled
    1 1/2 cups tapinaki veggies with white sauce

    Lunch~
    3oz salad made with red leaf lettuces and baby spinach
    1 hard boiled egg
    1.5 oz deli ham
    1/3 cup shredded cheese
    2T newmans own olive oil & vinegar
    16oz crystal light

    Afternoon snack~
    1 scoop protein powder
    80z almond milk

    Dinner~
    4 oz Grilled chicken breast
    1 1/2 cups veggies (anything but corn)
    1/2 cup of a starch (might be rice, potatoes, or corn whatever the family wants)
    maybe a dinner roll or biscuit if my carbs have been really low.

    Desset~
    I usually don't eat dessert, but if I do it's always some kind of fruit. I love a grilled peach topped with ginger snap crumble!! Can't wait til peaches are in season again. OOoo, or fresh blueberries with coolwhip, yum!!!
