thank you!

I have this same problem. Late afternoon is the only time that I can workout. I don't eat my 'extra" calories pre-emptively because of what you said .. miscalculations and/or missing the workout. I will usually eat a larger dinner (same thing as planned, just a little more of it) and a snack later in the evening.

My favorite of the week is a low-calorie tortilla spread with 1T creamy peanut butter with 1/2 banana smashed on top of that. Roll it up...wrap it up...ready to eat. Yum!

sauteed with onion & spinach ... then scrambled with a few egg whites .... then topped with a smidge of feta .... toss that into a tortilla and you have an amazing tasting and incredibly filling breakfast!

Ok...here's what I've got for this weekend. Friday: Meeting a colleague @ First Watch for breakfast. My normal calorie consumption in the a.m. (breakfast & morning snack) is roughly 450, so that's what I'm shooting for. I think I can do it with an egg white omelet with turkey sausage, spinach, tomatoes and a dry english…

They have some lunch bags that have small ice paks you can use. Also...a wide mouth thermos could be used for hot or cold items. I think you have options....you just need some new "tools!"

AWESOME job Becka and Beth! I will do this again for the coming weekend. Thankfully I have only ONE "danger" event this coming weekend...the rest will be pretty easy. AND? It's suppose to be in the 50s and (i think) sunny on Saturday...I see a trip to the Zoo in our very near future..you know, along with every other family…

How about buying a small soft cooler? That will open up your options a little bit...lettuce salads, pasta salads, grain salads, veggies/dip, hummus, tortilla roll ups. None of these things need to be heated up.

I made this last night. YUM! I used regular old chicken thighs with the skin removed (myself). Baked them at 450 (because I was also making roasted potatoes at that temp) for 25 minutes. I turned them 1/2 way through and then a few minutes before pulling them from the oven, basted with the honey/cider mixture...waited a…

So.....how did everyone do this weekend? Did you stick to your plan? Did you LOG? Were you "aware" of your food choices? Did you get any extra exercise? I stuck to my plan for the most part. The big difference between this weekend and most others is that I LOGGED my foods. Oftentimes before eating. This is a really great…

So far so good! Ended up skipping the Fish Fry last night .. had Panera Chicken Noodle Soup, Whole Grain baguette for dinner and then some kettle corn while watching Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure with M. This morning I had yogurt, honey, granola w/ a smidge of dried cherries. Had a turkey sausage link on whole wheat…

Where DOES all that laundry come from? There are only two in my house...and it seems never-ending!

I love this thread! I'll look for you next week and start doing the daily review!

OK! Glad to see I'm not alone here! Friday -- business as usual for breakfast/lunch. Going to a Fish Fry for dinner. I debated this...went back and forth in my head on whether or not this was a wise decision. Landed on "its ok". I WILL choose the healthiest options there and figure out a way to make this meal within…

I ended up coming home from work early (well...really early, actually) to try and get some extra rest to kick this darn sinus-y stuff that I've had going on FOREVER! This might change my dinner plans, but I'm not sure. I started a Forum Topic called "Weekend Warriors" ... check it out! It's a place to write out a plan of…

Dinner tonight is not yet planned for me, either. We need to clear out the fridge so perhaps it's a leftover night. Maya has some leftover cheese ravioli I can heat up for her. I may need to pull a chicken breast out to cook on the Foreman again...that was really tasty with one of my new tastefully simple sauces "Bold and…

Darn it...I missed the party! I guess I'll have to start my own....I'm pretty frustrated today, too...but I have no right to be.

I'm here. I am so so so so so so SOOOOOO bored at work. I have plenty of work to do...I just don't want to do it! What's for dinner, everyone? I can't decide ... and we have to have something QUICK before gymnastics!

Happy Monday Knights! I'm looking forward to a GREAT on-plan day today. Food is planned and packed.....loads of good for me veggies/fruits going down the hatch today....work-out planned for this afternoon. It may be gloomy and rainy outside...but my spirit is shining! :flowerforyou:

Phenomenal! Congratulations on your success!

@BossFan2 ... I've heard of this "green smoothie" phenomenon going on lately. I cannot fathom putting spinach in my fruit smoothie but I'm becoming curious enough that I may just have to give it a try. What a great way to get some xtra nutrients in!

That sounds fantastic!

That looks delish! I have everything I need to make it at home this week!

I'm here...am I a Nee say-er? :happy:

Yo ya'll! Another CK refugee...loving the small community of like minded folks over here. Have a GREAT weekend. Happy Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year & President's Day! Michelle

This does so good. I have read that if you salt your eggplant after slicing it, and then lay that on paper towels for 30 minutes or so, it will wick out some of the extra moisture. I wonder if this might crisp up the outside more? How crispy was your eggplant?
