plan is for the pool tonight :-)
Breakfast:piece of banana 30, roll with one egg 200, avocado 80, yogurt with pumpkin 210: 520, good. hopefully it'll fill me up for most of the morning?
snack: decaf coffee (want to pick it up from DD...) and bar...
lunch: chicken, roll, butternut squash
total around 2350...too high, but all very healthy. getting fat bc i am not burning as much as i'm eating & it's finally catching up.
Progress as of today: -2 lbs lost so far, only 9 lbs to go!
Good Morning! Slept really well last night. Maybe 9 hours :-D Woke up feeling sore from just running errands!?, but relaxed!
7am or so Big breakfast: sautéed veggies 250?, cereal with almond milk 230 or so, natural chocolate coated vegan bar (in the place of pie or cake!) 320: 800 satisfying calories.
11am/11:30 snack before gym for upper body weights (probably pool tomorrow or just abs/legs depending how I feel): tons of canned pumpkin (around a cup) 100 with a lot of stevia in a 2% fage greek yogurt 150: total is a healthy, around 2 cups worth: 250 cal! rock on! tell me you can find a yogurt dish, 2 cups, for only 250 cal!
snack: iced decaf with extra milk 100
snack: protein shake 150
early meal: roasted veggies galore 200, 200, 100
total around 2300.
....now to get my booty to the GYM! then, one errand to return a moden (bought a DSL wireless router/modem and didn't realize that time warner cable only uses CABLE modems...duh!?...maybe I should do more checking next time!) I really do not want to do more than this one errand, so I won't! maybe just pick up more food for the week :) after that, I am coming home, sorting through all the health bills I can submit for reimbursement - should add up to around $150, I think! that is some good pocket change to have!
I stupidly threw out a 40% old navy discount card (only to be received through snail mail not online) and made a $150.- purchase at the store yesterday without that good discount....could have saved around $60.- NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL with using all discounts and saving them if i'm NOT SURE I will use them! Learning from that mistake, for sure. :-/

EXERCISE: 20 min pool - good considering it's only the second time I've went since re-joining at the end of October! It felt SOOOO good to do some cardio. I left early bc I didn't want to overuse my legs or body. Sometimes we need to have exercise, yes, but less is more...if you know what I mean. Especially for me, since I have a tendency to overdo things.

Am thinking the pool, but after this nice meal, I will wait before doing anything. maybe i'll just stay home, we'll see.

Saw your comment to oRaven--he's a guy:-)
RYC: Our normal high is around 60F and the low is abt 40F for this time of year--so this is a little unusual for early December. I totally hear you on the eating when confined--glad I don't have a big box of candy and a block of cheese:-)
b & snacks - 800
lunch: veggies 150, chicken 100, chips 150: 400 or so - good. and some good laughs with 2 coworkers, finally :-D
1200, excellent. planning on upper body weights at the gym.
4pm crackers: 110 or so.
preworkout: diet dr pepper, 3/4 of bottle & during start of workout (was absolutely too tired to work out) and whole pint of very roasted brussel sprouts! so good, from nearby key food! 200.
post workout: shake 200?, then gave in around 9pm and had some of the food I bought - some oil - pakastani eggplant (in some oil) and okra (seasoned sooooo good...and some oil on that as well) maybe around 250 at most for the veggies here. so, 450, (still decent considering pre-workout "dinner" was 200)
total: around 1950, ahhh, nice. this is a very good total. very happy with this. and if I stuck to this, I could lose a pound a month! LOL. for me to lose weight, it's gotta be REALLY slowly - or it backfires and I gain. so, will try to do better this month - as long as I have cooked veggies always available when I am home in my apartment, I am good. LOL. (this means me cooking or making sure I stop by the store when I don't cook - which is too often!)

Breakfast 2% yogurt 150, bread 150, egg 70, butternut squash soufflé 60: around 450 :)
lately blood sugar is all over the place, feeling hungry all morning more than usual, and I've gained some weight. gonna have to work harder, like i said, this month, to lose 5 lbs till February...hopefully can lose 10 lbs overall, but that is like a year-long goal. would love to weigh even 120 again. i would say i am 127-128 now.
feeling really bad, really tired, really really tired. not sure my legs will ever get better. they hurt, i'm exhausted.
around 2250...and satisfied.
dessert after dinner with a small whole wheat roll with pb & jelly and banana. good way to end the night!
physical therapist said time to take some time off again & let's see if the legs fully heal.
shower & early to bed.

1300 - great!!! :) I've already gotten in all my veggie servings and it's only noon. I will be having dinner with my best friend tonight...and will be sure to order more veggies :)
the plan is upper body weights at the gym in a little bit, followed by a protein shake :). then, if I want fruit or another snack...and dinner with Christine.
no extra walking today - was on my feet more often yesterday and i'm not in the mood to overdo it & destroy the progress I am making in healing these shin splints. believe me, I would like to be walking outside with headphones, listening to the radio instead of sitting here like a lump. at least i'm catching up on bills & getting used to my new phone!
around 2000 cal! :) around 2100 cal (100 cal snack around 1am)
Breakfast: leftover canned pumpkin/stevia and some sautéed veggies 100?, special k 160, fiber one 120, almond milk 30, peanut butter on small roll 250: 660. ok.
snack: bar and almond milk. 200
total: around 2000-2200. good!
exercise: 40 min abs, 20 min upper legs, some walking doing daily activities & a bit of standing at the phone store. legs were doing surprisingly better, but still hurt a lil bit.
I ate *tons* of veggies today. Seems I really like to do this lately - binge on veggies & not gain wait but still get that feeling that I almost like after a binge when all I want to do is relax....I know this sounds weird, but for some reason, this is what I've liked & wanted lately.

The breakfast I've found that sticks with me the longest is porridge/oatmeal with dried fruits added. Have a great day!
OhioRaven on 12/09/2013:
Annie's right about the oatmeal. There is a lot in my morning breakfast soup every day or I'd be hungry WAY before lunch. Have a hood day, Hop.
skinnygrlwithin on 12/09/2013:
Ditto annie and ohio... I add a little peanut butter and honey to mine and I'm always full until lunch.
biscottibody59 on 12/09/2013:
Enjoy your evening!
horn_of_plenty on 12/09/2013:
I will have to work on having oatmeal again for breakfast I think! around 2350 cal today - a bit high, but lots of healthy items all day - much better in terms of healthy choices.
