Kathy's Journey to Better Self Image (Comments Welcome

[keenercam]

Hi, Kathy! So great to see you posting (and thank you so much for visiting my journal!)

I really like reading your meal choices. You have given me some good ideas. I also struggle with getting my milk in. I think the glenny's soy crisps that I like may meet the WW calcium requirement if I eat a bag of them. I will check on that and let you know so that you might find another food that would help you meet your milk requirement.

I am so psyched that we will be doing the Minnie together. Really is something to look forward to -- just 3 months to go!

Being at a clients all morning caused me to miss my morning snack. His computer system was so slow it took me 3 hours to do the month end close out instead of the normal 2 to 2.5 hrs. He is up from Florida until March 1 and kept asking me how much longer I would be. He needs to go back soon before he drives everyone crazy.

I went home to get my phone and because I was starving, I ate half a take 5 candy ar on my way back to work. I should have grabbed something else but it was handy.

Lunch - turkey on wheat english muffin w/mustard, baby carrots, and cottage cheese

I am working on fnishing 60 oz of water. Will probably have another 16-32 oz before going home. I finally got smart and took my glass to the clients so I could keep to my schedule of at least 32 oz in the morning at work.

Probably should try to get some work done.

My food choices feel apart. I decided to go to the 6 pm group training class at the gym. It was run by the same person who I have my individual training sessions with. The class does a lot of core ball work and upper body strengthening. I was allowed to use 3 and 4 lb weights due to the dr restrictions.

Food since work - piece of montery jack jalepeno cheese, 2 biscuits, cottage cheese and yogurt. I also had a diet cherry pepsi after drinking 96 oz of water. I should not have had the biscuits but I couldn't think of anything else that sounded remotely interesting. I threw in the yogurt and cottage cheese to give it some sembelance of healthy.

We will see tomorrow what muscles weren't used in training for the half.

Eating today was so-so. I stopped at the store on the way to work to pick up some brownies to take in. The Wegs I went to wasn't laid out like my regular one so I didn't find the brownies and was forced to get 2 yogurts instead.

Breakfast - yogurt and Quaker breakfast square.
AM snack - banana
Lunch - chix chow mei fun
PM snack - 3 Hershey kisses, 3 mini York patties, 1/2 Take 5
Supper - chix chow mei fun (leftover from lunch), 2 biscuits.

Totals for today -
Calories 1657/2000
Carbs 257/250 gr
Fat 45/44 gr
Protein 61/150 gr

I really need to figure out how to get more protein in my diet. I hope to have time this weekend to plan a menu for next week and actually go get the groceries needed. Maybe that way I can stay within the guidelines set up by the nutritionist.

Exercise - none (am sore from last nights group training class). I emailed the instructor to let her know her goal was accomplished. I need to do the class more often. I used to do it twice per week until I started having so much trouble with the shoulder. I haven't been to the class in over a year.

Water - 96 oz.

Closed kitchen - 8 pm.

Stopped to pick up brownies to take into work. Looked at the nutrition info and decided to get molasses cookies instead. I couled eat 4 cookies for teh same calories as 2 brownies. i ended up eating 6 and left the rest at the office for the boss.

Breakfast - cottage cheese, 2 cookies
AM snack - 4 cookies
Lunch - cottage cheese, cheese, 2 biscuits.

Need to find something for supper which is high in protein and very low in fat. I maxed out my fat grams for today with the 2 biscuits.

Need to get some exercise in today also. Skipped yesterday because of screaming quads thanks to my trainier but it is a good sore.

Am going to put next weeks menu together to get off the high fat foods and get closer to a balanced meal plan.

Exercise for yeasterday was 45 min on TM and 15 min on bike. I used the extra 15 min as an excuse to watch a 2nd episode of The Pretender.

Food for the rest of the day was - 2 bowls of caramel corn for a snack and bag of 94% reduced fat popcorn, 20 oz bottle of diet cherry pepsi.
Water for yesterday was 64 oz. Total fluid was 84.

Today
Breakfast - 4 oz oj, 1/4 c 1% cottage cheese, 2 wheat waffles, 1 c 1% milk 6 salt free almonds

Food for the rest of today:
AM snack - yogurt, 1/2 banana
Lunch - caramel corn, almonds
Supper - chix breast, cottage cheese, asparagus

Water - 32 oz, soda 20 oz.

Tomorrow - I will be back on track for water. It is easier to consume while at work.

I found that by not journaling I gain weight. I have gained back 2 pounds by not drinking enough water and not eating the right foods. My exercise has remained consistent between the TM and the bike. Need to put some core in to complete the mix.

Breakfast - 2 toaster waffles and 3/4 cup lowfat yogurt.
Snack - cheese stick
Lunch - Biscuit, cottage cheese, carrots and low-fat ranch for dipping.

Water - working on 25 oz. started earlier.

Exercise - none so far, will get some cleaning snow off car.

Just checking in to see how you are doing also. I hope things are going okay for you. I read back a few pages and sounds like you were in a struggle mode. I hope you are doing okay and have gotten out of that. Seems to be a pattern with me too lately.

Take care
Keep on and
Chris
