It sure makes a difference when you have a plan for the day!
Without a plan, this is how my day went:
Breakfast:
Strawberry/ cottage cheese shake - still good, but it's getting old now - tomorrow will be different!
Off to bible study and had some tea and strawberries there. I felt really tired today and needed a little boost, so I had less that 1/4 of a raisin/cinnamon bagel - see - no plan! This messed me up a bit, but wanted to get right back on track.
Lunch:
Black bean, corn and rice mixture 1/3 cup of each) with salsa. It was just what I needed - I felt better and was ready to run my errands.
Got home at 3:30 and was famished - forgot my drops and had a cucumber with hummus, then had two melba toasts and eventually a whole tomato - NO PLAN!
Ran off to pick up/drop off the kids for sports - still no drops. ugh!
Came home, hungry again and had a coffee/cottage cheese shake. yum.
Grabbed two handfuls of goji berries - NO PLAN!
Just realized I hadn't taken my drops yet, so now I'm waiting 15 minutes while I type this out.
So, to avoid this problem with tomorrow's busy schedule - here is my plan for tomorrow:
Breakfast:
2 egg whites (34 cal) /brown rice (50 cal)/scallions/tomatoes/green pepper (20 cal)/low sodium soy sauce.
Lunch:
Big taco salad with tomatoes (40 cal), 3 oz of taco flavored ground beef (200 cal) , salsa and 1 T (15 cal) fat free cottage cheese
Dinner:
3 oz filet mignon (200 cal) , 1/2 potato (80 cal) with 1T cottage cheese (15 cal) , salt and pepper
grilled vegetables (80 cal) (frozen, prepared)
Snack:
peach shake: 1 peach, 1/3 cup cottage cheese, ice, water and vanilla extract
I'll make my brown rice now so breakfast will be easy.
Tomorrow is a higher calorie day, but I'm very low energy today, so I think I need a boost. I also need to make sure I don't become anemic.
Ground beef tip: after browning my ground beef, I always rinse it out well with hot water which makes any ground beef quite lean. This probably sounds gross, but I've done this for years and many people comment on how great and lean my lasagna is. Try it!
Gotta paint a room before I go to bed. That's all for now!
HI just checking in - I have to try the cottage cheese, sounds very good on the taco salad!
ReplyDeleteHi Gail. Thanks for commenting on my blog! I used the Daffodil Delight marker for the bird's beak and the black to draw a line for the wing. I'm on the 5th day of my diet & exercise plan today. I'm trying to cut portions and eat an apple or carrot if I'm hungry between meals and do a walking video every night. Promised myself a reward if I can keep it up for 3 weeks! Then maybe it will be a habit. Good luck.
