And I meant to zig zag this week but so far calorie wise I've done this:1452-1309-1481. That's not enough of a difference!! I don't regret the chocolate square though. Any comments are welcomed!!! I especially don't know if my nutritional breakdown looks good or what I should be trying to do there. especially because of the flax oil component.... jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I'll say it again <G> but I really do like this thread. Last night we had a big scare with my Dad. At 4:30 they called to tell me they rushed him to ER because they thought his anneurism was leaking. He had surgery 3 weeks ago (colon and spleen removed) and they found the anneurism but feel he is too ill to do the surgery and want the first scar to heal...so it's kind of ilke being on pins and needles. So my point of all this rambling, is that this thread really helped me refocus and get back on track...altho I did have a small cheat! Oh and it turns out it was a false alarm THANK GOODNESS....altho you know ER rooms, it took them 7 hours to do all the tests! WW pita, turkey, tomatoes Chicken, brown rice, tomatoes, artichoke hearts CC, yogurt, blueberries Turkey, apple **Mike's hard lemonade after I got the phone call....bad bad bad!! Zone bar and 1/2 cup of Post low carb cereal on the 1.5 hour trip there Zone bar and 1/2 cup of Post low carb cereal on the 1.5 hour trip back Cardio at lunch Bad things: Alcohol for 2 reasons: 1. I used it as a crutch and 2. It is definitely not on plan! Low carb cereal was an ok choice in a pinch but I'd like to be a bit more prepared in the future Good things: I really really really wanted a taco bell burrito and even knew 3 locations on the way home <G>...again a crutch, comfort food. But I stuck to my bar and my " franken-cereal " anyway. I was supposed to cook last night so today's menu will be ok but not great but still on plan. Goals for today: Have a meeting with the social worker to determine what the next steps are for my dad; I'm a little..not make that a lot irritated with the lack of communication and I'm NOT going to use that as an excuse to cheat today! Not gonna do it! I may switch my Saturday off day to today for workouts. Hubby and I need some us time to talk and get on the same wavelength on things.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Jojo, I think you are doing pretty well on your meal plan, even with the cappucino slip. I'm trying to zig zag my calories this time around, too, and have been practicing during this week between challenges. I don't want to make a whole second set of meals with larger portions just for this (what a pain!), so I'm handling my high calorie days (1600-1800 calories) by eating my regular 1200-1400 calorie meal plans, but adding two 200-220 calorie shakes during the day with my smaller mid-meals. Here's my plan for today with the extra shakes in parentheses: Nutrition: (1750 calorie high day) 1: Banana protein muffin (+ chocolate banana PB shake) 2: 3x1 veggie omelette and grapes 3: Stella bar (+ chocolate banana PB shake) 4: BFL pancakes with blueberries and SF syrup 5: Thai chicken salad 6: Cottage cheese and grapes Supplements: Multivitamin, Calcium 500+D, ~2 T. safflower oil (in shakes and used in cooking meal 5) =================================== Yesterday's plan and totals (8/25/04) Nutrition: (1200-1300 calorie Low day) 1: 3x1 veggie omelette with grapes 2: Triple berry salad 3: Cinnamon raisin walnut muffin 4: CC pancakes with blueberries and sugar-free syrup 5: Oatmeal tuna tossed salad with grapes 6: Cottage cheese and grapes Supplements: Multivitamin, Calcium 500+D Calories eaten and deficit for yesterday = 1262 / -414 (target -437) Ratios: 39% carb, 42% protein, 19% fat Water: 9 cups (I know...I was a little low) ===================== Maggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
