Good morning mein friends
Last night's dinner turned out to be a concoction on kidney beans, tomatos and onions on brown rice
Today's plan is:
B-cereal with soy milk, banana
L-chicken rice soup, half turkey sandwich, carrots, tomatos, apple
S-fruit
D-chicken breast cooked with sauce of Catalina dressing, apricot jam and onion soup mix (New recipe that sounded good -hope it is), rice pilaf (made the Armenia way taught by my grandmother) and steamed brocali (sp?)
One small piece of chocolate
Lots of water, about 4-5 cups of coffee, and probably 2 glasses of wine with dinner
See you all later. I will probably post my weekend plans later, since if won't be near a computer and want to remain "good."

Fridays are dangerous for me - way too easy to say "yay! Friday! pizza!" I'm gonna stick to the plan though. Read a book (Schwarzbein Principle) last night about how important it is to get enough protein and fats to maintain metabolic health - so more protein it is.
B - Hot oat bran with whey protein
S - Apple + PB
L - Curried lentil soup
S - Baked pumpkin a la Cathe Cookbook. My skin is turning orange from all the Vitamin A/beta carotene!!
D - ?? Maybe a fish stew if I can muster up the energy to cook, otherwise...?? Probably popcorn (popped oil free in Microwave popper w/ 1 tbs. olivio spread)
+ an estimated 72 cups of coffee and 28 cups of sugar free hot chocolate to keep me awake/warm/sweet tooth satisfied

Okay, I've been really proud of myself because I've had a busy week with lots of running around and eating on the go, yet I've managed to keep it pretty clean...until last night--(fooky!). I had to pick DH up from work and we stopped at a new restaurant for dinner. I had a great salad of greens with red onions and ornage slices and a light citrus dressing, followed by a (and this is where it goes downhill) pasta entree. It wasn't that bad, it's just that it was a lot of pasta. It was served with a light tomato sauce and chunks of grilled chicken. I didn't quite finish it. I really screwed up though and ordered a dessert that my hubby and I split. It was a warm chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge sauce.:9 x(
So, I present myself to you for flogging.
I haven't planned my meals for today yet. Again, I'll be running around and eating out, but I swear I'll keep it clean.;-)

Robin -
Nope. I drink about 72 oz. of water (literally this time!) at work during the day and about as much during my work outs.
I should own toilet paper stock.
There's a woman at the office who calls me her "bathroom buddy" because she thinks it's a coincidence that we run into each other in the bathroom all the time. I don't have the heart to tell her it's actually because I'm in there every 5 minutes!

Hi Sarah,
I thought it was a very easy read. A lot easier than many of the other books I've read on insulin and metabolism. It helps explain the carbohydrate/insulin/fat connection and goes on to explain other hormone/weight relationships.
The book has helped me understand why it's so tough for me to lose weight why I have no energy. In a nutshell I messed up my metabolism and hormone balance thanks to years of very low calorie dieting, anti-depressants (namely prozac), too little protein and too many carbs.
She makes a lot of sense, and for the first time in a long time I feel like there's hope that I can lose the weight, increase my energy level, and fight PMS without prozac.
Let me know what you think after reading it. BTW, the last 1/2 is recipes etc., so it's also a quick read.

Joni, I'll join you at the bathroom!
Michelle, Hope you enjoyed that yummy desset. Consider it a carboloading day and don't beat yourself up.
Here's hoping for the weekend:
B-cereal w/ soy milk or 2 slices whole wheat toast w/ PB & J, banana
L-left over rice and bean thing
D Sat - chili, salad, 1 slice bread or cornbread - maybe a small piece of apple pie if I make one for DH, with miniscule scoop of ice cream
D Sun- Hummmm. Too far away to think
S - fruit
one small piece of chocolate each day (unless I have pie)
Today was a rest day for me. Sat I plan on one of the IMAX's and Sun will be ME.
See you here Mon AM.
