Healthy Eating/BFL Check-in, Friday, March 4

[shopgirl]

Good morning,

5:45 PLB, plus LL abs

B - 16 oz 1% milk w/Carnation Instant Breakfast, eggo waffle, coffee
S - banana
L - tuna on wheat, apple, 2 fig newtons
S - yogurt
D - quiche, spinach

Well today marks the end of my 2 week experiment of adding more calcium to my diet. Every morning I've had a huge glass of milk with 2 TBSP of Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed in, and then another every night. I weighed in this morning and am down 2 pounds; now only 3 away from goal weight. Nothing else in the diet has changed. I still have my cheat day (and moments ;-)), and I still workout to Cathe 6 days a week. Only difference has been the addition of the milk (about 32 oz total per day). I'll try it for another couple of weeks and see if it continues.

Have a good day everybody.

Hey, Shopgirl, maybe that thing about calcium increasing your metabolism is true! But does having milk at night make you feel bloated?

Today will be a run and S&H Triceps.

1 - granola, skim milk
2 - chicken, pear
3 - protein shake
4 - ?
5 - ? probably going out

This isn't good, not being prepared about my meals. Plus, I've been having a bowl of granola and milk at night lately, so I feel really bloated. Gotta cut that out. Night time eating is my worst!

Have a good day and weekend!

Hi Elaine,

Nope, no bloating. I drink it at least an hour before bedtime, so it's not just sitting there. I think the Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed in helps too. Nighttime eating is tough for me too, because usually I'm hungry but I don't know what I want - and that's where I get into trouble. If I have the milk, it kills the craving.

Have a good one.

Shopgirl: WOW, that is great!!!

Today's eats:
Extra lean turkey bacon, string cheese, oats
Turkey meatloaf, mashed potatoes
Chicken, mashed potatoes
Couscous patties
Eggs, potato patties (made too many mashed potatoes!)

Not sure if I am working out tonight. If so, HIIT. I'm getting a cold and my PF is acting up from not being able to do non-impact cardio this week But I'm stuck at home for the next two weeks so hopefully some ice will help get me back on track.
