Moderate Clean Eating 2/5/06 (Superbowl Sunday)

[buffettgirl]

I slipped a little last night, and ate a little more chocolate thatn allowed, but managed to stop myself before too much damage was done. today:

B - steel cut oats w/ soy milk, raisins, cinnamon, fresh fruit salad
L - wrap w/ crab salad, brown rice and avacado
D - probably leftover chicken and rice from last night-everyone else will have pizza during the game
S - banana w/ PB

Today is a rest day for me. Hope everyone enjoys a nice relaxing Sunday.

Good morning Robin and all who follow!

Yesterday was okay. I went a bit overboard last night after dinner, but not too bad. I managed to avoid the Hershey's pb kisses

Today:

B - cereal with soy milk and banana
S - apple and WW crackers with cheese
L - going out for Mexican - I'll probably have a bean burrito or veggie fajitas
S - protein shake
D - vegetarian ratatouille Shepherd's Pie (recipe from Vegetarian Times) and, of course, a small piece of apple pie

Not sure of my workout yet. It will be legs and something. I was suposed to run but the weather is not conducive today. I also need to do core as I missed it yesterday.

Good morning ladies.

Yesterday we decided not to go to Macaroni Grill so I made shrimp lomein (lots of vegies) instead.
Keep in mind this is my "cheat/rest" day!

Today will be/has been:
B - 2 small pancakes and a chicken sausage
L - Turkey sandwich and apple
S - Protein shake
D - Since we didn't go last night we are going out tonight for pizza.
I usually keep it to a slice of cheese pizza and a salad.

No workout today other than cleaning the floors and that's a pretty good w/o.
I have just started Cathe recently and I did kickmax for the first time yesterday on the "low intesity" level. It was great! It was fun and I have definite DOMS! I can't wait to progress to the complete workout with the "bootcamp challenge"
part. Yipee!

Saturday evening meals are my 'cheat' meals for the week. I usually have had thin crust pizza w/Canadian Bacon and veggies; however, we met another couple for dinner at fine dining Italian restaurant. I really need to start writing down what I eat b/c I forget!!

B: hardboiled egg + V8 juice
L: turkey wrap + guacamole and celery + milk
S: nuts
D: Chicken Marsala + snap peas and only 1/3 of the garlic mashed potatoes. 1/2 turtle cheesecake and one chocolate chip cookie.

I have very little control after 3pm or so. Help!! What can I do? I'm also incredibly tired around this time 3-5pm. Any suggestions?

I'm starting to regret joining this thread as it is pointing out that I'm not eating enough and I'm making excuses for it. I've never been a big eater, not a bird picker, but I can go all day on just a egg sandwich for breakfast and never get hungry.

B-banana, tea
S-none
L-none
S-one slice wheat bread with peanut butter, tea again
D-fish baked in oven, peas and carrots steamed with garlic. Did have chocolate mousse for dessert.

No workout today as Sunday is always my rest day. No exception's. It's family day. Church/Sunday School in the morning and then we usually take the kids to the Y in the afternoon but today was Super Bowl so we stayed home.

Melanie, I was going to reply to you and forgot to in my post.

I would suggest a protein/fiber snack when that 3 pm attack comes on. Keep in mind that vegetables are lower calorie foods and high in fiber. I would suggest something like pea pods or cauliflower with a protein such as dairy (cheese, cottage cheese) or some meat (leftover chicken, beef etc.). I consider vegetables to be all-you-can-eat foods. With the exception of carrots since they are high in sugar. Also a handful of nuts is a good fiber source, just make sure they don't have added salt. And if you're still hungry after you eat your protein/fiber foods then have a pear, or some cherry tomatos, etc.

Protein and fiber take longer to digest so you feel full longer. But your proteins/fiber need to be nutritious too. You can eat three rice cakes and feel full but you're getting little nutrition. Fill up on vegetables, fresh or cooked, and with beans you get a double bonus of protein and fiber.

Oh and vegetable juices like V-8 are great too. Just read your labels and make sure your vegetable juice doesn't have added sugars.
