Yay for resisting all that yummy stuff!

I have some changes to my meals for the day.

A.M. Snack - grapes and ww crackers with lf cheese

Shelly- what is the brand of your flax seed tortilla? I've never run across those. Haave you tried "Wrap-Itz" brand lo carb wraps. (They have 90 cal, 9 carb, 4 fiber and 5 protein grams) They are soft and tasty.

Well- appartenty I 'm still eating sweets! geez. I had cookies when I visited with my Dad. I falter once per day since getting back from vacation.

today-
b- HOB/ SM
s- cottage cheese/ apple
L- veggie/protein/ carb not sure yet

Hi all -

I distributed a bag of chocolates I was given to co-workers this morning. Therefore, I do NOT have any more candy in my house. So I can't eat it. Thank heavens.

B - PB toast with raisins. Again. I need to fix something else.
S - Banana
L - Pumpkin soup (leftovers)
S - LF Yogurt
D - Uh oh. I got out more spaghetti sauce to thaw this morning. I imagine I'll end up with one of those strange goulashes again.
 
Judy - I'm not sure what the brand is. It's like they're only available here though. We don't have Wrap-Itz here.
 
Goodmorning all. Yesterday I had MuscleMax on the agenda, I really like that workout. The band work for the triceps is just killer. Today I have Lowmax. I just got Turbo Jam cardio 2 so am tempted to do it today too...but must think of overtraining issues. Does anyone else want to do 3 workouts a day but you just have to stop yourself cause you know your knees will be killing you if you do?!

So many workouts...so little time!

Well I am finally starting to feel better myself. I went and got pizza last night (we live in the country) and I ate 3...count em' 3 slices myself! So the hardcore rotation must be kicking my appetite into gear finally. And I could have eaten another one easily but stopped myself from commiting gluttony.

Made DH a white cake with chocolate frosting for his Valentine's day birthday but since we all went in separate direction's last night, I'm saving the cake for tonight's dinner. Both were new recipes so I'm really anxious to try the cake and evaluate it. Have one child home sick yet today.

I have not planned meals/snacks today because my fridge is bare! As soon as DD wakes up we're heading to town. I so need to get to the chiropractor, ugh, my achin back.

B=oatmeal, tea.
 
Lots and lots of family-type stress going on in my life right now has kicked the clean eating right in the huge tushy. I wish I were the type who lost all appetite under stress, but, alas, I am the penultimate stress eater. I am trying, and I do appreciate this forum for all the wonderful support we give each other.

B - 2 slices oatmeal toast w/PB, fruit
L - PB&J on whole wheat, carrots, orange
D - Mandarin chicken salad at Wendy's

At least I have been able to keep up with the workouts, a great stess reducer. Don't know what I would do without Cathe. This afternoon, GS biceps and triceps and whatever cardio I have time to fit in before church this evening. I'm off the next 2 days, but will be thinking of all you clean folks.
 
Morning ladies. Well, I made it through the day yesterday without eating any chocolate. Whew. I actually had worked into my eating yesterday to allow myself two glasses of wine with dinner, but when dinner time came I was actually surprised that I was not in the mood for wine and just drank water instead.

Here are today's eats:

B - Post workout protein shake, Kashi Go Lean with fat free milk
S - 1/2 protein bar and cottage cheese
L - Left over spicy shrimp burger (really good new recipe I found) on whole wheat bun, apple
S - 1/2 Whole wheat pita, chipotle hummus
D - chicken, broccoli
S - Plain low fat yogurt with strawberries

Hope everyone has a great day!

I'd be happy to. It's actually a Rachel Ray recipe off the Food Network. I tweaked it a little for my taste (I will add my notes at the bottom):

Spicy Shrimp Burgers

1 pound raw peeled and deveined small shrimp
1 celery stalk with green, leafy tops, coarsely chopped
1/2 small to medium yellow skinned onion, coarsely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 clove garlic
A handful parsley leaves
1 tablespoon all-purpose seafood seasoning, found near fish department (recommended: Old Bay)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
1 lemon, zested
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
4 English muffins, sandwich size plain or sour dough flavor
1/4 cup mayonnaise or reduced fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup chili sauce or salsa or taco sauce
Butter or Boston lettuce leaves

Divide the shrimp in half. Put half the shrimp into a food processor and grind it up. Transfer the shrimp to a bowl using a rubber spatula. Add the whole shrimp to the bowl. Add celery, onion, bell pepper, garlic and parsley to the processor and pulse-grind it into a fine chop. Add the vegetable mixture to the shrimp. Add half a palm full of crab boil seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, lemon zest, salt and pepper to the bowl, to season. Stir the shrimp mixture to combine.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan in a slow stream. Use a large metal scoop to scoop 4 mounds of shrimp burger mixture into the pan. Gently pat down to form patties. Fry patties 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until they firm up and the shrimp turn whitish-pink.

Split and toast the sandwich size English muffins. Mix mayonnaise and chili sauce, salsa or taco sauce. Place burgers on muffin bottoms and top with lettuce. Slather the top of the muffins with sauce and set in place.

My notes:

-I only used 1 tsp of the seafood seasoning. It has plenty of flavor and I didn't want all the sodium. I also did not add any salt or pepper. It did not need it.
-I did not add the lemon zest (I don't like zest, so it's just my personal preference)
-I used the cayenne pepper not the tobasco
-Insead of adding whole shrimp to the pureed shrimp I chopped it up into chunks and added it to the pureed. Made the patties not so bulky.
-I broiled mine instead of pan frying to save the fat and calories of the oil. They turned out wonderful! I would recommend using a cookie sheet with aluminum foil because the juices will burn in the pan.
-I did not make the sauce (it did not need it) and ate it on a whole wheat bun last night and a whole wheat english muffin today for lunch.

Enjoy!

Katie
