Exercise/Diet ROLL-CALL!

Breakfast- Oatmeal, coffee

Snack-Protein bar

Lunch-Salad with tuna, diet coke(empty calories, but I don't buy soda so I only drink it at work.)

Snack/Pre-workout-Protein shake

Dinner-This one is hard, not sure yet......I am pretty tired when this time, probably just chicken and veggies.

Workout- 3 miles treadmill and stairmaster combined and legs

OK, I'm in! I totally need this too! Here's my plan:

Eat 3 small meals plus 2 snacks a day (zone style). I have physical therapy 2 times a week (I had knee surgery in July). On the other 2 days during the week (not including Friday) I will ride my exercise bike 30 - 45 minutes and do upper body weights. Then on the weekends I will do at least one day of fun outdoor activities (does dress shopoing count?)

So here's what I've had today

Breakfast:

Large coffe w/ milk & splenda

eggwhites w/ onions, green peppers, cheese and salsa

1/2 a caramel cupcake (damnit! - my friend baked these and brought them into work... I must remain stronger in the future!)

Lunch

Tempeh and salad

Dinner:

Eggplant/tofu/goat cheese "sandwhich" (no bread - wrapped in lettuce)

Cantalope

Bites of dal (Indian soup w/ rice) that my FI made

Snack:

1 oz. goat cheese

3 pineapple chunks

Exercise: 30 minutes in bike

OK I'm officially NEVER eating AGAIN! Last night one of my patients asked me if I was pregnant! Now, I think that's just rude anyway (she actually was pretty rude in general, come to think of it...) and I'm wearing scrubs, but still- if someone thinks I look pregnant then I know something needs to be done! My coworkers all said she's crazy, but it's still a pretty hard blow hearing someone ask you "when are you due?", especially when they are the one that's pregnant! I seriously had a crazy night at work- I swear all pregnant women are nuts! Anywho, here's the diet tally for my last 24 hrs:

Breakfast (8am): egg beaters, one slice whole wheat toast, 4 pieces turkey bacon

Snack #1 (1pm): 3 pieces beef jerky, protein shake

Lunch (6pm): 2 snack size almond joy bars (glad those are gone now!), diet iced tea

Snack #2 (9pm): 2 small oatmeal cookies (they were homemade, couldn't resist)

Dinner (or whatever meal night shifters eat at midnight!): 1 grilled tilapia filet, 1/2 apple with 1 tbsp peanut butter, diet rock star energy drink

I usually have another snack at 4am, but was too busy so that's all.

I didn't work out because I just can't find the motivation to when I'm doing my first night shift in a row- it's trauma enough on my body to switch shifts...

Today will be better, but now I'm off to bed, talk to you girlies later this afternoon

Ok yesterday I had this to eat:

Breakfast: coffee & cinnamon streusel roll (man was it good but evil)

Lunch: Turkey & cheese sandwich with some chips and a coke

Dinner: Chicken creaser salad with two rolls

Workout:

Did a full body workout and I'm pretty sore today as a result of it..

Ok, so I didn't exercise again. I had a bad day! That's my excuse. I will today. I swear. Maybe.

Anyway, menu from yesterday.

Breakfast : Grape nut flakes

Lunch: Salad

-ham, tomato, carrot

Apple

Snack: Miniature special dark

Dinner: Pork chop

Salad

Half a potato

Snack: Hob Nob (cookie)

Plan: Today I will come home and run 2 miles.

I really don't want to start looking for dresses until I lose about 5, but I have been saying that for months.

Maybe I should go try some on. THat will probably kick me it the butt.

Have a great day!

Ok, I'm in. Did 1 and 1/2 hours of Bosu last night at the gym and am going in to do 1 hour of body sculpt and 1 hour of high/low tonight. I need to tone about 10 more pounds and have a year to do it. Unfortunately, I also have a box of Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches calling my name from my freezer. If I can hold out on those, I will be in good shape for today. Also, I weigh myself once a week (at the gym) and today's the day....

Just an FYI, when I was trying on dresses most of them came in a size 12 or another standard size. So no harm if you look now, you can wait to order and get measured if you want if you find "the" dress.

Kash- you are right. I have better perspective now that I've had some sleep. I was having a meltdown this morning! Yup, most pregnant women are crazy! I won't get too worried about it- it just hit me at a sensitive time I guess
