Snacks: applesauce bread, 1/2 slice banana bread, saltines, fruit babyfood
Dinner: homemade pizza yum! (see below) , half a bagel w/ garlic margarine

errands = -98

I ended up not trying the yoga today after all... I barely slept last night (panic attacks, sigh) and just wasn't up to it today. Now it's the weekend so I won't give it a try until Sunday at the very earliest. OK, take it easy and let us know how it goes.

Shell - your meatloaf, crumbled up, makes a fantastic topping for pizza, btw. I had "meatball" and onion pizza tonight for the first time in years, woohoo! OMG.... what a wonderful idea!! Now I know what to do with that single peice that we always have left... I eat one, Shane eats two , and the fourth tends to end up in the trash cuz there is not enough for both of us left for another meal.... oh, i'm excited now... that would be great on pita pizzas!!

thanks for your concern Shell- as I posted this AM- she's doing much better then I expected today... I just saw she is out of ICU...that is great!!

as far as other things:

ont he food side- since then I've had 2 black bean burgers on bread slices- one at my first bread and one at lunch.. and during the course of the day have eaten abut another half a peppermint fudge mini cake (1 recipe=6 mini cakes!) I was gonna ask you about that... do you use mini loaf pans or mini bunt pans? How long did you cook them for?

Still have dinner to go and no idea what I'll eat for that.

DH cooked dinner.. pasta with chicken in a tomato-ish sauce.. it wasn't very tomatoey, but flavorful and yummy... good hubby!!

and I got asked to put another pot of pulled chicken on for shabbos, so just put that together... I wonder if I'll have any left though this time- we are having company then... I'm making the pulled chicken on Sat!!

Hi guys,
Was NOT good today... sorry sweetie
Had 3/4 Luna bar for breakfast w/applesauce and I had sushi for dinner but everything in the middle did not go as well! I had about 600 calories UFO! oops! And gingerale (121 calories!) and just very bad today - no exercise 'cause I was busy all day. I should do some now but I've had bad D all day and bad stomach ache and I just feel exhausted. Take it easy... tomorrow is a new day! {{hugs}}
Bad Stephanie!

OK... here is my reporting in......
My BMR = 2408 + I burned 405 calories 60 minute Weight Resistance Training - 1246 less calories to get to my goal = 1612 calorie food budget .

REP REEBOK - Weight Resistance Training
Periodized group training utilizing barbells & dumbells. Class rotates monthly between strength, power and endurance formats, providing the changes you need to avoid plateaus and maximize results. Sounds like a good work out. It really is... I've gotten a GREAT workout ALL week.. I saw a thing on TV about kick boxing and thought of you. This may be a silly question but what do you kick? The girl behind me if she does not stop invading my space!! LOL No, really....just the air.... front push kicks, round house, side and back kicks... it is SO much fun!! I can't wait until Monday for the next class. I'm really concidering taking a STEP class for the first time on Sat... I've been putting it off because I did not think I was strong enough in my legs to handle all my weight...but now I'm both lighter and stronger that I think I'm gonna give it a go... then if I don't make it the whole hour...and REP REEBOK - Weight Resistance Training class will follow it.

Breakfast: 170 calories Toasted Nuts N' Cranberry & Water

Lunch : 465 (READ: Shell and your Subway Tuna )calories Subway Sandwich (6" White bread w/Tuna, Easy Lettuce, & Pickle) & Water How dare them, changing a good thing. I KNOW...drives me crazy!! No more tuna for you? Nope... well, even if I could efford the extra 168 or 186 I forget calories in my food budget for any given day...I still don't want the regular mayo!!.....

Snacks during the day: 120 calories 1oz Rice Sembei Snacks - Tamari (soy sauce) & Water Never heard of these..yes they are GF but not Soy free..darn. I know...I always think of you when I find something new is hopes that it will fit all the criteria of YOUR diet...but it really is hard. That's ok, I'm on a Mochi kick right now. I still have not tried this yet... tell me more about it....how do you serve it? What? No more JB's? I had some last week....a whole box of valentine conversational ones...hehehe I just finshed up the gummy hearts, so I might get some JB's next?

While Working Out: 7 calories 2 Altoids & Water

Dinner: 564 calories Mashed Potatoes, BAKED - Buffalo Chicken Fingers, 1/2 Tablespoon BBQ Sauce for dipping & Water

Fiber Pills: 2.25 calories total

Without any more snacks at all....(subject to change) = 1328.25 calories

Total Water intake = 96oz SO FAR (it's only 10pm here and I still will have my UFO, so I'm sure I will hit my 136oz goal)

I WILL have UFO w/more water. That WILL added 250 calories for a total of 1578.25. Still in my food budget!! You're still doing great Shell, but frankly, I DON'T know how you keep up the steady pace. I don't either!! LOL I'm eating like Miss Piggy one day, and a sparrow the next. I wish I had your stick-to-itness. So do a lot of others here I'm sure! I'm still one of your biggest fans..........You are amazing!! Thanks... but keep that cane handy...ya never know when I will need a good swat!! LOL

I have mini loaf pans, but I normally use mini bundts I love them and they look so fancy when taken places.. I do that or muffins.. normally takes about 25 minutes to cook the bundts... I start checking at 20 though just in case... also- sometimes I make 3 and 6 muffins in a small muffin tin, so I have to pull those out a bit sooner... Thanks!! I was thinking too that the mini muffins (bite size) would be great for snacks... do they seem to be dryer then the mini loafs?
