I *HATE* beer - green or otherwise! LOL... I'm safe there too!

But speaking of UFO's, I did almost decide to make corned beef and cabbage for dinner... it's one of my all-time favorite meals, seriously. But now I've decided I'm too lazy to go to the store and buy the stuff, so I'm safe. about an hour ago...I was thinking the same thing...but then realized that was NOT smart.... and was proud of myself! hehehe

I have NEVER had green beer!!- its a foreign thing- I have never seen it over here on St Patrick's Day only in France (that's the only country other than Ireland I have ever been for the day itself)

I have also NEVER had cornbeef and cabbage! I have had cornbeef cold in sandwiches but dont know anyone who has it for dinner! We have boiled bacon (a joint of it) with cabbage and turnip and mashed potato and white sauce...yummmeee! LOL There was a movie where Brad Pitt played an Irish guy that came here and the family made him corned beef and cabbage and he didn't know what it was and it was kind of jokey.

I didn't do anything festive today, used it as a recovery day with P. We went for a lovely long walk by the beach as it was a gloriously mild and sunny day and we had good chats about the weddding etc..anyway...


My unfestive report:

Breakfast: Rice Krispies with soy chocolate milk
hmm that always sounds better than it tastes.
Lunch: Wrap with Tuna, RF mayo, sweetcorn, tomato

Dinner: Prawn Stirfy with corn, spinach, peppers, beansprouts, bamboo shoots and mushroom onion brown rice a very big helping
I am always impressed by your dinners. they sound so fancy.
Dessert: Some Babyfood fruit compote

Snacks Some freshly squeezed orange juice after our long walk
Luna Bar
Water: 95 oz so far (my goal is 70)

Activites: LOTS today- we walked about 3 miles by the beach, I ironed for an hour and hoovered for 15 minutes.
Calories burned through activities: 318

TOTAL CALORIES CONSUMED: 1808

BMR 2320 plus 318 activities= 2638. I consumed 1808 calories so have a surplus of 830

Health update: I am going back to work tomorrow! I have 5 more antibs to take but I am soo much better!

Finally, I am so proud of myself today as my eating choices have given me my best results ever on the nutritional info report on fitday..the only one I haven't made my RDA on today is Calcium and I still got 92% RDA(I KNOW this is important so I am going to get a supplement)
Yay!

Next week will be a LOT different as I go back to work properly though...be strong Sinéad....be strong...

LOL Tamara- I just have been eating whats in the freezer and fridge- have you noticed that there have been peppers, mushrooms and spinach in nearly every meal? I have been trying to get veggies into me and its been workig, nothing fancy though, and no recipes usually, I just throw whatever I have into a wok or pan and work away! Anything with prawns and peppers is ALWAYS a hit with me

How is your back? I had back spasm once and it was horrendous. I got some exercises to do to help it, I can try to describe them if you don't have any- they are all about stretching out the spine.

Snacks: honeycomb, banana, lemon cake, junior mints
Dinner: lemongrass-ginger ramen w/ vegetables
Drinks: 4 mugs teeccino w/ stevia & nondairy creamer, 2 glasses water = 80oz

Great job!!

Food & drinks total: 1953
Fruits & veggies: peaches, spinach, banana, carrots, green beans = 5

Activity: nothin'

Not spectacular... but I actually did a lot better than I thought I was going to do. I'm already depressed about how my life is going right now, and then I'm PMS'ing on top of that, and then Adam and I fought all day on top of THAT. At one point I completely flipped out... went to the kitchen, ate 2 servings of honeycomb, 2 slices of lemon cake, and a box of Junior Mints, one after the other. Not surprisingly, I felt like hell after that, and all I could do was sleep it off. Oh sweetie....I wish I could help you out more... it makes me so sad to see you like this....

I'm still upset, but so far, I'm restraining myself from any more stupid emotional binge-eating.

Hi everyone,

Breakfast and lunch were the same as the last two days. Dinner went downhill from there. I put my rabbit to sleep today. My vet would not work with me on spacing out the payments. With my husband and myself both being out if work, surgery for the rabbit was not possible. I loved him, he was only four years old. I'm so sorry.... take care of YOU! {{HUGS}}

Oh god I'm not even going to tell you what I ate today... today was a really rough day. I was up all last night madly trying to get my thesis paper done, which didn't happen, so I was in the library all day madly trying to get it done, which eventually did happen :P Thank goodness... Drank loads of water because that's all they'll let you bring in there. I was massively hungry all day but just kept snacking on rice cakes and bagels I had stashed with me (covertly so the librarians wouldn't see me, lol). LOL

When I got home late and starving, Andrew (my bf) had made me this delicious pasta dish - he's so sweet! It totally made me feel better after a very stressful day. what a sweetheart!!

Anyway, that's done with now so tomorrow will be better. Going to try to get a decent amount of sleep tonight to make up for last night and then hit the gym + yoga tomorrow morning. Good luck!!!

Hi everyone! TGIF. Hopefully I can get this done quick before my mtg. TGIF!!

Breakfast - 1/2 serving of oatmeal made w/soy milk and golden raisins, OJ w/fiber, mint tea
Snack - apple, coffe w/the works
lunch - hummus veggie wrap again (no avacado this time)
Snack - Chewy trail mix bar
Dinner - UFO MANIA!!! Unexpected dinner out w/the 'rents after looking at a condo. But in my defense I DID order a plain baked potato and steamed veggies as my sides. GOOD GIRL!

Excercise - none, due to condo search and dinner out

Water - approx 60 oz.

Have started tracking on fitday again . . . think I really need to quantify if I want to see results. An article I read in Runner's World said my calories should be about 1800/day. It seems scary to cut much more - I think I am pretty close to that now. Guess I will just have to get my foot completely better so that I can start running again and get my calorie deficit that way rather than cutting food. Yes, I can see how having a bum foot can really effect ya... I was freaking out then I thought I had hurt my knee.... what was I gonna do?? But thank goodness it was just a ouchy muscle for the day!
