Hey,

Sounds like are still doing awesome, as usual! Does your trainer want you to lower your carb intake just at night time, or overall? Just at night..I kinda need them in the day or I tend to get tired I want to try and have less sugar, but I get so freaked at the thought of lowering my carbs 'cause of the ol' stomach!
Those protein drinks sure come in handy, eh? Yes, and I have a few flavors to use up (banana, choc peanutbutter, & choc) so that has been nice. I'm all done with the choc peanutbutter, I think that is the kind I gave you....and almost out of the banana...but these containers will go much faster now that I'm drinking 3 per day instead of just 1 so I will have to get a few more flavors. I want to try the strawberry, but afraid I might not like it a whole canister worth....but then again I can always mix 1/2 scoop with 1/2 scoop of choc or a 1/3 straw, 1/3 banana, 1/3 choc and make a banana split one!! LOL What a good, easy way to get extra protien in every day! I still haven't tried that one that you gave me, I keep saying I will wait for a really stable day and I haven't really had one yet!
Do those flour tortillas have many fewer calories/carbs than regular bread? Depends on the brand...the brand I use is NOT reduced fat... 180 cal, 29 carbs, 4g protein, 1 fiber, 5g fat 'cause that seems like a good way to cut back a little..
Anyway, yay for you! Sounds good with that walk coming up, that whole area is so beautiful it'd be easy to walk around without it feeling like QUITE as much of a chore! kinda what I was thinking... the time will FLY by.
Good luck! thanks!
**hugs** Right back at ya... thanks for your support!

Hi all!
Here is my report for today!
Activity: 30 mins of painting. Was going to take the dog for a long walk, but I had a reeeeeally bad tummy day.. I must have gone to the bathroom 8 times in a couple of hours, oy! Oh, feel better soon!

Breakfast: Nutz Over Chocolate Luna Bar and half of a metamucil wafer = 233 calories

Lunch: Thin rice noodles (thank you Shell!) hehehe your welcome with some soy sauce and roasted garlic and honey sauce. I didn't eat very much, feeling icky. = 150 calories

Snack: Pretzels and peppermint tea = 110 calories

Dinner: Went out for dinner, and the whole experience was AMAZING even though I wasn't feeling well! The place, the service, the food.. oh my god, so awesome! I had grilled chicken breast in rosemary, garlic, and lemon with some pan seared rosemary basil potatoes. It came with a lobster tail, but I gave it away because I've never had lobster and was scared to try on a bad day. Also had a bite of a 'sticky chicken' appetizer, and of a toffee dessert . I dunno about calories! I didn't have any of the oil or butter or anything with the meal. Also had a cup of peppermint tea, that was AMAZING. Brand is mystic leaf, I think.. it was so yummy! I was raving about it, and the server came over and gave me some to take home! sounds fabulous!

Snack: Handful mini marshmallows, and a piece of semi-sweet chocolate = 210 calories.

For drinks, I did really well! I had about 10 glasses of water, and then my two cups of tea. good!!

So calorie total...703 + my dinner, which must have been at least 350 calories I would think... I guess that is still pretty low. Darn it!

Need to lose 15-30 lbs in the next "6 to 8 months to a year", see my post in the LR about breast reduction!

In typical hobbit habit, random order, etc. et cetera: is this report really for 8/9?

--1 L. Gatorade
--750 ml. broth
--2 c. blueberries
--zucchini with broccoli/sweet basil puree (Yeah! The broccoli/basil puree as a sauce agreed with me! My stinky veggie indulgence of the day!) LMAO!! (I actually ate a whole stalk!!! Mind you, I did take Beano!)
--"Roasted Fennel and Baby Carrots" (Fennel Bulb and 1 c. baby carrots)(My all time favourite comforting rabbit food dinner of late--so simply delicious and tummy friendly!)
(Gave it a "Thai Ginger" spin, using the Thai Kitchen seasoning/broth packet to roast the fennel/carrots in, in lieu of olive oil and a little twist of lime. Very yummy and supremely SALTY!!!)
--7 baby dills
--another cup of steamed baby carrots and some leftover zucchini for a snack.

And that's all folks. I'm just bagged these days. So, I'm kate-napping as much as possible.
I haven't a clue re: calories and I honestly am losing the obsession. Must be the Buspar!

Kate.

I am not even going to post my eating for today. I was up till the wee hours of the morning lastnight in pain and had a bad attack. Something I enjoyed for my birthday did not want to be enjoyed. Yeh, but I bet is was worth it? hehehe ok, maybe not Just safe, blah foods for a few days until I hopefully get back to somewhat stable.
Okay that was the bad news, so here is the good news... my bf and I got new bikes today!! I love mine and it is soo comfy to ride, not the cheapy I am used to.

Here it is......... yellow and silver, I am not good with posting pics so hopefully it will work

Starting a new diet (food plan) today...per my PT. Time to change things up a little.... increasing my protein and reducing my carbs in the evenings. Ahhh, good for you...seems like when you exercise as much as you do, you need the extra protein. Yes, that is what needed to be done...I was loosing lean muscle

OK... here is my reporting in...... I LOVE your graphics!!!!
My BMR = 2083 + I burned 716 calories (45 minutes on the Eliptical, 10 minutes Abs) - 730 less calories to get to my goal = 2083 calorie food budget.

Pre-Breakfast (around 6:00am) : 210 calories Soytein Energy Drink (Banana w/Vanilla Silk Soy Milk) & Water

Breakfast (around 8:30-9am): 170 calories Toasted Nutz N Cranberry Luna Bar & Water

Snack (around 10-10:30am): 50 calories 4oz Unsweetened Applesauce & Water

Snack (around 12:00pm): 210 calories Soytein Energy Drink (Chocolate Peanut Butter w/Vanilla Silk Soy Milk) & Water

Snack (around 1:30pm): 50 calories 4oz Unsweetened Applesauce & Water

Lunch (around 2:30pm): 458 calories 6oz Tuna w/Light Mayo, 1 cup Long Grain Rice, 4oz Unsweetented Applesauce & Water

Before Gym(around 5:30pm): 210 calories Soytein Energy Drink (Banana w/Vanilla Silk Soy Milk) & Water

Dinner (between 8:30-9pm, after the gym): 313 calories 10" Flour Tortilla w/3oz Chicken Breast, 4 Tablespoons Fresh Pico de Gallo Salsa, 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder & Water After all the working out you do, if it were me, I'd want about double this!!! LOL Don't think I don't want to... but this is where I had to cut my carbs... and because I increased by carbs I also increased my calories, which makes me really have to be careful at dinner time....plus I eat so late, it is better to have a smaller meal.

Tea Time (around 10-10:30pm): 0 calories 8oz Heather's Fennel Tea (love the bags)

Fiber Pills: 3 calories total

Total Water intake (goal 128oz) = 88 oz

Total of 1681 .....still in my food budget

I'm also going to do another 5K this Sunday!! WOOOOHOOOO, good for you Shell!!! I hope it's not to hot...take a picture and share, ok? I was thinking about that, maybe I'll carry the smaller digital in my fanny pack if it will fit You've been at this life change now for how many months over a year 15 months!! ...........and your still at it!!!!
