What up, Fit Chicks!
Hope the first day back on the wagon (or third one depending on when you started) was a successful one!
On the menu:
Bfast - raisin bran, coffee with FF creamer
Lunch - leftover kale soup
Snacks - lowfat yogurt, cereal bar, banana, hummus and Triscuits
Dinner - wheat spaghetti with meat sauce - ground turkey and veggies, side salad
Tonight I may allow myself a glass of wine after Nolan goes to bed instead of having a treat for dessert. I did not have any wine last night! A struggle seeing as yesterday was a difficult first day back after the vaca! (does this make me sound like an alcoholic?) 
Whatev.
Exercise: quick 20 min. video before Nolan and Joe get home. Tonight is Joe's night at the gym.
Re: What up, Fit Chicks!
DH is on the road this week, so my diet is a bit more wonky than usual. I had a big breakfast this morning with eggs, homemade whole wheat toast, and melon. Lunch will be soup. Dinner.... no clue.
As for exercise, I'm going to a yoga class tonight. It's hot yoga and supposedly burns 600 calories a session. After that, I'll have to see how I feel by the time I get home at 9PM. Might hop on the bike trainer or do something with my Wii if I have tons of energy, but I'll likely be editing photos until midnight instead.
"(does this make me sound like an alcoholic?)
Whatev." LOVE THIS!
Well I managed to stay on track yesterday! WAHOO! One day down...several more to go...
Bfast: Multigrain Cheerios with skim milk; coffee with light eggnog
Lunch: Nonfat vanilla greek yogurt; one piece of leftover chocolate
Dinner: Leftover pasta bake with sausage and spinach
Snack: Maybe some grapes
Exercise: 50 minutes of cardio (26 on the elliptical, 12 on the bike, 12 on the stair climber)
I ran 3 miles on the treadmill this morning. Not easy to get motivated since I generally dislike the treadmill and we were up with a sick Eli in the middle of the night. Also, just an observation- it is lovely to have a woodstove in the basement except when your treadmill is down there too. Holy sweat!
Breakfast- Half of a wheat bagel with peanut butter. Treated myself to a DD (thank you gift cards!) gingerbread coffee with milk and one sugar. Banana later in the morning.
Lunch- Leftover homemade bbq chicken pizza
Snack- Yogurt, granola bar, clementine
Dinner- Probably pasta fagioli soup that I am thawing from the freezer and beer bread.
Dessert- Mini ice cream sandwich or hot cocoa and popcorn
Breakfast- Multigrain waffles and sugar free strawberry preserves
Lunch- nonfat strawberry greek yogurt, oranges and carrots
Supper-honey mustard pretzel coated chicken tenders and sweet potatoes
Snacks- banana, fiber plus bar, yogurt bites
I am thinking of taking the night off but I might do Dance Central or Kinetic Adventures.?
?
Can I play too?
B'fast - oatmeal w/raisins and soy milk, coffee w/hazelnut flavored creamer
Lunch - small Greek salad, string cheese
Snacks - an 80-cal packet of Welch's fruit snacks ... mmmmmmmm.
Dinner & Exercise depend on whether Dude Bff and I go running later, if not then I'm having a splurge night out with my girl friends at Binga's and if so I'll probably eat some veggies and grilled chicken and run ... hmm I'm guessing 3 miles.
This was not a very well planned day!
I'm using you guys as inspiration to help me not gain too much weight over the next 9 weeks (and hopefully not grow another 10 lb. 10 oz. baby).
Breakfast: Organic non-fat yogurt, grapes, dry Kashi Heart-to-Heart cereal, decaf coffee w/ milk
Lunch: Small bowl of meatball vegetable soup, more grapes
Snacks: more Kashi, chocolate rice cakes
Dinner: Still deciding between kale soup and tacos. Probably tacos since I had soup for lunch.
Maybe I'll even avoid dessert.
Exercise: hoping to do at least 30 minutes of prenatal yoga
I lied. My day has pretty much gone to hell, so there was no way I was going to chance it by driving to class tonight. *sigh*
Breakfast: Toast with PB, chocolate Ovaltine (love that stuff)
Lunch: Leftover Beef and veggie stew, slice whole wheat bread
Dinner: bean tacos, chips and salsa
Snacks: Walnuts, chocolate rice cake
Workout: had planned on it, but didn't really end up working out today.
Breakfast: steel cut oats with a little brown sugar, sliced almonds, and dried cranberries
Snack: 2 clementines
Lunch: tabouli with some black beans thrown on top
Dinner: some pasta with broccoli, garlic, and grilled chicken
snack: slice of beer bread with honey
