I know this wasn't directed to me, but I'm sitting here being SO hungry, and I needed to read this sentence... thanks!

Chicken is baking in the oven. Load of Laundry has been started so I have something to wear to work. And I've got a rough plan for food tomorrow.

[SpacecityPaula]

Good Gravy.... I think I'm either going to sprout Feathers or Gills with this plan.

[SpacecityPaula]

Okay.... Here's what I have on the menu for food tomorrow

557 G Chicken Breast
227 G Cottage Cheese
3 small tomatoes courtesy of Bob's Mom's Garden
200 G Asparagus

1 apple
112 G Extra Lean Ground Beef
41 G of Regular Oatmeal, cooked
112 g egg white
1 lg banana

Total Calories for the day

I wish I could be so precise with my eats!
Thanks for stopping by Paula!

It actually ended up being a bit less than that by the time I finished slicing up the tomatoes and putting the scale weight into fit day. Nonetheless. Day one of 1800 calories begins tomorrow.

La la la... I can't hear you!

OH SO TRUE!!!

Anne- I used to be one of those people! I'd go out for a 3 or 4 mile run, and come home and eat whatever I wanted, cuz, afterall, I just ran 3 or 4 miles, ya know!!

Diet is KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And some days, that just freakin' sucks!!

I am ready for my nap Mr Deville

[SpacecityPaula]

So far so good. I got my first batch of water down. Had some green tea and the first batch of chicken/sweetpotatoes this morning. Am about to commence on the second batch here in a bit. breakfast this morning was oatmeal and banana. Since I didn't sleep worth a damn last night I skipped the egg whites.

Laughing cow cheese light is my friend at this point as is tea.

I need to see if one of the restuarants downtown has a lunch menu so I can plan my business lunch tomorrow.

[SpacecityPaula]

Good Gravy.... The least calorie item on the menu is the Tuna salad on Rye or whole grain bread....

[SpacecityPaula]

I just printed out the menu for one of the downtown places since I'm going there for lunch tomorrow. I looked at all the menu options and slowly eliminated what my choice would be (honestly this was based on the calories). Looks like I'll have a half a Tuna Salad (250 cal) with Mixed Greens (vinagrette on the side) and the seasonal fruit medley (90 Cals) It's the cheapest calorically that I can get out of there with

[missjane]

How about a salad with some grilled chicken?

[SpacecityPaula]

The salads are all 800+ Calories....

And Houston wonders why it's one of the fattest cities in the US???
