That sounds like a plan to me! I plan my next day's menu on Fitday and can see the running total of my macros and if I see the protein is a little low I can tweak it until I get it where I want it.
You take the calories out of the starchy carbs, like the corn and couscous. You might also choose non-fat or low-fat cottage cheese instead of yogurt. Keep all the fibrous veggies.
Ha. well, technically...I packed cottage cheese (my food for the day is all pre-measured and containerized). We'll see how much I like it pre-yoga tonight.
I also picked up some 0 percent greek yogurt, so that should help some with the protein in my smoothies, etc.

Okay your pork Tenderloin dinner sounds delish do you have a recipe?

Thanks Paula, yeah, for the pork I just rubbed it with cumin and some salt, then got the grill pan really hot and seared it for about 15 minutes, moving it around to get good grill marks going. I let it rest another 10 minutes before slicing.
The slaw I just improvise: measurements for one person would be about a cup of shredded cabbage (I weigh obsessively, so 90 grams for me), half a red bell pepper (sliced thin like the cabbage), maybe 2 tablespoons of red onion, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, juice of half a lime, some salt and pepper. That mess will marinate all day in the fridge. It's also good with some carrot (for that I would julliene and partially cook in the microwave, but you could put it in raw).

Thanks for that idea, but alas, I am quite sensitive to soy protein powder (learned that on a post-shake run. It was not pretty, but I did make it around the lake in record time ).
I'll try double the whey protein in a shake tomorrow.

08/07 food revised
I ate the cottage cheese. It wasn’t bad, so I’m thinking either the last container I got was on the sour side, or maybe sitting in a container with pineapple all day made it sweeter. In any case, I will do that again.
The dinner plans on the other hand, went a little haywire. I kind of forgot that when I get home from yoga at 8:45 I’m not really in the mood to mau my way through a giant pile of cabbage. –had the pork with the last of the pineapple instead.

I just had to stop by because I love the library too. I have a library science degree, although I don't work in a library. What kind of library do you work in?

Hi jedigrrl! Thanks. I'm actually not a librarian, I just love libraries and spend a lot of time there--less now since I've been out of graduate school (and since I've been spending so much time in the gym...), but still.

I finished phase 2 today. w00t! I also learned today that I have to drive to Duluth, MN on Friday for a morning meeting. This seems like perfect timing to take Friday afternoon off and do some hiking along the north shore of lake superior (really beautiful, and my favorite spot to hike).
So, no new rules workout Friday, I will hike Friday and Saturday instead....that's kind of like resting, right? At least it is a change from the normal routine. Monday will begin phase 3. Now I just need to figure out how many calories to consume on my hiking days...and decide if I should camp out on the trail or get a room Friday night...
