Activity
ACTUALLY woke up at 5 am and left by 5:30 am for the gym. 35 minutes on elliptical and stretching.

Plan for tomorrow:
Do it again. :) Less snacking...more water

Overall today was good. I waited until almost 2 for lunch which was not a good idea. I have leftover nachos - wondering if I should eat them for lunch tomorrow, or if I should eat my protein bar and bring home the nachos for some one else. I will probably cave and eat the nachos...maybe if I take some veggies to eat with it? We'll see.

What day is it?

Plan for tomorrow:
Get up at 5 am, slip on some gym clothes and hope the coffee kicks in fast enough for me to get a work out in; Jittery Joe's coffee on the way back. Special K for breakfast and dinner. Wild Wing Cafe chicken salad for lunch - no nachos!

Day Three

Not as difficult as I thought it would be.

Breakfast
Special K chocolate shake
Green grapes

Snack
Special K tomato and herb crackers
1 slice colby jack cheese made with 2% milk

Chips and Salsa
Grilled chicken sandwich, no bacon, on a whole wheat bun with no fat honey mustard
french fries w/no fat honey mustard

Snack 2
Peanut butter chocolate Special K snack bar

Dinner
Chicken pot pie soup
1 biscuit
nectarine

Snack 3
Chocolate raspberry Special K snack bar

Activity
30 minutes on arc trainer at Y

Plan for tomorrow:
Actually make Special K 2 meals of my day...while still recognizing I can be flexible and make smart choices when other options present themselves. Chiropractor appointment makes it hard to exercise, especially after how sore I will be tomorrow. I already feel the good sore from my workout today. Wednesday morning we're going to try to hit the gym at 5:30 in the morning...we'll see how that works...

Day 2

Breakfast
Special K French Vanilla shake

Snack
Special K protein snack bar

Lunch
Chili's! Soup and Salad
chips and salsa
chicken enchilada soup
house salad w/avocado ranch

Snack 2
Special K tomato & herb crackers

Dinner
1 slice sourdough bread
Sloppy Joe's mix - homemade
2 dill pickle slices
1 pear

Snack 3
Special K raspberry chocolate bar

Activity
Walking through Costco

Planning
For tomorrow, I am eating as much Special K as I can. Because all profits from Chili's go to St. Jude tomorrow, I am trying to eat lunch there. That means I should eat dinner on Special K. However, my brother is trying a new recipe and needs my feedback. It's chicken pot pie soup...which isn't bad. We'll see. My brother is picking me up and taking me to the gym after work so I have no excuses...I have to work out!

New plan...

So I decided to start the Special K 2 week challenge. Today was my first day.

We'll see how this goes.

Day 1 -295.6 lbs

Breakfast -
Special K Blueberry cereal and skim milk
Coffee w/sugar free creamer

Snack 1
Cake batter cookie (I picked the smallest)

Snack 2
Special K snack bar - chocolate and peanut butter (almost tasted like a snickers bar)

Lunch
Moe's Nachos w/grilled steak, fresh salsa, lettuce and a dollop of sour cream.

Dinner
Green chile stew
Cheddar biscuit

Snack 3
Special K Raspberry chocolate snack bar

Activity:
Deep cleaning house with my 7th grade girls. Worked up a bit of a sweat, but not sure if that was the scrubbing or the fever I found out I had when I tried to donate blood. Came home for a 3 hour nap. Hematocrit was 17, blood pressure 118/68 I think...I didn't feel sick until she told me I had a fever of 100.0. She took it twice and it got higher the second time she took it. Hope I'm not coming down with anything.

Plan:
Tomorrow I'll make it 2 meals for Special K. Shake for breakfast and a snack bar when my girls are eating donuts at church. Might try a meal bar for lunch. Try to work in more fruits and veggies in the day.
