Hello ladies! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Other than TOM ruining mine, it was ok.
Tomorrow starts my work week. I haven't been to work in about 3 months, it's going to an adjustment. But this also gives me the chance to put my weightloss plan into action!
I've made a meal plan and I'm about to cook the stuff needed. So I can just pack up plates and take them for lunch everyday. It's healthy, affordable and quick!
Any suggestions for lean meat other than chicken breast?
I have 6 pieces of chicken I'm going to grill and either cut up and put in a salad or eat with veggies. I'm going to rotate special k cereal and scrambled egg whites for breakfast along with fruit. So, I have my eating on plan I just need to find a way to work out. The gym is on holiday hours which is 11a-6p. I'll be at work during those hours so I can't go to the gym. I'll have to buy a workout DVD since it's too cold to run outside. Any suggestions?
Also there's a bottle at wal mart that is 64oz whcih is what is needed for my daily intake of water. I'm going to buy that and fill it up to make sure I'm getting my daily dose of water. Because with bottles I can easily drink one and forget it. Also I throw a lot of bottles away, so I'm just going to buy the gallon on water, which is cheaper then bottles and just refil my bottle everyday.
TOLD YALL I HAD PLANS!
Wish me luck and pray for me. I'm off to cook my chicken breasts.
Have a great week!
**EDIT*
I got all my food for the week cooked!! I baked 2 chicken breast, I grilled 2 chicken breast, and cut 2 chicken breast up and marinated them in the pot for my salads. I also made green beans and yams for dinner tonight and made a plate for dinner tomorrow or lunch at work. I'm feeling pretty good about myself...Now if only those dishes would wash themselves I'd be good.
I've decided to make a doctor's appt while I'm on my break. My mom keeps b$*^#@ at me to do so because my foot has this nerve that has stopped me from wearing normal shoes because of the pain and my weight. She wants to know if my steady high blood pressure is an indicator in something serious going on that also may account for the weight flucuations and why it's so hard for me to lose with working out 50 mins atleast 3 x's a week. I don't know what he'll say but it's worth a try. High blood pressure and diabetes run in my family so I do want to get that checked out. I'll let you guys know when my appt is.

MIss Motivated!
Check you out! All ready for the week! You are a girl with a plan! Good job!
... I was thinking. Gettinfit was just told by a nutritionist that she was working out to much for the number of calories she was consuming. I wonder if maybe that is the case for you?
Do you count calories? Maybe look at how many you are eating each day and see if it seems like to few. My guess is that if you are doing 50 min three or more times a week and you're eating less than 1500 calories that could be why you're not losing as fast. Obviously I'm not a nutrionist so don't take these numbers to heart, but it's something to think on.
Good job on getting all of your food together. Do you like fish? You could get canned tuna and put that in your salads. Or even canned salmon. Or you could get the frozen filets (costco has great frozen tilapia and cod) and cook those. Just a few ideas.
Good luck this week, you are definitely on the right track!
I am so impressed with you cooking your food ahead of time. That will be a real lifesaver. I hope TOM comes and goes quickly for you. TOM did a real number on my emotions this month too!
...for faithfully stopping by to check on me. It really does mean a lot to me. I'm sorry that I haven't been the best at getting out to visit in return. Forgive me?
Now.....
How inspiring are you?!? Way to go! Ever hear the quote "people don't plan to fail, they fail to plan" Well....not YOU! You have half the battle won for this week by having such a great plan!
I WILL definately pray for you!!! Will be exciting to hear how awesome you do!
LOVE the quote and love even more that you have a plan and are determined to stick to it!! As for working out, try Walk Away the Pounds - the DVD's are easily found and reasonibly priced - you could also check some out at the library!!
Thanks for stopping by and letting me know you are there with support!!!
