Miss132 – Week 8, Day 3

Weight today is at 145.5. Considering it’s the holidays, and yes I have been partaking, I’m pretty happy. Yes, I’ve gone a few days without posting, been out and about and that is when you begin to slip. Also there was a big christmas party this weekend and my contribution was homemade cupcakes. So yes, I ‘tested’ three cupcakes to ensure they were good. Well enough of that, back to blogging.

Bfst: 1 slice of low carb bread w/leftover tuna salad. and green tea  i’m estimating 80 cal and 2 grams of P

mid morning snack: 1 slice of low carb toast with smart balance peanut butter plus instant via coffee and almond milk. 140 cal and 5 grams of P

afternoon? i don’t think i had anything actually. Did a 2 mile walk.

evening party: 1/2 glass of champagne. skipped all the food – success!  50 cal

late evening at home: a 40 cal serving of broccoli w/cheese. a low carb tortilla with broiled portabellos, tomato,romaine, mayo and smoked trout. a green tea. and yes, some left over cupcakes (one that wasn’t ‘pretty’ enough to make its way to the party).  i’m estimating 550 cal and 12 grams of P.

total for day: 820 cal and 19 grams of P. wowza.  SO LOW ON THE PROTEIN. not good. need a protein shake for breakfast.

Miss132 – Week 7, Day 3

Yesterday I reached my first of my goals. 145 lbs. Yes, I’m very happy. That’s 7 lbs down in 4 weeks. The blog started back on Oct. 22, that’s 7 weeks ago, but it wasn’t until Nov. 6th that I changed strategies after reading a book by Dr. Christine Northrup and began focusing on protein instead of just counting calories.  My next goal is 140lbs. and I do hope to get there by New Year’s Eve. I haven’t been that weight since Dec. 2007.

Today’s recap:

Bfst: designer whey 100 cal + 18 grams of P, plus almond milk 40 cal + 1 grams of P.

Lunch: big lunch, one serving container of green giant frozen brocooli w/cheese , 40 cal, 2 grams of P by the way, I love www.thedailyplate.com as a resource for calorie counts. also, Polenta 2 servings (140 cal + 4 grams of P) with tomato sauce and one medallion of mozzarella (left over from yesterday when I od’d on mozzarella – my skin is paying the price today), pan fried just in olive oil spray. and then 6 homemade butternut squash ravioli’s frozen from back in september. I’m going to guestimate those at 250 cal plus 1 gram of protein. stash green ice tea with sun crystals (5 cal)

dinner: miss hungry gluten free spaghetti 40 cal + 2 grams of P, plus  1/2 can of Thai lite coconut milk 157 calories (more than i thought) + red curry paste + 11 japanese scallops from trader joe’s 180 calories + 33 grams of P, + bean sprouts + sugar snap peas. yummy. plus one small glass of white wine. 70 calories. also, water.

Totals as of 10:13 pm: 1022 calories (is that really possible?????).  and 61 grams of P. i can’t believe I hit both goal totals today without even thinking about it until now! that’s very exciting.
