Protein Power Pals - Friday - March 26
Good Morning everyone.. I hope you are all doing wonderful! I just wanted to pop in really quick.. I have a busy day today.. my training went well yesterday, and I am chomping at the bit to start.. Its going to be fun, I hadnt realized how much I missed doing things like this, and rising to the challenge.. so..it will be fun I think, and profitable! Which is always a GOOD thing!
Dh and I went to the dealer to swap in his car... and just off chance, asked what they would give us for the vw bug...... thinking. .we will prob just have to wait the 20 more months we own on it... no biggie really. We both walked out of there w/ new vehicles.. GET OUT HUH? CAR AZY! He got a 2004 ford ranger p/u and I got a 2004 ford escape. Mine is here in my drive..his is scheduled for pick up today.. Still feels surreal.... like we won the jackpot or something..remind me of that feeling when I write the car notes.. but we are paying only a little bit more for having the 2 loans, compared to the higher interest rate we had on the beetle. so overall, we are kind of saving money if that makes sense! I got the fire red pearl..it kind of looks cinnamonny to me... Um.. I guess this would be my reward for getting off of insulin? :lol:  |
I have to post one more here, not as an edit, I see that this will be my 500'th posty..LOL, so what better place to have it than right here!
Have a great Friday everyone! |
Oooh, we had a wonderful windstorm last night. It was warm enough that I had the windows open, and it was nice to lay in bed and hear the wind. Now it's pooring down rain, but that's good because we need the rain. Our state is in it's 5th yr of draught.
Dawn - good deals on the new vehicles! Yours sounds really nice, and I bet the color is pretty! Sounds like your making your training fun, good job! I hope everyone has a great day! |
Dawn-
What a rush! Have fun! E |
Congrats on the new rides, Dawn
My menu was a bit high in calories yesterday (couldn't leave the nuts alone), but not awful. Started watching my calorie per pound intake about 7 weeks ago to try to drop some weight for the hiking season - began at 177lbs. I made it to 172 lbs in six weeks before doing the serious hiking over last weekend - soreness is nearly gone and I'm solidly back in ketosis. Weight is 174 lbs today and my clothing is even looser today - I will take measurements as soon as all swelling / soreness has gone. Calories per pound yesterday 1713 / 174 = 9.86 (aiming for around 8 to 9.5 for weight loss). Total calories: 1713 Fat: 97 gms 876 cal 53% Sat: 23 gms 211 cal 13% Poly: 17 gms 153 cal 9% Mono: 47 gms 420 cal 25% Carbs: 51 gms 140 cal 8% ECC: 35 gms Fiber: 16 gms 0 cal 0% Protein: 162 gms 649 cal 39% Breakfast: 4 egg beater omelet with 2 ozs lean ham and 1 oz cheddar Breakfast drink - 8 ozs water, 1 envelope sf gelatine, 1 scoop sf orange citrucel 30 ozs coffee (regular, brewed) Snack: .25 cup mixed nuts - no peanuts Lunch: 6 ozs meat loaf 7 brussels sprouts Snack: .25 cup mixed nuts - no peanuts Dinner: (stir-fry) 1.25 chicken breasts - skinless, 1/2 of 1 lb package of stir-fry veggies, .5 cup peppers and onions - homemade sauce - garlic, ginger, red peppers, soy sauce About 80 oz water & 30 ozs coffee |
