Back on track today heading into a healthy week ahead!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get back on track for this week as well. I need to get groceries!
ReplyDeleteHad 1/2 deviled egg with black coffee for breakfast.
DeleteChicken breast and green beans with a potato wedge for lunch
Yum!
DeleteI haven't had deviled eggs in ages, love em! I would have a hard time eating only 1/2! Kudos to you!
Your lunch: Chicken breast, green beans, and a potatoes wedge sounds delicious as well!
Today was a definite fail on the healthy eating front. I am disappointed with myself. Thank goodness tomorrow offers a fresh start!
ReplyDeleteI’m with you Julie! I had a bad Sunday, it’s a new day, new mindset coming tomorrow. Let’s get on track!!
DeleteYes, let's do it!
DeleteBreakfast: slice of 12 grain light toast to take with meds
ReplyDeleteLunch: chopped garden cucumber, zucchini, tomato salad
Supper: no idea… homemade salsa with a few corn chips🤷♀️
Thats not much protein or calories Cindy! Lol. I hope you had a lil more than that! No judgement from me though ❤️ I know you guys have light eating days
DeleteYes, I don’t tend to get enough protein in on a daily basis! I do take suggestions well!
DeleteCindy, throw some beans/chickpeas or tuna in the mix! Have a half cup of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt with blueberries. You will feel better! I’ve been way off track for a week or so. Too many sweets and baked items! Making tomato and yellow squash soup with leftovers from canning tomatoes today. Grilled cheese is calling….
DeleteI didnt fast this AM. I didnt eat much. Only like 40 or less calories of pea crisps. But I ate. My body is just depleted after working.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what the rest of my day will be. Probably the usual!
I'm setting a goal for myself of 30g.of Protein for breakfast, lunch, supper.I will also get more fiber.have
ReplyDeleteI haven't been getting enough of these macros/. micros and I think increasing them will be the key to staying on track.
I take a fiber supplement each day. I find it helps. I ran out which is why I think I was also very hungry yesterday/today. I got more today. Id love to get more protein/be able to do protein shakes but I cant with my CKD. My pea crisps turned into a full 140 cal serving lol. But they have 5g of protein at leadt and lots of fiber.
DeleteI don't know anything about ckd, so this suggestion might not fit your situation Cel. I was wondering if you could eat more protein, but in small portions throughout the day like "grazing." Would your kidneys cooperate with that?
DeleteThey do cooperate with protein more stretched out. Just like I have to stretch out any sodium and fluids. But my overall protein still has to stay lower than most peoples protein. Over 30g a day and I am retaining fluid. My body does best with around 20g a day which is so low but I dont retain any fluid.
DeleteSmall lunch change as I didn’t have a tomato
ReplyDeleteOne slice of bread with a slice of oven roast turkey, 1/2 a slice of Swiss cheese, and two pickles, along with a small cucumber and three slices of zucchini
Lunch sounds good Cindy!
ReplyDeleteI had some mushrooms slices with a lil light ranch and some olives and a a couple blackberries and raw green beans. Gonna have "breakfast for supper" eggwhite baked with broccoli and tomato with a small bowl of this cereal I found. Low carb and gluten free but just like cinnamon toast crunch lol. Its 11g of protein and 110 calories for just a lil half cup! So lil under a half cup for me! With unsweetened almond milk. Gonna habe that soon and cut off my food intake and most of my fluid intake until tomorrow and let my body do its thing!
*have
DeleteHaving my coffee and broth. Didnt finish my supper last night at thats okay! Stopped when I was full.
ReplyDeleteBeen fasting since before 6pm. Gonna stick to Im sure a lot of my usual foods today. "KISS" Keep It Simple Stupid! 😂
Breakfast was cottage cheese and blueberries with black coffee
ReplyDeleteThinking a chicken breast and acorn squash for lunch
I did a grocery run today so I have some healthy food choices in-house. 😀
ReplyDeleteI tried a new brand of sparkling water. Waterloo Blackberry Lemonade. I'm not sure I like it. I don't hate it, but it has a weird aftertaste that reminds me of blueberries, which I like, but also tastes a bit like alcohol, which is confusing. I even double-checked the label to make sure it didn't have alcohol in it. No alcohol, Ha!
No carbs or sodium and is just carbonated water and natural flavors. I do like that it costs much less than La Croix, or Bubbly. Just not sure about the weird aftertaste. I have 7 more of them so I will learn if the taste grows on me for sure! Lol!
I had a snack of 2 turkey sausages and a Colby/Monterey cheese stick.
I'm going to have a grilled chicken breast for supper along with roasted green beans and sweet potato discs.
Your supper (minus the meat for me) sounds yummy!! I hope you enjoyed. I couldnt finish mine again. Ate most though. This heat gets to ya!
DeleteYes, the heat sure can "get to you." Have a relaxing evening and try to stay cool.
DeleteGood job with those meals Cindy! I had some blackberries today. Love berries in the summer. Blueberries hurt my belly though. Can only do blackberries and raspberries. Man, I miss strawberries!
ReplyDeleteAlso had green beans (raw) and mushrooms (raw). A couple servings of fresh layered salsa/guac dip (at only 30 cals why not?) Most of a watermelon wedge, and a tablespoon of hummus around 2pm.
Now gonna have more green beans, soup, and egg white baked with zucchini, mushroom, dill, tomato, and onion/pepper (all roasted first except tomato slices.
Enjoy your dinners!
Yummy cel!!!
DeleteOnly had time for a quick breakfast bar before golf this morning. Lunch was leftovers.. chicken breast mixed in with black beans and corn hit the spot. Won’t need much for supper now.
ReplyDeleteMy body was really happy with my food yesterday so I basically had a rinse and repeat day!
ReplyDeleteLots of running around today. Thought I should start off with a hearty bowl of steel cut oats.
ReplyDeleteOatmeal is a delicious breakfast!
DeleteBe safe in all your running around today and enjoy Grandparents day at your Grandies school!
Made myself a light sandwich and grabbed a peach for my little road trip over lunch
ReplyDeleteFor breakfast I had a Pure Protein chocolate peanut butter bar and a cup of lactose-free Fairlife milk.
ReplyDeleteFor lunch I had a Colby/Monterey cheese stick and a package of NUTrition nuts and a sparkling water
Chicken breast, and a side salad planned for supper.
Great plan Julie! Good day!
DeleteI didnt really get to eat at work yesterday. A lil bit of an individual pack of cranberry nut trail mix our VP had on a snack cart she was going around with and some olives and a spoonful of hummus I brought. I was sooo busy. And I only had 16oz.of water all day. I felt crummy. I got home around 4 and had time to eat a snack and supper. Woke up at midnight starving. I hate eating in the middle of the night but I ate a pickle and some veggie chips for a snack.
ReplyDeleteToday gonna try to keep my belly and body happy cause right now they are not! And stay hydrated!
Thinking a poached egg and English muffin sound good to start my day. I would imagine a salad sometime along the day, since lettuce and a chicken breast are about all that’s in my fridge right now. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t had a nice avocado for a long time, so going to cut into one this morning. Hope it’s ripe enough for some on toast with a garden tomato slice. past that, I don’t have a plan.
ReplyDeleteStay hydrated cel! Cindy, agree, avocados are so hard lately and never seem to soften. I’m pressing a block of tofu right now to marinate and “bread” with crushed Rice Krispies and bake in oven. Also having tomatoes and last of cucumbers from garden. Enjoy your day everyone!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of using rice crispies for breading though I did once use corn flakes for breading for a weight watchers recipe.
DeleteGM: are you marinating the tofu to be savory or sweet? I'm intrigued and want to know what you're making. In years past, they probably would call me "nosy" as opposed to "intrigued." Ha!
Enjoyed my avocado, tomato toast for breakfast! thawing out a chunk of salmon with a salad for lunch. That really should do me.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed your avocado Cindy!
DeleteYour lunch sounds delicious and filling.
I love me a nice avocado!!
ReplyDeleteMy appetite has been subpar lately. Sometimes because of it I wake up with a growling belly. Its not good. But Im trying to get enough nutrients in still.
My BP dropped real low again yesterday despite my efforts to be hydrated. Only 75/53. So today I have been drinking my water and I have been trying my best to eat what I can. Ate most of my supper. Gonna have a no sugar added popsicle right now. Gonna do some grocery shopping tomorrow. Maybe Ill find some stuff to add to the house for when I dont feel like eating but need to get stuff in me.
I don’t think I understand the blood pressure of 75/53. My normal is 120 to 140(upper number) when it gets over 140,it’s not good.
DeleteCindy, my doctor says 140 is when he gets concerned. Thankfully, I only had that high (135-145) a few times in the 3 mos after my car accident. I reduced my sodium and started eating healthier, (most of the time.) And my blood pressure has improved. It's weird to me though. As long as I can remember, my blood pressure was always, 90/60, which is on the low side. Since the accident, 120/80 seems to be my magic number.
DeleteSystolic blood pressure, (top number) should be 120 or less when at rest.. 130 or more when resting is a concern that should be addressed with a doctor. The bottom blood pressure should be between 60-90 while resting. Numbers lower than 60 for diastolic blood pressure, (bottom number) is a concern that should be addressed with a doctor.
ReplyDeleteCel, does your CHF cause the extra-low diastolic, (bottom number?)
