Day 110

Well its Day 110 on the Medi-Weightloss diet and Im trying to keep myself on track this week without any slips/cheats. 

I have some stuff to be excited about.  This week at the grocery store I found 3 pleasant surprises:

1. Mio liquid water enhancer now comes in Lemonade and Blueberry Lemonade flavors (both super yummy!)
2. Vitamin Water Zero has electrolytes... so I can now have some variety away from the Powerade Zero.  Dont get me wrong, I think "PAZ" is great but sometimes its not on sale or available in flavors that I like.
3. Two words:  SPARKLING ICE.  If you havent tried/seen this yet, definitely keep your eyes peeled in the grocery store.  Its naturally flavored sparkling spring water (think carbonated Crystal Light) and it tastes awesome, especially with zero calories!

I actually used some Sparkling ICE this morning in my protein shake:  1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder, 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, 1 cup ice, and 1 cup Sparkling ICE in Pomegranate Berry flavor.  SUPER tasty! 

The rest of todays menu looks something like this:

• Mozzarella cheese stick @ 11 am
• 3 oz Boars Head Buffalo Chicken Breast roll-ups @ 1pm
• 112g of 0% Chobani vanilla with 1/4 cup fresh blueberries @ 3:30pm
• 4 oz crock pot chicken breast with 6 asparagus spears @ 6pm
• 1/4 cup fresh blueberries, 1 oz Land O Lakes American Cheese & 12 natural almonds @ 8:30pm
• 1 Jell-O cup with 2 Tbsp Cool Whip Free @ some point before bed (my "dessert")

Some people may wonder why I eat so frequently instead of just eating more at each meal.  Well the answer to that is complicated.  First, it helps keep my stomach smaller so that it doesnt get stretched out and make me hungrier later.  Second, I like schedules - even food schedules.  It helps me stay focused.  And third, Im on a rather potent prescription drug that wreaks havoc on my energy levels if I dont eat every 2-4 hours.  All of that combines to actually benefit my metabolism so I cant complain too much.

Tonight I have my mother and grandmother coming over for dinner... chicken in the crock pot.  Or should I say, HUGE chicken in the crock pot?  My hubby insisted we have a couple of dinner guests so we dont end up eating chicken for 3-4 days this week (like last time).  Im definitely looking forward to a nice dinner with family tonight.
