Good morning! Hope you and everyone else are doing well.

Today: Work, then the Toronto East Enders coffee night tonight.  Had a sluggish day at work yesterday. Forgot that I had a full day meeting, which also meant that I couldn't get to the exercise room yesterday. I think I had less than 5000 steps. Today might be similar because I have another full day meeting. I like it better when I have a day where I'm getting up and moving a lot, walking all over the building, taking the stairs a lot, etc.  That happens more than this kind of day, luckily.

Yesterday someone brought a bunch of Easter chocolate to the meeting. I gave in. I hate it when people do that! They mean well, they do it to be nice, and it kills me almost every time.  There will probably be more there today, sigh. And I didn't end up getting my protein bars yesterday, unfortunately, which I often use to ward off candy when I know it's going to be served. Maybe I'll see if a Shopper's Drug Mart has some Quest bars on the way to work today.

I doubt this will be enough to keep me full - I might have to add something at some point today. We'll see. I'll try to make it healthy.

Have a great day, everyone!

The kids I teach are always bringing me cupcakes in celebration of something ... very tempting ... except when they've made them (eww--secret ingredient boogers..lol!). The good news is today's a new day with great possibilities (can you tell I've just read one of my affirmation books). Hope you have a great day!

Good morning.

April something is wrong with your numbers.  What you have posted as far as carbs, protein and fat actually add up to way more 1057 calories so either those numbers are off or the calories are off.  Each carb is 4 cals, each protein is 4 cals and each fat is 9 so when you do the math it should come up to 1057 but yours doesn't.

Pre-op

Tried out ham and lf swiss chesse rolled up together and I really like the combination.  Does anyone know if you can freeze them for lunches or would they get all gross? In the past I have made sandwiches and they froze fine, but not sure whether it would work if there is no bread?

b - cottage cheese mixed with sf source cherry greek yogurt

l - chicken and mashed potato

d - low carb high protein tortilla bean burrito  or  grilled cheese on weigh****chers bread

snack: black forest ham and low fat swiss cheese rollups

drinks:  sf vitamin water, Dasani grape, mint tea
