Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Wednesday, 2/7/2018

My first car was a Pinto, the neighborhood bully used to yell "your going to blow up" every time he saw me drive home from school:-)

I totally think that whenever I see the car in the show.. like I'm just waiting for it to happen!

Sean Astin is one of my favorites, also! LOVED him as Samwise!! "Don't you give up Mr. Frodo!"

Good morning,

Qotd I use 10 fingers on a computer but on my phone or iPad it's one finger.

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D steak and some kind of vegetable

Have a good day

Congrats, Ladyblu, on the waterfall removal progress!

QOTD: I am a very fast hunt and peck typer using mostly my index and middle fingers and sometimes the others, but no pinkies get involved!

B - coffee, yogurt, berries, grain free granola

L - cheese, salami, Triscuits

D - pork tenderloin, veggies

S - hard boiled egg, almonds

Good morning! A big "woo hoo" for the progress on your waterfalls Ladyblu! What a relief that must be!

Not much planned for the day, I have my monthly Bunko gathering tonight. I have been so close to winning the last few times, maybe tonight is the night:-)

QOTD-My parents made me take typing too, I think it was 8th grade. I am glad they insisted, I am a ten finger pro.

B-Ezekiel 7 grain sprouted bread w/1tbsp almond butter

L-Tuna with mayo, string cheese

S-Chai tea w/cream & stevia

D-Protein options at Bunko potluck

E-It's pure ice outside, not sure today??

Down 5lbs on Tuesday morning's weigh in!! I hope everyone has a safe and peaceful Wednesday.

Happy hump day! It is HOT and sunny here (no complaints).

QOTD: I'm a great typist on a regular or laptop keyboard (though backspace is definitely one of my frequently used keys for correction). But I'm usually on my iPad or iPhone where it is mostly 1 finger typing (I mess up with even 2 fingers on the smaller screen keyboards).

1 year, 10 months post-op

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: Tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: Vegetarian chili

S: Cottage cheese or yogurt

Good morning! I'm very happy that it's Wednesday!

I had my 7 week post-op visit (from the day of surgery) yesterday, and my surgeon and his team are very pleased with my progress (almost as pleased as I am!)

I no longer have any food restrictions, but I do think the guidelines they gave me were very lax. I'm sort of in the "Do I listen to them or do I listen to people on here?" type of thinking. Regardless, I'm intelligent and I am losing weight well. If I stop, I will definitely adjust. I also like that the dietician and nutritionist both gave me their emails and office numbers. That seems like they really care! My new guidelines are to get 900-1200 calories a day, eating from all food groups. They didn't include any carbohydrate limits, but the nutritionist said to get at least 50-75 a day. I've been hovering around that bottom number, so that seems fine. They also reccomended that I try to get the majority of my protein from food, but that protein shakes were still fine to use, if necessary.

QOTD: I just took a typing test to ensure, and I hit 102 words per minute the first time and 96 words per minute the second time. That was fun. I would have definitely struggled in Grad school if my typing skills weren't already on point. I had a teacher in 7th grade that would put us on a typing website whenever we got done with our work early, and I ALWAYS got done early.

B: Two pieces of mozzarella cheese wrapped in salami

L: Turkey Taco Casserole (from bariatric foodie)

D: TBD..I am thinking that turkey bacon and protein pancakes sound like a winner!

I recently bought the Flapjacked buttermilk protein pancake mix. While one serving has 23g of carbs, I was only able to eat one of the four smallish pancakes I made the other day. DW had the other 3, so that fits into my plan as far as I am concerned. We eat them with a smear of PBfit and reduced sugar jam OR we wrap our meat into them for a breakfast sandwhich.

Snacks: 1.5 hard-boiled eggs (gave half to a student),

Finally getting my hair cut today and I'm excited! My hair never looks so good as right after a hair appointment. :)

QOTD: I'm a ten finger pro. ;) I grew up on keyboards, so I'm a pretty fast typer. :D

M1: Premier Protein + Cold Brew

M2: Bacon Ranch Tuna Salad + .5oz of bean crisps

M3: Turkey Jerky + Dill Havarti

M4: Bacon Avocado Fries

M5: Banana Protein Pudding

E: Walking!

QOTD: Normally a 10 finger typer - but since my op - im down to 7-8 he he he

B: Egg and Lettuce Sandwich

S: Babybel Cheese

L: Pork chop & Salad - leftovers
