I went to Sonic to get an unsweet tea yesterday to mix my Lemon Tea protein in and when I got back to work I discovered it was sweet tea.  It was sooo good, but I only too 2 swallows because I knew if I drank that big drink I would probably be sick.  I gave it away and made my own with Crystal lite Lemon Tea and it was just as good.  I love Sonic's ice.

Roz, how is the water going????

Good Morning Roz! Been running around today was at the neurosurgeon and my wounds are doing fine but the medtronic people need to look at the stimulator device to trouble shoot it and that will be the 3rd of August. Got some vitamins in and am working on a protein shake and might have cantaloup too if I can get it in. Woke up with a 92 blood sugar.....real happy with that! Thinking maybe tacos for lunch and just have it again for supper! I can only eat one usually so there will be plenty for both meals. I love my WLS ....the scale was a bit down this morning ...not much but enough to register. Well the rest of the day is waiting so see ya later!.....Jeff

Ok didn't have tacos because my son ate them so I had Chinese food from the mall and I ate about a third of what they gave me.bourbon chicken and peppered chicken with noodles. Also had some strawberries with truvia sweetener and cantaloupe too.didn't get in the other two shakes and I am as full as a wood tick so probably won't ! Got the rest of the vitamins in and walked in the mall...bought a new cardinals cap and several pins......Sleep well my pretty.....aaaaha ha ha.....

Hey Gang:

Roz, I swear I started out good.  I really did and then somewhere along the line things went SOUTH!!!! Yeah, I guess that was when I made the DH BLT's for lunch and then my WONDERFUL Momma invited us for dinner.

You know, that I know this is a TERRIBLE menu.  But I truly feel if I'm going to use M&M as an accountability tool its important that I am honest.  I'm struggling to find the right balance that is going to get me back to losing.  I hadn't drank my protein shakes in a while and since I started back again last week I'm in love all over again.  But then I feel like if I'm drinking 2 or 3 shakes a day plus my lunch and dinner then I feel like that's going to be too many calories.  I thought about it a lot today and I'm wondering why I can't make my shakes my main meals (B/L/D) and then include a late morning and a late afternoon snack of something like a couple bites of protein and a couple bites of a vegetable.  I really think I would be satisfied that way.  I'm going to crunch the numbers a bit more and go from there.  But I am open to any suggestions.

I think I let all this thinking get the best of me today.  So I had a bad day...I'm over it.

B:  chocolate protein shake 30g
S:  Tuna salad  5g
L:  3 thin slices of bacon, 1 slice of bread, smear of mayo
S:  Greek yogurt w/peaches
D:  5 bites of pork chop and a few bites of biscuits-n-gravy (all made by Momma from scratch)
S:  few more bites of a biscuit

If it makes anyone feel any better, the biscuits and gravy made me feel like crap.

Protein:  I stopped counting when I realized the carbs & fat had probably negated any protein.
Water:

I like your idea, Julie. Use the protein shakes as much as you can and nibble little snacks and take your vites with a little bit of food or shake. A meal replaced with a shake is a good thing, babeee! I try to do that during the workweek...weekends are a little freer.

Tornado sirens went off last night at 10:15pm... uprooted my sleepy daughter and we drove down the road to my sisters for safety-- (they have a  basement)- Tornado touched down within 3 miles of my house. Thank God for my  bro-in-law who upon the all-clear whistle- was able to  pick my sound-asleep 80# daughter off the floor and put her in my car for me! She was able to sleepy-walk back into our home and to bed OK.   My hubby was holed- up a few miles away at our church- safer for that group to all stay there till all clear than to try to get home.
Tough to get everyone up this AM though!
