Rain went away and we have blue skies today.  Maybe a brisk walk is on the agenda for you.  If so, be sure to take plenty of water.  Woke up late so running behind on everything.  However I took time to plan my menu and journal.  Tuesdays are meeting nights for me so exercise usually suffers.  Therefore planning for Monday's and Wednesday's to exercise are a must.
Hope you have a great Tuesday.  Here's what I ate yesterday, what about you?

You may have thought I was drunk yesterday as I posted with the wrong date but wasn't drunk, alcohol has too many calories.  I am preferring food right now.
Did ok yesterday, exercised first, took my vitamins drank my water.  Got in a snacking mood but got it under control.  Hope all of you had a great Saturday and an even better Sunday.
This is what I ate.  Did you follow your plan?  If so tell us what it was.

Jumping for joy today.  When children get tired they whine and cry.  When I get tired, I eat, eat and overeat.  Yesterday I just acted like a good child and went to bed. 
How did your day go and what did you eat yesterday?  This is my story and I'm stickn to it.

Glad u checked n Jeanie.  I was hoping things were going ok with your ankle.  There is nothing like a good DH.  Is everything with your band going ok?  I plan to see my surgeon or somone in his office some time next month when I go to a summer feeding progarm near their office to do bookwork.  Happy that therapy is helping you in your recovery.
Take care,

 Checkin' in.  It's been hard to get on here this week.  Staying online for very long is a little tiring, but I do continue to think about eating right.  Back on track with vitamins. Biggest shortfall is probably getting in enough water.  Getting up & down in such a pain in the neck or foot, I should say, I probably subconsiously fail to get in all the liquids so that I don't have to be up so often.  That said, here's what yesterday looked like:
B. After therapy, Wild Eggs- 1 egg over light, 1/2 everyday muffin, 3 bites of grits, water
L. Green salad- delicious (thanks to hubby)
D. An old favorite, ground beef, rice, tomatoes, yellow pepper, onion , cheese- YUM
Snacks: 3-4 oz. vanilla/chocolate ice cream, 10 mini pretzels

Getting more & more exercise with therapy.  Seeing my Lapband surgeon in a couple of weeks.
