I just wanted to say that I read this post all the time for ideas and inspiration since I struggle to eat right.  I can't eat dense protein and I cave into eating things that aren't as good for me, but are easier to get down and keep down.
Oh yeah, I don't get my water in and I don't get in "regular" exercise.  So, basically, I don't have anything to post

Now, that I have admitted all my short-comings....lol....I am interested in your Taco Soup - can you post the recipe??  It sounds interesting!!

Becky, I was gonna make this...http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/taco-soup-recipe/index.html

But... it was pouring down here and I couldn't get to the grocery store so I made do with what I had in the pantry.

2.5 lbs of ground beef
1 large chopped onion
4 chopped celery stalks
I cooked all of this first, then drained the grease
I then added the following: 
1 can pinto beans
2 cans diced tomatoes w/green chiles
2 cans diced tomatoes w/sweet onions
1 can whole kernel corn
1 can mixed vegetables
1 pkt of Hidden Valley ranch
1 pkt of taco seasoning
1 pkt of chicken taco seasoning
4 cans of beef broth(DH loves a lot of juice in his soup)

I cooked it for about 2 hours on low heat and it came out delicious!  My boys drained the juice off and ate theirs over fritos and my hubby ate his soupy with crackers.  I drained some of the juice off mine and added shredded cheese over the top.  You can add ingredients and take some off, just depends on what you like.

 Becky, you're my GIRL!!!!

HAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!

I had a high protein mac n cheese dealie from bariatricchoice.com that I could barely finish. That was about 11 o'clock.

I'm having a very small glass of wine right now and I'm thinkin' about a piece of cheese.

I definitely have had all my fluids-- I drink alot of crystal light.

I might sneak in an isopure later. . .

I made more of eggface's egg bites. They are my new favorite. A batch lasts several days so I'm thinking I'll try a new batch a week. The kids really love them also.

B: 2 1/2 philly cheesesteak egg bites w/ sour cream
S: none
L: none
S: hmm it's close to dinner time now...maybe a few peanuts
D: 3 or 4 small meatmalls in spagetti sauce, but if I eat the peanuts I will probably only be able to eat 2 meatballs so maybe no peanuts
S: light popped kettle corn  most likely
