Calorie Countdown - Wiggly Wednesday

Wiggly if you are my cat. She has fleas, I have to go pick up some more Revolution tomorrow at the vet. Poor kitty cats, so abused. (NOT - they are super spoiled and we take better care of them than ourselves)

B - protein shake with mootopia

L - leftover chicken and leftover corn casserole

S - protein shake with mootopia

D - Thai, probably a spring roll (the fried kind yes) and some chicken tom yum soup

Wednesday is officially the night we do not cook at home. Its my longest day and Ryan stays at the lab all day working online. Wednesdays are just going to be bad. Bad Bad Bad.



Bad.

I know I'm negative lately, sorry. I'll snap out of it. Or not. Probably not until I graduate actually.

So just ignore the bad mood and post your food Or not. Its up to you, but that's what this post is here for - so others can see how post-ops at different stages of the game are losing or maintaining their weight.

I've found it very educational and its given me some food ideas. I hope it does the same for others, take care! Have a good wiggly Wednesday.

OK I'll ignore the bad moooooooood!    I am going to start posting each day - lets see how long that lasts lol.   Sorry about the cat with the fleas no fun I am sure.   



As for my food here goes:



Coffee on my way to work!



B - Fage yogurt w/Kashi



L - grilled chicken , grilled veggies & cottage cheese



S - cheese stick



D - steak and salad (going out to eat!)



S - sugar free fudge or popsicle.....



Water - 6 16.9oz bottles (as of right now I have had 5) so thats 101.4 plus the coffee and maybe some hot tea!







Can I ask does anyone ever eat the Atkins Advantage Bars - the ones that are 240 calories and 18 grams of protein?    I did buy them and thought they were pretty good and have had then for breakfast a couple of days.   How about the South Beach Diet bars that are 140 calories and I think 10 grams of protein?   Anyone use them?



Have a great rest of the day!

I very much like the Atkins bars - especially the ones with the higher fiber amounts. Some of them have like 11g fiber! Jus****ch the sugar alcohols - they can make you gassy or make you run to the bathroom if you are very sensitive to them.

I don't think I've tried the South Beach ones, but I do usually keep an Atkins or a Myoplex bar (which are also good but farty) on me at all times just in case I have a blood sugar crash, like I did today, except today I didn't have any food on me because I left my bag in my office. Smart. I was weaving around like I was drunk, but without the fun part... being drunk.

How awful for you. Isn't that the pits? The feeling is bad enough, but not being able to fix it right away - you need a HUG!  (((((Jenn)))))

Maybe you can also find something that would fit in a pocket. Are there protein versions of the diabetic emergency candy? Or even a piece of jerkey?

I've had that feeling myself if I get too busy at work and haven't eaten, but not been caught too far away from my desk so I can remedy the situation by eating a bar or having a drink. I don't stray too far from my desk due to fatigue issues, but I can see that as I get more active and don't scurry back to rest so often, I could get "caught." 

And bars are a great emergency food idea. I'm going to stick some in my desk and some in my bag.

I've never tried the Atkins ones, but I have been eating the South Beach ones a lot lately. I say a lot - a 1/2 of one each day or so for the past few days. I love them. I'll have to try the Atkins ones.

I can't eat a whole Atkins bar...too much for me. 

I do however eat the South Beach Diet High Protein Cereal Bars.  They have 10g protein and for 10G, they are portable, pretty affordable, and they also have fiber in them and low sugars.  That's my choice for breakfast every morning and I don't get sick of them.  I leave a box of them in my car and eat one every day on the way to the gym.  If I get stuck and can't eat lunch, I've got that covered too.

Pre B - SF NF Brown Sugar Cinnamon Latte

B - ham, cheese, RF triscuits

S - 2 rye crisps

L - Bumble bee FF tuna kit, edamame

S - 1 WW chocolate cake, NF SF Root Beer float, made with SF root beer syrup and nonfat milk over ice (wow am I bad, eating because of my emotions)

D - pork chop, unsweetened applesauce, some kind of veggie

S - not much I hope! maybe an apple

If there is EVER a time where no one should say a damn thing about eating because of your emotions, now is that time for you.  You are doing fantastically and will continue too. So many people (including me probably) would have gone for the real root beer float and other stuff. Take it easy on yourself *hug*
All the best!

You are entitles to be cranky once in a while.  We'll give you a pass for now! 

B - Unjury chocolate shake

S - 1 oz cheddar cheese

L - meat from two arby's roast beef sandwiches

s - sbd protein bar

d - ??? I took out a rump roast but I think that will have to wait until tomorrow to be cooked.  It will take a good 1.5 hours and I'm going to church tonight.  tsk, tsk, tsk 

edited to add...
Got that rump roast cooked.  Had Karl put it on before coming to church @ 300 degrees and it was so good.  All the pieces that were cut right.  Somehow Karl got the roast turned and cut with the grain on a few pieces.  Doh! 

Oh, and I ate a whole heirloom tomato.  It was so fantastic!  A little kosher salt, fresh cracked black pepper and a little sprinkle of oregano!!!!  Soooooo good!

Sorry-- been busy as hell with school!
