My Oar is broken. What are YOU eating?

Have you ever seen the cartoon of the naked largish woman staning on her scale with a gun pointed at it? That's me.  Last week I was encouraged enough to say I had lost 2 1/2 lbs, but it's back. I could have something to do with my topic from yesterday (bloating), but I'm not so sure. I'm a little disheartened, but will keep on keeping on. I may have to go to work in my nightgown if I don't start losing something.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I personally like Annette's the best, but since I can't get any dynamite, I'm going for prunes and Benefiber. I bought the little individually wrapped ones Candy suggested, not too fond of them, but I tell myself they're just big soft raisins.

Here's the day:

latte

bkfst--oatmeal w/ chopped almonds and a spoonfull of peanut butter with flax seeds

snack-- orange and a prune

lunch--  lean cuisine baked chicken

s--???

d--leftover pork chop w/ grilled onions and sauerkraut

Hope you all have a good one!

B-Boost High Protein Drink

S-string cheese

L-turkey and cheese roll up and cherry tomatoes

D-talapia and green beans

Hugs and love....connie d

I'm cooking up a bunch of salmon this morning.  Think I'll hard boil a few eggs to have on hand, too.

B:  cottage cheese and fruit

L:  tossed salad and salmon, chick peas, a little lite raspberry vinaigrette dressing.  Maybe one of the hard boiled eggs. (no chick peas, no egg, just mixed lettuce and 4 oz salmon and dressing)

D:  salmon patties.  Maybe a small sweet potato.  I think there's one hanging out in the cupboard. Ate the salmon patties, total about 6 oz of salmon.  Two little bites of sweet potato and I was full.

Snacks continue to be low fat cheese sticks, ff/sf yogurt.  Maybe an apple and some peanut butter.  Only ate the 2 cheese sticks.

Came home and ate 5 dried prunes.  I need them....

That's my story, and I'm (hopefully) sticking to it.

My diet is getting boring.  I"m going to make Laureen's Italian Wedding Soup this weekend, and maybe try a crustless pizza.

No more pizzelles.  I took them ALL to work.  The officers love them, and it gets them out of the house.....

It was a GOOD day!

It happens to us all. The Benefibre sticks seem to help me but I use 3 a day.

Yesterday, while putting away a last Chrostmas gift bag, I came across ten Hershey's dark chocolate w/ almonds at the bottom that Id forgotten....Before I knew what happened, I'd eaten them all...then a heavy blanket of guilt descended. 

But I stopped it there and just ate a tiny piece of steak about 3 inches square for dinner..that was enough... and then had my bedtime snack of a hot chocolate protein drink tho I was first tempted to skip it.

This morning I get weighed and I'm down again... two pounds! what a shock & relief. 

Now I'm headed to do my "water jogging" and I'm back on track..can't let those small mistakes (my first one is 4 weeks) lead me down the wrong path again.  I USED to say, "well I blew that so why bother..I will start NEXT week!"  No more of that, I'm determined.

Today's menu:

B   hot chocolate protein drink (done)

S   banana stuffed w/ peanut butter (done)

L   homemade soup (when I get back from swimming)

S   cheese & crackers

D   green salad w/ chicken thigh meat, shredded carrots, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, slivered almonds & Renees Light poppyseed dressing

S   hot chocolate protein drink

Lunch -  Proetin drink

The oatmeal & flax seed would work like dynamite for me.

Do you like stewed prunes? Kind of yummy to me and works fast.

Breakfast - still can't make myself eat this.

Lunch - roasted chicken with mushroom sauce and mixed vegetables (left over from last night)

Dinner - Hmmm.  It's cold and wet and windy and weird outside.  Maybe soup?  I'll update

Snack - I got rid of all the Wheat Thins.  I can't stay away from them.  An open box is an empty box.  I have some boring old pretzels that I'll dip in a good mustard, and maybe I'll also have a cheese stick.
