What are you eating/doing today? Thursday.

At work now, have to hit Walmart on the way home.  Nothing else really exciting planned, I may take Zeus for a walk tonight provided I can walk myself lol.  Here's the plan:

Pre-B: Click Frapp (30g)
B: Kashi Heart to Heart Cereal with milk (14g)
S1: 3 Babybel Light cheese & Special K crackers (24g)
L: Turkey & Muenster on an Arnold Sandwich thin with pickled okra (28g)
S2: Salad (spring mix, cucumbers, carrots, shredded cheese) with Lite Caesar dressing (I blame the divas for my new addiction to this dressing lol)
D: not sure yet, will edit later

Hello everybody, hope you are all having a great day. I just talked to somebody yesterday who was thinking about WLS and pointed him to this board :) I also heard from another friend that her surgery had been approved!

1) 1/2 arnold thin w/ cream cheese and sf strawberry preserves (this is so good. I'm obsessed)
2) coffee and cream
3) ham & cheese triangles my mom made for a party. They are on white bread (ughh) but she had so many left, she kinda forced me to eat one or two.
4) leftover 1/2 of my chic-fila wrap from yesterday. Think I will take the wrap off though because of the white bread from earlier.
5) maybe some click?
6) idk what's for dinner. May take mom to the seafood place. we can split a plate of their special and come out for under 10$
No snack if we go out.

Good for you for spreading the news! And congratulations to your friend who was approved!

I love your idea for using the sandwich thins like a bagel! I will definitely have to try that.

Ok, just gotta comment on the arnold thin, cream cheese, preserves thing.  I kept reading that you were eating this, but I never have cream cheese in the house to try it.  So I hit the store last night, picked up some cream cheese and a fresh jar of preserves (triple berry) and made one last night.  OMG!  I could seriously become addicted to these things!!!  Yummmo!

I know right? I just tried it one time when I was out of peanut butter and my eyes rolled back in my head, lol!

Funny, I have all that stuff at home and now I'm gonna have to try it too! 

I do this on rice cakes--- try salsa too!

B: big ole glass of 1% milk (had to be 10 oz or more. mmmmmm)

B2: shari's griddle thing. omg. just too good. dh likes them too!

S: chips and salsa?  something like that I'm sure

L: roast beef and swiss on 2 slices of healthy lifestyle bread

S: pure protein bar

D: left over chix and dumplings (we are going outta town and I ain't cookin)

lns: something bad. lol  probably a klondike bar (the no sugar added ones) or something, maybe some carob haystacks *til I can figure out a protein version.  can't figure out binder, should i use cocoa or melt sugar free chocolate??*

once i see the numbers I can figure out what else I need protein wise...so snack might change in midday or I'll add something else.

Today is going to be a long day. I have six hours of class starting at 10 AM, then a meeting with my scholarship coordinator, and then I'm babysitting at 7. I'm trying to decide whether or not to swing by a support group meeting. It's from 6 to 7, but I'd have to leave at 6:30 to make it to my babysitting gig. Since my favorite part of support group is chatting with people afterwards, I'm not sure if it's worth it. But at the same time, I'm trying to go to support group whenever possible, simply because it's predominantly band patients, and I like to show that there is an alternative. Any opinions, anyone?

I'm implementing my trainer's suggestion of eating more calories and being strict about eating every 2.5 to 3 hours. It might be tricky because of my class schedule today, but I'm giving it my best shot.

Pre-B: (I'm supposed to start each day with some fruit.) Fake iced latte (N.O. Brew coffee + 1% milk + sugarfree caramel syrup) and a half a banana
B: Half a sandwich thin toasted with peanut butter and possibly the other half of the banana
S: 1/4 dry roasted edamame and 1/4 cup grapes -- eaten during a class break
L: PB&J on a sandwich thin, 1/4 cup grapes -- also eaten during a class break
S: 1/4 cup nuts (almonds and pecans), 2% string cheese
D: Chick Fil A southwest chargrilled salad -- I am finally going to get to have this!
S: Not entirely sure. We'll see if I need one based on how late I'm up. Possibly a small protein shake depending on how my tallies look.

Have a great Thursday, everyone! It's almost Friday, and then it's the long weekend!!!

Isn't it Friday at 5:00 yet?  Seriously.... I'm longing for the weekend.  

I have two weeks left to my Advertising class and my professor posted assignments for both this week AND next (not sure if it was a mistake or not).  So I'm taking advantage of the forewarning and going to plow through as much as I can today and tomorrow - then probably devote a big chunk of time on Saturday to more schoolwork so I can enjoy the rest of the weekend without worrying about school.  Also need to contact the Dean to figure out what the deal is with my degree program since it's been changed and I'm not sure if I have to change my plan with it or if I'm grandfathered in and can stick with the old plan.  New quarter starts in a couple weeks, so I'd like to get that straightened out soon.

Today's eats:

Commute -- protein chai tea
Arrive at work -- fake latte
Breakfast -- yogurt w/ blueberries
Lunch -- McD's Southwest Chicken Salad
Snack - grapes & cheese
Dinner -- roast beef w/ veggies
LNS -- ??
