What are you doing/eating today? Thursday!

What are EAS Advantedge Carb Control RTDs?  

RTD = Ready to Drink.  Basically pre-made protein shakes sold in tetra packs (very similar to the Atkins stuff).  You can get them at most grocery stores or drug stores.  EAS makes two types that I use - the EAS Carb Control and the EAS Myoplex Carb control.  The Myoplex has more protein and consequently, more calories.  They also sell Myoplex non-carb control, so look at the labels carefully.

I pretty much use these all the time now.  They generally have more protein for fewer calories than the Atkins shakes, and don't taste at all offensive.  I'm not big on cooking/experimenting and get most of my protein from food... but these boost it up to be sure I make the target.

I get mine at wal mart and they don't have to be refridgerated so they are great to have for "emergencies" and they only have like a hundred calories.

Our usual Thursday evening plans will apply tomorrow. We will have dinner out and then do our weekly grocery shopping. I always look forward to getting out of the house when I've been stuck in here for a few days. Food wont be all great choices tomorrow as dinner out will have to be cheap. We are budgeting in an extra dinner out on Friday night as we will be going to my surgeon's support group meeting two hours away.We also have a nice dinner at Logan's Roadhouse when we make this trip once a month.

Probably, my food will go like this:

Breakfast: Carbmaster Blackberry Yogurt
Nectar Protein Shake
Lunch: Tuna and egg salad with relish and light mayo
Snack: Maybe a laughing cow cheese wedge and a couple of Triscuits
Dinner: Probably the meat and cheese from a bacon cheeseburger, or a cup of chili

That's about it for me.

I received it today-- and thank you so very much! So many things I had wanted to try! It'll be shake-a-palooza! MWAHHH!

So glad it made it!!  And even more glad that somebody likes that stuff!!  I really did try as you can see....even tried your recipes as well as Nik's and no dice!  I am just glad that somebody will put it to good use.  Enjoy!!  Hope you are feeling a bit better!!!  I will look for the new shake recipes too...just to see your creative juices flowing!  You guys do amaze me with your ideas.  How did your fauxtato pancakes turn out?  Mine flopped...I think they need a bit of a binder.....what do you think?  Do tell!

I will be going to the gym after work I hope. The first day students come to school is today and the busses usually run very late. Teachers can't leave until after all students leave. And Back to School night at my older daughters school is at 6:25. But I am definitely walking over to her school.

I hope life gets better for you Shari - thinking 'bout ya! 

I finally was able to make it through a day w/o losing control.  I hate it when I have a series of bad habit days - makes me panic that I won't be able to pull it back together, ya know?  sheesh!

Didn't exercise this morning though - sooooo tired.  But, I'll live and will trudge through 'til tomorrow.  I'm ok w/it as long as the food stays under control.

S - peanut butter cookie protein ice cream
D - peanut butter frosty delight
S - maybe - if i'm hungry after "curriculum night" at my daughter's school - chocolite bar

Well, I got my new Bento lunch boxes in the mail last night and it has made me be a little more creative, a little more munchie but during this TOM I am happy to have good munchies.

So there, have some snacks!  I am looking forward to it though. Lately all I do is eat all morning and by 1 or 2 I have eaten most of my food and my hunger has gone.  That lasts till supper and I'm good to go!
