W & V - on track

I'm feeling a bit hungry today, so I've already had a snack!  My weight was down a bit this week, so I may be under-eating.  I haven't had my piece of birthday cake yet.  I was too stuffed with my main course on the birthday, and I've been saving it as something to look forward to.  Maybe this weekend!  Ah, the games we play with ourselves to stay on track!

Breakfast - salmon

Snack - broccoli slaw

Lunch - meatballs with parmesan cheese

Dinner - buffalo chicken with wheat thins

vitamins - on track

water - good

exercise - recumbent bike - my fit bit is motivating me to get going on this again.

Can you exercise at a different time of day?  I'd have issues doing anything if I had to wake up at 4:30 for it!

1: frankenshake + ralstons
2: unclear at the moment, something hot
3: graze box during class
4: protein shake on drive home

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: 33:50 running for a total of 1.85 miles, 30 minutes yoga (intermediate stretches for runners), 24:50 lifting (NROL break-in B)

I may be able to do a little exercise at night after the kids are in bed, but honestly, I'm usually so worn out by then that I can't muster the energy. I already get up at 5 and I don't sit down except at a computer for work or to drive until about 8. Sometimes not even then. I try to be in bed by 9. I'm hoping that if we get a bow flex that perhaps my husband will be motivated and we can do something together in the evenings before bed. If he is motivated I will be too.

What is Ralstons?

It's a whole grain hot cereal like oatmeal. I add a few tablespoons of it, cold, to my shake. 

I'm only 3 1/2 weeks post-op si I've just started the soft solids portion of our diet... still learning what I can tolerate and what tastes good!

B:part of my protein shake with added ice

L: 1 egg over easy (first time having - worked good, tasted good - sat well)

D: probably left over homemade chili or can of progresso lentil soup

S: SF popcicle or protein pudding pop (depends on protein for day total)

W & V: on track

E: planning on a walk again. between 2.29 & 3 miles atleast

Enjoy that chair!  We got a fancy leather MedLift chair before our sugeries last year and it has a massage feature,  my husband still using the heck out of that chair.

B:  syntrax nectaor protein drink

L:  skirt steak, caprese salad

D:  skirt steak, green bean/tomato salad

W & V:  on track

E:  only 8800 steps so far today - stressful day today
