Accountability - What did you eat, Sunday 6/17?

Good Day to All ... I want to thank everyone for posting yesterday, I'm sorry I did not post replies, I did not get to look at them until this morning - however, it did look like everyone worked really hard to stay on course and did a great job , I know many of us struggle with good behaviors on the weekend, congrats to everyone for keeping it under control !!! I'm feeling pretty good today...Started back to work, so no drugs on board today, so far is going okay, with minimal reminders that I am a recent surgery refugee ... Now for Sunday's food: Pre B - 3 ritz crackers              1 mini cherry kitkat B - peanut butter chocolate Oh Yeah? protein bar S - 2 ritz crackers L - 20 oz decaf sf/ff fv and caramel latte       3 shortbread cookies S - 2 ritz crackers D - 3 oz grilled salmon marinated in balsamic vinegrette       small slice toasted whole wheat french bread w/ butter       tomato, mozz, & basil salad drizzled with olive oil       2 roasted potato wedges S - 2 ritz crackers PLUS -  65 oz water/crystal light TOTALS  =  Cals - 1229   Fat - 60   Carbs - 91   Protein - 77 Those ritz are evil , I am totally blaming the nurse at the surgical center on getting me started on the cracker thing, she told me to have a couple with every dose of meds, of course I've been cutting back on the meds steadily since Friday, but not on the ritz ...Looking at Sundays numbers, definately could have done better on the protein in relation to the cals, now that I've given up my ritz fix this should get better... See ya'll later today...  Alesia      

Hey girl.  Glad you're feeling better - you sound like you're in good spirits (even if you are back at work)!!!!  You crack me up.  Here's my food journal: 1/4 c. light vanilla soy milk in 2 c. coffee B-1 slice reduced calorie toast with spray butter, 1 egg beater, 1 morningstar farms sausage patty S-Nectar Twisted Cherry L-1/2 Ham sandwich with 2oz. ham on red cal toast and mustard, 1 medium sized apple S-Profect Protein tube in water D-3 oz salmon, small red potato with spray butter, 1/2 c. broccoli S-1/2 c. 2% cottage cheese blended with 1/2 c. strawberries in the magic bullet, 1/2 Tablespoon of peanut butter Totals:  Calories:964    Fat:  21     Carbs:  83    Protein:  121

Hey Girl!! Salmon must have been a good deal all over NC since you and I both had it last night ...Yes, I'm feeling pretty fine today, made it into the after lunch time and still doin' good...Looks like you had a great food day on Sunday, I definately need to work on a way to keep the calorie numbers down while getting in good protein...How does that Profect stuff taste? I keep looking at it on Susan Maria's website but haven't decided to order it yet...Can you get it somewhere locally in Wilmington?  I get down there for business meetings every so often and it would be great if I could pick up just one to sample rather than having to order a bun*****ase I don't like it...Never tried strawberries and pb before, I do really like pb, does it remind you of anything in particular that I could relate to taste wise?

Chat with ya again soon, keep up the great job  Alesia

 

Hi.  I got these from GNC - actually they are called "New Whey" protein tubes - I just called them profect in fitday because the stats are the same.  I usually just grab one if I know I'm not gonna be at home - was at my mom's all day and at the pool.  The taste is too strong for me so I just add it to my water bottle and it tastes like weak Koolaide.  I had the fruit punch.  25 gms or 42 gms in a shot.  The lid screws back on so I figured I could half the 42 gram tubes when I try them.  The GNC in Mayfaire or by Sam's on College Road are my favorites.

Ha Ha.  I didn't have the p.butter with the berries.  I just wanted a taste before I went to bed and ate it off the spoon!!1 Yum.

 I'm dancin', dancin' in the streets ( do you know this song, its from the 70's hum along with me)...I'd raise my arms over my head for an up in the air woowhoo but I'm on strict orders from the doc to keep my elbows at my sides for a least a few more days... Congrats on bumpin' under 160, that is awesome, I'm sure you look simply mahhhvalous where you are, but can relate to wanting to see the magic number on a scale - don't worry, its a journey, you'll make it to your ultimate goal, just keep applying the same rules and remember whose in charge - I AM THE CAPTAIN, I AM THE CAPTAIN, that is your mantra

Until later...Alesia

Ah Carla, Definately think you CAN count the waterfall as exercise ...You're make me laugh when you remark on that icecream addiction, I could have an icecream addiction too if it didn't make me dump after a few bites, I can only handle about a  very small scoop of nsa or I get really , on the other hand, ritz are NO problem (LOL)...You did good on your food Sunday, even that dreaded fat really wasn't too bad, zap it a again today for good measure and you'll be back on track... Until tomorrow...Alesia
