Hey Alesia!!  Did you think I disappeared????  Well, I did. No, I was on vacay in the Outer Banks and then off all last week.  I have NOT been the model WLS patients for this past 1 1/2 weeks but I am back and started tracking food again yesterday.  I feel so much more in control doing this!!!  The one small miracle is that I lost 1/2 pound and when I used to go on vacation I would sometimes gain 10!!!  I have been more active though so that's a start.  Back to the healthy choices for me - and I've actually missed them!!! Have fun tonite :) 2 c. coffee with ff creamer B-2 slices Canadian Bacon, 1/2 c. scrambled eggs S-Nectar protein drink L-Salad with zesty lemon tuna pouch, 1/4 c. chickpeas, 2 T. Newmans light balsamic and 2 T. Lite done right 3 cheese ranch S-mozzarella stick D-1 oz. boiled shrimp, 2 oz. Ahi Tuna, 1/4 c. spinach and mushrooms, 1/4 c. broccoli S-1/2 skinny cow ice cream sandwich (can't wait till these are gone), 1/2 detour protein bar TOTALS:   Cals - 1091  Fat - 35   Carbs - 67        Protein - 123

WoooWhoo Connie, you had another GREAT day !!! I'm proud of you girl, you are doing awesome, Cals , protein too...  No gym, got rained out by thunder and lightening, closed water aerobics...Will try again on Friday... Alesia

Hi Alesia! I'm so glad you get to go back to water aerobics ... there is something so gratifying about being in the water!  I love it!   For me yesterday: B-- 2 scrambled eggs, 1/2 slice whole wheat toast L-- 1/2 ham and cheese sandwich, 8 strawberries, 1/2 serving Sun Chips S-- 1 small chocolate chip cookie, 10 cherries D-- I couldn't get down the steak I made so I ate a protein ball instead S after gym-- part of a burrito with veggies and beans Calories:  1166        Carbs:  115          Protein:  51 OK, not a great day ... I needed more calories because I put in 1 hour at the gym in a kick-boxing class.  I should have eaten more!  For some reason the smell of that steak cooking yesterday made me all pukey feeling.  And no, I am NOT pregnant!  But the smell of things is getting to me today too ... I don't know what my problem is.  Usually I want to eat everything in sight and today my stomach is feeling blue.  The smell of foods is turning my stomach.  Oh well, we'll see what happens! Deanna

Hi Deanna, Man that sucks about the smells, but I know what you mean, sometimes I can't each just because the smell turns me off, although this has never happen with any meats for me except when I was prego ( since you're not, no worries there )...

It was still a good food day and if you work like I do, your body will want to make up for the shortfall from yesterday by craving more today, if you can work it in just eat a few more cals and protein today...It will all balance out fine, I'm sure...

 I do love the water, unfortunately, I'm canx for tonight, rained out by thunder and lightening...Will try again on Friday... See ya...Alesia
