Maybe get all that tvp in or I will do a protein drink.  might be a better choice. See you all tomorrow Carla

Well, so much for not snacking much today. I did nothing BUT snack...And it backfired on me. Made my pouchy really grouchy...I had a tummy ache this afternoon. But it was probably more because I got ticked off at lunch time than what I ate. Dealing with idiot people in the pet industry tends to do that to me, I guess.  So I also hit the sauce when I got home. Not so much that I'm crocked, yet. But I did open a wine cooler. I've had two sips and I feel pretty good. AND I can still type. Dinner soon so I'll be fine.  Breakfast: Malto meal, TVP and soy milk, coffee (of course) Snack: 1 oz cheese stick wrapped with one slice of roasted turkey breast lunch meat. Lunch: 5 oz of Cooked Shrimp and 2 oz of ****tail sauce. Yum.  Snack: 1 container of Dannon Yogurt (4 oz) and 1/2 serving of SF Toffee bits (1/8 cup is a half serving) Snack (then I went nuts): 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds, hulled, 1/4 cup Dark Chocolate covered Coffee Beans Dinner: about 5 oz of Pork Steak; mashed potatoes and corn and of course a 12 oz wine cooler. I'm gonna sleep tonight boy!  Totals for the day: Calories: 2004 Fat; 78 Carbs: 182 Protein: 134 I did okay even with the snacking. Tomorrow...More water, less snacking. Even if I have to drink coffee all day.

Well you numbers are get even if you snacked.. dont keep beating yourself over it.. I'm the only one that is allowed to do that..lol... you made some good choices for your snacks.. thats what counts right.  all you numbers are right in there.  youre doing great... now take a deep breath.. it will be ok. Carla

Hi Carla, I keep looking at fitday and thinking I must of forgot something......I feel like I ate more than that today but if I did it's slipped my mind because I can't think of what I might have missed. It's TOM for me and I want to really eat junk food, so far I'm avoiding it but about to say tough tonight and grab something crunchy........maybe I should go to bed, lol. April 17, 2008

excellent day for you... nice protein and all the numbers are right in there.. TOM can be a pain with the snack monster stay strong you can do it Carla

So did a little better on the protein today. I've got to get a better routine with working out when I'm working. It's hard working 12 hr nightshifts! I used to workout right after work and I would sleep like a baby. I've recently tried going home, sleeping til 4ish and waking up to go workout. Yeah...not working out for me. So, I'll go back to working out right after work even if I am tired as hell! I used to drink the Atkins shakes alot...the new Cafe latte ones. For some reason, they give my tummy the heebie jeebies. My stomach always gets a lil flustered with these but they taste good. The upside is whenever I need to go the bathroom....the Atkins shake is the key to success! I don't know what's going on with that. -Healthy choice meal: ate the meatloaf, mashed taters and green beans from it -1 plum, half pack of peanuts -few cantaloupe chunks -3 hot wings, 2 potato chunks, 1 pc. of sweet plantain -25g New Whey vial -Atkins shake -1/2c. tuna salad w/LF mayo on 1/2 whole wheat wrap w/LF shredded cheddar and lettuce -SF pudding for snack and some cooked string beans My estimates are: Cals 1220..not bad but wanted it to be less since I didn't work out.

Once I go home I hate going back to work out.. like to do it when I am already out so I dont have and excuse to get out of it.  much better protein today.  Try other protein drinks.  There has got to be something out there that doesnt get your tummy upset. great day there.. Carla
