Accountability - Tuesday.

It is still Tuesday isn't it? Whew...This was one long LONG day. And now my pouch is alittle sore...What did I do? Oh, rice...pouchy hates rice and I give it to her anyway...sigh. I get what I deserve...a sore pouch.

Here's how my day stacked up. But remember, I'm trying to gain alittle and still not gain. The minute I really do start to gain, I'm crying like a baby..

Had a crazy day at work so I didn't do the numbers but I'll tell you anyway  at least what I do know Protien shake with Blueberries gotta keep the brain working 2 cups coffee with french vanilla creamer  don't measure  1 Hard boiled egg 1 cup of chili from Chili's  yogurt with 1/4 cup cheerios 100 cal snack Slim fast carmeals dinner was one over easy egg and  1/2 a cup of a southern speciality called Boudin (don't want the calorie count on that one I only get it when my parents come to visit) May have an evening snack but right now I'm full so well see.  I only try to feed the beast when I'm really hungry but not too hungry.    Sorry I'm just a little punchy tonight.  I think I'm really very tired.   I may try to add it all up later......much later

I think I saw something on the food channel about Boudin...If your parents have a recipe, share it. I'm all for confusing people about just where in the world I'm from..I've been known to make Matzo Ball Soup and Challah a couple of times..And then Homemade Manicotti..Then Chicken Mole...Keeps em guessing.  Looks good. Chili is really a great option. The beans and the meat. I love it. I hold the district record in our Chili Cookoff. Mmmm.  I bet if you did the counts on that it would be about 80 protein and "maybe" 1000-1200 calories...Keep up the good work.

      hi dawn, here is what i had for tuesday. i did just add some trail mix. i wanted something chewy.i think i did very well today. when i went past our work where the free day old donuts are at i said NO... you cant have them. i do ususally take a few and yes i do eat them. so this is going to be hard to say no each time. i mean no one is saying here have one but my new habit is to say NO to the donuts....      Anita B- oatmeal ( 0.33 serving )     46     1     8     2 tvp textured vegetable protein 1/4 cup ( 1 serving )     80     0     7     12 skim milk ( 1 serving )     80     1     11     8 Water ( 24 fl oz )     0     0     0     0 Water ( 24 fl oz )     0     0     0     0 water ( 16 fl oz ) water ( 16 fl oz ) L- Egg, whole, boiled ( 2 large )     154     11     1     13 rasberry cheesecake fluff ( 1 serving )     185     3     17     10 kraft singles white american cheese ( 1 serving )     60     5     2     4 gwaltney chicken bologna ( 1 serving )     100     7     4     4 S- Gelatin dessert, dietetic, sweetened with low calorie sweetener ( 0.5 cup )     9     0     1     1 D- Turkey, NFS ( 3 oz, boneless, cooked )     175     8     0     24 S - at work- this was before supper- power crunch peanut butter fudge ( 1 serving )     200     12     10     13 Night snack- sam's choice indulgent trail mix ( 0.5 serving )     85     5     9     2 sam's choice mountain trail mix ( 0.5 serving )     75     4     7     3 Total     calories 1250     fat 55     carbs 76     protein 95 16 oz coffee 80 oz water

Congradulations on saying NO to the donuts. That is awesome! For saying no to a donut, you should reward yourself with the trail mix...AWESOME! One step at a time.  Numbers are good too! I have to applaud your choices and your numbers.

the scale was saying this morning 148 and 149 pounds... yeah....  i am trying to eat right on a budget... i like to try some custurd guess thats good in protein and a dessert... hee hee...

I bought those sugar free pudding cups by Hunts, I believe...Those help. I don't think they have much protein in them but if I sprinkle the TVP on them it's a nutty topping and don't taste bad.

hmmm i do have sf cooked cho pudding and some instant pudding.. i will have to try that tvp on my pudding.. i sure love it on my oatmeal. it seems like it takes me longer to eat my oatmean with the tvp in it plus i do put 1/4 cup skim milk in it also.

I'm too lazy to make my own pudding but I do have some in the cupboard that I could make if I catch a wild hare. Right now, because refrigerator space is at a premium because we need to have cold drinks...I buy the little pudding cups. a dollar for four isn't bad and they don't need refrigeration until you open them...when I open one, it's gone. That and my soy milk too. I keep all those quarts on the floor behind the dining room table until I need one in the fridge. I'm moving my life toward stuff that can be considered emergency food..LOL.

i love the cooked cho. pudding it tastes so different then the instant. i will have to pick up some sf pudding cups amd try my tvp in it... i have tried soy milk. that is good. i had cho soy milk at Aldis. yum...
