Accountability Friday
Oatmeal is one thing you can add protein to. Either powdered protein or TVP. The TVP adds 12 grams of protein for 1/4 cup of it and it tastes a bit nutty. I like it. Most mornings I add a 1/2 cup to my oatmeal turning it into over 30 grams of protein for simple oatmeal cooked in soy milk...Not bad for oatmeal.
Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

Good choices...How are those Smart One's meals. I did those pre surgery but when I shop for them they look like the carbs (pasta, rice) are a bit much...I stay away from pasta expressly but I do rice occasionally (like the stuffed bell peppers we had a couple nights ago, yumo)
Great numbers for you today. Keep up the good work.

S: 1/2 pure protein bar & rest of lunches edamame
D: soy nut trail mix about 1/3 cup

OH I hate that..I've been doing that. Up until 10:30-11 o'clock at night and back up at 4:00 am...Yikes. The sleep deficite is growing by leaps and bounds. I'm not sure what is up with me. On the weekends, it's alright cuz I can grab a nap but that makes me cranky cuz I'm not getting what I need to get done DONE>..
Love those SBD mixes..
I think your numbers should basically rock for Friday..YOu did really good. Now, those three glasses of wine will definitely help you sleep but as long as you aren't hitting that bottle each and every night...I'm not gonna say anything. LOL.

Hi all--glad it's the weekend 
Yesterday's fuel:
B: Chocolate nut protein ice cream
S: kashi honey almond flax bar
L: shrimp sauteed w/ mixed vegetables
S: 1/2 kashi honey almond flax bar and 2 tsp. of cashew macadamia butter sandwiched between two corn thins
D: 5 oz. filet mignon (I exercised hard for an hour and was SO hungry)
S: 1 cup light popcorn
Lots of protein so I was very pleased. I also got about 3 liters of water in--hooray! Hope everyone is having a great Saturday.
