Accountability - Tuesday

Well, the countdown begins for Christmas. I am so sure I'm short of gift basket filler than I'm worried about it...Maybe I can make a couple quick batches of fudge tomorrow and some banana bread. I have two mushy bananas that need to go...OCD? 

My list for the day:

B: oatmeal, tvp, soy protein, soy milk, apple sauce, coffee

S: Coffee, SF Candy (from that Russell Stovers box)

S: 1/4 cup honey roasted peanuts

L: 4 oz ceviche, 16 whole grain crackers, 1 Tablespoon Reduced Sugar Peanut Butter

S: Coffee Muffin, Coffee

D: 5 oz fish, 1/4 cup mashed potato

Totals for the day:

Calories: 2125
Fat: 98.2
Carbs: 205.2
Protein: 123.1

A bit high on the calories but I think I included all the snacks I got today..I didn't drink enough water and when that happens, I generally eat too much. I swear, I still can't tell the difference between hunger and thirst signals...What is it about that? I got 64 ounces of water and probably 50 ounces of coffee and NSA Swiss Miss.

How did you do today? Wish me luck on the gift baskets. If I have anything left over, I'm taking it to my sister's house so I can get my family to eat it...LOL>

Have a Merry Christmas, everyone!

I am soooo happy that it's almost over. I love christmas but the last couple days are always crazy! I'm off tomorrow so I'm sleeping in then going to the store for 1 thing then I'm staying home the rest of the day!

I had a good eating day...

Breakfast:
3 strips of turkey bacon
1 whole wheat english muffin with spray butter

Snack:
Boiled egg

Lunch:
1 Cup of chili w/ a lil shredded cheese

Snack:
2 chocolate covered cherries

Dinner:
Smart One's frozen dinner
1/2 an orange

Snack:
NSA Yogart

I know! I'm so done with the whole season...Tired. I've been going to bed about 7 pm and getting up at 3 am...I need to get back to my normal schedule.

Your list is good today. I have a recipe for English Muffins for my bread maker. LOL. I'm chomping to warm up the kitchen today. It's only 7:30 and I've made 2 pounds of fudge and 3 small loaves of banana bread. AND I'm looking to make some Strawberry bread too. I have a canister of dehydrated strawberries that I really wanna use. LOL.

I'm thinking chili is in order for the day after Christmas. Christmas is breakfast: lefse, lunch is snacking on goodies, dinner is honey baked ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potato rolls, green beans...

Keep up the good work. See ya!

so i ate next to nothing but i did get in lot of tea and caf free coke w ice.

b;2 or 3 bites of a yummy omelet crab,cheese and bacon just got full fast. had one bite of a pumpkin spic muffin and gave the rest to my bff. he can eat 10 of them adn not gain anything.

I feel as if my old new tummy is back can only hold a few bites of things and i am stuffed.

I'm hoping my pouch kicks in on New Years for the new year...I've been really awful this Christmas.

Looks like your list was good anyway..Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas!

2008 has been really hard for me so I'm really ready to see what 2009 has for me..It's got to be better. Merry Christmas to you also!

Hopefully the abdominal issues are nothing serious. Good luck!

Hi and happy holidays!

What is tvp?  I was reading your accountability post and can't figure it out....thanks in advance.

TVP is Textured Vegetable Protein or Textured Soy Protein. You can find it several places but you have to look around. I found it on line at harmonyhousefoods and they have it flavored like taco meat, ham and chicken..But the plain is good for malto meal or oatmeal. I also put it on top of cottage cheese, pudding or yogurt. It adds a nutty crunchy texture to those.
