Happy Easter!

Good evening BOTT friends,

 

Spent a gloriously leisurely day just reading and watching tv.  Family didn't get together as we usually do for holidays, but I was invited to dinner at my niece's.  The menu was enormous, and I politely bowed out.  I do believe I could've handled it at this point, but I was too lazy to get up and get dressed, put on my makeup, etc...you know the deal.

I have noticed a little something.  I never used protein bars throughout the years after my surgery.  I had tasted a couple in my first year post-op, but it was just a little piece of someone else's bar, and they offered it to me to try.  Since joining BOTT and seeing Tess's Quest bars, I have been eating them.  I've ordered twice and ran out the other day.  Let me just say that no, I don't work for the Quest company and I am not endorsing them over any other bar.

But I have found that when I don't have one, my head hunger is increased for the day.  I think, rather, I KNOW it's got to be the fiber, because they seem to keep me full longer than just my daily shake.  At any rate, it works for me, so I reordered tonight.  

I made a beautiful frittata for breakfast this morning.  I didn't get to eat a bite.  It was in the oven when I asked my granddaughter to take it out in 5 mins, which she did.  What I didn't realize is that I had left a stove burner on...and she put the frittata on that burner.  I was upstairs and smelled the most acrid odor!  My beautiful smoked salmon frittata was burned to a crisp on the bottom.  I had to toss the whole thing as there was no need in scraping off the top because the burned odor was penetrated through.  Oh well, such is life.....

 

Anyway, today I ate:

 

B:  1 c tuna salad, 2 ozs Taco Bell pintos and cheese leftover from last night

S:  protein shake made w/coffee and 1 tbsp half&half

L:  2 1/2 oz lean burger on sandwich thin, 1 sl cheese, mustard, 1 tbsp ketchup and a dill pickle

S:  apple slices, 6 ozs Light & Fit yogurt

D:  6 ozs grilled fish, 1/2 c brussels sprouts with parmesan and lite pomegranate dressing

 

Still working on my water for the day.  I hope everyone had fun with family and friends today, and sweet dreamzzzz tonight.

So sorry about your frittata.  I hate when I prepare a dish and something happens to it in the last five minutes.  I have to agree about the Quest protein bars.  They handle my hunger better than any other bar that I have tried.  They work for me.  Have a great day.
