Trying to schedule my meals, water intake and exercise...
Jan 06, 2009
Since I've gone from liquid to puree I have been altering how I do things on a daily basis. I'm trying to find a way that satisfies my hunger and thirst as I get back into the swing of working, kids being back to school, getting to the gym and trying especially not to forget about my husbands needs!!I am going to give you some suggestions because I've learned this from talking and looking at other members sites so here it is:
I started a journal so I can see what works best. So far it seems that if start out in the morning by drinking and not eating it works better. I can get to the gym before work (arriving at the gym by 5:50am) so I am able to get in 40 minutes of walking on the treadmill and enough time to shower and get to work by 7:15am. I wait until 8am to eat breakfast, trying to change off with an egg with cheese, farina or yogurt. Off again to the drinking part by 9:15am until 11am so I can have lunch around noon. I made turkey meatballs in the oven with an egg, low fat shredded three cheese, garlic, S&P and a little ground ginger. Put it in the food processor with some FF Chicken Broth and tastes awesome. Also, pureed a can of sliced potatoes and sweet peas to make a tasty lunch. I haven't minded eating that the past few days for some reason. Back to drinking from about 1:15 until 3:15 when I leave work to head home to do the Mommy thing. Now is a little difficult since the kids are hungry so I get them a snack, helping with homework, making dinner for the family and trying to mix up dinner for me so I don't get bored. So dinner has been either tuna fish with 1tsp of light mayo or mustard and a 1oz piece of low fat cheese, low fat cottage cheese and light apple sauce, baked talapia fish with puree carrots, or some other thing that I whip up. Once again, waiting an hour to get in some more water.
I have been taking my liquid centrum in the am when I get up and liquid B Vitamins. In the evening I've been taking Pepcid and the calcium liquid. Am I forgetting something?? I don't know..but I'm sure I'll remember in the middle of the night when I wake up to goto the bathroom from drinking so much water!! LOL
