TGIF Accountability

Yep, it's me already! I'm working first shift today and doubt I'll be on the computer later so I'm posting this now. I just want to be accountable for what I'm eating. B~ 1 HB egg & WW yogart S~ Cucumber slices with S&P L~ Grilled chicken breast, cheese, red onion, lettuce and ff mayo in a LC wheat wrap & raw broccoli dipped in FF ranch. S~ SF Vanilla pudding D~ Smart One's Frozen dinner. S~ I'm going out today so a lite Beer and an "adult drink" will be my snack. I have enough points to enjoy the night! Have a great weekend Kay

I am back from a week in LA where I ate pretty well but had too much wine - every night was another series of parties. I did overload on cheese as that was typically the most protein oriented option offered. And most days I got in a protein shake, thank goodness for Starbucks! chicken salad egg whites with goat cheese about to have a protein shake dinner: ?? am headed to the grocery store, will see what I find in the deli. I am hoping they have turkey meatloaf or a white bean salad Today I had some out patient surgery to remove a shard of glass from my arm. At my July 4th party someone dropped one of my heavy goblets which shattered - as I was cleaning it up I slipped and thought I had just a cut. Nope. It was not healing so I went to the dr who said the bump was just infection. After a week on antibiotics there was a sharp edge and I could not dig it out....so I had to go to a plastic surgeon. It is sore and I have 3 stitches. And had to pay $1000 (my insurance sucks!) No more travel in the coming months so I hope to post more as I have not met my summer goal to drop 10 lbs and need to better watch my eating and exercise. My job search has intensified and my suits are a wee bit tight. And yes, I did experience the earthquake which was freaky. It felt like the building had been hit by a truck, I was just about tossed out of my seat in a restaurant and lots of broken stuff. Have a great day, ~Tiffany

Aww sorry to hear about your arm, hope it heals up fast! Hugs!

B: coffee L: blt (w/fat free mayo and light bread, so not too bad), baked chips (1/2 serving only!) S: I had some samples at sam's club including a piece of protein bar which was nasty!) D: chicken breast, and probably some green beans maybe Don't want to eat anymore after that but it's only 5pm and I still have to eat the dinner and then I have the whole night open. Bri is working and I'm not going out so I stay away from alcohol... so that leaves many hours for snacking! Help! Did 30 mins of cardio and nautilus. Maybe I can take the dogs for a walk when the snacking hits. How do you guys handle the late night cravings? I never really had them until the last couple of mos! Renee

Thanks for your well wishes...the incision is pretty sore tonite. When I have enough protein during the day I dont get the evening cravings for munchies. I have found a direct connection there. So maybe add in a shake or something or have protein snacks handy. And dont forget how important it is to have breakfast. Tiff

Hi all, I missed you all last night, got called in to work for overtime....but I am here tonight and ready to post for today. B- cabbage salad, seafood salad, and a few cheese squares. S- couple handfuls nuts, seeds, and raisins trail mix. L- pork roast in a little gravy with some mexican rice. S- more trail mix and a banana. D- more pork roast with some peas. liquids are good today....about 80 oz of water and coffee, I decided that the diet sodas were not helping so I am cutting those out again, and have already dropped 2 pounds....I can't walk much here but I am going to try my best to get out of my cave to help the nurses some Take care all, Steph

Nice to see you, stephanie! Thanks for posting.

Thanks Kay.... I am trying to make a more conscious effort to be here and post my accountability..so far it is helping me make a better effort to do more to make healthful choices in my diet. I hope to see more of you all!! Ok except that I am leaving this coming Friday to California for 2 weeks....I will not be able to post then cause my sister in law has no computer. Take care Kay!!
