Is anyone interested in doing this???? Check it out!

Is anyone interested in doing a '"accountability thread"? Everyday log what you ate the day before... WLS grads do it and I thought it would be cool for us to do it. Also will give eachother ideas what were all eating. Who ever logs on first in the mornings can start it. I thought it sounded kinda cool. Check out the WLS grads thread... Here is a example of my day yesterday.. B- Protein bar S- NOTHING L- 3 oz steak, 3 bites of mash potatos, 3 bites of green beans (Texas Roadhouse) S- 3 bites of my daughters "cold stone " ice cream... I PAID FOR IT! Never again! S- 1 piece of frozen supreme pizza Drank most of my water... took all my vitamins.. not the best day.

Sure I am game! Thanks for the idea! I need so new menu ideas! I am tired of eating chicken!! lol Here is what I had yesterday: Breakfast: Protein powder mixed with water Lunch: (breakfast food for lunch) 2 Scrambled eggs with chesse and 2 slices of veggie bacon..not as bad tasting as I thought it would be Dinner- Fried Chicken Salad, with eggs (1 half boiled egg), bacon bits (1 teaspoon), cucumbers( 2 slices), tomatos( 3 cherry), and honey mustard dressing (too much dressing but it was sooo good) and a slice of red onion (2 oz) About 73 oz of water, took my morning does of calcium and my multivitamin but forgot my evening dose of calcium.....

The 2 oz by the red onion actually should be by the fried chicken tender pieces that was on my salad. LOL Its Monday for sure!!

2 oz of red onion? LOL

I know right...no one would want to talk to me for the rest of the week if I ate 2 oz of red onions!! lol

I used to do this everyday on the RNY forum...but I fell off the wagon. Here's my damage for yesterday... B: Muscle Milk Light, Chocolate Mint flavor S: White nectarine (made me dump like a Tonka! I promptly needed a 2 hour nap.) L: 2 mini PB protein balls, string cheese S: nada D: homemade taco salad, no chips...lots of veggies, romaine lettuce, kidney beans, refried beans, cheese, salsa, sour cream, green onions, taco meat...yummy!! Looks like leftovers for lunch today... S: 3 multigrain crackers w/cheese and pepperoni, melted in micro...like mini pizzas minus the sauce. Got in all vitamins, all water...I estimate my calories to be at around 900-1000(I'll have to start charting on myfitnesspal.com again), more than enough protein. See ya' tomorrow! ~Suz

Thanks suz for doing this... Im excited about doing it, cause I feel like I eat the same things over and over. How do you make your protein balls? Anxious to read more! Stacey

Hi Stacy... I make the protein balls a little different everytime I make them...everyone in the house likes them as a snack but we get tired of eating the same recipe all the time. I add things and take things away depending on what we have on hand. But, the protein powder, pb, oats, and honey are always in the mix. I tried it once without the honey...they were soooo dry that no one would eat them. So, with that said, this is the general outline of the recipe: 1 cup vanilla protein powder(this is how I got rid of the crappy powder I couldn't drink) 1 cup organic smooth peanut butter 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats, granola cereal, rice crispies, or other cereal of choice 1/2-1 cup honey(maybe sf syrups for flavoring coffee would work, too? I can't stand coffee so I don't have any, but I thought that perhaps it would be something worth trying for those of you that have the syrups on hand) 1/2 craisins 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut Splenda to taste, if needed powdered milk for extra protein and to stiffen the mix if needed Mix together in a food processor or a bowl if you want to chop the craisins by hand. Then, take a teaspoon or tablespoon of mix, squeeze into a tight ball, and then roll between your hands. It sometimes helps to dampen your hands with water if the dough is too firm. They store well at room temp for about a week, or in the fridge for longer thougth they become very firm when cold. This makes A LOT of balls!! I think that I am going to try using some mini chocolate chips, maybe a cup, and see how that goes. I know that there are some sugar free chips on the market, but I may have to order them online. Anyway, I hope that this gives you some ideas. I have a recipe for a cheesecake version, as well, but we haven't tried them yet. I'll let you know how they are when I make them. ~Suz

And the taco salad sounds great...I may have to make me one up this week too!!

this will be great for me- I think I'm the worst eater in the Jan board... accountability will help- see you tomorrow... Holly
