Its all about Preparation for me...

I tell you, if I don't prepare myself to eat healthy the day before I am a mess!  It really is all about preparation for me. Sure, I can choose better things, but then I slip and have something that wasn't planned it it makes me all loopy and confused!  


But if I prepare I do ok. I didn't prepare today, But I didn't do too bad, not good though because I had bread and yep. Sure enough it didn't settle well with my tummy. Nothing major just...don't feel exactly kosher.

Breakfast:
1 Egg w/cheese and a sausage patty

Lunch
Weigh****chers sandwhich 290 calories it was yummy but i tell you I never loose no matter what if I ingest bread! No matter how low cal it is. 'sigh' But its better than a bad unhealthy choice.

Snack
I dont know. I haven't hit that 3:30 I'm hungry point. I forgot to bring a protein bar so I'm hoping to just do with nothing. But I know my appetite gets out of control around 3:30. Maybe I'll have some peanuts from the machine. Keep it protein. I hope they have some today.

Dinner:
Protein shake. (Had one last night and almost burnt up my kitchen counter. The blender is so old and it started smoking!!!) good grief. Told you I need that silver magic bullet (haha).... I'll have to just mix with my hubby's protein shake. He has this yummy chocolate shake he gets from gnc its sugar free has more calories though but it tastes very very good!!! :)  I'll have to hand blend with my small hand blender (no ice) its still super yummy with a banana and a little milk and vanilla.  

Well, I started grazing yesterday and haven't stopped today; back in the damn M&Ms too.
My horse is sick, it's costing me a fortune, I'm worried to death about her and I am SOOOO stressing. Damn this damnedable emotional eating! One thing I know for sure - I am very aware of how different I feel if I'm INTO the crap food, or NOT into the crap food. I feel like crap today... Elizabeth I'm going to hunt down a Magic Bullet for you that you can buy for a reasonable price ... stay tuned. M.

I so agree with the planning and prep!  

I carry my lunch every day and it's almost always the same thing.   I keep oatmeal packets in my office for a mid morning snack and a stash of SB Cereal Bars.

Here we are almost 5 years out and I STILL have regular pouch issues ... if it moo'd, oink'd, or cluck'd in a past life . well . it's probably not going to sit well with me ..  Any chance I have to pack a lunch I do .. Any time we are going out with the fire truck and it's an all day type thing, the cooler gets packed with my food in it!

I wish that all my planning would show some results .. lol

Unfortunately, my pouch issues have made me lazy .. and since dense protein causes me problems, I tend to take the 'easy' way and eat too many carbs.   I am working on that .. but haven't quite mastered it yet.

Hugs, Mo

yeah I hear ya about the carbs and carbs always do a number on me somehow. I didn't plan today but didn't do too awful bad. I had chili for lunch and some tostitos for a snack. Thats it besides some decaf. Not a planned out meal of course. If I can just get it together I'll be ok. Gotta plan! :)
