Fri. Ethel wants to know what ya eatin

I've been bad today...off schedule since I was at the doctor, and testing all day. I've eaten out ALL day today...yuck. So: Breakfast @ 10am, chick-fil-a chicken nuggets No snack Lunch: baked fish & spinach No snack: Dinner: 1 small peice of cheese pizza...I will NOT do that again. Man...it tore up my stomach. I brought it home for the kids, and couldn't resist....like I said, THAT won't happen again. Blech! Snack: small orange

Terri...welcome aboard the Ethel train!! Thanks for joining us...I think it helps us and we have fun and freidnships are formed...Girl my nutritionist said chick-fil-a is good for us (nuggets) because of the oil they use and 4 nuggets is also good for us...so Girl you did good....minus the pizza....I know it is not Ethel's favorite food at all. So how did the testing go? Joan M

nuggets are good for us?! Yay! You just made my day, girl!

I am so bad with the carb snacks- but I haven't gained anything so to me staying the same is good! This is what I ate today with the exception of the cocoa but it is my bedtime holdover. B- 1/2 South Beach meal bar S- 1/2 bag 100 calorie pack choc/carmel chex mix (BAD but oh so good) L- potluck at work 1/2 cup chili 5 cubes of cheese 2 small carrots a scoop of spinch dip and a few wheat crackers S-the other 1/2 bag of chex mix S-handful of baked bbq lays S-1/2 bag of chex yet again D-5 oz of baked salmon Before bed will be hot cocoa with protein powder in it with my vitamins......

Girlfriend...be careful...those carbs can sneek up on you and bam! You are in a stall. Good deal on the protein and cocoa....and I love those cubes of cheese...don't you? Still can't do chili...barf for sure...Ethel is just sooo finicky...I read where people eat Wendy's chili on pureed diet and I can't even eat it now after 9 months! Can you eat shrimp? That is really good for protein and not a huge quantity gives a lot. Although I have to say...the Chex stuff sounds good enough to eat...but if I read the label and it is more than 5grams fat or sugar then I put it back because I get scared...I know I was a carb addict before. Thanks for sharing the good...the bad and the ugly Joan M

I love hot cocoa. I drink Swiss Miss Sugar Free hot cocoa. I get a big box of it at BJ's. Lizzie

I have been away from the board for sooooo long...maybe I should start checking in daily again to post foods...maybe that will keep me on track since I am off track alot of days! B- about 1 cup of froot loop cereal with 1/2 cup milk L- 2 cups of chicken noodle soup (I eat this daily usually for both meals) S- 3 miniature reeses cups (taste good but makes me tired...but I eat them daily now! I am trying to STOP) D- will be having about 1 cup of chilli s- popcorn is my usual or cut up tomatoes/cucumbers On the good side...I have lost exactly what I now weigh...I weigh 116.5 pounds and I have lost a total of 116.5 pounds...that is showing that I am doing something right!!!! Yeah ME!!! Amy RNY 4-11-06 start weight 233 pounds current weight 116.5

That is wonderful Amy. Way to go. Kathleen

Your stats say you're doing great but I see what you mean about being off track. I have to keep my carbs in check, the bad for you white ones have been sneaking back in a little at a time. We have to be careful.... at first we'll lose pretty much no matter what we do but after a certain amount of time we can gain weight back if we haven't instilled good habits. Lizzie
