Whadja Eat Today (8/8)?

Hey gang! Hope everyone had a good Tuesday! Mine was pretty good, but work was a nuthouse. Morning: 8 oz of Decaf Tea followed by 25 oz of CL with a scoop and a half of Nectar for 36g of protein B: I ordered a breakfast burrito at work, supposed to be eggs, cheese and sausage, nothing else. I usually eat some of the guts and toss the rest. Well, mine got what I ordered PLUS onions, peppers and really anemic tomatoes. I took about 2 tiny bites and tossed the rest. Wound up eating 1/2 a protein bar instead. L: 1/3 cup of chili D: about 2 oz of broiled trout, 2 small bites of baked potato with a dab of sour cream, 1/4 cup of salad with a little ranch dressing and a green bean In addition to my protein shake, I got in another 20 oz of water and am working on a 16 oz glass of SF Koolaid right now. I may have a small glass of milk later to top off my protein. Didn't make it to the gym tonight. I had to stay late to work and my DH had a meeting tonight, but I did take the baby to the park and chase her around for about an hour. So guys and gals, how was your day?

B: protein drink, 8 oz. OJ 10 oz. water L: one slice sausage pizza 10 oz. water D: 1/2 cup beef stroganoff, 4 bites of steamed carrots S: protein drink 10 oz. Propel Grape water (yum!)

B: String cheese (2 of 'em) L: I didn't eat the string cheese until about 10:30, so I wasn't hungry when I left for the gym at 12:30. S: when I got back from the gym - Isopure Dutch chocolate with frozen cherries and vanilla silk soymilk (VERY good) D: homemade chicken, veggie, rice soup (SOOOO yummy) about a cup I will have another protein shake later. At the gym I did 30 minutes on the bike, a little over an hour on the weights, and 10 minutes each of the rowing machine and treadmill. Michelle 340/326/266/175

Pre-B: Nectar shake (scoop and a half) B: 2 slices American cheese (hey it was what I had) Cup of decaf w/ half and half L: Boston Market Caesar Salad w/ Rotisserie Chicken Breast on top - ate about 1/2 a chicken breast (2 oz maybe), about 1/3 cup lettuce w/parm cheese and some salad dressing S: Nectar shake (scoop and a half) S2: Half a piece of SF cheesecake (LOL!) D: A few slices of bologna Will have another protein shake tonight before bed. I had 3.5 bottles of water - each is 20 oz so...70 oz of water thus far. I had 1 hour of physical therapy this morning for my back and leg. Walked 2 miles briskly this evening. Kathy (guess I coulda skipped the cheesecake, eh?)

No way!! Cheesecake is a MUST! Michelle

And it rocks too. Cheesecake Factory's Low-Carb SF Cheesecake sweetened w/ splenda. OMG! We got it for the party on Saturday - we celebrated Rich's 1 year post-op rebirthday anniversary. Kathy

No Cheesecake Factory here. However, when I go visit my folks in AZ in February, I know they have one by them!! I'll have to go check it out! I have made a low carb cheesecake, but I end up eating waaaaaayyyyy too much of it. I've not made it since surgery, but did when I was on Atkins and would eat an entire 10" cheesecake in like 1-1/2 days. BY MYSELF!! Michelle

Be sure to swing by and visit me when you come to AZ. Of course, you'll be in the Phoenix area right? 'Cause I know there's no Cheesecake Factory here in Tucson. Jules

B - Carb milk w/Strawberry SF Carnation Instant Breakfast and a Banana S - 4 Claussen Baby dills L - Shrimp dip (cream cheese, canned shrimp, lawreys salt) w/baked Lay's S - 2 small snack beef sticks from the vending machine 1.25 oz D - Just had some pickled Asparagus and going to cook up some rock shrimp I found last night! I drank my water at work today with a straw and guess what I got the whole glass down! I think I may have found out my issue, I always drank with a straw before surgery and I would drink alot of water I didnt seem to have any issues so back to the straw I go! Well I didnt go to the pool today but I did walk around Costco for 2 hours! I went up and down every isle, man I am a bit tired right now! Cary

I didn't add my water in my post! LOL! I had a 32 oz glass of water before noon, then a 24 oz bottle of Propel while at the gym. After I finish my yummy soup (and wait 30 min.) I'm going to have at least another 32 oz glass of water before bedtime. Me
