Hey Family! It's Steph.....Kathy has named me Queen of Tuna and I think it's true I'm eatting tuna 2-3 times a day, and love it (just remember to take a toothbrush,toothpaste and mouth wash to work ). I'm sorry that I don't respond to some of the post during the day, I'm SWAMPED at work, I juggle many task. My menu is below for the day. Early AM Nectar Protein 23g protein Breakfast Tuna Steak 34g protein Snack Nectar Protein 23g protein Lunch Tuna Steak over lettuce 34g protein Dinner Tuna Steak w/steamed beans 34g Protein Late PM walk 2.0 miles I will drink at least 80oz of water today, and take all vitamins by 12noon. Have a BLESSED day...and continue to pray for each other, that we will meet and exceed our personal goals Steph

I feel like perhaps I'm finally getting somewhere. Last night about 9:30pm I was sooooo freezin, I made a sf hot choc with vanilla protein...so that ended yesterdays protein at 91 grams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today, I've goten 55 grams in and it's only 1:30pm!!! Here's the menu: B - Detour Protein Bar - 15 grams protein S - sf hot choc with vanilla protein powder - 20 grams of protein L - albacore tunafish - 20 grams of protein S - Orange juice, vitamins, medications D - pot roast (already in the crock pot) 1/2 cup = 20 grams of protein Things are looking good today!!!

Hey All, I am doing great! Down 4 pounds, and feeling more motivated than ever! Still need to step up the exercise, but I have been meeting and maintaining all of my protein/vitamin and water goals! Today will be a good day. Breakfast-23g nectar protein lunch-tuna/le/t on a whole grain roll snack-nectar dinner-nectar again

Hey, Steph aka QOT... Early am: Nectar Protein 33 grams Breakfast: Deli Ham and Cheese (Havarti w/ Dill - yummers) Lunch: Pork Medallions Dijonaise w/ green beans Snack: Nectar Protein 33 grams Dinner: Taylor Ham (Pork Roll sauteed in a fry pan) - 4 slices Later tonight: Snack: Yet another Nectar Protein 33 grams Got my vitamins all in except the last of my calcium which will be later as well. Water - a bit light but I still have time. Got 40 oz thus far. Plus 16 oz Crystal Light which I haven't had in months. I usually don't count flavored stuff towards my water/fluid intake but perhaps today I will. Got an MRCP tomorrow...it is a special MRI to look at the bile ducts to see if there is a runaway gallstone. I'm not expecting them to find anything and am expecting to still not know from whence my pain originiates. Kathy

Alright, Today I had: Breakfast - 2 Quiche Cups and .75 oz Turkey Lunch - Tuna with almonds, balsamic vinegar & Dijon Snack - protein bar Dinner - South Beach Pizza I got all my vitamins in and 100 oz of water. Come on poundage - time to beat it! Angela

I got in all my vitamins and water. Exercise: 45 minute step-aerobics class followed by upper-body weight training.
