Talk about shaking things up...

So what have you discovered in the area of foods that make you get excited to continue on? I was getting bored of the same old foods several weeks/months ago and asked some questions about this very topic on the messageboard over at the RNY area. Some of my favorite foods... Wraps (higher protein - found at WalMart) love crab meat and cream cheese..with vegs Edamame (a frozen soy veggie) I also like the dry roasted found at healthfood stores Turkey Pepperoni FF Kraft Swiss - not everyone would like this ( I use it for my omlettes with egg whites, Hormel bacon bits (Sam's) & salsa in the mornings) Chicken Meatballs at Sam's Club - Deli/cheese area across from the meats Still love my Wendy's Chili Tuna with light mayo and relish (hated tune pre-op - love it now) Grilled Chicken marinated steak Snickers Bar....no the Protein bars (bit high in carbs, but I only eat 1/2 at a time) Roast Beef (Deli) rolled with FF Cream cheese and jalapenos (burn that fat - literally) This one is crazy, I know....frozen vegetables (I was having issues not feeling full because I was not having enough veggies) Hum the Sound of Music theme...and these are few of my favorite things. I'm curious, now what keeps you motivated to eat good/healthy foods? John

Hmm... what keeps me motivated. Maybe the fact that I just bought shorts (non-stretch) that are freaking size 6!!! As for food, I'm still eating my same old favorites: Grilled chicken tenders at Cracker Barrel Beef Noodle soup at Cracker Barrel Bananas and strawberries and grapes.......yummy! The lemon cheesecake little dessert on the recipe board. I love this stuff! I've been making EVERYTHING we eat FF/SF. Can you believe my family LOVES the "new way" mom cooks? Talk about a miracle. I'm still devoted to my 40 calorie Fudgesicles Still LOVE my SF Orangeade with either Fuzzy Navel or Orange Creamsicle protein mixes I never really did the protein bars for some reason. I saw my surgeon this morning. It was too cold to wear my "chocolate" shirt but I showed him a pic of me wearing it. He gave me a HUGE hug and told me to keep doing whatever I'm doing cause I look great. Why is he married? And, what motivates me most? The dear people I LOVE here on the May Team!!! Wishing you all a blessed holiday!!! * Cyndi *
