Sunday - ACCOUNTABILITY

Hey gang... I'm feeling much better today - still not 100% - but I can eat now. Little man's bug is hanging on a little longer than mine. His appetite is coming back but he's still got the Trots. I asked him earlier when he came out of the bathroom "Do you still have diarrea?" He said "No, just scrambled poopies" The things six year olds come up with. He cracks me up. I made a big breakfast for the family the morning and started the crockpot. Hot tea (20 oz) 1 egg (scrambled) 7g Protein 2 sl bacon 6g Protein 1 sl american cheese 7g Protein 1/2 a light whole wheat english muffin 1 Venti triple decaff sugar free vanilla latte 20g protein 1 vanilla almond biscotti (3g protein!! ) 1 Protein ball (made another batch) 3g Protein 1 Venti triple decaff sugar free vanilla latte 20g Protein 1 piece pot roast (about 1/2 the size of the palm of my hand) 16g Protein with some of the carrots, taters, onions & mushrooms that cooked with it all day - all in all - about a cup size serving. 1 cup of apple jacks (grrrrr) Soooo.... about 82g Protein today and around 1400-1500 calories. plus i drank a lot of water and hot tea. I didn't do anything too strenous today. I sang and danced a little to the xm "heart" station on the t.v. - worked a little in the kitchen - straightened my hair just for fun and that's about it. I'm still pretty worn out. I've got my crockpot all loaded up with boneless chicken, cream of chicken soup, piminto's, sour cream and some french fried onions for tomorrow morning. These soft meats cooked in the crockpot are just perfect on my finicky tummy. Hope everyone else is doing well.... hugs, Pam
