Hey there Ben....thanks for doing this. I know that I have been MIA lately, but I am back again and ready to Rock and Roll. This is great. I really want to be accountable for my actions lately, it will really help to get me into better habits.
Meals:
LND- 1/2 cup egg salad and 1 pc. whole wheat bread, 1/4 cup baked beans.
Breakfast- 2 pcs. whole wheat toast with I Can't Beliebe It's Not Butter and 1/2 cup low sugar oatmeal made with CC milk.
Lunch - ugh, 2 slices of pizza and some M&M's. What is wrong with me? I know that I need to get my Protein in and I am sabotaging myself. I found that some sugar doesn't affect me and well, dumby me indulges. This is exactly why I need to be held accountable.
Vitamins: Still need to take Multivitamin, B-12, D, Calcium, and Actigal
Water: Great, already have 48 oz. in and I average 100 oz. a day.
Exercise: Today nothing yet, I usually do 2 miles on the treadmill and I have recently started running, yes, I said running.
Hope your day is going well, see you tomorrow.

This is why I like this board... everyone can be honest and not be afraid of being "lectured".. it makes me feel better and actually inspires me because I know others are going through the same "food choice" issues...
Today was not a good day for me eating... I too have found a little chocolate doesn't make me sick... and I have already slapped myself for doing it...but I need to be accountable.
Last night dinner: 1 cup beef stew
Snack: 2 fun size snickers (darn trick-or-treating!) I ate one after dinner and one later in the evening. It did satisfy my sweet tooth though..and back in the day (pre-surgery) I definately would NOT have stopped at 2 fun size!!!
Today:
Breakfast: 1 piece whole grain toast with peanut butter, herbal tea with splenda
Snack: 5 pringles
lunch: 1/4 cup mandrin oranges and 1/2 cup cabbage with ham
snack: 5 pringles 1 fun size snicker (hey..at least they have nuts!! I'm done with them..don't worry. I feel terrible for eating it)
Dinner: 2/3 traditional sandwich from Quizno's, didn't eat all the bread, decaf tea.
See.. told you I was a bad bad girl today.. After I ate that snickers today I just sat for a long time and contemplated why I did that last night and today. I know it's an addiction, but I can't believe after all I"ve gone through I couldn't resist the urge. It's still such a journey. I have things to work on still.
Water: I try.. drink as much as I can during the day and evening
VItamins: multi-vitamin, biotin, calcium.... all in!
Exercise: Need more.. I walk a lot at work.
Thanks for helping me be accountable, and for letting me be honest. What a blessing!!!

Hi Ben,
Time for my accounting.
LND - 1/4c. of the chicken fettuncini left from last night--it didn't stay down.
LNS - sadly yes, another slurpee, about 1/4 cup. I was grossly addicted to these pre-surgery, and obviously have not yet learned from my mistakes. I can't keep telling myself it is okay because I am only drinking a 1/4 cup.
Breakfast: I haven't decided yet, probably an egg and 1/2 piece of toast. Oh, and i have had about 3 mandarin sections already.
Lunch: probably a grilled chicken breast, or maybe some chili.
Vitamins: I'll get right on that! 
If I change my routine in the morning, even a little, that will be the first thing I forget.
Water: it's getting better, it doesn't hurt to drink water anymore. I just poured myself a glass at least.
Exercise: I live along the Transcanada Highway and have to walk Connor to the bus, a quarter mile there and back. I thought I would try and jog it today. Felt really self-conscious but I did it. Oh well, gives the truck drivers something to gawk at. I will probably practice some of my karate forms today.
*********I just wanted to add that this group inspires me everyday to make better choices for my health. I REALLY struggle with not lapsing into old habits. If it wasn't for the support, encouragement and inspiration I receive here, I could be in dire straits. Thank-you everyone.******************
