Great Eating Day -- Sunday!

Thank you again for all the support and for helping me make a fresh start today. It has been a wonderful eating day AND pouchie appreciated it too and kept the ulcers silent today. Whew! That makes facing food so much easier! My calorie numbers have come out kinda low for someone who is trying to maintain but I figure that after yesterday it pretty much evens out the score. A new weekend strategy for me...no protein shakes! They use up between 140-200 calories of my daily budget and start me out with around 30 gr.protein the way I make them and then if I eat more protein foods during the day I am actually over my protein needs. I'll keep them up during the week because they really do help me with those 3 a.m. days of mine but I can do better on the weekends. Today...and I'm proud of this! 1) 1 (MEASURED!) cup of watermelon 2) a zucchini/ham frittata made with 1 1/2 oz teensy diced ham, half a zucchini, 1/4 cup egg beaters, some red onion and Mrs. Dash. YUM! 3) 2 turkey/cheese rollups, 1/2 cup marinated cucumbers 4) 1 mini bag popcorn 5) 1 measured cup watermelon (does this tell you I didn't measure yesterday?) 6) a pretty little dinner salad with fancy-schmancy greens, 1 1/2 oz. chicken, 1 tab. ff feta, 1/2 small avacado, 1 tab. reg. dressing 7) a sf frozen fruit pop Totals (drumroll please...) 583 calories, 67 grams carbs, 18 grams fat, 46 grams protein Thank you, thank you! OK...what did you eat today???? Molly

Oh...and I had to throw out some of that pretty little salad because it filled me up too much! WOOHOO!!! Lovin' my RNY!!!

Excellant day for you!! Congrats on making today a new day! I never had a doubt in my mind that you would do good today. ~ Terisa

WOW Molly!! What a great job!! Here's the lineup for me: 1) protein shake 2) 1 poached egg & 1 morningstar sausage patty 3) 1/2 cup clam chowder made with skim milk & 1 oz. mixed nuts (cashews/almonds) 4) 2 small broasted chicken wings & 1/4 small broasted potato 5) 6 oz. tomato juice 6) 6 oz. tomato juice cals. 929, fat 39, carb 66 (yeah!!!), protein 81

Hey, you did great too! Glad that Sunday was a better day. Maybe on Friday we should post our ideas for doing better next weekend? Molly

Special K Protein Plus w/almond milk 1/2 Boca Lasagna 3/4 of a gourmet hot dog w/bun (bad I know) 1 light string cheese 2 Wasa Crackers SF Pudding with FF whip cream 1 turkey/cheese/pickle roll up 1 bite of a Hershey Take 5 Bar 912 Calories 92 Carbs (bad crackers) 32 fats 74 protein This weekend was better than the last few, but I definitely have to pay more attention to the carbs. I get so worried about calories I don't always take the carbs into account.

Don't worry about the crackers, those Wasa are so full of good grains that they were good carbs anyway. Lately most all my evil carbs come from watermelon or strawberries, it seems. Demon fruit has me in it's grip and isn't letting go. Oh well, at least it isn't pie! Molly

Sorry Molly, so busy didn't get online, but I did miss you.... did you buy your spanx yet have a wonderful week..Erin

Oh my goodness...I'm getting a little panicky about that! I looked at them online again and hit a site with a HUGE selection of them. There are so many different kinds, weights, lengths, etc. I don't know what to get! Molly
