Accountability Tuesday

Dear Dec. Family... Perhaps a member who's Eats are more Weight Loss Friendly should post this thread. It is hard for me to get a "handle" on how much I have to eat just to maintain the 2.5 LB weight gain over the past months. At this point, the main reason I log-in foods is to be certain that my protein range is OK. Listing my Eats seems so counter-productive; to me and possibly to your best interest. Any takers? B: banana, NF yogurt, 1/2 oz Special K Protein Plus Cereal L: Applebees... 1/2 Caesar salad, 1/2 rack ribs, 1 baked potato w/ butter + sour cream, 1/2 Key Lime Shooter D: 1/2 oz ham, 1 oz broccoli, 1 oz Stove Top, 1 oz baked beans, 1 oz spinach, 1 oz turkey, 1 oz mixed veggies, 1.5 oz gravy, 1/2 drop biscuit S: 2 granola bars, 2 Laughing Cow cheeses, 1 oz multi-grain pretzels, 7 oz spinach, SF pudding calories: 1781 carbs: 246 fat: 58 sat fats: 20 protein: 81

Forgot that Atkins Morning Apple Crisp bar at breakfast.... calories: 1961 carbs: 260 fat: 67 sat fats: 24 protein: 92

Hi Ro! Sorry I have been MIA! I try to do this when I can, as you know. This week has been uber hectic with things. Some weeks are so much slower than others, this week is buys. I can't commit to it but I can sure try to do it when I can. As you can see even with the Beck Diet.. I am falling short. There just isn't enough hours in the day :*( I will try to do better. I have not had the best week.. and I haven't even been logging.. stupid. I had such a great week last week. Back on track.. heard it before.. u hear it again.. story of my life it seems. I had three patients crump on me in an hour this weekend.. two went to critical care, the other died. My job is such a major stressor for me. I wish I could change that or at least cope better. I saw that you went and saw the doctor... that is good. Plueral effusions are usually just fluid in the lungs.. or around. What did they tell u about that?

I need to ask questions when I go to appointments, Mel. I think I just go numb. So sorry about your patients... I really wish that you were in an "everything ends well" area of the hospital, but I know that your needed where you are... but the STRESS!!! You did not log and I'm beginning to HATE logging! Seems like we're on the same page about journaling. With all of the stress that's "hit" our board lately and life's overwhelming scheduling, seems many of us are going through the "dieter's blues" even after WLS. Logging
