Accountability Monday!

Home nobody minds me startin' this today.  I haven't lost a pound in 6 weeks and I fully take acountability for it.  Snacking.  Not sneaking in so much "bad" stuff, just getting in too much, period.

And, as much as I hat to journal my food intake, I totally realize that occassionaly I have to just to see what I am doing to myself.  So last night I sat down and made my food plan for the day today (yes, I did read up to that chapter in the Beck Diet Solution!) and I am sticking to it so far today!  Yay me!

B- Coffee protein shake, 30p/200 cal
S- 2 cups coffee w/s/f creamer  0p/100 cal.
L- Orange cream protein shake, 30p/200 cal.
S- 4 protein PB balls (I make them rather small), 20p, 200 cal (guessing at this)
D- 1 cup homemade chili(made a big batch this weekend) 20 p, 250 cal
s- yogurt with granola, 6p/120 cal.
Maybe a cup of hot green tea if I feel the need for something before bed

Total approx 1100 cal./100+protein

How's everybocy else doin'?

What protein powder do you use for the orange cream?

My day was good intill a few minutes ago when I ate a pack of 70 calorie gummies. Why did I eat them ..I have no idea as I really do not like them.  This was 1 bump in the road and I will not let it miss my week up:)

D

I am a huge CHEAPSKATE..I never buy clothing for more than $10 (shoes, well, that is another story) and I am the same way with food items.

I buy the Walmart brand proteins (Body fortress) they are anywehre from $12 to $15 a bucket.  I have gotten them in vanilla, chocolate, and even cookies n cream.

I use 4 or 5 oz of soy milk, one scoop vanilla protein powder and  a bit (to taste really) of the s/f early rise orange drink powder (great value brand from walmart, kinda like Crystal light only cheaper).  Whiz with 3 ice cubes in my mini-blender and good to go!

Hi Elaine!

Thanks for starting this thread!!!  I was so happy to see this when I logged on tonight!

I havne't logged anything and didn't recommit today like I had wanted to :(  Had a stressful weekend.  I need to learn how to not eat in regards to stress.  Had a patient that ended up being flown by helicopter to a larger city.  I felt so bad for him.

So, I have done nothing but sleep and graze no lies here... at all.  I promise promise promise to recommitt tomorrow.  Nothing else bad for me tonight.  It ends right here right now.

As for exercise, I haven't today, just been so tired from work last night. I am also late on starting my period by several weeks, no not pregant! I stopped birth control two months ago and this always happens when I stop. I feel premenstural all the time :( 

Ok ENOUGH whining on my part lol..

I am SO very proud of you.  I am going to sit down and make my plan tonight.  Thanks for the inspiration!

Exercise?!  I had it in my head to do it today...but haven't gotten to it yet.  That has really been my hurdle from the get go.  Did good for  a couple months but then last week TOM visited and I just did not feel like it.  Go a week without and now I feel the old tug of war...I'll do it tomorrow....

I can say so far so good on the meal pln...but now that I am home for the evening...the kitchen is starting to whisper my name!

I still haven't gotten back into exercising, which I thought that I would especially after hearing some info at Support Group.  One woman mentioned that she had bone density loss in her hips, but more density in her spine.  Not sure why there was this kind of change, but the loss was what they focused on... and the answer: walk.  This woman is about 18 months post-op and in her late 50's.  Her age was not seen as the factor, but her lack of exercise was noted.

My day started with string cheese and 1 oz bran pretzels..  then decaf coffee w/ DaVinci Caramel.
B: 2 oz Great Grains cereal w/ 3 oz reduced milk
L: 4 oz lamb w/ 2 oz gravy and 4 oz mashed potatoes w/ 1 t Blue Bonnet spread
D: 3 stuffed clams w/ 1 T spread, 1 oz pumpkin seeds
S: NF yogurt, 1/2 oz peanuts,  5.5 oz apple,  5.5 oz banana, 6 oz grapes,  Fudgsicle, Farina w/ 1 t spread

Hi!  Thank you for getting this going, I'm so happy to see it on the mb again.  Since the sun hasn't come up yet on Tuesday I'm still going to pretend this counts for Monday.   I was sooooo busy and ate pretty bad but worked whats left of my butt off in the yard so it was a great day all in all.  Here's eats...not logged on sparkpeople, my arms hurt too much last night to even think of typing.

--lactaid latte
Cliff Kids bar
1 cc pancakes batch, 1/4 c sf syrup, 1/2 cup egg beaters
another Cliff Kids bar, lf mozz stick
2 turkey patties, 2 T lf ranch dressing
4 (not all at the same time!) nsa ice cream bars
1 corn thin (like a rice cake but only 25 cal) w/1 T peanut butter
lots of sf chai throughout the day, sf cocoa
coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee 
another lactaid latte
detour bar (the half size kind)
1  mini bag lite popcorn

This constitutes a LOT of grazing from dashing inside to use the bathroom, warm up and blow my nose.  haha

On tap for Tuesday....more yardwork (rototilling, digging and moving perennials, pruning, raking, cleaning the patio) and baking to get ready for the Rose Society meeting on Wed. evening, a Wed. potluck at work and a Thursday potluck at work.  Sheesh...enough potlucks already!  

Have a great day!
