Needed some help sorting out a lot of emotional issues so I had a Kung Fu session with my personal Master Po. That would make me... Shaolin monk, Kwai Chang Caine?
Basic Episode: Someone Left the Lid Off the Blender... In the end, Grasshopper is scheduled for another Kung Fu session Friday. All in all... the blender just kept whizzing through the night... just mental images... no words... some tears.
General Impression: Why go again? I am drained already. Answer: Patience... Knowledge...
Still having a lot to learn...
2 AM Eats:
slice pumpernickel / rye, 1 t. Blue Bonnet Spread, mini popcorn, Nature Valley Almond Crunch
Calories: 427
Carbs: 54
Fats: 20
Sat. Fat: 2
Protein: 14
Perhaps I should have eaten actual grasshoppers, which have only 1,365 calories per pound.

Ah, young(ish) Grasshopper....so sorry am I to read of your stuggle. I lift my first cup of coffee to you in salute and send prayers your way for strength. (not to mention big hugs!!!!) Luckily grasshoppers aren't in season here.
Going to try something new today and use OH for my journalling first. If the hands don't hurt too much by the end of the day I'll go to Sparkpeople to reveal the ugly truth. Love that we can edit our posts here so I'll just check in and keep adding food as I add it to me.
6 a.m. 1/2 cup 0% fage, 1/2 cup special K protein cereal
7:30 a.m. one of those pumpkin muffins -and- coffee (breakfast and coffee has been a rule-breaker for me for some time now)
8:45 a quick snack of 3/4 cup eggbeaters before going out shopping and not bringing any protein bars with me (calories, calories!)
1:30 half a pumpkin muffin (this time not a healthy one...sigh) got home from my errands today on foot...car trouble so I dropped it off for a diagnosis...crossing fingers! Baking now!
later...? cya
Another cup of coffee and I (and a heavy blanket) are going to the patio to watch the birdies and enjoy the bliss of the peaceful (read: ALONE!) morning.

I have my plan for the day...did weel yesterday sticking to it and esp because I also posted here so I felt like I could not stray..
B-protein coffe shake
s- 2 cups coffe with s/f creamer
L-1 cup homemeade chili
s- couple of PB protein balls
D- couple scrambled eggs with cheese and salsa (love to eat breakfast for dinner!)
s- yogurt with granola
some hot green tea in the evening is nice now that the weather is getting cooler.
My menu is a little boring and will probably be the same or similar all week just because it leaves little room for me to stray. I sooo want to see 165 on my scale and will do what it takes to get there (within reason of course)
I WILL get in my 36 minutes on the elliptical! (I know....36 min?! Why 36?...'cause I am working my way up a little at a time so as not to feel overwhelmed and give it up altogether. Adding a minute every few days doesn't get to my head as much as saying I'll do 45 minutes and then after 5 wanting to jump off cause I feel like I can't do it. Make sense?)

*BIG HUGS* to your Ro.... thank you for being accountable and showing us that we all have our struggles and having the ability to share it here. It isn't easy but this is real life right?
So far today, slept in.. had a LATE start. Noon... ugh working night shift makes me weird the first couple days off in regards to sleep. Tomorrow will be a good start day as far as time.
So far today, not hungry after all my ahem.. crap food I ate yesterday, lets not go there :( Today is my fresh start!
I have had 1 scoop of protein powder in my POT of coffee.. It is SO cold here already.. its been so nice to sip on this all day. No not decaf, I need a whippin! Molly... u and I are so alike in our warm fluid needs lol. I am addicted to fresh ground coffee beans for coffee now.. got a grinder and going to town with it. Need to switch to deaf though, I will work on that!
I don't have the rest of the day planned out yet... thinking I will do all liquids today as I have been so far behind on drinking. It feels good to rehydrate some. Also getting in lots of water!
I have an eating plan that I have developed for myself starting tomorrow or thursday (might do another protein day tomorrow, we will see.. trying to decarb!)
I am getting ready to head to the gym now, haven't been in a VERY long time.... Trying to be good and already trying to make excuses not to go, NOT GOOD.. I AM GOING! :)
Thanks for the accountability... u shoved me out the door! *HUGS*
Edited to add: I did go to the gym. I ran 3 miles and did 1 hour of upper body weight lifting!
Foods.... not the BEST day but more on track than before.
Prebreakfast: Lots O coffee and 3/4 scoop of protein powder.
Breakfast: Protein shake with 1 cup hood milk
After Gym Snack: 1 EAS rtd shake
Lunch: 3 oz turkey jerky, a few peanuts
Dinner: large salad with romaine, red onion, cauliflower, red and green pepper, 2 oz of light cheese shredded and light balsamic vinegerette dressing.
Later meal: 4 oz ham, 2 slices of pepperjack cheese.
I tried to decarb... so made sure it was protein I went for if I needed to munch. Not as controlled as I would have liked but better than before. My portions seem huge these days....
I need to plug this into fitday, just haven't yet.
I got your email about Beck! Thanks for that update! You are awesome! I need to get going ont hat with us again. Maybe tomorrow I can do that.

This has been a very long day for me... Thank you for the warmth that you brought to me with your acceptance and love.... Huggles.... Smoochies....
Still feeling (really, really) resistant about Friday's Kung Fu session. Mailed payment... could imply that I will be a "no show"? Getting started... change, in general, makes me anxious. Bummer.
Hot Drinks, Baking, Food Limits (evil cravings), Journal & Exercise Issues... I'm there with you!
MOVES: Repost from Yesterday... 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.
EATS:
2 AM: slice pumpernickel / rye, 1 t. Blue Bonnet Spread, popcorn, Nature Valley Almond Crunch
B: RF Barber Marco Polo Chicken
L: Stouffer's Stuffed Peppers (2), 1 oz bran pretzels
D: eggroll*
S: 1 oz Smartfood Cheddar popcorn, Fudgsicle, hot cocoa, lf string cheese, 1 oz bran pretzels, NF yogurt, 1 oz Great Grains cereal
* Eggroll got "stuck / ouchie" in said pouchie... so my "dinner combo" went right into the fridge.
