Good morning Crewbies!

Hope you're all having a great day on the river. I keep on rowing knowing you're all here with me.

Here's my day as I see it. Will edit if I go off plan.

Have a dandy one!!

latte--ok, only one today!

greek yogurt and the new Special K low fat granola.  won't do this for bkfst again, I got hungry wayyyy too early. Not enough protein to start the day, but might end up being a good snack.

protein coffee

benefit fiber bar

leftover curried lamb meat balls (2) with coucous

protein coffee

Shrimp Diavalo w/ whole wheat pasta and salad

s---????  probably applesauce and cottage cheese

Thanks Sus,
Sorry about Gary's mom, hope he gets to spend some quality time with her. 

When I hurt or grieve or fall into a funk, eating is the LAST thing I wanna do. Not sure which is worse, eating at a time like this or NOT eating!! 
I had no lunch, and so far no dinner.  We have to deliver a dog later, so maybe we will dine out.  Its just hard to think of food when my heart is breaking!!!

 I have three dogs and one cat.  I have my old and loyal boston terriers:  Tuff and Senora.  Tuff is 9 and Senora is 8.  I have a 2 yr old Shar-Pei named Sugar.  Tom is my pretty 3 colored male cat.  You know they say that the dog resembles the owner.  My oldest dog, Tuff, is really obese.  However, since the surgery, he has also lost 5 pounds.  He went from 48 lbs. to 43 lbs.  I had my surgery on December 28th.  I guess the exercise is rubbing off. 

Yesterday was nuts with my eating. I wasn't really busy at work, but when I was busy, my schedule worked against my eating plan. I didn't get dinner before my 5:30 client came in, and by the time I got home, just before 8:00, it was too late to eat what I had planned. Oh well, today is another day.

I bought a nifty milk frother. It's supposed to be used to make milk foam for the top of lattes and such. Well, all it is is a mini emersion blender and it works miracles!  I started making protein coffee....1 tbs protein powder, 1 tsp instant coffe, a little warm water. I whip it up with my frother while the water comes to a boil, then add it in. Welllllll, it's nice and thick and is more like a latte than a cup of coffee!!!  I might just eliminate my lattes and see if it helps me get a few lbs off.

Here is is so far:

latte

protein coffee

1 mini bagel and a crustless quiche ---I warmed a little pasta sauce and poured it over it yesterday and it was really good. I still think I'll do some playing around with this recipe, though.

protein bar

l--left over lamb curry from yesterday

s--applesauce and cottage cheese

d---steak, 1/2 baked potato, some sort of veggie

s-- don't know, what ever I need to fill out my day.

Hope you all have a successful day rowing down the river.

Hey Susan,
Im here and eating, sometimes too much, but its healthy too much.  Again, all I wanna do is eat, not sure what is up w/that.

Yesterday was pretty ok, had a minor bobble, but not today. 
Yesterday was:
Wake up-Coffee, as if you didnt know that one, lol

Breakfast-1/2 reduced fat grands biscuit, slice of ham and 1 egg fried in non stick skillet.

Lunch-mmmm, think I missed that one!!  Was a bad girl and ate a slice of hersheys choc creme pie!!  Boy did I feel bad about it and after it, BAD RHONDA!! Power of temptation is still there.

No afternoon snack, since I was soooo bad earlier.

Dinner-Pork fajitas and 3 sweet potato fries.

Looking back, it was a horrible day!!! Arrrghhh!!

Today will be much better, so that you dont throw me overboard!!

Wake up-Coffee

Breakfast-1/2 reduced fat grands biscuit, ham, egg  (see a pattern here?)

Lunch-Im thinking turkey breast sliced w/some cheddar cheese, no bread

Dinner-Chicken cooked some way, have some thawed I need to cook or lose. 

Snacks will be nuts and fruit, I have to be good today, yesterday was BAD!!

Hope everyone has a great day, Im off to take care of f-i-l's stock and get my hair trimmed!!  See you all tonight
