Joanie's Food Log-Wednesday

Kathy- Its not too much to ask- and you can do it! You look marvelous...and think of how well you have done this past year. My dietician said I didn't need to come back to see her if I didn't want...but I made an appt for a six month follow up..because I will probably need her MORE then. Good for you that you asked for help. You have been a support to so many here..we are here for you too! Hugs, Joanie

Well I don't know exactly what the rest of the day will bring but here goes soooo far: B- atkins breakfast bar, 3 small pieces of pre-cooked bacon Snack- cup of mixed nuts and sesame stix L- 1/2 cup of crab salad, 1/2 bag of atkins crunchers, 1 1/2 dill pickle spears, 4oz of mussleman's light peach sauce Snack? Hopefully none Dinner- homemade turkey chili and a veggie snack- this is my downfall time Have a great day everyone. Linda

Linda, Night time is a bad time for me lately too. I never drink water after dinner...and maybe I should--it might keep me fuller. I just don't want to get into that night time grazing that I used to do. Blessings- Joanie

ok.. this is my first post to the food log. I must say this is one of the most helpful items on the boards! As surgery is Friday.. I am on 1000 calorie diet.. B- Basil Chicken Lean Cuisine... I work night shift so this was a wonderful breakfast L- Burgundy Steak Lean Cuisine D- Alfredo Chicken Lean Cuisine This pre-packaged dinner thing was the easiest was to make sure I kept to the 1000 calorie diet (confession.... I did have one..ok two pretzel rods) Becky

Hey! For once I have a day planned, so I can participate in this post! Yippee for me (ok, so I'm a slacker on the meal planning, but...) B- 1/2 lo carb egg bagel with peanut butter (low sugar Jif) and a few slices of bannana later... 20 ounces of Decafe chai (made from tea bag) with fat free creamer and splenda L- Weigh****chers Chicken Marsala with broccoli entree (nobody freak! but YES I ate the whole thing.) D- Crab stuffed salmon with acorn squash (YUM- I love acorn squash!) S- I don't really eat snacks...but I might have a few peanutbutter crackers if I feel like I need to or some popcorn or fruit. ciao- Lisa C

I can't really share with the what are you eating? since I had a couple bites of something and felt quesy so I am taking the advice of everyone and drinking the closest thing I have to chamomile tea which is sleepy time tea (The first ingredient is chamomile..lol) Other than that I havn't been able to get much more in. So I am going to just stick with tea, it goes down very nice. I need to take a survery.... Who eats popcorn. Lisa C. Just mentioned it and I have seen some of you note you east it also. If you eat it do you ever break the rule of "no drinking while eating"? I loved popcorn pre-op but I'm not sure if I can eat it without drinking too. Sorry for hijacking your post Joanie. Julie
