Joanie's Food Log-Tuesday

HI gang- I know I am late with this...I knew there was something I forgot to do today! On to better eating days after my disaster last night. My scale was kind to me this morning...so I need to be extra good to earn the number I saw...so won't report it until I feel deserving! I have a pot of beef stew in the crock pot at home..all that talk about stew last week had my mouth watering. Hope everyone is having a good day. I cannot wait to see you all on Saturday! Here is my meal plan for today! B-cottage cheese half cup 6g s=Protein drink 30g L-perdue low fat chicken with salsa and 1tbsp lite sour cream...12 g s-string cheese 6 g D-beef stew with just vegies..2-3 oz 14 g S-momentum bar 12 g Water--64 oz throughout the day! Walking three miles tonight! Joanie

Hello, I have been waiting all day for this to appear! B- Morning Start breakfast bar, 1 hard boiled egg S- Protein shake L- Chicken breast w/melted cheese, 2 tbsp. linguine (mmmm) My boss bought lunch again... D- Manicotti finally...l haven't made it the last three nights I was going to cook it for one reason or other, but definitely will be eating it tonight. Just one though. Have a good day. Anne

Hi Anne I can always count on you to post! Tell about the Morning Start Breakfast Bar...Atkins, right? Which ones are good...how much protein/calories?? Joanie

Hi Joanie, Atkins Morning Start bars...I have only tried two kinds, the apple cinnamon crisp, which is very good and crispy...and the creamy cinnamon bun flavor. But, I did just order a couple other kinds from Vitamin Shoppe, Strawberry and Blueberry. I'll let you know how they are. I don't eat them often, usually I have a yogurt, but on weekends and occasional weekdays when I don't want a yogurt, these are good. The Cinnamon Bun flavor has 160 calories, 8 g fat, and 13 grams protein. High cals and fat, which is why I don't eat them everyday. But, they are great for on the go... Anne

Joanie, You have so much ambition to be gotting out and walking even when it cools off! I am sure you deserve whatever number you saw on the scale!!!! I'm still on liquids so here it goes..... B- 1/2 low carb slimfast L- 1 cup egg drop soup s- s/f jello D- 1/2 can pea soup w/ unjury s- protein shake Boy is it hard to get protein on liquids!!! Have a great evening! Carmen

Carmen- How are you feeling? Is the pain still there? When do you see the doctor? No--I have no more quesitons... Joanie

I am feeling all right, unfortunately the pain is still there. It is a little better and I am doing ok w/ just taking Tylenol. I go back Thursday afternoon, then I am going to stick around for the newly pre-op support group so I will let you know what they say when I get home from that. Thanks for asking, Carmen

I am so bummed that I can't post to the food log until late at night, but, I still really enjoy reading them and getting good ideas. I tried beef stew this past weekend and UGGGGHHHH!!! My pouch did not like it AT ALL. I used beef that was tough and it got all backed up. That was not a pleasant experience. After it cooked longer in the crock pot, I tried some the next day. It just sat there like a lead balloon. So no more of that for a while! lol. Not that anyone will read this at 10:30pm, but here was my food day: B - CarbWell cereal with 1/2 banana 11g protein s - 1 1/2 scoops beneprotein w/16 oz coffee - 9g L - 1 oz. Feta and 1.5 oz tuna with lettuce and red onion 14g s - Glenny's slim carb bar- 12g D - 1 oz shrimp, 1 oz steak, brocolli and a couple of bites of baked potato s - sf popsicle terri

Terri- Don't feel badly about posting late..we still need to see it, no matter what time it is! I ended up having shrimp yesteday...I overcooked my stew! It was vile! I need to look up cooking times in for my crockpot...I haven't used it in a while! Joanie
