What a great day!!!! B- mini whole wheat bagel with peanut butter L? Healthy choice S-Nectar D_ Going out with family ? I had planned on cutting back on carbs and then went to Tuesday Post op Support group. Received a hand out that says if you get tremulous it is because your body needs more carbs and at this far out I should be getting 30% of my meals with healthy carbs. I did Fitday and that is what I have been doing (and a few times a week I get shakey)so I will continue for a while longer and see how it goes. I am below goal(even though I got pretty low when I was sick I have now gained 3 lbs and feel good). Will go to the gym for a hard 25 minute cardio workout then do wgts. Dr A's dietician did say when you are at maintanance level 2-- 45 minute workout a week is enough. That was a surprise. I I hope everyone enjoys this great day

So VERY happy to see the sun out today!!! Hope you all enjoy your day. B- Lowfat Cottage Cheese & 1 slice of lite bread w/a smear of PB S- Coffee (24 oz) L- Lean Cuisine meal S- not sure- but I've got cottage cheese or maybe a handful of lite chips D- going for a business dinner @ Max's in Springfield, (yes, I'm driving ALL over creation today!) so I'll try for a piece of baked fish or a salad with meat on it and dressing on the side S- probably won't have one. Drinks: Bought some fruit 2 O, apple flavor, so I'll drink that today. Exercise: well, I STARTED to do 45 minutes on the elliptical at home this morning, but got interrupted with a phone call from my BF that his uncle is unexpectedly coming to stay with us for 2 days and arriving at 9:00 tonight! So- I had to stop exercising and START house cleaning! Can that be my exercise for the day??? LOL. Probably doesn't count, so I guess I won't get to exercise today.

Feeling much better today but came into a load of work that was supposed to done yesterday so it was a very busy day. B - protein bar S - protein bar L - mozz sticks S- cottage cheese w/ cashews D - turkey chilli S - ? I am thinking of making my own diet lemonade pops, something cold I did my kickboxing for 30 mins yesterday for the 1st time in a week. I have been walking alot instead of my regular exercise and it really kicked my butt!. A little less than a month ago I used to do 45 - 60 minutes of kickboxing mostly everyday and lately 30 mins has me completely wiped. I can't wait until I get my labs back so I can see whether my iron is low or something. Have a great day guys!
