***Wednesday Bites, Vites & Exercites***

Your protein and carbs look great...even with the 3 beers!  Question, though--why do you count calories?  Out of curiosity?  Cuz you know that with our malabsorption that that is not important.  We only absorb about 20% of fat and 60% of complex carbs and protein (my numbers may be a little off as I'm working on memory...but I think I'm in the ball park more or less.

Your enchilada sounds yummy.  I may have to try that as I love Mexican food.

Thanks! I don't actually count calories, but Sparkpeople does. I log there b/c I'm horrible at guessing if I got enough protein and really good about saying I ate less carbs than I actually did.

The enchiladas were good. Good sauces with meat can make all the difference as to how much and whether my food is going to stay put or not.

Oh, ok...I gotcha.  I tend to underestimate the carbs too...lol.

Not as successful yesterday.  Not terrible, but I did have a handful of sweettarts.  I limited myself to one protein bar.  I did not exercise again.

Today will be better! :)

Good luck today!

Well I must say since I have started working out in the morning my days seem much brighter and I am enjoying the workout. I am happy to report that the scale is moving and as of today I am down to 264 from 455 is something to be excited about and I will be hitting that 200 pound loss soon 9 more pounds and there will be a celebration in California. Any here is what I ate yesterday:
  B: 60 grams of protein Shake (took forever to drink it but I love my banana shake)
  12 grams soy milk

I'm glad exercising is giving you a great start to your day. Your Bites look great.

Great news, Sophia! Since our weather has cooled off a little, I've started walking in the morning as soon as it gets light, and I'm enjoying it and feel good.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks!!! I have 13 pounds to go to have lost 100 pounds since my DS. I am praying that I get there before our one year. I am just really enjoying the extra energy that I have since getting to the weight I am at. I wonder if I will be speedy when I get down under 200 pounds??? 

so glad it cooling off for you and exercise is great for the body I am sooooo into it now.
