The Feed Bag

Okay, folks, following Cira's suggestion (hey, she IS older and wiser than I), let's review what we ate and drank on Monday: Fluids - Between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m., I had 135.2 oz. of water and 76.0 oz. of coffee/tea/iced tea, for a whopping total of 211.2 oz.   Food - B - Greek yogurt with dark cherries, Splenda and Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal L - Chicken Fiesta Salad D - 4 TJ's mini chicken tacos with fresh salsa Okay, your turn!!!! Tia

Well I can go as far as breakfast this morning and that was cream of wheat. We will see what lunch brings today, I NEED PROTEIN!

Okay, I turned you on to Greek yogurt - WHY are you eating Cream of Wheat?  Besides the fact that you like it of course.  Does it have ANY protein?  Quaker makes a great Weight Control oatmeal, has more protein than normal. PROTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tia

Yesterday I had: turkey on light (low carb, high fiber) bread --  200 cal/22 pro extend crisps --120 cal/8 pro salad with turkey/HB egg/lt italian  -- 200 cal/20pro fresh melon -- 100 cal dry kashi/dried fruit (1/4 c snack)  150/6 pro barley salad (with skim cheese and turkey cut up in it)  150/10 Apple -- 100

turkey on lt (same a breakfast) -  200 cal/ 22 pro

 

And I did the 3 mile, 45 minute walking workout

Very good, Caryn.  I'm impressed!!! Tia

You know, I'm thinking I'm going to have it really good when I go on regular food because I really love most fat free foods (although I have to check out the sugar content in some).

Hey there, my bearded friend.  I'll respond to your pm a little later, didn't want you to think I forgot. Yes, fat free and sugar free foods have come a long way.  But like you said, you still need to watch the sugars, sugar alcohols, and carbs. You're on the right track and probably what, 30 pounds down now, darn you!!!!!  LOL!! Tia

yesterday i ate the inside of a bagel with egg, sausage and cheese. then later i ate a piece of chicken from the vending machine. that means it was a processed chicken. so not sure what was added to it. when i got home, i ate a crab cake and after making egg bites i ate four of those. i also had a sugar free frozen pop. i drank about 8 glasses of water. not sure how you get so much fluid in tia. that is nuts.

Hey Nic! Doesn't sound too bad at all.  As far as all the fluids, I am constantly drinking from the minute I get up until about 30 minutes before bedtime.  In fact, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I use the Walmart brand of Crystal Light, and I think the artificial sweeteners make me MORE thirsty.  You'll rarely see me without a drink (NOT THAT KIND!) in my hand.   Tia

Yeah I know I am older than you but hey you don't need to rub it in so early in the freakin morning! LOL Yesterday: B - Coffe 8 oz w/ non dairy creamer & splenda 45 minutes later peanut butter and jelly sandwich (1 slice of whole wheat bread) L- 1 String cheese, a few wheat thins (about 10) 1/4 of mixed vegetables D- 3 tablespoons of rice & pigeon peas 1 1/2 chicken wings S- 1 small orange 70 oz of water Tia how the heck do you drink all that fluid you must have a hole somewhere that is leaking like heck! LOL
