The Feed Bag

Hey everyone!! Whatcha eating?  Getting in that protein and those fluids?  You'd better!!!! Yesterday: B - Protein bar, watermelon L - OMG! *thud* - Now, I am NOT a fast food eater.  But for some reason, the Long John Silver's down the street was calling my name.  So I went and had *thud* a piece of fried fish, some lobster bites and a hush puppy.  Yes, I know.  But I never eat this kind of stuff and it was SOOOOOO good.  But just the smell of the grease alone was enough to not make me want it again for a while!! D - Naked chicken tender wrap with Asian Zing sauce S - Nectarine All my fluids, all my vits!!! NEXT!!! Tia

Bad day for me B-Bagel and Cream Cheese Snack - Apple and cheese Lunch-roast beef sandwich Dinner OUtback Steak house Prime Rib about 4 bites, couple bites of salad, couple bites of baked potato wth sour cream and butter, chives and bacon 2 bites of a soft prezel kit kat bar 32 oz diet coke 32 oz water yea, bad jen....still a stress eater, I guess *sigh*

It's so weird, I always have trouble remembering what I ate, but here it is: B - 2 oz grilled chicken (Tyson), with 1/2 pc cheese melted over top. S - s/f Applesauce L - 1/4 c cottage cheese, 1 oz grilled chicken and a slice of peach from the salad bar at Giant D - 6 saltine crackers, 4 w/cream cheese, 2 with refried beans. S - S/F rita's (tangerine) was hoping this would help my situation and it hasn't.

hmmmm.....yesterday was exciting and then ended with a bust b - two strips of veggie bacon and oatmeal s - protein shake l - a small side salad grilled chicken caesar with vinnaigrette on the side  (AMBROSIA!!!!!) s - protein shake after workout snack- protein shake d - here's where I go bust.  I thought I would try a half of a whole wheat soft tortilla with some refried beans and salsa and cheese on it......one bite of the tortilla and my pouch was NOT happy......so I just ate the rest of the toppings and left it at that. all my vits and I'm about 14 ounces shy of all my liquids.

Aaron:  I definately cannot do soft tortillas either.  YUCK!  I had a day where nothing got stuck, can you imagine!!!

WOW!!!  a day without getting stuck is like a day in paradise!  but you know it's my own doing.....I take a bit and it gets past my tongue too soon and I can feel it go down all the way.....and then the feeling of either puking or severe pain is going to come.  Yikes I hate that feeling.

Mee too!!!  My old habits die hard.  It is so difficult for me not to drink when I'm eating.  And, I so much want to be able to eat bread.  I could make a meal off of a good slice of bread and a piece of cheese.  It's just not working.  Probably better that it's not!!!!

Lisa - See my note to Aaron about crisping the tortilla in a frying pan.  It helps!! Also, I promise you, those stuck days WILL become fewer.  Just remember to chew well and add lube!! Tia

Aaron - Next time, plop filled tortilla in a frying pan sprayed with Pam.  It'll crisp up nicely and hopefully, will go down easier!!!   Any bread products STILL do not like me all the time - it's kind of hit or miss with them!!! Help this helps!! Tia

Tia, I think you're right.....if I crisp it up on both sides then I won't have much trouble getting it chewed up finely. Thanks for that dear!
