Eating Good...I'm baaaack....
Pretty quiet day today, didn't feel too well so I just lazed around in between bouts of housework. Here's my damage for the day...and I couldn't seem to get full so I had a lot of calories...too many in my opinion.
Out of bed....Coffee w/protein mixed w/milk...if you haven't noticed, I like this stuff. I only discovered it about a year ago. Couldn't stand the stuff before.
Breakfast....protein bar
Lunch...1/2 c leftover cashew chicken, sugar free pudding cup
Snack...(or second lunch...sigh) 2 oz deli meat, 2 slices cheese and 2 dill pickle spears...wrapped, then another protein bar
Dinner....I'm going to try my chicken and broccoli but since I ate so much my Oscar is grumbly, so I may not eat.
Stats for the day with the chicken & broccoli...1360 cal, 109 g carbs, 94 g protein, 48 g fat. If I decide not to eat, I will fix the stats later.
Yesterdays stats looked better (sort of)....1178 cal, 131 g carbs, 86 g protein, 29 g fat...yuck, way too many carbs.
How did you all do?
Coffee Protein Shake this morning 30 grams
Pumpkin Protein Shake in the afternoon 30 grams
That's it for the day....
All my water Vits
Walked 3 miles... I for got to take the pain meds before I walked and boy oh boy!!!! ouch but have managed not to take any all day long.....
Am drinking a cup of peppermint tea.... then may have snack....
I was not all that thrilled about the pumpkin protein shake.... It just seemed like it was "missing" something... my daughter told me she had tried it and thought the same thing.
1 cup skim milk in shaker bottle with 30 grams of vanilla protein powder shaken up
I then added 2 to 3 T of pumpkin and Splenda to taste, a pinch of pumpkin pie spice... it just didn't suit me so I added a half T of sf, ff vanilla instant pudding ..... that thickened it up but still I thought it was "missing" something so I put a bit of vanilla in it and that's how I drank it but I'm going to try again.... wonder what if I made the crustless pumpkin pie and then shook it up in a shake? or use butter scotch sf ff instant pudding in the shake with the other stuff? wonder if it would give it more of a flavor? Oh well that's what I did and it was tolerable but not fantastic... maybe some of you can think of another alternative to give it just that right taste?
Brandy ~ have you ever heard of a pumpkin pie protein shake or maybe you have an idea to make this one a bit better?
Wonder if you could make an eggnog shake for Christmas? Something to think about.
