What are you eating/doing today? (Thursday)

You can totally lose those 5 pounds!! I got off a few extra before my PS too. I read that the more you have off, the looser the skin will be and they have more to work with. Made sense to me! 

So excited for you!!

nods!!!  I know I can do it, I MUST be diligent!! 

THX Kelly!! 

I filled up on protein shakes afterwards too. I wasn't hungry much, so took advantage of that.

I will have shakes on hand fooorrr sure! I also made chili and some AWESOME soup for the freezer. I wanted to make it a little easier for Stevie! I am soooo picky and thought this would be proactive

You got lumpy ones too??  I'm so unhappy - I bought three cases of Premier Protein shakes from Costco in November and I think they must have let them freeze on the truck or in storage or something, because mine are lumpy too.  I really need to take them back.  Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Yep! I thought it was mebut after trying 3, I had enough and took them back

RNY, 1 year 2 months post-op

Good morning, everyone!

I started today out with a 10KM run on the treadmill which felt great!  Now my next challenge is to stick to my meal plan and stop the mindless snacking, particularly at night.  It's been a bad month or so (pretty much since my cruise in late November), and now I've got 10lbs I need to re-lose to get back to goal!   Nothing is really bothering me anymore from a food standpoint including sugar, which is not a good thing.  So it's all on me now to keep my eating in check.

I keep trying to figure out how to change my ticker to reflect the weight gain, but for some reason I can't seem to figure it out in the new message board format.  Any tips would be great!

Here's my plan for the day:

B - protein bar, 2 clementines

S - pepperettes

L - egg salad, 3 pieces melba toast, spinach salad

S - Armstrong cheese string

D - Ham, peppers

S - Cottage cheese with cinnamon/splenda, jello

Totals - 1423 calories, 107g carbs, 66g fat, 102g protein

Have a great day!

Oy! I find it so hard to run that far on a treadmill. Good for you! I can't stand it myself. I'm going spinning in the morning, because it's too cold out for me too. I swore that I ran in the cold weather last year, but remembered that I had my PS in January, and didn't run again for six weeks, so I missed all the cold weather (since it was milder before that). I need to get up and go to the gym now instead.

 

I agree, it is nowhere near as fun as running outside!  I have to play a lot of mind games with myself to get through the hour.  Having good music helps, but I much prefer running outside!  There's no way I could do it in this cold/snow though.

Happy New Year!

Got thru the holidays just fine. First ones that I am post-op and also first ones where I lost weight. I had said goodbye to all of the special treats last year so I was prepared this year to not have any. Made sure there was a dessert for me, strawberries with a bit of whipped cream while everyone else had x-mas cookies and apple strudel.

Back at work today and it is really quiet here.

B - protein shake with coconut dream

L - black forest ham slices with laughing cow cheese, blueberries

S - premier protein shake

D - some kind of protein with veggies

Have a great one everyone!
