Those are great steps! Any time I go over 10,000, I figure it's been a fabulous day.  More for the team! :)

I had a rough day yesterday at an all day conference in Toronto.  I had some greek yogurt before I left but didn't want to do my normal protein shake in the magic bullet because it was 6am and didn't want to wake my husband.  I was hungry when I got to the conference and they had tons of fruit and of course sweets/breads danishes etc.  I had some fruit and water which was fine.  Lunch wasnt' too bad-grabbed a tuna wrap and a small chicken sandwich and ate the insides...then I spotted the oven fired pizza-and I wasn't even hungry but man did I ever want some so I got a small piece and had 2 bites.  I didn't need it and definitely wasn't hungry but couldnt' stop myself.  I did manage to avoid all the sweets but to top it off when leaving they had bags of Doritos-so I grabbed some and nibbled on them.  I was so mad at myself as I definitely didn't need that crap in my body.  This battle is ongoing!

That does sound like a tough day. I always find all day meetings, especially ones held offsite or at hotels, to be very challenging.  I try to bring snacks, but even then it's hard because there's nowhere to refrigerate or warm anything up. 

I know you're thinking about the impulsiveness of what you ate, but from what you've said above, it sounds to me like even though you ate a few things you didn't need, you still controlled yourself pretty well on the portions.  As you say, the battle is ongoing, and you'll have days like these - and then you'll have awesome days. 

Better luck today!

It is a daily struggle for sure. Today is a better hun....Take care Monica ...Krista..

Good morning everyone!!

It's been a rough few days but being home now is mUch better! 

Surgery went well. Tuesday afternoon I started feeling alot of pain and the nurse noticed that my drains were draining quite fast. She called the dr and he came to check on me right away! I could feel something not right and told him. He read my chart and and examined me, he agreed and within half an hour, I was back in the OR. I got back to my room after 9pm, another 3hr surgery. He found a bloodclot and took care of it. I am soooo grateful to him! I had a rough nights sleep and slept most of the day, until I left in the afternoon. It is sooooo nice to be back in my own bed! I slept pretty good last night

I could not bring myself to eat the yuckky hospital foods. gross!

I am going to try to have a protein shake today and get as much liquids as I can in.

Have a great day everyone :)

Thank goodness your nurse and doctor were so proactive.

Wishing you a speedy and painless recovery!

Glad you are okay. I agree with you about hospital food. That is how I lost my last 20 lbs

I'm glad to hear your surgery went well, but sorry to hear that you had to go back in the OR!  Glad everything is resolved now.
