What are you eating/doing today (Wednesday)

Fantastic Krista.....its pretty good if this is for life eh?.....yes you can have the occasional splurge....but eating as you are is OK.....well done

Morning all :)

Exciting day for me - paint team coming at 8:15 to start painting my entire interior. I cannot wait until its done and Im praying to GAWD I like the colours I chose on my walls and not just on the little colour pallet thingy. LOL Anyway, going to be kind of out of commission via computer for a few days but will pop in when I can. Have a great time with your friends, Barb! Tracey, sorry you haven't been feeling well, fast healing.

Thanks! Excited but a wee bit stressed! lol Have a good one Jo :)

Have fun with that!! LOL We are looking at doing our kitchen, and even just planning it is stressing me out!

I just totally redid my kitchen and bathroom (rental management paid for thank gawd), redoing the hardwood in the living/dining on Tuesday and totally repaintng whole house starting today (I paid for). Totally stressful, agreed! But so worth it :)

Good morning all, Went to the doctor yesterday for a check up. Came out with a pile of forms. blood work, xrays, prescriptions. I thought I might as well go for the x-ray. I took the bus to the Danforth but that location did not do xrays. Somehow I miss read and miss heard that the other office was at Main St. So I thought I should walk. As neared I looked at the form again to realise the location was the other way. So decided to walk home with a stop for a coffee. Got in lots of steps.

I am going to a pot luck tonight. So I have put in chicken and salad because I will take that. I made a quinoa salad with chicken from the Ontario recipes. Turned out well. I think I will take extra chicken so I can be sure to have enough protein.

I will have to add in later what I had at dinner and snack

s greek yogurt, granola, raspberries

s apple

l chicken stir fry, yogurt

s hummus, carrots

d chicken, salad ?

So far Cal 832, carb 90, prot 63.5

16 months post op. I have 8lbs on that is just NOT coming off, despite being very strict for a month (wouldn't even have a glass of wine, doubled up workouts on spring break) so I am trying to switch up my eating. I am filled with so much anxiety with so many conflicting statements. AM I eating too little that it's slowing my metabolism? Am I eating too much? Is this part of the normal bounceback I was told about? Is this the beginning of regaining it all?

SO, right now I am trying to get my protein from beans and fish only, instead of poultry (I was eating a lot of chicken) But now my carbs are higher and my protein is low. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm not happy, the food anxiety is killing me. I can't heed the "just relax" or "you need to live too" advice because I stepped on the scale yesterday and saw 179.6, a 3.6 lbs gain from Friday. I'm at my wits end. Honestly.

B: 1/2 cup greek yogurt, 1/4 cup bran buds, 1tbsp chia, 1/2tsp matcha green tea powder, 1/4 cup blueberries
S: 4 pieces of protein crunch
L: 1/2 cup black beans, 1/2 cup arugala/spinach, 1/4 cup brown rice, 3tbsp salsa
S: 2 baby bel & 1 apple
D: haddock loin, 1/2 cup spinach blue cheese salad- 1 square of 90% dark chocoalte
S: 2tbsp of PB

Will be going for a run today. I'm not lifting weights because I need to ditch this water retention. I'll try my best at jogging since I'm still congested from this chest cold

Totals- I'll add something else later since the calories are low. I'm aiming for 1100

Cals: 977
Protein: 72
