What are you eating/doing today (Friday)YAYYYYY!

Good morning and may I say, damn you ALL for your talk of Metro cheese bread and mini rice cakes!

Another fun-filled day at work followed by a "can't get there fast enough" drive home, not sure what else we're doing. I have several good movies to watch (I have sinned and visited a flea market last weekend and purchased bootleg movies, forgive me) but we may go out this evening - have to see what the day brings!

Good morning all. Just came fro TWH. Did the taping this morning. It was fun. Lots of questions about before during and after. They are taping people all day. I hope I get to see the final cut. They may not end up using anything I said for all I know.

Home tonight. My DH wants to barbaque a steak. Spring fever ha****

I have seen a lot of debate about carbs lately. I realise I eat a lot more than many people. Some say you should keep it at 50gr. Today I am already at 56. I know yesterday was bad.Having fruit twice in a day seemed to really set it off. I think for me I will just focus on calories. I am not about to start eating a lot of bread and pasta but I think the carbs I am eating like fruit and nuts are healthy enough. I guess we all have a different way of maintaining.

b greek yogurt, granola, raspberries

l chili, source vanilla/chocolate (new flavour, not bad)

s almonds

d steak, mushrooms, salad, green beans

s not sure

so far

cal 967, carb 56, prot 87

That's great! What did they ask you?

changes I made before surgery, how I prepared. Medical changes after like no more diabetes. Exercise what I do. Complications from surgery. Things I thought people should do to prepare. It was a 45 minute interview. I figure if I am lucky they will end up using about 2 minutes. I hope we get to see it.

Awesome!!

Pat you are absolutely right that each of us has to find the right formula for maintenance.  I eat some fruit and also root veggies which are higher in carbs.  I just limit it as I get hungry after.

I love berries - and green beans which you are having today.  Your menu's always look great to me!

Thanks. Everyone has such diverse answers. It is sometimes hard to know if I am doing this right or not. I guess it is a learning process. I was surprised on another board when someone answered a poster that we really do not need so much water. I sure know I do
