What are you eating/doing today? (Wednesday)

Good morning everyone.  I woke up at 1:30 so let's hope I can get back to sleep for a few hours or my day is shot.

Today I will be swimming, then yoga, yard work, and general household cleanup and meals.  Yesterday I made Italian Chicken Meatballs in Marinara in the crockpot.  They were good, but DH won't eat anything in a tomato sauce so it means that I will have at least another 3-4 meals of meatballs.  After WLS I really have to want something in particular to commit to that many meals of one particular food.  I hate to waste food so I end up with a freezer full of leftovers.

B. Large Fit Frappe Protein Vanilla Latte.  It's nice and hot and I'm drinking it now

S. Iced decaf before swimming

S2. After swimming and before yoga, a Ciao Carb Protein cookie (orange covered in chocolate)

L. Beef fajita with fresh salsa and a little LF sour cream.  May just have the fajita innards, I do have low carb wraps but they are pretty filling

S. Skinny decaf latte

D. Chicken meatballs in marinara sauce with some sauteed zucchini "noodles".

S. More of what I had for dinner.

Have a great day everyone, and as Betony said yesterday, tell your family you love them.

Wishing you good luck with your continued "moving project", Barb - I know what a stress moving can be, even it it's not necessarily your own. ;)

Nice menu, I love those salmon burgers.  Wish I could get my protein numbers that high.  I am trying to balance keeping my calorie count lower, and protein high.  Why can't the scientists create a really low calorie protein  wishful thinking I guess.  

Your pouch will mature eventually so that you can eat more protein - a blessing and a curse

You will notice that almost my entire menu ( other then the jello and asparagus) is protein centered.  Keeps me full and keeps my protein numbers up

I did finally get more sleep, thanks Barb. Maybe tonight I'll take a Benedryl.  Hopefully your moving will be done soon.

This is my second day of opti, only 19 more to go after this. Today I will be working from 6-230pm, I work at a conferencing center.

Morning all,

CC, hope you got some more sleep - running on a couple of hours can't last. Your lunch sounds fabulous :)

Off to work in a few minutes. I am more than slightly overwhelmed at the moment with my unexpected additional work load (and assignment due by midnight - ugh). The prospect of the next 5 days have me mentally repeating the message posted on my fridge: "Never give up, no matter how much 'you've got to be ******g kidding me' life throws at you." I think I'll take it off my fridge and post it in my office. lol
