A run outside at lunch, weather permitting, and then to the gym after work with a massage later tonight.

Morning

7 pounds down in one week of low carb/calorie! Likely 5 of the pounds will be water weight. I can gain it just as fast but at least I feel better and my clothes fit better. A couple more pounds and I'll be down a size.

POUCH STILL WORKS if you fill it with dense protein

EATS

B - 2 slices of peameal bacon

L - Half cup of tuna salad on cucumber coins

D - Beef tenderloin 5 oz

Few carrots

S - source yogurt X 2 with a squirt of light whip topping X 2

1 sargento marble cheese snack with 4 low sodium triscuits

MYFITNESSPAL totals for the above menu are : Calories - 819, Carbs - 47 Grams, Protein - 85 Grams

All water and vits. Plus decaf coffee

Have a great one

That's awesome Barb. I'm up a couple lbs from vacation but I'm back to eating on plan. Doesn't take long to get it off if you follow the rules. Good luck with the next couple of pounds.

Good morning everyone. I have spent the last hour on the phone, lol. Time to get my butt in gear. Ginny you are doing great. I always have to talk myself in to working out, but feel so much better after.

Birdie dropping 7 in one week would make you feel more comfortable and make the clothes fit better. I hate feeling bloated.

This morning I'm going swimming and then a yoga class tonight. This afternoon I have to take the car in for a quote on repairs, then run some errands.

The eats today at 2.5 years post-op are:

rivers of decaf with Premier Protein Vanilla used as creamer/sweetener

Salad with tuna fillets on top and Bolthouse Avocado/Cilantro dressing

Jalapeno/Cheddar burger with more cheese melted on top, avocado, fresh salsa, no bun

Hardboiled egg before bed (I really need to pick up SKYR today)

Have a great day everyone.

Hey CC. Do you make those burgers or buy them?

I bought them at Market Fresh in Guelph. Really good. I like their blue cheese and bacon burgers too. More bacon flavour than blue cheese which is fine by me.

Good morning everyone,

Thanks Monica for your suggestion. Although we aren't supposed to have red meat for 6 months, since the ground beef was already cooked, I added just two teaspoons to the meatless chili and it went down just fine.

B - protein shake

S - Skyr yogurt and applesauce

L - my chili with 2 tsp. of ground beef, 1 tsp. parmesan and some hot sauce

S - Skyr yogurt and applesauce

D - 1/2 grilled turkey burger with a slice of tomato and 1 tsp. low fat mayo.

Calories: 525, Protein: 75, Carbs.: 50. All water and vitamins.

Enjoy your day.

Hi Linda,

Why can't you have red meat? I wasn't given that restriction at all and have been eating steak at least twice a week.

I wonder why all of the centers are so very different?

Guelph told me no red meat for 6 months because it is hard to digest. Every centre is different in their guidelines.

Good morning :)

Late start for me again. Today I have a massage. We have been working on different areas that have been sore/off since my hip issue. My aunt (also an RMT) calls it patterning. You compensate for your injury, but then your leg hurts, or your knee, or your shoulder, etc.

Yesterday I ended up going to Value Village and picking up a few things. When I got home I made soup with random things we already have and it turned out really well. But our friend brought take out over to celebrate some exciting news in her life. I ended up getting the shakes after, so I think there was too much sugar in something. Back on track today.

Breakfast - protein shake

Snack - carrots and pb

Lunch - chili, cheese

Snack - peameal bacon

Dinner - soup, chicken

Snack - pudding

All water and vits.
