Let's talk about food, baby...
Did we let the daily menu go at some point?? I think we did and I just realized it over the weekend, so I will get the ball rolling again. What are you eating today?
I am just over 2 years out.
B: 3/4 cup Special K protein cereal with 4 oz skim milk......14 grams
S: Cheese.....8 grams
L: Weigh****chers meal.....22 grams
S: Pear
D: Turkey burger, no bun, cheese, turnup greens, tomato....30 grams
Decaf with skim....5 grams
I brought a baggy full of sf popsicles in to try to fight off the grazing I have been struggling with at work.
79 grams protein

Yep - the menu thing kind of fell by the wayside. A few weeks ago JoJo (I think) had started it up again - but we haven't been consistent.
I'm annoyed because out of no where the scale says I'm up about 5 pounds. It's not that time of the month and I have been very careful - except that last night I did something I normally don't do and had 2 light schmirnoff ice beverages. Perhaps that has something to do with it? Anyway - need to be pretty careful this week to try to get that number to move.
11 mos out tomorrow:
B: Greek Yogurt 18gm
S: 2 cheesesticks 16gm
L: Ham and cheese 15gm
S: Three Cheese Tortellini w/ fresh mozz and home made spaghetti sauce 15gm
**nap time before work**
At work:
Ricotta cheese 20gm
SB Protein Bar 10gm
Total: 94gm

Grazing at work is becoming an issue for me as well - right now I'm not that busy, so picking at stuff is very easy to do. I brought a lot of 'good' stuff in with me today - I don't graze on sweets or anything like that, but crunchy carbs are my downfall. And I didn't weigh myself this morning, either, and I usually do that on Mondays, but this week is my TOM so that's never a good time to weigh in!
As for men I think this is what it is:
B: Protein Shake = 25
S: Banana & Small Protein Bar = 15
L: Progesso Lite Soup, Stringcheese, TLC Crackers = 15
S: Apple w/Simply Jiff PB = 8
D: Salad; Angel hair pasta w/sauce & meatballs = 15
S: SF Pudding = 2
Total = 80 (Goal is 73 g protein per day)

Grazing at work has been bad for me. I am used to doing one on one therapy. It is very intense and you dont eat while doing it. Now I am sitting at a desk on the phone in front of a computer you better bet I am grazing. I have gained 5 lbs since starting this damn job.
Popscicles that is a good idea. I am starting to use my nutritionist info about 1 cup of food.
Did you know that 1 scrambled egg is 1/2 a cup. See I was not doing as bad as i thought. well at least not for breakffast it. It is the whole can of nuts at work that does it. LOL
B- I scrambled egg with cheese and onions.
S- Chai latte
L- 1 cup of meatballs.
S- 1 cup of greek yogurt with SF preserves.
D- will probably be a south beach meal. screw the cup they arent that big. lol
I have been eating a piece of toast or something at night when get home at 1pm. because i need a transition. I think tonight I will drink a protein shake instead.
I am used to eating every 3 hrs so we will see if this works. I have to say I am panicking looking at the menu thinking i am gonna starve. Thank God for my small pouch and CBT techniques.
