Happy Friday Gang!! Glad it is finally the weekend. The week went by pretty fast probably because I was busy at work and at home. I have three huge bags of papers/junk to toss from going through more stuff in the office. I was looking at it this morning, and I can't believe how much stuff I had just thrown in there. Still have a ways to go, but I've made just a huge dent that I'm getting excited to get the garden stuff started.
Remember how I said yesterday I found the food journal I originally used when I was first out of surgery (it was fully filled out), well I found another one that I must have bought but never used. So starting Monday I will be tracking everything again like I did when first out of surgery. The name of it is DietMinder.
QOTD: Do you keep yourself well hydrated? I know some struggle with drinking enough fluids including water. I keep well hydrated all have. Sometimes I think I might drink too much water, but besides water I only ever have coffee, tea, or a protein shake. My main source of fluids is just good ole H2O.
B: mushroom coffee made with premier protein caramel
L: 4oz chicken breast with 1/2 cup steamed broccoli salt/pepper 1tbsp butter
D: Not sure if I'm going to make fish or not I will leave that up to Irvin
I did the treadmill at home this morning for 30 minutes.
Have a great day and weekend everyone!!

Good mornin Jennifer and readers!
I am feeling rough this mornin but have a pt appointment today. I also decided last night to change my storage situation for beside my chair. So we are going to the thrift store to check out if they have anything. If not it's Walmart. Not sure what I'm looking for. My mom expects me to keep most of it in my room. It's not fair really but it is what it is...I guess. lol. I'm hoping for something that'll hold a bit of stuff. Wish me luck!
I'm hoping for another good eating day. Last night I got a bit sick with my stomach. I think it's TOM related. We need to get a few groceries.
QOTD: I wouldn't have passed out, I would've paid attention to my light head feeling and sat down on my bed instead of falling right on my ass and back. Also I would've done counseling from the very beginning. That's really the big one. I thought I had it down but my mind was mucked up more than I realized.
B: boiled eggs, grape tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, ricotta, 1 slice whole wheat toast and coffee.
L: leftover pork chop and I think I'll roast the rest of the carrots. Apple and PB
D: we're not sure, I'd like to make some hamburger soup. We have a chance of an ice storm tomorrow or snow. We'll see what mother nature decides. W need the moisture.
Happy Friday-Eve Menuer's. The roads were very slick this morning with blac**** and unfortunately I saw a pretty bad accident on my way into work. I'm not sure how many cars were involved but it was multiple ones. People traveling way to fast and not paying attention to the condition of the roads. Hopefully no one was seriously injured.
Irvin got me so inspired with the cleaning he did the other day that last night I spent 3 hours sorting through stuff in the office and took two huge bags of junk/trash into work with me. I would say I got 1/3 of it cleaned out. Even started organizing my craft and gardening stuff better. I found one of the original food journals that I used when I first had the bypass done. I think I'm going to order another one of them.
QOTD: If you could go back to when you first had surgery what would you do different? I would definitely take better advantage of the honeymoon period to get all the weight off and some extra. I also would have had a set exercise plan in place. Sometimes I feel like I failed myself even though I have been able to keep 70lbs off. Of course I still need to lose a good 50-60.
B: mushroom chai made with premier protein
L: 4oz boneless skinless chicken breast with one slice of Swiss cheese and 1 cup steamed zucchini
D: none trying to stick to one meal
Irvin and I are set to meet with one of the trainers on Saturday morning to get a set workout plan in place. Pretty excited about it.
Have a great day everyone!!

Mel that's awesome. Some people may not think 7lbs is a big deal, but I sure know it is. I'm so happy for you.

Good afternoon to all of you.
Not a lot happening today we had an appointment for the cars maintenance. That was long and frustrating...always is. But it's done for a good while. They even washed it for free so hey, it was worth it.
My Mayo Clinic plan is working. I've lost about 7 pounds already. I know some is water weight but I'm happy with it. I'm had the chance to get a fast food burger meal and diet pop and turned it down. I didn't even feel tempted. I haven't had pop in weeks. I don't miss it either.
QOTD: the diet plan has a tracker so right now I'm using that and measuring...everything.
B: light English muffin breakfast sandwich with ricotta, egg, sausage and 1 tbs of bruschetta
L: a burrito and an apple with 1tbs of crunchy PB
D: something with pork chops and veggies...prob carrots.
have a good afternoon y'all!
Good morning. I am going to try and post more often. My weight is up like 10 lbs since October. I know a lot of it is carb bloat and hormonal. I need to push the water and stick to protein and vegetables. I also need to quit eating so much cheese.
QOTD- I use my fitness pal. I need to be more careful with weighing and measuring and not eyeball it.
food plan for today-
scrambled eggs with taco meat
chicken sausage with cottage cheese
shrimp and cabbage stirfry
chomps and boiled eggs for snack
Have a great day!
Happy Hump Day Gang!! Thankfully the forecast for icy conditions did not happen this morning. Instead, it was warm enough to just have some rain. I did leave a bit earlier for work just in case. Not much going on today at work just finishing up my month/year end stuff.
When I got home Irvin had washed the kitchen and bathroom floors, swept the hallway and living room and cleaned up the attached garage. We had been throwing boxes and stuff in there. I think he said today he was going to sort through some more of his stuff in the basement and toss what he doesn't need or is just no good.
QOTD: I know I've asked this before, but what do you use to track food, cals, fats, carbs,etc.? I've used my Fitbit, Myfitnesspal, and handwritten things out, but for some reason I can't seem to stick to anything long term like I did when I was first out of surgery. I know there are days that I think I'm eating the right amount, but I don't think I am and I do think that is part of my problem with being stuck in the weight loss. If anyone has any other suggestions I'm all ears.
B: mushroom coffee made with premier protein
L: 2 slices deli ham and 2 slices of cheddar cheese on a spinach wrap
D: hoping to skip it again like I did last night
I'm calling the Y today to see who is available for personal trainers to get with to set a workout plan up.
Have a great day everyone!!

Good mornin Jennifer and all.
Not just a whole lot to do today. We need to go get dog food but that's the only thing we have to do.
The appointment went ok. I am going to switch providers. I may wait until after the next appointment. My case manager said a lot of people say the same things about the guy. Never listens, says the same **** over and over and doesn't read your chart. I am done. There is only one other provider I haven't done anything with yet. My provider also told me if I can't get in with her that they'll work with me to find a private practice provider. I am relieved, to say the least.
food ended up different yesterday. For lunch I had a fresh tamale (green cheese and chilies) with a bit of salsa. Also strawberries. I also ahead a sliver of supreme pizza...all tracked.
QOTD: I am working on stress eating the most. So far I'm doing better. It is my hardest thing. I gave in Saturday but I didn't go nuts. I stopped and didn't throw the entire day away,
B: eggs, Gorgonzola, and snack crackers...coffee
L: not 100% sure. Prob a salad with a chicken breast fillet. Maybe cheese on it and an apple with 1tbs PB
D: pork teriyaki stir fry.
S: veggies and the rest of strawberries with some whipped cream
have a good one y'all.
me in I believe 3rd or 4th grade.
Morning Gang. We have LOTO training going on which stands for lockout tagout due to the fact that at a few other facilities there have been injuries because of improperly locking out equipment. There will be another training like this on Thursday to get the rest of the employees who couldn't make it today.
I cleaned off my center island last night. It amazes me how much junk can accumulate on a flat surface. Irvin is looking to go back to work even though he's retired. He's just bored at home and wants to make extra money to buy land.
QOTD: What's a weight loss thing you're working on this year? I'm working on a more structured workout plan. Yea we've been going to the Y, but honestly, we've been doing a little of this and that and nothing really structured. I'm going to see about getting with one of the personal trainers to get on a schedule.
B: coffee and breakfast wrap with egg/bacon/cheese
L: leftover pot roast
D: skipping dinner working towards doing one meal a day
Irvin did a 4 day fast and got his blood sugar down to 95 and he's doing OMAD with it being a good high protein.
We will discuss tonight how we want to go forward with the workouts.
Have a great day everyone!!!
