What are you eating today?

I've got the Monday Morning blues. Work is so boring this am or maybe its just that I don't want to be here I need some protein, nothing sounds good. The fritos in the snack machine are calling my name very very loudly. The evil oreos are calling even louder I feel like I weigh 284 again even though I lost a pound over the weekend. What a yucky Monday Please give me some good food choice ideas Mary

I got a BMT Wrap from subway. i eat half of the 6 inch wrap.. and save the other half for tomorrow. Might not be the healthiest or packed with protein, but its healthier than what i used to get from subway, 12 inch pepperoni, ham, cheese with everything, and sometimes a 6 inch meatball wowza! my scale has been frozen as well, even went up a little bit.. im trying not to be a scale slave but its driving me the carb is all over me too.. like dawn said before, i think its the weather .. hope u feel better! jen

Oh, I'd forgotten how good Subway was. I loved the tuna with lots of cheese and black olives. Now - Its usually the inside of a turkey wrap. I think I conquered the carb devil. I went and got a sugar free icecream bar and some seedless watermelon cubes then ate a protein bar to be good again. I hope the evil carbs get off your back Mary

Joan, I loved your list. Now my big dilemma is what to name my pouch?!? You have given me several ideas for good choices, which I desperately needed. I did go buy some protein bars and fresh fruit after reading your post (along with just a little bit of bad stuff, sugar free ice cream bars). I would love to do this regularly if anyone else if interested. Mary

BTW Mary I do the food log on fitday.com and then cut and paste the food I had. I also save the menu on Word Perfect (word processing program) so I can use the menu more than once. Joan M

I DO THE NO-SUGAR-ADDED FUDGECICLES ... AS FOR FRUIT, I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE WATERMELON CUBES IN MY FRIDGE FOR SWEETNESS ... &, WHEN THE CARB MONKEY JUMPS ON MY BACK, I SNACK ON THOSE WHITE CHEDDAR QUAKER SOY CRISPS - AT LEAST THEY HAVE A LITTLE PROTEIN ... THE CARB THING IS R-E-A-L-L-Y JAMMIN' MOST OF US! THE FUNNY THING IS THAT MOST OF THE TIME, IT TASTES GOOD IN MY MOUTH BUT MY POUCH TURNS INTO THE "ODIOUS GROUCH POUCH" & CAUSES ME ALL SORTS OF UNPLEASANTNESS SOOOOOOOOOO WHY DO I EAT THEM JUST TO SUFFER? MY WORST ITEMS ARE FRENCH FRIES & THINGS LIKE CHEDDAR PRETZELS ... UHHHH, DAH-UHHHHHHHHHHH! THE GOOD PART IS THAT MY POUCH IS STILL SOMEWHAT IN CONTROL SO I CAN'T EAT A LOT OF THEM, LIKE 4 OR 5 FRENCH FRIES AT A TIME, BUT, WHY I EVEN PUT THEM IN MY MOUTH, I DON'T KNOW. GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk PS: NOW, DON'T FORGET, YOU PROMISED ME YOUR LEFTOVERS FROM YOUR BOOB JOB, SO NO FAIR GIVIN' ANY TO MS KATHY! I NEED ALL THE PLUMPIN' UP I CAN GET! WE ARE SOOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU & KELLY!

Ha Ha Unfortunately I have plenty to spare for all of the SC board. I'm going to try to make Thursday, will you be there? Mary

OK, I'LL SHARE A LITTLE WITH MS KATHY IF YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE THERE'S ENOUGH TO GO AROUND! HOPEFULLY ... IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHEN THEY LET NICK OFF FROM WORK ... BUT, WE WILL CERTAINLY TRY. GOD BLESS YOU ... DAWN & NICk

Anything within my grasp!! I think Rachel cursed me...I am having classic PMS cravings - EARLY. Don't visit the upstate this week, all us ladies will be a little moody! I'm trying to calm the PMS Beyotch down with extra veggies and chewing gum (not at the same time...) but I don;t thinks its working...LOL. Kathy
