yes on the banana....for sure...I just forgot how high in carbs they were!LOL! That was a grab out the door extra I didn't plan...I have some strawberries for today ... some ideas for a low fat high protein food??? Iam having a hard time..because no matter what every protein food I pick jacks up the fat and make me worry.....but GUESS WHAT??? I got on the scale this morning and I was 2 LBS lower than yesterday morning....won't get too excited because I fluctuate sometime but it was good to see the scale going down for a change! I just can't believe how quickly the lbs creeped up on me!!!Thanks as always for your input...I can always count on you!~~~

July,

Talk about something INgrained in my brain. About bananas. Someone, think it was a nutritionist or doctor, not sure, told me

"Instead of eat the banana, how about you suck down 3/4 cup of sugar and a pat of butter?? Its the same thing!". Haven't touched one since.

i saw someone else post a banana on their plan and I freaked out. BUT it's not me and if they can eat it, more power to them. Thankfully I don't care for bananas enough to worry about them. But I put a fresh peach on my plan today, but it's got 12g of carbs and 11g of sugar. Those two values make me squirm. I need therapy for that! lol (well I seriously need it but that's another story.)

Just realized that "eggs" were not written on the top line but were counted in days calories...also forgot to add that I had a turkey and cheese stick roll up for breakfast also...probably upped my fat but also my protein and calories....

Wow, I'm so impressed with this. I need to do this! I would not know where to start. I'd just like to be where I was when I got pregnant with Danson - FIVE years ago.

ok so what do you need help with?
A place to start? you know the rules. go back to the basics...
Protein, water (no starbucks frappes hon lol) leafy greens, EXERCISE

Do the 5 day pouch test if you think it will get you in the right mindset to get going again. Track your food. Youre a numbers person.. use Fitday or daily plate and be accountable for EVERY BITE you put in there. that makes a huge diff for me.
You can do this :)

Where to start..........plan your intake. Prepare for the day and stick to it as much as you can. Join us Jeri, doing something together makes it much easier.

I participate on another board and one of their mottos is........Fail to Plan, Plan to Fail. I keep telling myself that when I feel like not following what I intended to for the day.

I had an OKAY day, but my food choice at lunch could have been better. We went to Chipotle because our catered lunch was a no show and only had 30 minutes to get something so we could eat through the afternoon portion. I did ask for less rice so my total here are probably much higher than what I really ate, but it is just easier to use this than figure what I really ate. Sadly, I finished it off for dinner.

Breakfast:

Oven Ready Bran Muffins, 1 serving (view recipe)	125	19	5	4
Kroger Lowfat Cottage Cheese, 0.5 cup	90	5	2	12
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Regular Spread (Stick), 1 Tbsp, 0.25 serving	23	0	3	0

My calories are about 100 - 150 higher than normal, and my carbs are about 30 higher than I'd like and then nothing needs to be said about the fat. Chipotle will get you every time.

I got my water and my vit!!!!

Today should be a more realistic view of my diet since I have my lunch packed and ready to go.

Okay - I had a good day - I think so...........no veggies nor no fruit........so I'm bummed about that.....
I am having LOTS OF HUNGER..........GO FIGURE..............IT IS NOT HEAD HUNGER because when I feel what I"m having - I stop to assess it to see what it is...........I'm feeding it....but I fed it with allowable things..............maybe not so good of choices....but NO CHIPS...NO ICE CREAM AND/OR ANY OTHER CRAP...............I AM RELEARNING TO SAY NO......................

p.s.. THOSE dang Chik-fil-A breakfast nuggets w/ the little mini breads around them...yummmeo.
