Obedient October Thursday
Okay here we are in a nice cool October in which we are going to try our best to be OBEDIENT in regard to our surgeons rules and everything we may have ever learned about eating after WLS...
eat low carb, high protein, take our vitamins and supplements, get in plenty of protein and liquids, and exercise.
I am up 3 lbs, but not from the weekend, but the last couple of days going a little hog wild! It's back to the grind.
Plan for today:
lots of liquids
protein coffee being downed now
Atkins shake
chef salad w/ light Caesar for lunch
pork chops with stroganoff sauce for dinner...no starch though
high protein snack
What's your plan to start Obedient October?
I am going to walk at the park if it isn't raining after work...if it is I'll ride my bike at home.

Good morning, KARLA!
My "Thursday" ziplock baggie is already in my purse-will put it by my computer-next to my water glass-as soon as I get to work
Have had 17 gm protein-in coffee-so far-shooting for 100 gm by the end of the day (I plan for 100, so I'll get 80..lol)
Have turkey and green stuff for lunch, Carmel rice cake, apple and PB for snack (broken down to cover 2 snacks)
Have chicken pre-cooked for supper so WILL eat..then another shake or protein pudding somewhere in the evening
Not sure exactly where the exercise will happen today...still working on that one..wearing pedometer, for starters...

I am still up to 158.8 from last Thursdays' 157.0 but I haven't been evening compliant! Last night was chili and cornbread and Fritos at dinner at church. (OMG where are the compliance police to tell me off???!! lol)
We are debating going to shiner this weekend but with the potential flooding I think we will stay home. SO, I need to make a good game plan for the month. I will have to eat what is in the frig till pay day on the 10th, but then I need to get CHEAP but healthy and filling. don't know if that all exists. I doubt after almost two years of trying that I will see 149 but I do feel more comfortable on the low side of the 50's. So there is always something to work for.
I am thinking of starting a BTB type thread but it will stand for Back to Budgeting!

Going in to get a fill Saturday morning and praying for my level of restriction to come back that I had before my plastics in July. The scale just bounces around with no real weight loss in months....
So here's my plan for today.
B: yogurt w/kashi
L: taco soup and SF pudding
S: protein bar
D: talpia and salad
S: protein drink
Have a great day everyone!!!!!

If our work has those amazing tea cake cookies today I'm going to hurt somebody. OMG, they are simply the best, especially with coffee. I'm again not prepared for the day, evenings just have been busy and I haven't been to the grocery store since we got back.
I do have homemade veggie and stew meat in the crock pot for dinner.....the only thing I like about cooler weather is all the soups and gumbos.
Semi-plan for today:
Breakfast: summer sausage and cheese
Snack: maybe a power crunch bar
Lunch: country style ribs and chowder peas that need to be eaten
Snack: not sure if anything
Dinner: homemade soup
Somewhere in there I know I should add a shake.....laziness doesn't help, does it?

I still don't have a definite plan just yet. I have been attempting to watch my calories. I must start back exercising. My excuse has been...I am too busy. Well, if I want to reach my goal prior to my three year bandiversary, I can't have ANY excuses.

I started the day with a 2 mile walk. It's the first time I've exercised since early summer. I'm training to hike up Enchanted Rock with my daughter and son-in-law later this month.
Today's plan:
Coffee
B - Greek yogurt, blueberries, walnuts
L - 1/2 of a turkey and cheese sandwich on sourdough bread with lettuce and tomatoes
D - Roasted pork tenderloin with raspberry chipotle sauce, mashed sweet potatoes and salad
Snacks if needed - Atkins protein shake, peanut butter with crackers
Karla, I would like to respectfully suggest that you add the term "back to basics" or even just "B2B" to the beginning of these post titles. First of all, it would help me to find the post every day no matter what the name of the month is. And secondly, I think that it's not always clear to people what the post is. I enjoy the cute names, but until Stephanie explained it to me back in August, I didn't understand what this post was about. You may remember that I started one which was basically the same thing and called it "What are you eating today?"
