Whatcha eating today VSGers...Thursday!!

Thanks for the positive wishes. Surgery was one of the possibilities but I'm REALLY hoping to avoid that option. It sounds like there are options we can try before we get to the surgery option. I'm crossing my fingers that one of those will be successful the pain is getting old. 

Aww man :-(  So sorry you are having these issues. Are you going to be on bowel rest for a while? I have known people to avoid surgery and recovered, so I'll be wishing this for you!

Thanks. I am supposed to be on a really simple diet trying to give things a rest. Today I did the exact opposite. I'm not quite sure what the heck happened but I basically ate/grazed all dang day. The only good thing is that I logged everything but I'm just kinda shocked that I did this. Definitely need to get my head screwed on straight tomorrow. Not only is it not the habits that I want to engage in, right now it's down right risky. 

B: Scrambled egg, fresh blueberries

L: Chicken breast, sauteed zucchini, fresh strawberries

D: Sloppy Joes (using 1/2 bun), sauteed zucchini

(Nothing especially yummy here, GooseGirl, but I imagine it sounds pretty good when you're on soft foods. Hope your medical condition resolves quickly.)

W: On track

V: None; forgot to bring them while I'm visiting with my son and family for the next 10 days. Don't think I'll get scurvy during that time.

E: Nothing structured, but shopping and playing with my grandson is pretty hefty exercise for me. Tomorrow, we're going swimming.

Thanks I really do too. I hoe you are having a really good time with your grandson. I think it's great that you are getting to enjoy this time with him. 

B- Pure Premium chocolate chip protein bar

L- Roast turkey rolled around steamed asparagus

S- Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt - toasted coconut -- and a small scoop of Jello dessert -- BUT there is a Summer Goodie table at work today loaded with interesting foods.  Part of my job security is fixing a plate for my boss, which I now think of as filling my plate vicariously through him.  I take everything, but I don't eat it.  I made a Jello dessert to help with any unforeseen temptations - recipe below.

D- Don't know, probably chicken and veggies

S- Pistachios

W- ahead of schedule

V- on track (1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night)

E- walking towards my 10,000 steps, but will not make it due to broken toe.  Softball tonight (in the rain)

Today was a good food day! My husband really wanted to go out to eat, so I found a steakhouse chain and planned out my meal ahead of time. I stayed on track, portioned my food when I got it, and put the rest away for a good lunch tomorrow!
