Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Friday

Happy, happy Friday! This has been a tough week for me. One year ago today my 32 year old cousin died of cancer and it has been hard dealing with that. My mom is suffering from terrible depression and refuses to admit it and get help. My husband is stressed from work, as am I, and our house has been under construction for months and I just can't wait to get my bathroom back. And I know that I'm still an emotional eater and that has been a struggle. But, I will persevere.

B: scrambled egg with 2 jalapeños, shredded cheese and leftover steak

L: fresh mozzarella with spaghetti sauce

D: hopefully we're taking the kids to the movie so I'll probably have a protein bar and some popcorn.

V and W: on track

E: I'm sick and can hardly breathe so not today.

Next???

Hi All, TGIF!

Breakfast - salmon

Lunch - chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes - yum

Dinner - beef stroganoff - got to fini**** off!

vitamins - good

water-- ok

exercise - not so good.

My good intentions for the day went by the wayside as my day got worse and worse. I'll do better tomorrow.

Today is a big eating out day for me so list doesn't look that great BUT:

B: cheesy bacon egg cup

L: Chipotle (1/3 of burrito bowl with carnitas, cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and fajita veggies)

D: Wings! Going to Buffalo Wild Wings for the first time. Planning on eating 4 traditional-sauced wings.

V and W: On track!

I can relate....I'm having an emotional week too. I was on vacation and back at all the places I spent with my father as a child. They brought good memories but a flood of emotions. Tomorrow I'll be attending my first Michigan football game since my father passed away. This would have been his 40th year of having tickets. Its more than just football, its years and years of memories and my fall family. Tomorrows walk to the stadium will be the longest walk I take without my Dad by my side. Like you I still find comfort in food to deal with my emotions. I have been fighting it all week.

I'm sorry about your cousin. She was so young.I hope things get better for you and you get your house back together!! You'll get thru this.

B: 1/2 cup cottage cheese

L: 1/4 Salad from chipolte

S: 1/3 c tuna

D: Antipasta salad

E - Run

W & V - On track

Thanks so much.  I'm sure you will get through your day, but I know it will be difficult.  I had great intentions today and they all went to heck.  :(  I still have dinner left to do better.  Have a wonderful football game. :)

(((Hugs))) Go Blue.......wish you the best at the game tomorrow. I'm sure your Dad will be right there in spirit with you!

B: Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt - peach

L: 1/2 C 1% cottage cheese, 1 ear of corn

D: cup wonton soup, almond chicken (no rice) - were are going out for Chinese - yum!

S: Syntrax nectar chocolate Truffle mixed with diet Swiss Miss (makes a nice creamy high protein cocoa), Fit Frappe Chai

W: a bit behind

V: on track as always (don't find this difficult at all - I took lots of meds prior to VSG and hardly have any of the prescription meds left to take!)

E: walked 4 miles in 65 minutes. Recovering from surgery last Friday so went a bit slower.

I'm almost three months out and have lost sixty pounds (I really should update my signature probably...) Today was the hardest of the days since surgery.  I ate way too much - normal protein foods started the day off well, but I found myself mindlessly grazing at work.  We have a ton of crap at work because there are drug reps that bring food.  Also, there are ten pounds of candy and cookies left out for staff all the time.  I resisted it for some time, but tonight I messed up.  I stopped immediately, but trying not to beat myself up.

B: Syntrax nectar & 28oz of water

L: 4 oz of seasoned unbreaded chicken and 2 oz of kidney beans.

D: 4 cookies (ugh...) and 1/2c cottage cheese.

Snack: P3 protein pack if hungry later/there's room (probably will skip it)
