Whatcha eating today? Thursday, 9/29/2016

It's wet.  I ran.  I'm wet.  

Meals on Tu/Th are always weird for me since I never know if my brain will demand sustenance while I'm at school in the evening or not.  Sometimes I'm fine to wait to eat dinner when I get home, sometimes I need to eat before that.  

1: protein shake
2: lunch is always the challenging meal since I'm so often not home!  My options are: protein bar, tuna pouch, pulled pork hash.  It'll depend on where I am, etc.  Since I'm pretty sure I'll be out, it's looking like protein bar or tuna pouch.  
3: pulled pork hash most likely, protein bar if necessary.  

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: w4d1 of Zombies Run 5k training, 30 minutes post-run yoga stretching

How about you?  

Wet here too. Will be leaving in a short while to go aboard our cruise ship.

1. Coffee w/cashew milk
2. TBD on the ship
3. TBD on the ship

That was informative, huh?

LOL.  I feel that way about my meal plan too.  Super useful.  I have ideas but.. yeah.  

I'll be interested to see how you do on the ship. We are going on our first cruise in November (planned a while back, not realizing my surgery would be so delayed) and I'm curious about how it will be. Have fun!

Thanks! This is not my first cruise, but it's my first cruise post-op. I'm not very worried about overdoing things on the ship. I'll be surrounded by friends who all know about my surgery and will be watching what I eat. They won't say anything, but they'll be watching, and that by itself is a huge deterrent for me. And I'm very grateful to them for that. It's one of the reasons that I advise newbies to tell everyone about their surgery. By doing that, you surround yourself with watchdogs, who (no matter what their motives) will help you keep away from junk food.

I will say, though, that if I come across a delicious morsel that I can't get anywhere else, I'll go ahead and have a little. This is a vacation, after all! But I expect my weight will remain stable or drop a pound or two. I'll keep a written food log, weigh myself when I get back and give everyone a full report (goodor bad ).

It is sunny and beautiful here. It's still hot 90 degrees but we had a front that pushed the humidity out and that makes all the difference in the world! 

B - pumpkin spice chia seed pudding w/protein powder

L - roast beef

S - either a protein shake, lunch meat, or siggys yogurt 

D - Not sure, might be picking something up after softball game but protein forward.

Water and vits - still early but I never have issues getting everything in.

E - walking 

The pumpkin pudding sounds delish! I'm craving everything pumpkin now. Was it store bought or homemade? It's been hard to find low sugar products at the store!

We went on a 4 night cruise in January and I did fine - ate whatever i REALLY wanted, not eating for the sake of eating. The key is eating in control.  That being said, sometimes it's hard to stay in control, lol.  Enjoy your vacation

B:  sesame bagel cored out, toasted with peanut butter

L:  5-6 bites of my husband's italian sub
