Whatcha eating today? Monday, 10/2/2016

No idea what today has in store.  My partner is having heart surgery this morning (catheter ablation) and I've got to go to class.  After class I'll be driving to the hospital and should be getting there before the procedure actually finishes.  We don't know yet whether he'll have an overnight stay or be coming home, but either way I'm sure I'll be finding dinner at the hospital.  

1: protein shake
2: wawa chicken caesar wrap
3: whatever I can forage at the hospital (I've had luck with prepared deli sandwiches and just eating the meat and cheese.)

liquid and vites: on track and hope to remain so
exercise: 30 minutes yoga for back pain - got to keep my back happy in preparation for lots of sitting

How about you?

B:  1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese

S:  mini babybel lite with some wheat thins

L:  salad with boiled egg and Cindy's Kitchen ff balsamic

D:  chicken soup (homemade)

S:  either jello (sf) or no sugar added fudgesicle

E:  walk, walk, walk

L/V:  on schedule

Hospital food is rough - you'd think it would be more healthy....my husband was in the hospital for 3 weeks in 2013 and i ate there alot.  Fear of running into my doctor kept my on track lolol - there is always soup or a yogurt at caf-type places.  good luck to your partner

Where are you finding the Caramel premier protein shake? I have looked everywhere for that flavor just to try it and cannot find it anywhere!

My local walmart has them. I hadn't actually used the premier shakes at all up to now. But when I started drinking coffee again I thought I'd try them as a coffee creamer replacement and it works really well for that!

L. On the go...peanuts with bacon jerky.

S. Light & fit greek yogurt / sugar free popsicle

D. Chicken w/baked sweet potatoes

V. On track

Ex. Today I am jogging in place for a few minutes every time I get up to go to other parts of the office lol

I ended up splurging and having a 16oz Pumpkin Spice Americano with non fat milk. Not the worst choice but also not the best.   

Gwen, I'll hold you and your partner in my prayers today.

I'm holding steady about 4 pounds over goal, but I'm sticking to plan and hope to lose these extra pounds before the holidays.

breakfast - salmon

lunch - chicken with pesto sauce

dinner - chicken and broccoli casserole

snack - crack slaw if I need it - maybel almonds if I feel snacky.

vitamins and water - on track

exercise - not so much...

I hope things went well with your partner's ablation.

B taco bell soft taco

L cheddar cheese and almonds

S premier protein shake

D 3 ounces ground beef with spaghetti sauce. 1 ounce spaghetti noodles

On a side note, Cappy, I made up the recipe for your crockpot balsamic vinegar chicken. I plan on pouring it over chicken breasts tomorrow. I just mixed all the spices together so I can pour it in the crockpot in the a.m. The sauce tastes good. I cant wait till it is cooked tomorrow in the crock pot.
