Whatcha eating today? Friday, 1/20/2017
Another busy day here - my company arrived safely last night which means I was up entirely too late enjoying chats! This morning everyone else is working from home, but I'm going out to my fitness classes since my body and brain need them. Then, this afternoon, my bereavement group starts at the local hospice. I'm not sure what I'm hoping to get from it, but I'm hopeful it will be useful (my dad died in April).
1: protein shake
2: leftover meatballs
3: chili (sorry this is behind a paywall, my food blog is currently down, so I can't link to it there)
liquid and vites: on track
exercise: pilates/yoga hybrid class, tai chi class, pilates class -- I ended up doing 7 miles yesterday for my run and I am so sore.
How about you?

Hi all,
I had friends over for dinner last night - I did great on dinner, but I had too much wine and nuts that were out on the table after dinner. But back to plan today.
Breakfast - salmon
lunch - thai chicken with peanut sauce
dinner - enchilada casserole
snack - almonds
My grandkids are coming tomorrow for a sleep-over. We always enjoy our time with them. I plan lots of arts and crafts projects, and we have a movie night, and lots of time for play with the favorite old toys I saved from my childhood days.
grandchildren are the best remedy for the winter blues.
Have a good weekend everyone.

So sorry to hear about your dad, Gwen! You are in my prayers.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Gwen - I am so sorry about your loss. It is very tough to handle. I won't say "get over" because you never really "get over" it and I hated when people would make a comment to me about getting over it and moving on. My boyfriend passed away in April of 2013 followed by my dad in September 2013. Yeah, 2013 sucked. By the end of 2015 I had gained 110lbs - so you know how I dealt with my grief. But I will say it does help to be in the company of others who understand loss of a loved one. They can help you get to a point where you are able to go on living your life and enjoy it while still missing the person you lost.
B: hard boiled egg and 1 slice turkey bacon
L and D: the last of the ground turkey picadillo (1/3cup portion) with a tablespoon shredded cheese
S: 1/2oz pork rinds and 1T hummus, and probably coffee with an ounce of caramel premier protein shake
(for reference for any pre-ops or newly post-ops, i'm about 7 months post op)
liquid and vites on track
Exercise - still being too lazy and struggling with this one. MUST GET MY ASS IN THE GYM MORE FREQUENTLY!!!
Hi everyone! Hope you all are planning on a fun, restful weekend! I know I am. Going to be good weather here on Saturday, so I need to get my rear in gear and walk all FOUR of my dogs for my exercise! :)
Breakfast : Premier Chocolate Shake/ 1/3 c. fresh blueberries
Lunch : 3 oz. 90% lean ground beef, 1 T. hummus, 1 oz pork rinds
Dinner : 3 oz salmon patty, 1/3 peas
Snack : 2% string cheese or sugar free jello cup, if needed.
Only lost a pound this week. :( On average, what's a safe range of staying in carbs? I've been hitting 20-40 grams daily and wondering if that, with combo of sodium might be slowing the losses?
P.S. I hope the bereavement support group gives you some peace, Gwen. I lost my mom nearly 10 years ago. She was my best friend and I think about her every day. I know that counseling really helped me the first year after she passed. Take care and be gentle with yourself!
Good morning, all! Dreary day here in Charlotte, NC but at least it's not cold.
Gwen, sorry to hear about your father; hope you enjoy the support group. I wish I could find a WLS support group here. I moved this summer from FL and I would love to find one here but no luck so far!
B: copious amounts of coffee with 1/2 & 1/2, hard-boiled egg and 2 oz of ham
L: the last of the leftover shredded mexican chicken meat on top of lettuce with cheese and salsa
Snack: String cheese and maybe some peanuts.... and probably another cup of coffee!!
D: Not sure yet. Hubby gets home tonight from traveling and I want to get my nails and eyebrows done today because tomorrow is my cousin's bridal shower. So will probably be something to-go or will make my husband cook. :-)
Have a great weekend, everyone!

I finally got my hair done yesterday. It was horrible! I am far too young to have grey hair! Just like my paternal grand mother. At least I don't cover it with stark blue/black!!! Of course, I tease my 94 year old grammy and call her 'q-tip'. So should I ever choose to stop coloring, I'll probably be silver. But I'm still too darned young!
I'm heading off to the gym. then the plumbers come to take pictures of my pipes after that.

Boy, having to tell family you are moving in with your significant other KNOWING they don't believe in a man and a woman living together before marriage is really freaking awful. (we are not engaged) That being said, still have not eaten my feelings! One day at a time.
B 3 sausage links
L beef barley soup, steamed broccoli with seasonings
S either nuts/grapes, or celery and peanut butter.
D not sure, its an 11 hour day and I am exhausted. I may have some leftover kielbasa and brown rice melody I mixed up the other day.
S if I make it up late enough after job2, whichever of the previous snack I didn't eat.
Liquids on track!
Hang tough rissa! It's not the end of the world to live together. I'd rather see my daughters be happy - whichever way they choose to go. A marriage certificate doesn't mean "forever". It just mean they can take 1/2 of everything you own.
If you're happy and sure of your decision - that's all that matters.
