Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday 7/3/17
Up since 6:30 to pack hubbys lunch and get him off to work..then it was over to my brothers to change his bandage. His girlfriend is rather squeamish whereas I am not, and I have some experience with wound care since I was the only one who could handle wrapping my dad's legs when they were amputated. Then it was off to do some shopping and back home to clean the house..it got a little neglected last week with all the trips to the hospital.
B premier shake
L skirt steak seasoned with chipotle and roasted garlic (note to self..dont get distracted and overcook it next time or it will be tough)
D chicken breast with tomato and basil and probably red potatoes for the guys
Vitamins in. Water on track. Exercise, walking, cleaning house and possibly a little pool cleaning so we can relax tomorrow. Love that this job allows my hubby to be off weekends and holidays!

It was so good. I turned around and was washing up some fresh eggs I collected from the hens and when I turned back I knew it was on the verge of too done...but I got it off the heat and let it rest and was able to cut the tougher ends off and the middle was still medium. The dogs didn't mind the ends though, lol.

It's been a heck of a crazy week! Trying not to go crazier than I already am!
I am not gonna lie - my protein has gone out the window. My daily average has been 50g. Just haven't eaten much this week, which is an unusual place for me to be in. I went back on protein shakes to start bumping it up. Starting in September I will be transitioning more to DS eating to "practice" for surgery in advance. Since I'm already keto it's not really much different aside from the extra proteins. I figure that will help healing post-op (and help with weight loss) anyway. The first week of August I'll find out what pre-op testing must be done.
Breakfast: 30g Premiere protein shake.
Lunch: 4oz turkey, 1oz cheese
Dinner: Undecided; probably a homemade "unwich" or something cool since it's miserably humid.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I went to my new site this morning. I'm glad I'll be working via 'telemed'. It's not a nice neighborhood. one block from the site is a sex shop that had a big sign up front that said "CONDOM BLOWOUT SALE". Nice neighborhood....
OK. So, I found the answer to my hydration. There is a 'tea' called "Sport Tea". I've had it for years, but just started drinking it again. It's 98% caffeine free naturally. I've been drinking it, and increased my hydration considerably. It really is very refreshing after a workout.

104 Degrees or, as we say in Phoenix, a cooling trend. Seriously nicer than last weeks 120.
B: 2 eggs scrambled with peppers
L: 3 oz shrimp. And slices of farm picked tomato
D: roast chicken, broccoli, salad
also had a slice of sweetest cantaloupe ever, from same farm.
Summer growing season ends here mid July because of the heat so I like to enjoy the local farm fresh while I can.
