Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Saturday 8/5/17
Happy Saturday, VSGers! One kid is at a sleep over and the other kid had a friend to sleep over here so it's been a quiet morning. I slept in compared to what I'm used to! We don't have a lot of plans for today. I need to go to the drug store and buy a few things and to start to think about throwing some things in a bag for my trip to DC next week.
M1: Premier Protein w/ Coffee and Miralax
M2: Dannon L&F w/ Blueberries and Sunflower Seeds
M3: Mahi Mahi and Filet Mignon (leftovers from dinner last night)
M4: Chuck Eye Steak

Good morning! After a day in the 50s with gale force winds and rain, I'm happy to have sun and summer back today... A walk sounds good, but other than that no plans. Though it is our town's summer festival this weekend so there are craft booths, fireworks, and a demolition derby tonight. I've never been to one of those - it could be fun or at least something to experience once! I'm staying away from the church doughnut truck as I love doughnuts.
B - coffee and yogurt (almost typed doughnuts)
L - edamame and cottage cheese
D - scallops and green beans or salad
S - jerky and Parmesan crisps
I had horrible night last night. I overate at dinner (mmm, asparagus) and paid for it with lots of bowel distress. Not my smartest move.
Nine days until surgery, though, so that's awesome! Today I'm going out to see The Dark Tower and grocery shop but, aside from that, it's paper paper paper. I'm really stressing out about this paper and I'm not sure why - maybe because it's the first one I've written in a while and maybe because it's the first one of my BS work. Blah.
1: protein shake
2: the movie spans lunch, so I'll have a protein bar
3: another protein shake since I need to get my protein up for surgery
4: "oslo kebabs" - I'll just eat the meat and some sauce.
liquid and vites: on track
exercise: nope

What a beautiful morning!
Got up way early and went for a 9k (2 hour) walk... taking it easy today because my leg is still causing lots of pain.
Having our housewarming party tonight, will have a bunch of friends over and will be BBQ-ing and playing LRC and poker. Lots of junk food, but I can navigate it with no problem. Picking up a veggie tray and some hummus if I get tempted.
B: protein shake
L: leftover Mexican and some hummus
S: protein shake
D: hamburger patty and veggies
E: 9k walk, cleaning house, shopping
"Friends are like flowers; no matter how well you pick them, they all eventually die."
Fred, if you are still having leg pain, you need to give the walking a rest. I don't know if you've done your tests yet, but if walking causes you pain, you shouldn't be doing it. I'm not trying to be a busy-body, but if your nervous system is sending pain messages, you need to listen to them. You won't die if you don't exercise for a while. But you could hurt yourself significantly if you keep exercising in the presence of persistent pain. --> Just concerned here...

I was so busy yesterday cooking and then serving at the church buffet that I didn't get to post. But I kept it simple with decaf and premier caramel for breakfast, chocolate premier for lunch, and a thin slice of ham and a deviled egg after the fundraiser was over. We had a huge crowd and I can't wait to find out how much we raised tomorrow! Today I slept in because 2 days of cooking and running around yesterday had me pooped out. Going up to the shop later to see what I can do to help out. Deer season is coming up fast and we are close to finishing the remodel but time is running out.
B premier caramel in decaf coffee
L leftover bbq baked chicken wings
S leftover ham from the buffet
D TBD, we may go out, but I took some chicken breast out of the freezer just in case
Vitamins and water good. Walking.
