Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Thursday 11/16/17

Morning! I'm home! Home sweet home, with all that I know and measure. Although, we do badly need to grocery shop. Today is going to be a long day. I have a full schedule of meetings from 9am - 5:15pm and then we have the kid's parent-teacher conferences from 6-7pm.

One of our flights home yesterday was incredibly turbulent. I'm happy that my girls didn't seem to mind much, but it was nerve-racking for me. It also required that I take Dramamine so I felt out of it the rest of the day.

QOTD: Have you ever walked/ran an official 5k? My first one is going to be our Hobble Gobble this Saturday. I don't know if I'm walking or running it yet, but it will be between 3 and 4 miles (it's a prediction run, so they don't tell you until the day of).

9 months post-op/Maintenance/132.5lbs

M1: Coffee w/ PP, Miralax and HC

M2: Fage Total w/ SF Pudding Mix and Pepitas

M3: Baked Tofu with Soy Sauce and Sesame Seeds

M4: Smoked Pheasant w/ Veggies

M5: Yogurt w/ PB and Nuts

S: Protein Bar

E: Probably not today with all my meetings.

Good morning! DH and I are off to Boston today for a clinical trial appointment. It is supposed to be rainy so it will be a longer drive than usual.

QOTD: I used to run 8 miles a day multiple days a week on my own many years ago. I did run a 5K once and did pretty well for my age class, but I didn't really like running with a lot of people. I enjoyed doing my solitary runs in quiet areas much better. I wish I could still run and could run along the beach here (that was one of my favorite runs in the past but I didn't get to do it very often then because we didn't have the house here yet).

1 year, 8 months post-op (maintenance).

B: eggbeaters, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: ham and cheese

D: Leftover veal parmigiana (had 1/3 last night so I have 2 more meals)

S: yogurt

It is Thursday already, the week goes fast! Today is leftover day as you will see below.

QOTD: I don't think I've ever run. If you see me running, join me, because something really bad is happening behind me. However, there was a point in my life when I made a lifestyle change and began to walk and was up to about 3 miles a day. I hope to get back there at some point.

M1: Leftover wingstreet wings and lentil pasta

M2: Leftover Salmon pinwheels

M3: Leftover Progresso light Italian meatball soup

M4: Leftover venison with mashed cauliflower

M5: Shrimp

S: Jerky and LC cheese if needed.

E: Cleaning for Thanksgiving.

Water and vits on track.

Good morning,

I was in a car accident yesterday. I am fine. Car is drivable except front passenger door will not open.

Qotd no I have not. Running is hard for me. Guess if you see me running, you better join me because something bad is happening.

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

L tuna, cottage cheese and honeycrisp apple

D either chicken or turkey, vegetable and crustless pumpkin pie

Have a good day

Sorry to hear of your car accident. I'm glad you are ok. I'm with you on the running. I can get myself to walk, but running is over the top for me. Hope your car troubles will subside quickly. -- Carol

Glad you are okay Yvonne!

Oh, Yvonne! I hope that you are feeling well. i'm so sorry to hear about your car. What will you do? Will your insurance fix it???

Don't have full coverage and plus it is 17 years old and it is dying. Not worth fixing

Eek. Glad you're okay!

Hi all,

Breakfast - salmon

Lunch - cheeseburger pie

Dinner - chicken and broccoli

I'm doing good on plan, but haven't seen any weight loss yet. I remember my mantra for weight loss -- Patience, Carol, Patience...

Have a good Thursday everyone.
