Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday 1/1/18

Happy New Year! We had a great dinner of lobster and belated birthday cupcakes and ice cream for me. Considering my very hard 7 mile hike in the morning, I don't regret a bite.

QOTD: I like hot movie popcorn with no butter. Yummy.

B - eggs, bacon, 1/2 English muffin

L - not sure I need it after the big breakfast! Maybe a Starbucks

D - leftover chili

S - broad beans, string cheese

Happy New Year everyone! Took my mom to the casino last night, it was packed, which in my opinion made the machines a little looser:-) The drive there was just at the right time of day to see a lot of alpine glow, lots of pink and purple hitting the mountains. Got home around 9pm, watched an episode of The Crown and was in bed by 12:30.

QOTD-If I have any these days it's only in the theater. Before WLS I would sprinkle it with cinnamon and sugar, and of course lots of butter.

B-Plain Fage with 2tsp SF lemon pudding mix and pumpkin seeds

L-Tuna salad

S-Chai tea, 1/2 apple

D-Tamales(inside only) and black beans, some kind of veggie

E-Take Emmy for a walk or hike if I can find a groomed path or trail

I hope you all enjoy the first day of the new year!

QOTD: I love popcorn - I'm addicted to smartfood - but also love just plain popcorn, no butter cooked in the whirlypop - which is the best method, imho. I also love a Nancy Fuller recipe where you melt butter and brown sugar and drizzle it over the popcorn and then low heat bake it. OMG, out of control good - so I don't make it very often.

B: concoction of eggs, ground beef,orange peppers, onions and salsa

L: leftover chili, 1 shrimp

D: pizza on the way now... and maybe a 1/2 strawberry crostada

E: not cleared

V/L: good

Our furnace went out today - it's been 10 out. COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally fixed and back on, whew!

Happy New Year everyone! I also had a very nice evening in the house with my husband and kids. We lit the fireplace, and all of the candles while watching the ball drop. Kids had sparkling cider in champagne flukes, while my husband and I had the real stuff. The second drink I've had since surgery.

QOTD: I love buttered movie popcorn, and as a matter of fact, I had some yesterday while taking the kids to see Jumangi (totally worth seeing if you haven't). It definitely fulfilled a craving that I have been having, and despite my day of buttered, salty popcorn I still lost a pound overnight. Yay!!!

M1: left over spare ribs and a spoon full of macaroni and cheese

M2: Melba toast, cream cheese, smoked, salmon, and caviar

M3:organic greens mix in 8oz water

M3: black eyed peas with kielbasa

M4: isopure lemonade protein drink

Also wanted to note I got in all of my fluids and vitamins today!

Hope 2018 brings everyone good health and pplenty of weightloss success.

Ohhh, I just noticed your surgery date, Erin. Yes, I'm terribly observant! But anyway, how neat! It also confused my cold-medicated mind as to what the year was :P

I used to eat popcorn with salt and coconut oil, however I haven't had it in a really long time. Before WLS I had the infamous "Chicago style" popcorn which is cheese, butter, and caramel popcorn all mixed up. It's.....really weird.

Final appointment before surgery is next week plus my cardiac clearance. Revision date is February 19th. This week is more lymphedema OT and counseling.

M1: Coffee... decaf alas. Weaning off of the blood of life :(

M2: Protein shake with 30g of protein (made with tea and unflavored protein powder)

M3: 4oz grilled tuna

M4: 4oz pork roast.

Happy New Year!

QOTD - I don't really eat popcorn, take it or leave it. Had maybe 3 handfuls last year.

I'm hungry

B - Coffee and 1 string cheese

L - 4 meatballs, 1/2c marinara and 1 piece of cheese bread

s - 2 meatballs, 1/4c marinara

d - 2 meatballs, 1/4c marinara

rehydrated watching football today, almost up to 100oz of water
