Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Friday 1/26/18

Morning Guys! Today will be my last day doing the menu thread for a while because I'll be having an LBL and BL on Monday morning. I am leaving for D.C. early tomorrow morning. I hope that after a few days I'll feel up to at least getting on and participating in the menu thread, although I imagine it will mostly be protein shakes for a bit!

QOTD: Playing off Gwen's question yesterday, who were you named after - if anyone? My middle name (Sue) was named after my grandma who was Susanne. My kids both have their grandmother's names as middle names as well.

12 months post-op/Maintenance/130.6lbs

M1: Coffee, PP, Miralax, HC

M2: Egg, Sausage, Cheese

M3: Chicken Breast w/ Mayo

M4: TBD, but probably eggs - trying to eat up the food in the house

M5: Yogurt w/ PB

E: Meh, probably not today. I got a 4 mile walk in with a friend yesterday though!

Good morning! Everything will be great for you :D

I've got a super busy day here. Fitness classes in the morning, showering at the gym, then to my monthly massage, and an allergy shot. Then it's up to my mom's for the weekend! Hopefully I'll find some time this evening to do a few forum replies, since I know I won't have the brain for more work on my quiz.

1: protein shake
2: not sure yet, considering stopping at the local butcher on my way to my allergy shot and getting 1/4 pound of deli meat :P
3: again, not sure, since I'll be at the mercy of my mom!

liquid and vites: will be on track, my vites have been derailed the last few days
exercise: zenga class, tai chi class, pilates class - I think today is the first day of the credit students being back, so pilates will be THE BASICS.

Enjoy your weekend with your mom Gwen!

I forgot to answer your QOTD! My first name is my mom's middle name. I believe it was her great grandmother's name? It's also her best friend's first name :)

Yesterday was a busy day. Every couple of weeks, we deep clean something in the house. There are dust bunnies that I am slaying that have lived here far too long. Everyone in the house has a sense of accomplishment. I tend to be the catalyst for getting stuff done, so with me more physically capable, when I start, everyone else jumps right in. When I am down, progress more often than not, stops.

QOTD: My real name is Diane which I sign to my posts. I was named after the song Diane by The Bachelors. My mom heard it while she was pregnant and just knew that was going to be my name if I was a girl. For my middle name, I am named after her. So it is Diane Nancy

M1: Coffee, PP vanilla, miralax

M2: Egg and NY strip

M3: LO lasagna, no noodles

M4: LO brisket

M5: Snow crab and scallops

S: Jerky or other protein forward snack if needed

E: Painting a bookcase and finishing the deep clean in the living room.

Water/Vits: on track

My mother's name is Nancy! They took it from an older aunt that passed before I was even born. I actually really like it. I'm trying to convince DW (we are going to start trying in April, we think!!) that if we have a little girl Nancy is a cute middle name.

Our current name we have picked out is Imogen (Emma-jin) and I think Imogen Nancy Eddington sounds perfectly sweet! Then we could call her Nan for short.

Best of luck on your surgery Erin! I'm sure it will go well.

QOTD: I wasn't named after anyone, my father just liked the name Elizabeth. My mother wanted to name me Patricia and if I had been born a day later on St Patrick's Day, I would be a Pat!

1 year, 10 months post-op

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: Out to lunch - something protein based like fish

D: Emiepie eggsalad with bacon

S: yogurt or Halo Top ice cream

You must be so excited about your surgeries Erin! Best of luck with them!

QOTD: I don't know where my parents got my first name from but, my middle name is the same as my mother's first which seems to be a tradition in my family.

5 Months Post-Op

B: Starbucks sous vide egg bites, Breakfast Tea w/ milk
(Delicious but too high cal for anything other than a treat. I'm going to try and make my own healthy version at home this weekend)

L: 26g of salami, 1 Babybel Mozzarella

D: 3.5oz grilled chicken, .5oz misc veggies

S1: Protein Tea & Babybel Cheese

Totals:

Cal: 710 Protein: 81g Carb: 19g

Does your Starbucks have the egg white and roasted pepper ones? They are low-cal, have 13grams of protein, and only 170 calories! I can only eat one right now, and I had it for breakfast this morning! It was good :-)

I had that I had to throw the other one away...but it feels sort of empowering, as well. (I'm only 1.5 months out!)
