Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Saturday, 6/23/18

Yes! I get Jordan's skinny syrups, this brand has fruity ones too like coconut, mango, and raspberry! The coconut flavour though is so good :)

QOTD: I've never really been a holiday person aside from Thanksgiving and "Winter." And those have definitely lost their appeal for me in the last 2 years. I still look forward to the time with family at both, but it's not the same without my dad. (It also doesn't help that I had to cancel Thanksgiving last year due to surgery recovery!)

1: protein shake
2: probably another protein shake
3: the dinner I had intended to cook last night - chicken in creamed horseradish, lemon butter green beans. We had Chipotle last night instead because I wasn't up for cooking due to the leg vein closure earlier in the day.

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: nothing formal but lots of walking due to the leg vein thing

Oh, congrats! Not just of being so close to goal, but for your continued focus on what your body needs and is going through.

I am just getting up and trying to figure out a plan of action for today. I?m going to a party and there will be lots of food there that would be inappropriate for my diet stage. I?m going to pack a small cooler with chicken and a couple of shakes. Also water. I have no interest in ?sharing? about my Weight or anything about my body, so hoping for no questions.

I am not sure my favorite holiday. Halloween is fun. The Christmas season is fun due to all the fun things we do as a family during that time?but I can?t say it doesn?t come with stress.

Good luck on eating, but have fun at your party! Enjoy your friends and if they ask about your week get just tell them your still adjusting and will let them know when things settle down in your body!

I think a Christmas is probably more stressful for people with families. So much to do! I get to enjoy with only my grandma. We don't do a lot.

Good morning! That's wonderful Mersh, before you know it the 5lbs will be gone! Adding fiber has been hard for me, even 2+years post op. There is a balancing act with fiber I am just not doing well with:-) I agree about keeping ready made unrefrigerated items close at hand when you are at work. You worked so hard at getting rid of the fatigue a few months ago:-)

The casino with my mom last night was just okay, I did leave with what I went with so that is good. It's pouring rain again today. I am hoping for a lull in it so I can take Emmy for a walk or hike today. So far it isn't looking good.

QOTD-I am not a big fan of Holidays. After my parents divorced and my brother got married the family split up and we all went our separate ways. Holidays have never been the same since. I am grateful for the times when we can get together, but it's just different. Since I never had children I never had a chance to make new memories:-)

B-Bullet Coffee

L-scrambled egg w/pepper jack cheese

S-Chai tea w/vanilla protein shake

D-Big leafy green salad w/avocado and salmon

E-Hopefully a walk when the rain stops

Have a lovely Saturday!

It is always a juggling act for nutrition!

That salmon salad sounds delicious. I love salmon or tuna on fresh salads. I've been in a big salmon mood and need to get my behind to Samsclub for their salmon burgers. 130 calories and 24g of protein. They can't be beat. I had one as a sample there and they were amazing.

My fav holiday is Halloween then thanksgiving.
