Calorie countdown - What did you eat on Thursday (I got it right this time)

Hi Guys, Here's today's post.  I will post my totals later.. I'm feeling a little better today, still not right though.  I went to GNC and bought papaya (Kix) and so far it hasn't cured what ails me, but the GasX strips I also bought MIGHT have helped.  I'm a gurgle-riffic girl this afternoon.  Hope this finds everyone well and happy!

B - I made this insanely good omelet for my husband, with prosciutto, onion, red bell pepper, and mozzarella cheese - it was enormous (4 eggs) because I figured I'd have some.  I ended up having about 1 egg's worth and was stuffed to the gills but it settled better than anything in several days and was just so good.  I was hoping he wouldn't fini**** so I could save some for lunch.  L - grande skinny cinnamon dolce latte (non-fat, sugar free) S - 3 dark chocolate truffles, handful of marcona almonds D - Thai restaurant - bowl of veggie soup (insanely good, one of my favorite foods on the planet) and a rather tiny chicken spring roll that made me dump from the oil - so that answers the question of whether I dump from oil - I also had 2 chunks of mango from husband's dessert S - 16 oz mootopia w/ SF vanilla syrup (maybe, otherwise I'll be short on protein) As far as numbers, I have to estimate on the Thai but I doubt the soup has more than maybe 50 calories, and I'm calling the spring roll half of an egg roll.   Calories - 941 Fat - 44g Carbs - 50g Fiber - 7g (eek) Protein - 71g Oh, Sunshine, to answer your question from yesterday, mootopia is the best product ever made.  Its from a texas chain of grocery stores called HEB and its a high protein lactose-free nonfat milk (also comes in whole milk or chocolate).   8 oz has 14g protein, and its also got 60% more calcium and vitamin D than regular milk (or something like that)  - it tastes a little bit more bland than milk and I have to put something in it most of the time or I can't seem to drink it before it gets warm, but its soooo much better than a protein shake!  I wish they had HEB everywhere!  It also makes a really good high protein NSA hot chocolate, or if I add NSA carnation instant breakfast to 16 oz it makes a 33g protein drink.   Its kind of pricey, so I make my husband drink regular milk, but I usually finish 2 half gallon containers every week or so. 

I'm gonna get used to the sunshine thing! lol  I would love to be able to get something like that. I like my sf ff hot coco I should add my protein powder to that. Thanks!

Are you going to be getting your Cobra pretty soon? I just hope that whatever is bothering you will go away soon, or at least you can get in to get it checked. Just take care of yourself, ok? It was a good day - no emotional break downs, which is always nice . Having little treats throughout the day have helped curve my cravings and I feel a whole lot better about my eating choices. pre-workout snack: peanut butter pudding breakfast: 2 atkins protein bars (I FINALLY got paid today and will be able to afford other food - I was getting kind of tired of protein bars but they were the only thing in my house!) snack: a cup of hot chocolate snack: Chocolate mousse yogurt and 3 chocolate kisses snack:  apple, 2 butter cookies and 3 pretzel sticks dinner: WW Homestyle Chicken with green beans snack: 2 cups of honey nut cheerios snack: 3 bags of granola bites calories: 1986 fat: 62 carbs:297 fiber: 40 protein: 81 water: 90 ounces

Hm, wonder why the papaya isn't helping?  It's supposed to be the thing for digestive ailments.  I take it religiously.  When I'm feeling particularly gross, I chew three tablets, let them sit for about ten minutes, then chew three more, let them sit, then chew three more. Sorry for leading down a dead end.  Maybe what you need to do is make all sorts of rude noises like I do, and you'll feel better.  I especially like being able to belch like an eight year old boy.  I do it just to make my sister mad.  Kix

Well I am slowly and steadily feeling better (except for stupid dumping) so they might have helped.  I was going to chew a few more before bed, and more gas-x strips.  I am gurgling like a maniac, you can hear it across the room and I don't feel as uncomfortable.  I really hope there is nothing wrong with me except a grumpy system that's taking its time going back to normal.  Besides the papaya is helpful for digesting meat and if you get anything stuck, so its something I meant to have around anyway just never bought. 

And btw, I sooooo wish I could belch!  I haven't really been able to since surgery unless I drink something hot and even then they are usually pathetic.

I did pretty well most of the day. B: 2 EAS protein shakes @ 220 calories, 34g protein     1 mug decaf coffee wiith the usual @ 20 calories, 2g protein E: killer treadmill for 30 minutes = 225 calories expended     did strength training for 30 minutes, but have no idea of calories expended L: 2 EAS protein shakes @ 220 calories, 34g protein S; 1 Instone chocolate pudding @ 100 calories, 20g protein E; aquacise class x 40 minutes = 100 calories expended D: nasty can of "beef stew" which I really think was Alpo @ 300 calories, 25g protein      2 bagels, both of which are currently stuck in my aorta and causing me to dump @ 350 cal Totals: 1630 calories - 325 expended = 1305 calories               115g protein I shouldn't do this to the food bank, but the rest of the cans of "beef stew" are being donated tomorrow.  Ugh. I'm not eating another bagel, either, I didn't enjoy them enough to suffer this much. Kix

Alpo... yum.  2 full-size bagels?  Can your pouch hold that much now?  Good job on the protein, as always. 

I think it was more than my pouch can hold, thus my suffering. Of course, I'm also three pounds fatter today.  I tell you, bread is so not worth it. Kix
