Calorie Countdown - Another friggle fraggle Monday, what are you eating?

Hi all, I hope you had a good weekend.  Mine was so-so.  The ear infection is clearing up finally, but it was pretty uncomfortable Friday and Saturday especially.  We saw a movie, I slept a lot with my head on a heating pad.  I ate a little too much on Sunday, grazing basically, and a lot of watermelon.

Today I have a food plan

B - 16oz mootopia, 2 scoops Click protein - 300cal, 39g protein

L - 2 cheese enchiladas made at home - about 400cal, 20g protein

D - side salad with light italian dressing from chick-fil-a, half of a regular sandwich - 400cal, 22g protein

S - other half of sandwich - 200cal, 15g protein

Calories - 1300
Protein - 95

I never said it was a GOOD food plan.

Had a good weekend.  Didn't go to the Farmers Market Friday- it was too hot, hubby had a hard day and work and just wanted to relax.

Pre B - SF NF Eggnog Latte

B - Double fiber wheat English Muffin, 2 tbs. natural PB, banana

S - Greek yogurt w/black and blueberries and 1/4 cup Mountain High granola added in

L - meeting Mom and niece at Islands (I'm walking there), Thinking a chicken breast salad, to soup

S - watermelon and cantaloupe

D - grilled chicken, asparagus

S - ?

I always admire how much protein that you're able to squeeze in.  Mine's starting to get up there, but still on the weak side.  Sometimes I really wish that I was allowed to supplement (although I couldn't stand the protein shakes when I was on the LD - so I'm still not missing that stuff). 

I find that I really enjoy the weekends because I am able to focus on what I need to do to maximize my health.  I always get in enough water, take all of my vitamins and the Actigall, and I generally eat pretty well.

Here is my food plan for today:

B- 1oz. string cheese (I thought I wanted to eat 2, but alas was full after 1 still - sometimes I have lofty ideas of how hungry I am)
L- going to have LC Swedish meatballs (again, I tell myself that I will eat the whole thing, but I can eat about 2/3-3/4)
D- not sure yet - maybe an Italian chicken finger, but I'm going to either Sam's club or the meat store this afternoon so maybe I will find something that I like better.

Have a great day!

I had a nice weekend - good R&R time, time with friends, a little retail therapy (two new sleeveless shirts for walking/hiking outdoors, lightweight shorts for walking/hiking outdoors, plus a pair of North Face cargo shorts - they are my favorite new clothing item), plus a great 2-hour conversation with an old, dear friend from high school about everything that's going on my life.  Sometimes old friends are such a comfort -

Food for the weekend was okay, a little snackier than usual, but I'm back to the regular plan today -

Good for you and finding yourself someone to vent with, that is always good for the soul!

I tried peaches and cottage cheese for lunch, but had no desire to eat.  I might try something for supper since I had nothing bu****er the entire weekend.  I am thinking my body is needing something of nutritional value - just wish what it needs is what I feel like eating!!!

Hello everyone
I had a busy weekend 2 family get togethers..plus my hubby military cookout.
Friday i made 2 pinneapple upside down cakes(sucks cause i want a bite)
saturday i took sugar free bananna split pies  made 4.
sunday a veggie tray and the 4th pie went to this get together..
I tried to be good all weekend but i know im not eating enough..
saturday i ate a spoonful of potato salad which  i knew better
sunday i ate a teaspoon of everything..no i put it on my plate but i only ate the taco dip and brocolli salad.
so today
b/f  ate cottage cheese
snack bannana
lunch  tuna  with tomato slices
supper  salad with chicken and cheese
i havent had a chance to get to the store so im going thru the threads looking at the recipes for something tasty.
my scale isnt moving i dont think im getting enough protein

Yeah, what's with the evil potato salad? I think I'm attracted to it more from habit than taste.

DH got some for himself in a huge tub and of course it sat right on the milk & drink shelf, right under my nose all weekend. Grrr. I did sneak a finger-full (about a tsp) on Saturday. Not as good as I used to make, and I spit it out in the sink. I need to find a more obsecure location, but we just gave our old over-flow fridge to my stepdaughter, so it is harder to bani**** from sight.

Put it in a container that you can't see into.  For example, re-used margarine containers.  And don't label them...lol.  Let your DH search for what he wants. 

Oh potato salad ,cole slaw and baked beans was my down fall..
the 3 i love the best..
but i only had a little bit used to i could eat all of it....
this surgery was the best thing i could have done for myself i can not over eat and greasy or sweet foods so not set with my pouch.
we have 2 frigs the one in the garage holds what i cant eat like their goodies..lol
