Calorie Countdown - All Saints/All Souls edition.

Morning.

I don't like how fast I get drunk now, but I LOVE the lack of hangover I have to say. I had 2 glasses of wine last night over a 3 hour period and I was drunk for the entire 3 hour period. Its just bizarre. We were at home, we didn't do much last night. Boring!

Today we have a date or something, I don't know what we are going to do. Maybe a movie, something inexpensive but we have to get out of the house before we go crazy!

B - 2 mini snickers (), 1/2 grilled cheese on fiber bread, and 1 small tomato with salt and pepper

S - 16oz mootopia, 1 packet bariatric advantage protein powder (still have samples geez)

L - 0% Fage greek yogurt, honey

D - ? either something out on a date (mexican I'd want) or I'll make enchiladas at home with beans and cheese

I am trying to up my fiber as its getting lower and lower and my bathroom experiences are getting to be harrowing again. Yesterday I had a bowl of raisin bran for dinner instead of what I'd planned.  1 serving rainsin bran is 7g fiber, but apparently I now also dump off one serving rainsin bran. I ate it regularly for months with no problem? Huh? Actually I've dumped more lately on EVERYTHING. What does that mean? Is my stoma getting wider? NOOOOO!

I slacked of yesterday! i did so good until after work my friends suggested going to the buffet since they had coupons. well i agreed (mistake1) intending to stick to proteins. for the most part i did stick to proteins but i ate till i was stuffed insted of till i had 4oz.

i really need to watch out for those traping situations. i have a banqet to attend tonight. its catered so there will be better choices and not as much as u can eat situation. im gonna work really hard on cuting out the portion im supposed to eat and taking the rest with me or returning it back. ah self control...thats my biggest demon. i need to take it a moment at a time...anyway so pray for me guys.

B-vitamines
L- stewed chicken
s-Protein hot chocolate
D-? banquet

Afternoon Everyone!!  It is such a beautiful day here I want to go outside but I am so far behind in my work (I am in grad school so my papers have piled up) and I have 2 due tomorrow.  I am trying to get 1/2 of one done so I can justify going outside in a little while.  Jenny have you tried the special K protein cereal?  I added it yesterday to my rotation and this morning the bathroom was a better place to be - lol.

B- 1/2c Sp K Protein Cereal with 1 c skim milk
L - 1/2 c Salad shrimp
S - Hamburger Patty with Cheese
D - Turkey Meatloaf
S - Chocoate Maxx Protein Shake

100gms of protein.

We had very few Halloweeners last night. Clay had bought a bag or 2 of mixed candy - at least the left-overs weren't as tempting as they could have been. I need to dump what's left into Jarid's candy bag before I eat another mini tube of Whoppers (3). Yes, my 24-yo Aspie son went out last night - dressed as a ghoul, but carrying a reusable Safeway bag - mostly black, but with PINK handles for Breast Cancer! He also carved the pumpkin (and cut himself in the process - all while I was at work). But it was a notable night for him - candy and Halloween stuff on TV.

Wish MY needs were so simple.

B - NP granola bar - no more of these - too sweet
S - MF scrabmled eggs
L - MF soup
S - MF shake
D -???
S - OMG, I'm almost out of pudding!

Hmmm. Maybe my needs ARE simple. I like pudding. It was the last "baby" food I stopped eating.

I need to swim and do some work work today.

Let me tell you how long I starred at Dawson's candy stash.  I swear the reeses peanut butter cups were talking to me.  "Just one bite...."  LOL!!!  I had to step away from the candy and refocus.  This year, I handed out the mini containers of play dough - no left overs calling my name.  My son is wondering why I have not taken all of his chocolate (he is more of a lolly pop kid) - if he only knew - LOL!!

Yeah, last night I struggled. I did stay well out of Jarid's bag. The only problem was our left-overs. I had told Clay the sparkly pencil idea and he nixed it as too girly. I said. OK, get some transformers, iron man, cammo - whatever pencils for the boyz.. He got candy.

The play dough is a great uni-sex alternative.

Sort of makes me wonder if he is sabotaging me? Although he is trying to push me out the door to the pool today, but I need to clean the science projects out of the veggie drawer first to put away the new veggies he just brought home from the store.

He wants me to go to Sears with him tomorrow as we need a new W/D. .////////////                                 ';./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////   <-- cat typing

speaking of peanut butter cups ...girl i just went to the sale for the 2 packs for 3 for 99c. i picked up 99c worth and was about to eat one and really struggled after looking at the container and seeing that a serving size is 230 cals! i was like holly crap...i could eat so much more for 230 cals...however they were still calling my name...lol.

anyway thankfully i had bought a plum so i ate the plum insted. i need to just go head and throw them away or give them away...but the fact that a serving size was 230cals really helped me put it down.

It's hard to break old habits, isn't it? The after-Halloween candy sale was an annual event in what seems like a former life. Congratulations on the plum. Get those PB cups outta there!

I was at the market Friday am before work picking up a veggie tray for our Halloween lunch. The piles of candy - already being marked down - didn't tempt me. But the black feathered boa in the costume markdown area did sneak into my basket.

 Oooohh la la!  A black feather boa .... that sounds like Patty is planning on some fun!!  

You betcha! I mentioned Kathy's Date Nights with her DH and Clay liked the idea.
