Thank you!  You are doing awesome as well!!

Happy 8 months dear Heather... happy 8 months to you!!!  Congrats on your 8 month surgiversary!

I am feeling much better today.  I was able to get a good night's sleep (yay, codeine cough syrup!) and I think that made all the difference for me.  My appetite is a little better -- basically, that means food isn't looking as repulsive as it did yesterday -- and I'm still concentrating on getting lots of fluids in to flush out the bad bronchitis.

Here's today's menu:

B- Chocolate Max Protein, coffee (I feel like such a geek posting the same breakfast every day!)
L- Chicken thigh with BBQ sauce
S- Fuzzy Navel Nectar protein shake, mixed with 4C Lemonade
D- I really want some takeout, so maybe miso soup & a sashimi appetizer.
S- Greek yogurt with blueberries

I need some more protein in there somewhere, but if this is all there is, I'm okay with it for today.

Exercise will be either Wii Fit, or I might finally try the EA Active I bought last week.  It depends on how much I'm coughing.

Where do you get the chia seeds? What are they?

I heard about them from a Dr.Oz program, I was having problems with endurance and lack of energy during my workouts.  A lady in the audience was having the same issues and he told her to have a hand ful of them before a workout.  WOW!! What a difference.  I put them in my yogurt and now I throw them in salad or my eggs. I get the recommended 3 tbsp day.  The energy I get is amazing and I can tell the difference if I do not use them.  Here is a link to an article http://www.healthmad.com/Nutrition/The-Health-Benefits-of-the-Chia-Seed.78548

I get them at my local health food store. They are in the bulk area.

HTH!!

Thank you for the information - always worth a try and they seem to be very good for you. I will check the local health food store.

I could put these in my greek yogurt - do you eat the 3 tbs at once or throughout the day?
