So Monday, not such a good day food wise...   actually it was not bad for me until after dinner.  I went out for coffee with a friend and as you will see, I kinda splurged... ok I went crazy LOL   But today is a new day, and one caramel machiatto (not sugar free) is not going to make all the hard work I am doing go away.

B- 2 egg bites, slice of veggie bacon

S- root beer protein

L- veggie chilli, FF cheddar cheese

S - root beer protein

D- WLS tuna salad

S- caramel machiatto at starbucks (sheesh   280 calories and 44 grams of carbs...   13 grams of proteint hough, but that will NOT happen again anytime soon)

Workout- walked around the mall for 2 hours
                  45 minutes water aerobics
                  1 hr weights (upper body)

Exhausted all day which for me makes me want to munch. But I didn't.

b - 1/3 cup chicken casserole
l - 1/3 cup smoked fish (yum)
d - (ate late), 1/3 cup ham slaw

I also had three pieces of SF hard candy to get me through the afternoon at work.

No workout. 70+ oz fluids. All my vitamins.

ok I have to ask, what exactly is ham slaw?

It's the tukey slaw recipe from EggFace but with ham because I ran out of turkey. LOL

It's slaw mix (1 package of regular or 1/2 package of the cabbage and 1/2 package of the broccoli slaw),
1/4-1/2 pound or so chopped meat of some kind (can't have too much meat really), I want to try it with smoked salmon some time.
1/2 small red onion minced,
1/3 cup of shredded cheese of choice (I used parmasan with the ham),
1/4 cup of raisins,
1/4 cup of nuts of choice (I used sun flower seeds).

Mix it all togehter in a large bowl.

The dressing is:
1/4 cup of greek yogurt,
1/4 cup mayo (I use FF),
1 TB cider vinegar,
1 TB barbecue sauce,
salt and pepper.

Mix the sauce ingredients together until smooth and then mix into the slaw mix really well. It tastes better after it sits for a couple of hours. This makes a large amount. Z and I eat on it for about a week. Keep it in an air-tight container in the fridge. It lasts pretty well.

Bonny appetite. LOL

That sounds really good I am going ot have to try that one! Thanks for sharing.

mannn I can't do Cabbage or Broccoli! UGH! I miss slaw.. A lot!

 You should have your thyroid checked girl if you're tired alllll the time. That's probably not weight loss surgery related.

Thanks Fnly... Thyroid levels are all normal. It's mainly because I'm working two jobs, staying up too late writing, menopause, driving my daughter, who I work with, home every day after work because she recently had knee surgery and then being stuck in traffic for an hour or more, not sleeping very well (for a variety of reasons, among them the deaths of my son and my mother this past year), rapid weight loss, and not exercising regularly. I know I will feel better once one or more of these conditions change or stabilize, probably expecially the exercise, but for now it's pretty much about life. Other than all that, I'm feeling really terrific. LOL

 Aww I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it picks up for you though! 

Well, I think it's that thing they call Life? LOL... it's all good... except the bad parts. I know I need to get my ass in gear and start exercising. That will help a lot of the issues. My main problem is making the time... but I'll get there.

Thank you for your encouragement. I'm glad you are on the forum.
