What are you eating today (Thursday) or yesterday?

The news that Allergan plans to sell off the Lap-Band is going to be a hot topic for months to come, but in the meantime we still have to move on with our lives and our eating, with or without the band. So here I am, once again posting the humdrum What Are You Eating thread.

In honor of Halloween, my store manager stocked the breakroom with a mountain of junk food and about six acres of cupcakes and candy. I was able to ignore the sweet stuff, but the salty stuff is another story, and all of it slider food. Ugh. When I got on the scale this morning, I fully expected to see an overnight weight gain from fluid retention, but that didn't happen. Yet.

I have today off, far far away from Wheat Thins, Tostitos, cheese puffs, and the lake of onion dip. My food plan is:

B: protein latte
S: scrambled egg beaters w/ cheese
S: coconut blueberry oat breakfast cookie
L: leftover chicken, fennel & celery stir-fry
S: almond, craisin & sesame seed snack mix
S: tomato salad
D: baked catfish, orange glazed sweet potato, mixed veggies
S: another breakfast cookie

This morning's class is Pilates/yoga. When I first started doing that class, I was prepared not to like it because it didn't seem like a big calorie burner. Now I love it because it keeps me limber. Which at my age is a big deal.

Have a lovely day!

Well now that the danger of losing power is minimal, I can go to the grocery store and replenish the dairy stocks that I didn't trust to keep around when the power was off. Yes, my friends are calling me paranoid for dumping anything dairy when the power wasn't out that long, but I am taking no chances.

B: protein shake

S: steel cut oatmeal

S: spiced cucumbers, rice crackers, and hummus

L: grilled chicken over romaine

S: yogurt

D: leftover sante fe soup

S: hot chocolate w/ fluff

As for exercise, my community center is STILL shut down, so I guess I'll walk around the neighborhood and pray I don't get killed by the jerks who drive 45 in a 30 mph residential zone.

I wouldn't take any chances with spoiled food either.

Hope things get back to normal (or close to it) in your area soon.

My Food Plan -

B-Cream of Farina (Cinnabon) w/ unflavored protein, sliced strawberries

S-Pistaschios

L-Sliced chicken thigh in chicken flavored protein broth (Unjury) w/ mirepoix

S-Cashews

D-Catfish filet, steamed cut spinach, refried beans

S-Chocolate protein shake

My food plan for today is pretty much what it was yesterday: not much. I came out with a horrible cold Tues. pm. and it has pretty much triggered my asthma. I am weak and achy so I just don't want much. I am trying to get my fluids in and not succeeding with that very well, either. I hope I can do better for the rest of the day. I only get one of these things about every 5 years so I am hoping it will pass quickly and leave me alone for another few years.

b- wieght control oatmeal -banana

l- 5.3 oz dannon greek yogurt (80c) strawberry flavor- which did not go down well .hmmm,  I took 2 meatballs from lunch counter and they went down fine, diced them and chewed well.
