I was shocked this morning. I started the week off pretty mindfully, then while I was in Mexico felt like I was really over eating. When I came home, I decided that I would really pull back calories (to about 800/day). I also drank like crazy. No doubt much of the weight loss this week is water, I'll take it.
Speaking of Mexico, I went to some really great restaurants. The picture is from one of them. I can be an adventurous eater, but I draw the line at bugs, larvae and worms. Although I didn't try any of these appetizers the rest of that lunch was spectacular.
One last thing....I brought out my bike last weekend. After a couple of rides, I experienced the worst cramping in my legs ever. Even though I'm extremely well hydrated, and work to maintain electrolytes, it was brutal. Hopefully I find the answer soon.
Have a great week all.

Down 100 pounds rates a nice stinky on the FART scale!

Getting back on track this week has shown some good results! Averaged below 800 calories per day, 3x on karate, 5 days of an hour on the elliptical, and a 6 mile hike this morning. Very happy to hit -100 from my high weight this week!
I have my three month post-op follow up on Tuesday with my surgeon.
Have a great week!

I know I need to exercise more, but I am keeping my calories between 1200 and 1400, as my nutritionist suggested. I really thought I was going to do well this weigh in.
Have a great week everyone!

Well nerts. 
Mixed up schedule at work is not only mixing up work hours but is throwing my body clock out of whack. Certain bodily functions are not happening at their "regular" time - if at all. Joke with GF is that if I manage to pause for the cause after getting to work I'll text her letting her know "my pants fit better now".
Barring unforeseen cir****tances - see ya next week!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

My weight keeps going back and forth but truth be told, based on how tough these past two weeks were I'm good. Between family events and travel, both diet and exercise have sucked. I got back on track with both yesterday. The weather finally broke cooperated with my schedule and I was able to get both yardwork and a 20 mile bike ride in yesterday. I'll do the same today. I'm doing a century bike ride June 3rd and a 150 mile bike ride June 10-11. I really need to start training or I'm in trouble.
Have a great week everyone.
Was your surgery done open or lap? I'm wondering if some blood vessel or nerve in there might have been damaged during the surgery ..

My hubby refuses to wear anything but saxx underwear since I got a pair as a gift. They are pricey, so he gets a pair for every gift occasion. I don't know what makes them so special but even the sales lady commented to me that she doesn't know what is up with them but her boyfriend is the same...will never go back to anything else once he tried them. And they sell like hot cakes

I realize you are just out from surgery so most of what I post is more my routine after 22 months. But something to look forward too.
I'm into the Sunday routine thing too.... A batch of chili, eggplant parmesan (I add meat to up the protein), ExploreAsian noodles/carbonara (made with eggs and parm, not cream), stir fry chicken/shrimp and vegetables (typically little or no rice, love the single serve microwavable rice cups you can buy), grilled hamburgers, grilled pork or turkey burgers, brats. All of these things freeze well in small containers then I have them for lunches at work or at home as I am semi-retired. Occasionally make some jambalaya with just andouille sausage, shrimp and chicken, seasonings and veggies, no rice. Makes a huge batch!
I almost always have a yogurt in my lunch box with a small canister of protein granola to add a bit of texture. Along with one of the above small servings, maybe a string cheese, a few nuts, a mini-box of raisins, a Pure protein bar or a Premier Protein drink. These things are not ALL in my lunch at once, just some of the variety I might have... ;-).
Today I just had a yogurt, granola, cottage cheese and leftover pork loin with a couple small pieces of grilled potato and onion.
