weekend - how ya gonna come out smiling?
The weekends are usually a challenge. How are you guys going to survive this one? I will: walk Saturday morning for one hour journal my food. Sunday, take DH to airport - 6 hour drive. Take bariatric foods with me, but we will stop for one restaurant meal. I'll be good and order an eggwhite omelet. Eat one piece of toast. Home from airport: go for a long bike ride
That night, eat leftover bean soup, some bread.
Hide those %$%$#^ girl scout cookies or give them away before I'm alone with them.
Hi mama! Thank you for your post about my FIL (for those who missed it, my 87 yo father in law passed yesterday). It was funny, now that you mention it, I did stress eat when I got home with my DH. The good news is I have my WW 35 points to use up anyway this weekend, so my little mini-implode did not do too much damage. I haven't done stress eat in a while now, so it was kind of a surprise. I was present, thinking, okay every bite you eat here before supper takes away from what you get later. I'm just in slight turmoil on should I go...work...money...stuff to do before we go on a major ass vaca next week...my sweet sister in law who sounded disapointed when I said I may not come up...ya know? Still sorting it out, i may still go, screw the money it will cost. I'll just put it out for God to help me with. Yup, cloudy up here on my end of Cali, too. But nice, really. I did that walk, and washed my car. The bariatric foods: I get from the bariatric doc i saw august - Feb. His webpage is carbessential.net. I go the store here in town. I buy the cappacino, that is breakfast most days. I buy the peach mango drink (80 calories, 15 g protein) for afternoons, i get the soups, also 80 cals, plus soy chips from that office. i typically grab a few drinks that you mix right in the bottle just to toss in my desk. For the most part, i get my protein bars at Costco: the premeir bars, cut those in half, have half in the morning, the other half later. I also get the whey protein powder there. Then, i cruise Safeway, raleys for micellar milk, odwalla bars (hi pro only), atkins bars, etc. i try to get all that on sale. I bought some unflavor soy powder at GNC, and that's my other breakfast: 1/2 c oj + 13g soy powder + 2 teaspoons psyllium husk. Eating one of the above choices every couple hours - USUALLY does it for me hunger wise. There are "those days", when i have to add in some veggies. I have a rat race job, always running off,always at meetings way too long, so having this stuff in my briefcase just does it for me. I also travel a lot, and those that do know there are not many good choices on the road! I am always hungry for supper, by then, I have snapped, tired, pissed about something. i like th days when I can then jump on my bike before supper or walk a bit, but that does not always happen.
