What are you eating/doing today (Friday)

I'm on here earlier than usual today, so thought i'd post.

Yesterday I had a wee fiasco with testing my sugar levels with trying protein only. I was fine, and even through spinning class (exercise will often cause a drop in sugar levels). So I kept up with the plan.

Then I gardened.....forgetting it was exercise. As I sat there trying to figure out the difference between a weed and a plant....I started getting dizzy. LOL. Sugars were nice and low (2.4) So banana and peanut butter got added to my diet yesterday. Oh well

Today I am spinning again ****ep forgetting my runner's, and only have cycling shoes with me at work). And i'm off to TWH for my one year appointment with the surgeon that I missed.

B - Coffee, Babybell cheese and strawberries
S - Banana and peanut butter
L - Mixed greens and tuna
S - probably a coffee at TWH
D - some sort of delicious concoction that my boyfriend will make woohoo!!

Oh what a wonderful morning, oh what a wonderful day!
I feel like singing - it is so GORGEOUS outside!

 B - bowl oat bran cereal w 1/2 banana, large coffee
 S - fresh strawberries in 1/2 c cottage cheese (1%)
 L - bowl of red lentil soup
 S - protein bar, mint tea
 D - 1/2 bowl of salad w barbacoa, avocado, salsa, cheese and black beans

Nice long walk tonight after work.
Kayaking on the Humber River this weekend - can't wait.

I'm one week post-op & trying to find the right balance on how much I should be eating & drinking - I'm finding it a bit tough, but I'm sure it will get easier.

B - 1/3 cup of 1% cottage cheese & water with Crystal Light
L - SF pudding cup (3/4 c)
D - Strained cream of mushroom soup (3/4 c)
Lots of water throughout the day.

I realized that I forgot to have my protein shake so I'll make sure I get that in tomorrow.

 Hey Deb :)

I noticed that you wrote "cottage cheese and water"... You shouldn't drink with your foods ;) the water will flush your foods thru your pouch and you you won't get what yu need. The general rule is: no liquids 30mins before and 30mins after a meal ;)

Do you have a meal pn that you are following from  your center? Definitely try to get the protein shake in ;)

 sorry, my phone is being weird tonight. It won't let me edit anything....
I wanted to write "food Plan"

Grrrr - I can't believe that I forgot something so basic! Thanks for reminding me of that Leanne. I think that I will have to make a few "flash-card" type notes on bright paper & stick them on my fridge until doing these things becomes second nature for me. No wonder I felt as though I was still hungry even after I had eaten my food - the water must have been just pushing it right through! Duh!

I'm also going to make sure tomorrow that I get my protein shake in early so that I can try to get in a second one later in the day.
