Morning everyone!  Woke up early this morning because the heat was turned up too high and I was boiling alive.  Hubby stays up half the night and turns the heat way up because it's colder downstairs than upstairs.  Which means it's approximately the climate of Hell in our room right now.

Today: eating breakfast early and getting to the pool by just before 7:30 so I can swim laps until 8 or so. Then coming home, picking up hubby and driving him to work.  Then going out to do some grocery shopping just for some produce - never made it to the veggie market yesterday.  Also going to the LCBO to pick up wine and beer to bring with us tonight when visiting friends.  Not clear on whether we're being served supper at our friends' place or not since it wasn't mentioned, but we're invited to show up "any time after 7". So to be safe, I'm assuming not, and I'll be sure to eat something at home before going, but leave room in my menu to nibble at the friends' place.  In any case, I have to make something for my kid to eat, since I doubt he'll want to come with us.

Had a spectacularly crappy eating day yesterday despite planning out my menu.  It's frustrating not being able to get a handle on my eating.  I guess being at home with all the food isn't helping at all.  Maybe I should look forward to being back at work on Monday, but I'm actually not looking forward to it at all.  Oh well.

I packed a great lunch for my husband yesterday though.  And he liked it and ate it.  I was happy about that!  He is worried because he's been gaining weight lately, so since I'll be packing my lunches for work, I'll see whether I can start packing stuff for him too.  He'll never pack his own lunch if left up to him, because he's just as happy to buy lunch at work, but when he buys lunch out, the portion sizes are too huge.

1 YEAR POST-RNY

B - 1/2 cup light ricotta/vanilla/splenda mix with 1/2 cup mixed raspberries and blackberries

S - 2 clementines, and a handful of mixed nuts in the shell (so I have to crack them to get at them...)

L - Leftover peel and eat chili shrimp and leftover spicy tofu (never did have that yesterday)

S - Another round of light ricotta with raspberries and blackberries. It's comfort food so hoping that will kill the cravings for crap.

D - Boneless/skinless chicken prepared with jerk sauce, and less than 1/4 cup of basmati rice, and some garden salad.

S - 2 glasses of red wine at our friends' place

TOTALS: 97g protein, 39g fat, 53g carbs, 13g fiber, 1209 calories

So, there's room for me to have 200-300 calories at our friends' place if they are serving any sort of meal.  And a decent amount of room in my carbs and fat in case the food isn't overly healthy.

Have a great day, everyone!

Good morning everyone.                                                                                                                

Going in to TWH for my 3 month blood tests—this time I checked and it’s opened. After I have some breakfast, I am joining a gym.  I finally found one that I like.                      

Have a wonderful weekend!

Had a mixed up day today. Took the dog for a walk then went for fasting blood work. Wanted to do thsi while off work so i wouldn't have to take time off. They did not have the vile for one of the tests. So I have to go back. Fortunately it can be at any time since it is not a fasting one. Somehow I managed to over eat at lunch so will have to watch the rest of the day
