Glad to hear you liked the chili.  It really hits the spot for me!

Good morning all. Feeling better today. Not so out of it.I told my husband not to bring home wine because i was not drinking after hitting my head. After dinner he said he made coffee and would bring me one. Sounded good. He put brandy in it! Not sure why he would think I need that with a head injury

Off for a walk with the dog soon. Need to stretch out the soreness. A bunch of people asked to be added as friends on fitbit. With my inactivity for two days they have pushed me way to the bottom. Some friends. LOL Obviously need to get moving.

Glad you're feeling better, Pat. Enjoy your day! I'm going to check out your quinoa stuffed pepper recipe.

Hey Barb. Sounds like a fun day ahead! What movie are you seeing? I went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show late last night - playing in a movie theatre on the screen, with an in person cast acting it out on stage as well. It was wild, and fun.

For the last few days, I've taken to going back onto MFP the next day and changing what I plugged into the day before to reflect what I actually ate, since I have no idea whether the amount I'm planning for myself is completely unrealistic or not, and that way I can see what my real eating patterns are and what I really lose or gain on. Yesterday is confusing, because I did some substituting and added stuff here and there and when I totaled everything up this morning, I ended up with way more calories than usual - like, I'm talking around 2,000 calories - and yet, I still lost a pound or two (hard to tell on my scale, it's analog and the ticks between numbers are tiny).  I got a lot of exercise yesterday (a lot of walking), but it's still weird that I would lose weight after eating that many calories. It was completely unexpected.

Anyhow, I'm going to a party tonight where I know I'll be drinking lots of red wine, so I'm just sticking three glasses in my totals now and trying to factor the rest of my food day around it since I know that when I go to parties at this particular friend's place, we stay late and sip wine all night.  Maybe I should see whether I can just move to water after the second glass.  But I'm putting the third glass in anyhow.  Also, I'm helping her with party prep, so I'm going to ride my bike there this afternoon, then back to my place before the party (which will add 14 km of cycling to my day), then go over with hubby on the subway to the party.  I'm hoping if I eat good, hearty things during the day, it will help me not to go too crazy tonight on the food and drink.

16 MONTHS POST-RNY

B - 1 egg fried in 1 tsp olive oil and 1 piece P28 bread toasted

S - 1/2 cup ricotta/vanilla/stevia mix, with 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries

L - 4 oz leftover rotisserie chicken breast, 1/4 cup green garbanzo beans sauteed in garlic, onion and 1/2 tsp olive oil

S - Homemade chicken spread, spread on 1 slice P28 bread - heavy on the protein around the time I'm going to be biking

D - I'm putting in the canapes I'm bringing to the party, but there will be substitutions since I'm not sure what else will be served. 9 smoked salmon and cream cheese canapes spread out over the evening. So, 9 pita bites crackers, maybe 70g smoked salmon, 4 tbsp light cream cheese - I'm thinking a little under 1/2 tbsp on each cracker? Anyhow, just an estimate, and as I say, probably will be having a variety of stuff.

S - 12 oz red wine (3 glasses)

TOTALS: 118g protein, 56g fat, 73 carbs, 14g fiber, 1565 calories

Have a great Saturday, all!

I am pre-op

b - silhouette yogurt

l - can of kippered herring (forgot how good these are)

d- miracle ziti noodles (new shape) with diced tomatoes and mozzarella cheese

s - think I might try making pudding and adding protein powder - have not tried it that way yet.  Usually I add it to a cup of pre-made no sugar added pudding, which tastes fine.  Mixed the whey protein with mushroom soup the other day and it tasted fine too.

drinks: Dasani grape

btw I am totally loving unsweetened chocolate almond breeze heated in the microwave and then add e-z sweetz and whisk in bulk barn plain whey protein powder.  Tastes amazingly creamy. Sometimes I add a little vanilla too to give it a bit of zip.  Great way to get protein in on a cold day!
