Have a great one  

Just curious.... do you plan your meals for the day, on the day, or before? Can you cut and paste your totals from Fitnesspal, or do you type them in?

Thanks, I have been inputting to my fitness pal as I eat the food, might be better to plan ahead.  judy

In my opinion, planning ahead of time and sticking to that plan is the key to success. Or my success at least. If I don't have my meals planned out (or at least some idea of the food I have, what I feel like eating, how I'll put them together into a protein-forward meal, etc.) I am apt to graze and overeat. Planning is a must-do.

Thanks Karen, I have never been good about planning ahead, but I am going to start making an effort as I really want to lose some weight, prior to my eventual surgery.

I'm a bit out of the loop Barb, with what's been going on but ... injuries and family stuff can be so wearing to the spirit.  Lately, when things have been challenging, my mantra has been "In 3 months this will be a pimple on my a$$". Not very eloquent, but it seems to help me out. Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing day.

Hope you foot holds up today Barb.  Libra I really like your Mantra.  My mantra lately has been "not my monkey".  Yesterday was good at Bluesfest, but I got a little bit too much sun.  Today hubby and I will go to the last day of Bluesfest and I'll try to stay in the shade.

3 weeks post-op full fluids

B. 1 Syntrax Cappucino protein shake

S. 1 large decaf with sweetener

L.  1 cup soup whatever one I like from Zoup

S.  1 Greek 50 yogurt

D. leftover soup from Zoup

S. Menchies sugar free Cherries Jubilee frozen yogurt with sugar free hot fudge sauce.  Tried this yesterday and loved it,  You pay by the weight of yogurt you put in the cup.  for me that wasn't much at all

Have a good day everyone

Morning all :)

Barb, I hope you get a chance to rest up a bit after today - sounds like your body needs it!

Not much on the go today other than gardening and enjoying the sunshine. I love a quiet day with no "must do's".
