Good morning everyone!

The weekend was a lot of fun, unfortunately I over indulged.    Today I’m back to basics and back on track. I’m not even going to weigh myself until Sunday because I don’t want to get upset and I would rather give myself time to recoup. I’m looking forward to a nice long walk today and a sleepover at the sleep lab tonight.

Hope everyone has a good day!

B- Oatmeal with ground flaxseed & cinnamon and coffee

L-Tuna and tomato slices

D- Eggs and tomatoes

Snack-Greek yogurt

Cal-700, Carbs-34, Fat-13, Protein-99, Sugar-13, Chol-481

Good morning!

The ability to recognize that you were off-track, and then get back ON, is an important skill - good for you! I am guessing you are hating TV commercials these days and the fact that the CNE is on, since it means back-to-school is imminent. lol I worked for Peel for 14 years before moving to municipal government and I *still* cringe at the commercials and CNE opening. ;)

General domestic goddess duties today and I have to re-arrange my fridge. We cooked all freakin day yesterday and leftovers are everywhere. I do have a rather nice selection of eats though. Ridiculous that I am craving tuna with everything else in the fridge. lol

Anyway.... eats for today:

8 years post-op

B - coffee with cream x 4 over the morning (I was up really early), source greek 50 key lime, Premier protein shake

S - thin slice of banana bread with 1 Tbl. peanut butter, handful of grapes

L - fully-loaded crustless quiche (5 inch meat-pie size equals 1.5 eggs with lots of meat, cheese and veggies)

S - Chike protein iced coffee

S2 - leftover roast beef salad (about 2oz beef)

D - leftover chicken stir-fry, about a quarter cup rice

S - not sure yet

Have a great day!

OMGoodness Karen!!! You are right on! I was just having this discussion with someone yesterday... how as a kid I hated the Jerry Lewis Telethon ads cuz it meant school was around the corner ... now I hate CNE commercials for the same reason. I'm 4 years from retirement and dislike it soooooo much, I'm actively looking for another job where I can transfer my pension....or Plan B meet my Prince Charming who will insist I travel the world with him ...or Plan C suck it up and go to meditation and art classes to deal with it...I just registered for both classes.  Looking forward to another fun filled, delightful school year.

Haa! All good plans - I vote for Plan D - all of the above!

Morning! Enjoy your evening at the sleep lab, libra. :)

I had a great weekend. I got a nice start on painting by doing the first couple of paintings that I have really liked. A long way to go before I'm any good, but it's fun! Not very active, though. Yesterday I spent the afternoon and evening doing some canvassing (well, literature dropping really) for a friend who is running for council (in another ward), and he held a social afterwards where we ate, drank, and were merry. I didn't drink because I was driving, and I behaved myself relatively well with the food. So at least I got some exercise this weekend walking door to door yesterday.

Today: Rode my bike to work, and tonight when I get home I'll be cleaning the house if I have the energy, because we're having a birthday party this weekend for a relative. I figure if I get the house clean now, I can spend the rest of the week just thinking about prep. The only trick will be getting hubby not to mess the place up between tonight and the weekend! LOL.

1 YEAR, 9 MONTHS POST-RNY

B - Toasted P28 bread with some peanut butter spread on it, and a glass of milk (just beforehand)

S - A banana, then later a Quest protein bar

L - Leftover coconut curry okra tofu on a bit of rice

S - 1/2 cup ricotta/vanilla/splenda mix with 1/2 cup blueberries. Also brought some cherries in case of munchies later in the afternoon.

D - Some kind of meaty cheesy polenta thing, not sure exactly how I'm going to prepare it yet. The polenta is for hubby, so it will be heavier on the meat/cheese and lighter on the polenta for me.

S - Not sure...will think of something!
