Good morning. Didn't nap again yesterday and went to Walmart for an hour. Progression! I was tired and swollen after, but still....hmm...still....a word that doesn't suit me! Lol

today's menu:

b: Greek yogurt mix, protein coffee

l: leftover spaghetti squash and meat sauce

s: rest of lunch portion

d: chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese and asparagus, and asparagus

all water and vits. Have a great day all!

It must be relly hard for you to take it easy but remember you need to heal. Hope you start to feel better everyday

Wore long johns under my pants to work. The big chill was not welcome. Just work today. I will either do the treadmill later or a meditation yoga tape. I need to stretch out some muscles I used yesterday swimming. Loved my new $10.00 bathing suit. Didn't feel like the top was lowering when I pushed off from the wall like my other one.

Zizzler I was looking at making the almond milk. The recipe I saw called for 1/2c almonds with 1 cup water. That would be over 200 calories in almonds. I guess I will play with the amount of almonds.

b greek yogurt, granola, raspberries

l salisbury steak, salad, yogurt

s carrots, hummus

d meat balls in pasta sauce, salad

s ?

cal 904, carb 68.5, prot 62.7

Half a cup seems like lot of almonds, I would start with 15 natural Unroasted almonds, which works out to about 100 calories, then go from there.  I usually add ez-sweetz, which is sucralose if drinking it plain. Hope you like it, when I was a vegetarian I used to live on it!

TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE !!!

Today I start my 2 week pre-op diet ..... I am more excited than words can explain !!!!

B - 1 bottle Boost Diabetic (Vanilla)

   - 1 scoop Genuine Health Proteins +

   - place in my lovely new pink Blender Bottle

   - shake well

   - clean off wall, chair, table, my face .... put my robe in wash !!

   - rinse out Pink Blender Bottle

   - add another Boost for Diabetic and another scoop of Genuine Health Proteins +

   - shake well ..... THIS TIME HOLDING DOWN THE CAP ON MY PINK BLENDER BOTTLE

   - sit quietly in kitchen and take 30 min. to drink above (and listen to my husband laugh !!)

S - 1 Beef Broth

L - Repeat of Breakfast  (hopefully without the spill sequence !! )

S - 1 glass Chicken Broth

D - Repeat of Breakfast ( definitely without the spill ..... I am a slow learner .... but I just HAVE to have figured it out by then !!!!)

S - Same as Dinner !

Snow here and VERY cold .... so frozen brain might explain earlier adventure .... no .... wait .... I have not been outside yet ...... guess I just have to acknowledge my Klutzyness and get on with the day !!! ...... get to pick up my Granddaughter from school, have her here for supper and then take her to Sparks (tiny Girl Guides) .... they are visiting the local fire hall tonight, so that should be more than a little exiting !!!!

Congrats and my best wishes are with you for this new journey. I have to say your message made me laugh this morning. By dinner you will be a pro of making these shakes - lol.

In no time you will be a pro at the shakes. It did sound like something I would do. Good luck with your pre diet. At least you do not have to endure Opti

Gah - went out of a 20 minute walk at lunch and damn near froze the girls off ... holy crap my body does NOT like the cold now.  I *almost* miss my 'natural insulation' (almost ... not quite  ).
