Good morning Pat, tgif indeed! I love games like scrabble and cards too.  So nice to stay in when it's cold out eh?  Just work and the gym today, regular routine stuff.  I tried Sensato hot cereal 2 net carbs per serving and it was disgusting, omg, and expensive, definitely not buying it again. I got apple cinnamon, it tasted like soap!

B - gnc protein shake with decaf crystals added, decaf coffee

s - cottage cheese with mango orange sf nestea added

l - 3/4 cup leftover crockpot mushroom porkloin with 1 tbsp peas

s - 2 slices blue menu Swiss cheese with cucumber slices, later...decaf coffee or sf orange koolaid

D - chicken souflaki with tzatziki and Greek salad

S - souflaki leftovers if I get hungry, later...vanilla chamomile herbal tea with a little milk before bed

All water and vits, have a good one!

I find a lot of the specialty foods are crap. I could not stand the bread everyone buys. Tasted like cardboard. Rather not have it than eat that

We cheat at scrabble and often use a dictionary to "check spelling". But it is just us for fun and we do not take it serious

This one was beyond yucky, I am thinking of contacting the store to complain, it was that bad.  The breads I find are hit and miss, I try not to eat them as I still wish to lose another 10lbs and I find even the low carb ones addictive.  Plus expensive, 7.99 for one loaf! I recently started playing dominos, it's actually pretty fun. I wish you a nice relaxing night in.

Morning all:

B-  1 cup strawberries with Lite cool whip, premier protein drink, dark and rich hot chocolate

S-cheese stick

L-bruschetta on melba toast

D--pulled pork

jello with cool whip

Hey Laurie. I'm just a creeper on this page not a poster. Just from reading your menus they seem very low in protein. I know it's none of my business but do you track this in my fitness pal or some other tracker? To see what your values are?  

Edited to say I just noticed your protein drink!  Sorry. 

Monica:

Be a poster, not a creeper, it's important to have the support.  I'm just restarting eating correctly, I fell off the eating properly diet and regained 25 pounds, this is my attempt to get on track.  I'm hoping that people will comment on anything that looks out of whack and I appreciate your comment, really.

Thanks

Laurie

ps--Holy crap it's a lot harder to get it off now than it was before

Thanks Laurie. I read your Christmas post about getting back on track. It's easy to get off. I read this forum several times a day although I don't plan or post my meals I try to be very aware of what is going in my mouth. I will be 3 years out the end of February. I get on the scale every day to keep myself in line. I go up and down 2 lbs. I think the key is never getting away from this site and never thinking "that I've got this". Because we don't. We need to be on top of our game every day and when we fall down we need to get right back up. Wishing you all the best with your gain. You have got this. Keep being accountable on here and it will come off. Good luck. 

Hello Everyone.  I don't know what is wrong with me.  I have been totally off plan the last week or so.  I am not following my menu plan, eating the wrong things, eating too much.  I am never going to reach my goal if I don't get my **** together.  

So, I am trying something different.... again.  I am going to plan my meals in mfp, the day before, then I don't have to think about it in the morning, or just not bother to plan, then record at the end of the day. I am also going to include more snacks, it might help stop me from eating the WRONG snacks.  Now that all the holiday crap is out of the house it should be easier too.

I am hoping this will help me get back on track.  I went through the Ontario recipe forum, and picked out some new recipes to try, maybe that will help, boredom, eating the same food all the time, I think is part of my problem.

B- greek source yogurt

L- 3 blue menu meatballs, quarter cup Newmans marinara, laughing cow jalapeno wedge melted on top.

D- taco salad made with 3oz ground turkey.

S's- 1 hard boiled egg, the other 3oz of taco turkey meat with a little salsa and cheese, lemon source greek with tbsp walden cranberry sauce.

mfp totals:  calories 635, carbs 34, fat 23, protein 73.

Bye for now

Hang in there Judy. Its hard to get back on track, but try your best and take it one day at a time. Good idea to plan ahead and always pack healthy snacks so you are not tempted. The other day i wanted a cookies so bad, i stopped myself when at that same time, my 600lb. life came on, that was enough to make me not eat it, lol. Stay strong girl.
