What are you eating/doing today? (Tuesday)

Thanks! I'm really trying. I've always been a really successful 'dieter'. I'm doing this as hopefully a more successful long term plan, you know, instead of hating myself every 4-5 years when I get fat again. I'm hopeful for sure!

And thanks for the cute dogs comment. They're kinda my whole life (you know other than work and family). Ruby is a 12 year old yellow lab and Nola is a 5 year old Curly-Coated Retriever. Love them :)

Good morning all,

Work today then home. Family for dinner tonight. Glad DH is cooking. Starting physio today. Hope they can give me exercises to helps.

b greek yogurt, banana

l beef barley soup (more like a stew), yogurt

s baby bel

d stir fry chicken, salad

s laughing cow crackers

Pat I am praying that the physio helps.  

Physio did squat for me.  Sure hope it helps Pat.  Pain makes it difficult to think/eat/sleep etc etc.

So far it is a pain in the ass. Literally. Seems I need to work on my gluts. Willing to try anything

That is what my instructor said when I asked for exercises for you.  I think the exercise on the floor she wanted you to fire your gluts.  When I do squats, my instructor is always saying to fire my gluts as I straighten up.  My butt is so flat now it's hard to find my gluts, lol.

Good day everyone,

Today I'm doing some serious cleaning, I had planned to do it this weekend before surgery, however I had to have the electrician in to replace all the outlets on one whole side of my house and boy can they make a mess! So needless to say, that will keep me busy for the day!

My eats for the day

B, L, D and snack 1 -  Optifast with a teaspoon of decaf coffee and a couple drops of French vanilla extract (I'm a creature of habit and once I find something I like I stick with it)

Snack 2 - 1 cup of vegetable broth

Have a great day everyone!!

Looking good Cinderz.  You can also put the same Opti in a Magic Bullet with lots of ice for a frappuccino style drink.  

Hi crqvingchange, 

My magic bullet is my best friend! I throw several ice cubes through my snow cone ice crusher (which has also become my best friend, and so glad I bought it for $10.00, when Zellers went out of business!!)

The shakes come out thick like an actual milkshakes they go down easier and I feel fuller then if just made with plain water and no ice. When I go to friends places I pack it all with me and friends now even keep instant decaf coffee and ice on hand, one even keeps benfibre as that is a must for every shake lol

Eyes on the prize.  Good luck next week
