What are you eating/doing today? (Wednesday)

Good morning Pouch Peeps. The temp has dropped, so I'd better bundle up. So sick of winter, and it's not even half over. Anyone want to go to a tropical island with me? DH can't go because of work.

This morning I'm going swimming, then yoga, then the gym. The first 2 are more like a spa thing, lol.

Yesterday was a small pouch day and I didn't get in all of my planned food. We'll see how it goes today.

At 3.5 years post-op the eats today are:

B. Lots of decaf throughout the day. 1/2 of an egg and bacon sandwich (Burnbrae egg patty, bacon, Smartbun) I can never eat more than half at a time.

Snack 1. Egg patty with fresh salsa

Lunch. Crab dip with cucumber "crackers"

Snack 2. Protein Coffee at the gym.

Dinner. Poached egg on smoked salmon with a little Hollandaise and some avocado slices.

Snack 3. The other half of my breakfast sandwich.

Totals: 772, Carbs. 37, Fibre 17, Fat 42, Protein 81.

Seems like I'm craving eggs, lol.

Good morning everyone. Woke up tired this morning. Was lying in bed, not sure if I was trying to convince myself to get up and go to the gym or that it was okay to skip a morning. In the end I decided to skip because there is a weight class I can go to tonight. My Ass Hat Trucker then makes me feel guilty for not going this morning I told him it was okay to miss a day he chirps back you missed two days, because I didn't go on Monday - I was home sick. Any other time he's crabbing at me because I go too often but today - a different story. I was going to jump up and get ready and then I thought screw him!! I will go to the Community Centre at lunch and walk the indoor track and then go do the weight class after work. Guess who is making his own supper tonight?!

B - leftover pot roast

S - greek yogurt, 3 oz strawberries

L - chicken Caesar salad (I think I made it way too big. In what universe is a salad only 2 oz of lettuce and still looks too big?)

S - deli turkey (4 slices), light old cheddar (30 gr)

D - pepperoni pizza cupcakes

S - premier protein (maybe before weight class see how peckish I am)

Total Cal 1399, Carbs 54, Protein 164

Have a great day.

Ginny - we were posting at the same time - I would kick my DH in the head too if he had any comments about me going to or not going to the gym ...:) good plan for today. I think if we go when we are tired, we can injury ourselves - part of loving ourselves is listening to our bodies - when they have energy and when they need energy ... good choice for you

That's funny that his punishment is making his own supper. Every once and a while, my DH will say things like "chew, chew, chew" (he came to the orientation with me) or "it's not good that you are going so long without eating". It's a good thing he is cute, or I might have to trade him in for some of that beefcake I see at the gym, lol.

He doesn't usually say anything like that to me, except that I'm not eating enough, he thinks I need to eat back my exercise calories. If he's eating chips, cake, candy he always offer me some. He's definitely not my "eating police".

Man, I wish I could say I had a "small pouch day" - I can't remember the last time that happened. I always feel hungry - maybe not physical hunger but mental hunger for sure is a struggle for me these days. I have done a group power class this morning at the gym - whole body weight training - it killed me. Here are my eats for the day:

breakfast: egg and cheese omelette with 6 almonds

snack: greek yogurt with raspberries

lunch: restaurant with clients - protein and veggies

snack: pepperette and mini belle cheese

dinner: taco meat with cheese and avocado

snack: low fat low sugar popcycle

I really dragged my butt energy wise yesterday so hoping that improves. Next week, we are heading to Disney for a quick 4 day get away from Thursday - Sunday - but then the following week I am back to Orlando for a work conference so I am planning on using the hotel gym A LOT but worried about the food

Sounds like the class I'm going to do tonight. It's an hour so I think it will kill me too. I am just starting into the classes so its hard for me to know what weights to put on and then if I have to change them I feel like I'm wasting time. I think I'll set up two sets of weight tonight.

Love total body toning. You feel it for days.

I think I have been having small pouch days because I have been really low carbing. Right now there doesn't seem to be any cravings apart from eggs.

Good morning :)

I will do my best to stay out of the cold today. What a change from yesterday!! Oh, guess what I did... I bought vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain. 21 grams of sugar in 3/4 of a cup. DH will get a little treat this week lol. He figured it out after he went to make garlic dip and it tasted funny. What a waste!!

I managed to clean out the fridge but not the freezer. I forgot to go to the dollar store. Oops!! I will try to go tomorrow after my morning appointment.

Today I have a massage and I'm hoping she can help with some of my back and leg aches.

Post-op two years, ten months.

Breakfast - turkey sausage and banana

Snack - yogurt, cereal

Lunch - leftover homemade pizza

Snack - peanut butter something

Dinner - cheeseburger casserole in the slow cooker

Snack - pudding

All water and vits.

I've bought the vanilla SKYR by mistake. It's easily done.
