What we are eating,and what's eating us!!!! Tuesday!

Good morning Linda and Friends!  It must have been the multigrain (with flax) tortilla wrap I had for lunch yesterday - today I have the runs!  I was wondering why my tummy was rumbling and grumbling, then it hit!  TMI!  I know flax seeds either ground or whole have that affect on me. B - protein shake S - protein shake L - baked trout, salad, and 2 tbsp. mashed taters (if the runs have subsided) S - yogurt or crackers and cheese D - We're going to the Hornets' playoff game after work.  I may try to sneak a protein bar in my purse just in case. S - apple and peanut butter or protein shake Food is up in the air because of above mentioned problems.  I definitely must be mindful of my fluid intake today.  I'll go forward, but not with much gusto unless it's a mad dash to the bathroom! 

You poor thing!! The tators may help with the runs, I hear bananas do also. I hope you enjoy your game, I am gonaa get me some flaxseed, I could use a little help!! Hugs, sweet Angel!

Linda, I talked to my nutritionist on the phone yesterday because I've been gaining weight even though I've made no changes to my eating or exercise.  She told me I need more protein and to drink a protein shake before I exercise in the morning.  This may end up adding calories to my daily intake, which terrifies me (I'm such a control freak), but I promised to try it for 1 week. B:  protein shake made w/ skim milk S:  1 oz Better Balance protein cereal w/ 1/3 c. skim milk & 1 banana S:  1/2 c. pistachio cottage cheese pudding L:  2 oz. shrimp, 1/2 c. roasted mixed vegs (asparagus, red pepper, & yellow squash) S:  1/2 c. Mandarin cottage cheese D:  2 oz steak, 1/2 c. cucumber salad S:  4 oz. mango custard Jean

Jean, your NUT is soooo right! It is the same thing my NUT told me, do NOT skimp on the protein. I know this will work for you!! Hugs and prayers.

Hey Linda, Good to see you back.  My Menu for today will be: Cup-o-ambition.  B-2 oz Fage yogurt. S- Protein drink. L- 1 oz string cheese and 1 oz deli turkey. S-Protein drink. D- 1 oz Boca burger and 1 oz lite canned pears. S-Protein drink. Lotsa water and 4 multi vitamins.  I have a cold and feel like crap, but I'm suitin' up and showin' up and that's what matters.

Reggi, you are too cute!! Cup-o-ambition!! Hows about some extra vitamin C to go with that?? They come in chewable. I hear ya about suiting up and showing up. You rock!!! Hugs!

I've got my Fuzzy Navel protein powder that I will have tonight.(21 grm)  This morning I mixed a little bit of coffee with my Unjury(20 gms) chocolate and a couple of ice cubes and put it in the Magic Bullet, and by the time I got to work, the head was off and it was drinkable. I'm also sippin' on a Isopure(40 gms) while I work.  I'm taking those 4 chewable gigantic vitamins a day so I think I'm covered, so the nut says.

Hi Linda:  You sound perkier!  Hope that is the case! B:  cream of wheat L:  pureed veg/beef soup S: carnation instant breakfast D: egg with pureed chicken S:  pudding

Hi Linda.  Sounds like you're feeling pretty good.  Your little smiley faces are so cute.  It's hot there, so they're cutting their hair to try to stay cool?  It's usually pretty hot here in North Texas, too.  I think it got up to 85 today.  Thank God for air conditioning! The guy came out today to check my oxygen concentrator, and it somehow got turned down to 1/2.  Yikes, that's not good.  It's supposed to be set on 2.  I usually go to bed in the dark, but I guess I better start turning on the light and checking the setting first.
