What we are eating and what's eating us-TUESDAY!
On Monday afternoon,I received a message about the untimely death of the husband of my closest friend, Ginette. They were in the midst of a divorce and he had threatened suicide a number of times since the separation.
Early Monday morning, his body was found up north where he had moved to, in a snowbank. They had been married over 30 years and have a 25 yr old daughter.
I knew Gary, 47, he was a former customer of mine in the "chicken" business and I knew that she was going to leave what she felt to be an abusive marriage. I supported her all the way...tho no one knows what goes on behind closed doors, she is my best friend and I was there for her. He didnt make it easy for her at all..in fact, he continued to try and punish her for daring to leave.
But today, I still feel very sad.. . any early death is a tragedy, be it voluntary or not. My heart aches for my friend and her daughter.
Today I will focus on gratitude for my life..for what WLS has given me, a second chance to live. Today I send healing energy to my friend and her family, and also to all of those who feel so desperate or so angry or so fearful, that they can no longer see the miracle of being alive. Today I am alive and that alone is a miracle.
Rufus will be fed:
B Matrix hot choclate protein drink
S cheese & 3 crackers
L homemade beef & bean soup
S cheese & 3 crackers
D homemade high-protein, high fibre chilli
S tangelo/apple
Nancy B & Rufus
BUT...am seriously thinking protein drink before I go....
Not sure about a snack but do know I'm doing homemade chili for lunch and will probably eat the leftovers later in the day.
Dinner?...Leftover bbq?

I am so sorry for the death of your friend. I am also sorry for the problems that they had during his life. You are a true friend, being there for her and yet feeling the sadness of his death, no matter what the cir****tances are. It is a sad time when someone thinks that they only recourse that they have is to end their life. It is such a sadness and such a waste since there is always answers of some type for whatever problems you face. My prayers and/or warm thoughts go out to the family. I am keeping your friend and their daughter in my heart.
Yesterday the food went well. I started journeying it so I am hoping that continues to help also. I am determined to lose the rest of this 20 pounds that the doctor wants me to before surgery. Personally I would like to lose a bit more than that. But then again, sometimes I wonder if I haven't traded one compulsion of overeating for another of losing more and more weight. I am very much a person with a compulsive personality. I really must work on that also. Any type of compulsion is not good~I must remember that there is not always black and white and there are shades of gray also. In all things in my life!
B: sf oatmeal with 3 T high energy mix mixed in with it
S: applesauce
L: whole wheat English muffin with cheese
S: orange
D: shrimp and veggies
I always loved seafood of all types but now since surgery I actually crave it. I would eat it everyday if I thought that Bill would let me. He loves it too so it doesn't bother him if we have it ALOT but then again he does like to have something different too. ha ha
Have a wonderful day and stay warm......or at least give it you best shot. I am sending love and hugs and prayers/good thoughts to you this fine day.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.
nancy sorry about your friend, she is lucky to have you.
im not sure what im doing today, i slept in and its almost 8 am and i havent even had coffee.
im debating whether to eat my pure protein peanut butter bars , maybe i should go check the FDA website.
so many items are being recalled day by day. i just saw that zone perfect recalled some of its bars . grrrrrrrrr i hate these recalls
anyway, wishing everyone a good day.
ohhhhhhh last nite i got brave and had a little beef stew for dinner. last year i got sooooo sick when i tried it, i was really nervous about trying it again. all went well though but i only ate two little pieces of meat, and mostly the veggies and a small potato.
be safe, well and warm everyone, jacki
Yesterday went pretty well, I managed to get thru the morning with only yogurt for a snack.....it's the evening that gives me the most trouble....did go over my calorie count, but still managed to lose 1/2 lb. so that's good.
Was on the exercise bike for 45 min. and did 6 miles, I am so proud of myself.
Any of you who use the PB2 products - I received an e-mail from them (maybe you did too) stating that their product is safe. They are also trying to get their products into local grocery stores.....that would be nice.
Today's menu:
B - cottage cheese pancakes w/sf syrup
S - none today
L - cheesy chicken and cauliflower soup (from bariatriceating.com)
S - yogurt
D - pork chop, grilled and sm salad w/ff dressing
Enjoy the day and be sure to watch history in the making.
Sending good vibes to our Carla.
