What are you eating---- and a big thank you

Okay folks, I'm going to start doing this thread for anyone who wants to participate. After the wonderful and insightful responses to my post yesterday, I realize just how many of us are rowing upstream in the same boat.

Thank you one and all who made me feel like I'm NOT a failure and who offered support, suggestions and most of all love.


Here's my plan for today

Latte---1% milk, SF

breakfast burrito--eggbeaters, turkey sausage and a whole wheat tortilla

latte--FF SF
snack-- 11 almonds, med orange

lunch--2 oz left over pork chop, 2 inch potato pancake

snack--cottage cheese w/ home made applesauce

latte--1% milk, SF

dinner--grilled tilapia poached in salsa, broccoli and brown rice

Will do my calorie count in a bit and add whatever it takes to get to my 1400 cals.

Everyone have a great day!


cals:  1247  fat: 32  carb: 143  fiber:  22   Pro:  98

Hi Susan and good morning!

I don't know yet except I will have a protein drink this morning.

Lunch- Maybe cottage cheese or another shake.

Dinner -  Ham and green beans.

Other than that I have no clue...  lol.. I don't meal plan very well.

Thanks for starting the thread .  I think it will keep us on track

Morning Susan...
   I am so inspired and encouraged by people like you and of course my "great " support leader Annette.  You keep doing what you need to do..you;ll get rid of that extra 10 pounds.

  Breakfast   protein shake with Click
  Snack   cheese stick (red. fat) , carrot sticks, few Wheat thins

  Lunch   yogurt, carrot sticks, almonds

  Dinner  ham and bean soup (homemade) or scrambled eggs with ham

  Bedtime snack protein shake  (pumpkin gingerbread)

 I'm probably not eating as much as I should either, but, with my parathyroid problem my belly always feels bloated and full.

 My measurements have stayed the same tho!!!!!  Thats a good thing!

 Have a great day...hugs to those who need them.

thanks Susan for starting this thread...i am horrible at making and sticking to menus....but you look like you have a great plan there do you mind if i copy off of you daily? maybe i can stick with it that way. my problem is not being able to eat enough at meals and needing to eat about every 2 hours. maybe i can devide my meals in half and eat the other half as a snack??? do you all think that would work....im sick and tired of not ever getting down to goal in the first place and now have gained back 5 pounds. that just wont go away...

Jan, what works for me is eating several small meals though out the day. If it's planned you are NOT grazing. It helps keep your blood sugar level and helps from snacking on carbs...or at least that works for me.

To sit down and eat just 3 meals a day with 1 or 2 snacks...well it doesn't work for me at all.

I don't count calories but I do protein.

 Susan,
Thanks for giving us the oars and incentive to move this boat. We will move this boat upsteam yet.

B - cottage cheese, berries, Kashi Go Lean
L - 3 oz chicken, green salad
S - apple & peanut butter
D - pork chops & green beans

Maybe some SF pudding later - if I make some

kisses

I may need a vanilla chai to get me to 1200 calories.  We'll see.
I didn't get any exercise in again, but I think tomorrow will be the day.  The cold doesn't seem to be bothering me as much today - 15*.  It helps that the sun is shining. Going to go fill up my water bottle now.

I took the suggestion of another OFFer and did my meal plan on fitday.com.  What an eye opener.  There is almost double the Sodium I should have in my diet today.  I plan to use this tool every day now.
Thanks,
Bev
