Rowing the boat. Or, rocking the boat. What are you eating?

Morning Crewbies!

Another day on my own and I'm finding I'm doing really well as far as sticking to my plans. I realize that when Gary goes and gets a snack, I feel I need one too. Hmmm. Sure is something to be aware of when he comes home. Yesterday I baked 6 chicken thighs and have those in the fridge. I do much better with thighs, even though they have more fat, they don't seem to get stuck, so I can actually get a meal out of one.

Here's my day. Subject to change, of course.

latte
protein coffee

bkfst burrito

cottage cheese & pear

chicken thigh

s--going to the movies with DS & DIL,  popcorn. Yes, definitely popcorn

d- oyster stew. yep. another thing gary doesn't like.

I've decided that having pre measured snacks are the only way I'm going to make it.  Usually I guess at what the portion size is and of course I'm generous... lol

I feel so much better since working with the nutritionist.  A lot of little things came to  light and that helps.

coffee w/creamer

apple w 3 T peanut butter

Oatmeal w/ cranraisins

cheese & crackers

chili w/cheese

protein bar

chicken veggie

cheese & crackers

Hi Millie,

I tell my support group people to measure their food portions at least once a week. After a while we think we know what a 1/4 cup (or whatever) looks like.By occasionally measuring and reminding ourselves just how big a serving is, it really helps to reinforce it.

Hi Susan and everyone!

Wow I did great last night.  Only had a atkins bar for my snack.  Which is good.  At least it has protein in it.

I bought some chicken breats at Aldi's the other day.  They are garlic and herb and nothing on the outside.  It was really good;  I could only eat half of one though.  Had a tablespoon of cottage cheese with it.

B- protein drink
S- string cheese
L-  Going to be at inlaws so I don't know
S- not sure
D- maybe a half of chicken breast I left from last night
S-  Maybe a atkins bar;

Lost two pounds this morning - Yea for me.  Two more pounds and I will be in the 160's  .  I have come a long way.  I feel good

Peace

The additional protein in the evening might just be your answer!  Let's hope for another good evening.

   Hello Susan .....here I go again....

B-omelet (left over from yesterday) w/ steak,cheese, onion, mushroom and peppers

L-Chili w/ cheese  (last of that left over too)

D- steak and Califonia Blend veggies

S-?????

Hope you enjoy your day....hugs....connie d


 

I am still doing fairly well.  Today, I slept in since I was up most of the night..weather watching while Derek was working at the club.  He ended his 8-3 sam shift, got home at 3:45 am, change dinto warm outsode work clothes and left, with poor old JB who was sleeping, and off they went into the storm to snowplow and to salt and shovel. And I had little difficulty going to bed then...my bad!..and slept late.  And now, here I am, waiting for them to come home at 7pm.  I have a huge pot of beef, vegetable and barley soup nice and hot on the stove for them and homemade biscuits.

I got caught up with phone calls and such since I had the house to myself and I am, of course, watching the Winter Olympics!  LilyRose has absconded with my wool again..but it was easily tracked since it unravelled as she travelled. Katie just sits there trying to look innocent but I know better.

I made protein balls yesterday so they sit in the fridge for when my head hunger starts.

This is today's menu:

B   hot chocolate protein drink

S   2 protein balls

L   cheddar cheese, crackers & a banana

S   2 protein balls & a small yogurt

D  bowl of homemade soup

S   hard boiled eggs mashed w/ FF mayo and chopped onion

*3 litres of water and all my supplements

I am still doing tube feedings but I am eating some potato soup and things like that.  I've found that I don't miss the food as much as I miss the chewing. LOL.  I wish I could chew gum.  Good to see you guys are still doing the daily eating thread.  HOpefully, I can contribute more.  There for a while, I felt like crap and just seemed as though my entire world revolved around my weightloss and coming here seemed to remind others of how fragile we wls guys are and I just didn't want to upset everyone.  So, taking a break was not only good for me, but it was also good for all of the newbies.  I'll try not to focus on my pouch so much. But, I can eat potatoes.  Yeah.
