Rowing, sailing, and just paddling along. What's on your plate?

It's nice to see we've picked up a few crewmates. We are in this together, and besides, it's always more fun when there a gaggle of friends helping each other.

Work was busy yesterday and so I had to grab snacks and lunch as I could. There's never a routine for me on a work day, but I do really try to at least schedule myself a 30=-45 minute break. Most of the time it works, sometimes it doesn't. Can't help someone not showing up on time and my schedule getting out of whack. All I can do is what I can do!

bkfst burrito
applesauce/cottage cheese
smart ones chicken quesidilla
smoked chicken salad w/ corn & pepper salad, 1/3 quesidilla ( went to Rib Crib for dinner)
applesauce w/ LF granola

I don't think I got in enough fluids yesterday. Must try to do better today!

Okay, I'm going to try this today and I'll be editing as the day goes on.. and truthfully...

 7:00 a.m. This morning.. Starbucks w/splenda and probably 2 oz of half and half.. but nothing else tastes good!!

9:10 a.m. Now home, 2 eggs w/cheese and onion in an omelette and probably an oz or two of smoked salmon.

11:47 Just back from $4.  Tall iced coffee.. and yes.. the half and half.

Hi Hon.....

Suggestion:  2 oz 1/2 & 1/2 is about 80 cals and 4 grams of fat. If you were to switch to a skinny latte, you'd be getting 0 grams of fat, 90 cals, BUT 12 grams of protein! It's the reason I drink so many of the damn things.

Well, I'll try that.

in the famous words of Yoda; " do not try, do"

Good Morning

I'm doing better with fluids, and I'm getting in most of my MOV's and calcium, but gotta work on those.  Better than a few months ago.  I ran out of vitamins and never missed them.  Probably why my iron stores were down.

Yesterday was  a little difficult eating-wise.  I went to yard sales with a friend and, after having breakfast at 7:30, didn't get to have lunch till after 3.  She didn't want to stop.  I kept reminding her that I wanted to eat, but she just kept saying "one more sale and we'll stop".  I ate the Fiber One bar in my purse about 11, and a cookie about 1pm, but by the time I got home, I wolfed down my food so fast that I had to stop and slow down and chew or would have lost it all.  I have to be more aggressive when I say I HAVE to eat....NOW!! 

B:  cottage cheese and watermelon
coffee
S:  FiberOne bar
S:  the dreaded cookie!
coffee
L:  tilapia and swiss chard sprinkled with a few chopped walnuts
     fruited orange gelatin dessert ff/sf
orangeade
D:  More tilapia and chard (I made a lot...)
S:  SkinnyCow chocolate truffle bar (100 cal)
orangeade
S:   the other damned cookie!!!

Since the two cookies were my only cheats in four days, I forgive myself.  And the cookies are now gone, since I only bought two of them.

I'm working, not very successfully, on replacing some of my fluids with plain old water.  Sigh....

Catch you tomorrow.

Sometimes when I go to Starbucks I'll buy one of their "treat size" peanut butter cookies. I don't know why they call them treat size, they're actually a decent sized, but I guess since we're so programmed to supersize everything, a realistically sized cookie could be construed as a treat.
One cookie is $.95. Pretty steep for one cookie, but it keeps me from buying more than one. I enjoy the one and move on.

My one 'go to" treat is sugar free Wherthers caramels. I think 5 of them are 35 calories, so I have no guilt what so ever when I have even 10 of them over the course of a day. It keeps me from wanting other things

Snack...10 almond crackers with RF swiss cheese
Lunch...1/2 c greek yogurt with 1/2 scoop SF, FF, carb free 
    protein powder, 1/2 c cheerios
Snack...later will probably be 1 sleeve graham crackers with 
    peanut butter

   left over quiche and some marinated fava beans
Snack...crackers and cheese
Snack...more crackers and cheese
Snack...IF I CAN FIT ANYMORE IN..SHEESH...
