What are you eating/doing today? Tuesday!
I have decided to play even though I have not had my surgery yet. I hope no one minds. I know my diet has to improve. Here is what I had/having so far.
B- 2 eggs and 1 chicken sausage patty and caffiene free hot tea
S- Banana
L- Ok - not so good here- I am having an Italian sandwich from Paneras.
D- Not sure yet but it will be healthy. I promise

Yeah to the University for closing the week between Christmas and New Years...that means, I get to paint...my bedroom first (a lovely mushroomy taupe color with white trim) and then my guest room (it will be a cinnamon spice color). Do you sense a food color palette? Oh and I went to the gym this morning and did a restorative yoga session.
B: egg/turkey sauage/honeydew melon
L: Veggie Burger/edamame/refried beans
S: going to try a nice salted caramel protein hot chocolate (thanks to Bariatric Foodie's recipe!)
D: Southwestern Chicken Barley Stew - tossed salad
S: Cup O'Tea with a Ghiradelli 72% dark chocolate square

I returned to the office today for the first time since my surgery just over 2 weeks ago. It's nice being around more people again!!
Breakfast (already ate):
1/3 of a piece of spinach/artichoke quiche from Starbucks Cafe
Lunch (eating now):
about 1/2 cup chicken florentine soup (eating around the noodles since I haven't had them since surgery and not sure how I'll handle them!)
Dinner will be:
3-4oz tilapia mashed up with about 1/2 tsp mashed potato
Possible snacks that I brought to work in case I get hungry:
imitation crab meat (can usually eat 1.5 sticks, not quite a full serving)
3oz fat free refried beans w/guacamole
I will also drink 2 protein drinks at 30g protein each (Premier Protein).

Okay, I'm in with everyone on getting back on track. Mine isn't with food, if anything I haven't been eating ENOUGH of it.
I also haven't been drinking much (any?) water since I was off work last Wednesday. Nor have I been taking my vitamins as usual. I do horrible once I get off my schedule. When I'm at work they sit in the pill container in front of me on my desk and I just take them. Same with my water. I'm only on bottle number 3 right now (at almost 1pm), but that's 3 more than yesterday. :(
Food:
Breakfast - skipped my usual and just had coffee with soy and Splenda. And a bottle of water. I wanted to get the water in and drink the coffee before it got cold. By then it was too close to lunch to eat the yogurt/cherries/Special K mixture.
A second bottle of water.
Lunch - 5 Foster Farms turkey meatballs, cucumber slices with jalapeno ranch dipping sauce, and a pear.
Working on bottle number 3 now, will fini**** after I wait my appropriate half hour (probably an hour for this meal) after eating.
Dinner will probably be a grilled protein - most likely chicken - and a veggie side.
I need to get a protein supplement in there too. Maybe a drink on the ride home today.
My exercise has slipped. I've gone from 4 yoga classes a week to two, and I haven't been to the gym in way too long to run or lift weights. I love how I feel when I do that so I'm not sure why I ever let myself make excuses not to go. Back at it ASAP, now that I can't use Christmas shopping or carting my daughter around as an excuse. She was rearended about 6 weeks ago, but we got her a new car a couple days before Christmas with the insurance settlement (and then some!). So I have no excuses at all - I just need to do it!

Since 2008 my team has raised over $42,000 to fight breast cancer.

S: 2 oz yogurt
L: 1.5 oz of tuna with 1/2 tsp of light mayo

I'll also try to get another 4oz of protein shake or isopure in.
