What are you eating/doing today? FRIIIIIIDAY!

 So far, for my weird breakfast, I've had 2 pieces of tilapia.  (I don't know why, but I had a major craving for fish)    Rosemary chicken on the horizon for dinner, and lunch is a crap shoot right now depending on what time I'm getting to it.  (possibly just an Atkins bar today :(    Just no time come the afternoon.

It was a short work week for me this week but still felt long!  Yesterday I spoiled myself, as it was my birthday.  So I celebrated by getting new furniture, sort of a collective celebration for 50 pounds lost, almost 1 year smoke free (it will be the reward for that!  bought with the money I saved) and my birthday present all rolled into one.  

I'm very excited and I hope it looks good in my room!

Today I have planned for food:
B - Cottage cheese 100 G (14 g P) and a tsp of sf raspberry jam
L - Two cheese sticks and 2 Pepperoni sticks and cucs (haven't figured out the protein there)
AS - Laughing cow cheese (2 pieces) and 4 pita bites (about 8 g protein there)
D - To be determined but I'm thinking veal parmigian (sp) 

Snack will depend on how my protein levels are, a protein drink if I am under 60 and if not probaby some sf jello maybe...for a treat

that's it for me

Nik, I am pretty much the same way. I would much rather text someone than talk to them. Even that I don't do a ton of.

I think this weekend I am going to go to the laundry mat. I have been working all week to catch up on laundry, but with 5 of us it just keeps reproducing its self. I usually do 11 loads a week and taking a week off.....Ugh. I have learned that procrastination just leads to more work for me.

BF: a coffee protein shake. Made with skim, vanilla protein powder and a tbs of flaxseed meal.

I don't know what the rest of the day holds. I do know that there will no meat in my day. No big fish fry that I used to do every Friday during Lent pre-op. Fish ATM doesn't seem appealing to me right now.

TGIF Everyone!

For Me:

Early: Coffee precooked bacon
B: hard boiled egg and greek yogurt with pb2
S: a few honey wheat pretzels and a cheese stick
L: deli turkey / 2 hardboiled eggs
D: may be eating out Chinese so a couple of chicken teryaki sticks

Another better day so far.

Bottle of water on the way to work.  One cup of hot lemon water (gets things rolling...)

B - 0% Fage, frozen cherries and splenda topped with Special K Protein cereal and ground flax.

Decaf  coffee with splenda and 5 tsp ff non dairy creamer (I'm tapering.  Used to be a lot more than that!).

I'm working on more water now.  I have one of those nifty insulated cups with the straw and it holds 24 ounces.  Halfway through my first one so far.

L - will be cucumber slices with hummus, deli turkey slices, a cheese stick.  Then maybe some grapes if I still have room to fill.

I have an apple, an orange, some protein powder, and a protein bar for emergency "hunger".

Still a much better day than Wednesday.  The need to feed my issues is still there but I seem to have regained a better grasp on it... it's still a struggle though.

I went to a musical last night and got home late.  After fixing up today's meals and washing up it was about 1245 before I went to bed.  AND THEN I was back at work this morning at 0615 am for training.  I have a 4pm phone conference today that I think I just might skip out on.  I missed yoga last night so I need to make it up... either by an extra hour by sunday (I already do three hours on the weekends) or maybe a run...

worked out this AM - man this Jillian Michaels thing is killin me....I didn't realize I was so out of shape.
B: vanilla peppermint hot protein drink
S: 8 peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets
L: Chipotle bowl (no rice) leftovers to be made into low carb tortilla pizza's some time this weekend
S: SF decaf mocha
D: mexican stuffed peppers (thanks eggface)
S: SF caramel latte decaf

I am totally getting into cooking at home - prior to my surgery all we did is eat out....and now thanks to Nik and Eggface I am having a blast cooking for my family!! They are loving it too!!!

Will you share how you make your vanilla peppermint hot protein please?

Sure thing it's really simple and I am addicted right now:
10 oz milk - (in Nik's fashion - I put 2 oz into a mug and microwave the other 8oz )
so in the mug with the 2oz I put 4 pumps of SF peppermint syrup and 1 scoop of favorite vanilla protein powder (whisk into a paste - no lumps) then add the hot milk stir to incorporate and enjoy!
I love this right now - it is simple but delicious.....like a hot shamrock shake.
Hope you like it!!

Sounds great!! Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!!!

 so far today I've had 

B - one egg mixed with a little fat free mayo
S - fat free chocolate mousse. 
L - ?   
D - ? 

I'm having trouble really eating much... still not hungry.  I force myself to eat most days. 

ugh..............

I'm also going to try working out with the Wii.  I am not able to do much because of my knee problems at the moment.
