What are you doing/eating today? Monday!

I've got a dental cleaning in few.  Afterwards will run by the post office to mail the rest of my granddaughters graduation announcements.  It's hard to believe she's reached this milestone in her life.  Drank my protein drink for breakfast and will have a boiled egg for lunch.  I'm really tired today and don't want to think about grocery shopping for dinner.

Nik,
I am an orphan. Both parents died young. I am also depressed this time of year (Mother's Day). Try to make the most of your relationship with your father. I was not close to mine either, but after he was gone, same feelings. You have a lot going on right now. Stay strong.

I have issues with both Mother's Day and Father's Day -- Mother's Day b/c when I was 13, my 15 year old first cousin and neighbor committed suicide and they buried him on Mother's Day 1991. Father's Day b/c my daddy is no longer here AND my husband's dad passed on Father's Day 2006.

This should be my last day on the crutch -- pain in minimal!
Eats:
- Click and coconut milk
- letttuce, ground beef, cheese, ranch for lunch
- boiled eggs and string cheese
- bbq chicken and steamed broccoli for dinner

Moving on to more positive things.....  great weekend!  Well, not with food... but with activity.  I completed the "Dam Run"... a 4 miler... in 53 minutes.  Slow, but finished!  AND.... I bought a bike!  So more activity to come.

Food today:

So far, just coffee:

breakfast:  click w/milk
lunch:  nutrisystem veggie chili
dinner:  not 100% sure, I have a meeting tonight & promised a kiddo that I would do some bike lessons after work.  Maybe a veggie burger or something similar.

You will see a "geeky happy" post from me somewhere around the end of my first week in the new house about how WONDERFUL it is living right near the Y. AND my best friend has agreed to rejoin the Y (we went our separate ways because I lived so far away I wasn't getting there often). 

Congrats on the run! To me, that does not seem slow but ok...

I don't have plans for today, just kind of floating along on cloud nine because of the new guy :)

B: Peach Chobani
S: Cottage Cheese with Pineapple
L: Egg Salad with Wheat Thins
S: Tropical Medley fruit cup
D: Shredded Beef Tamale

I've been getting wicked leg cramps lately and I know it's because I've been slacking on my fluid intake by the end of the day. So, hoping to do better. I also want to try and get some Pilates in today.

 (((((((((((Hugs to you and your DD)))))))))))))  I know the feeling....

Bfkast: I made myself a protein pancake Delish ..(scoop of whey vanilla, egg white, add little bit of water, cinnamon and sweetener of choice ... beat well ... spray skillet and pour mixture ...one side ... turn to other side just like a regular pancake ... topped it with blueberries ... TO DIE FOR)

Lunch: I threw a salmon patty on the grill this morning ... wrapped it well and bought it for lunch ... my lunchbox it thermal so it should still be warm ... I would not want to leave fish smell in the microwave at work...

Dinner: potluck ... DH is on the stove for dinner ... hoping for an awesome surprise... 

It is a crazy Monday ... and now off until I can sign back on again...

Sorry you're feeling a little down. I remember now reading about your mom. The milestone dates are hard, but they get a little easier as time goes by. My dad died when he was 39. I still have my mom and I try hard not to complain about her. She can be difficult. But then after raising 5 kids almost on her own, I guess she has the right. LOL

Now for the food:
B1: CarbMaster banana cream yogurt and one skim moz stick
B2: Jimmy Dean Lite Canadian Bacon, Egg White and Cheese whole wheat English muffin
Lunch: Lean Cuisine Chicken Fettuchine
Snack: Skim moz stick
Supper: Not sure

Will try to get in a swim this evening...

Today is my 4 year anniversary from when I had RNY. I have lost track of how & what to eat.  Any tips?  I have about 20 lbs that I want to get off. I am at 150.6 this am - Want to be closer to 130.
