Tuesday - What are you doing/eating today?
Well, well, well. The Nikster might have to put a check in the win colum. My low weight after surgery was 172. My highest recorded weight after surgery was 205. As of this morning I am at 190!!! I decided to hop on the balance board after I tried three pairs of pants on and they all hoola hooped around my waist.
So what's significant to me about this is...well yes, yay for me! BUT...my mindset toward food has changed a lot since I was a new post-op. I focus in on making healthy choices and eating well balanced meals. So YES I eat starches (mainly bread...but usually only a serving a day as that's all my pouch lets me get away with). And YES I have dessert. Quite often in fact, although it's almost always sugar-free. And YES there is even room for SOME peanut butter in my plan (although I try not to go bonkers). The wild card, for me, is exercise and, specifically, strength training. My downward stroll seems to have picked up when I started going to Body Pump twice a week again.
It's still a bit early to be claiming victory, but I am encouraged!
S'anway. Today, I went to Body Pump. It was CROWDED. Lordy! But it was a good class. Now I'm at work. After work the girls and I are going to do some needed chores around the house. It's raining so there isn't much else to do.
Eats:
1. 1/4 c. cottage cheese w/ NSA peach butter before Body Pump
2. An Egg McMuffin
3. Taco Egg Casserole with an apple
4. An office-made NSA mocha
5. I didn't eat my pork chop last night so I may eat it tonight with a scrambled egg (I can eat anything with a scrambled egg!)
6. If I need it, a Vanilla Latte Click made with milk and with sf Cinnamon Dolce syrup
Have a great day everyone!

You know what cured Spongebob of the suds...

When Patrick convinces SpongeBob that doctors are harbingers of torture and outdated magazines, SpongeBob allows "Doctor" Patrick to practice on him. The inane treatments (such as making foot sandwiches and congesting his ostia with corks). When Sandy arrives she takes SpongeBob to a real doctor, who prescribes the "sponge treatment", which is performed by a live human hand named Hans. This involves being rinsed with soap and used to scrub various objects and people. The treatment cures SpongeBob completely, and he even receives a lollypop. Jealous, Patrick requests the sponge treatment as well, but unlike SpongeBob's treatment he gets an aching treatment for starfishes.

It is TUESday right?
I've got "Cooper cooties" (my youngest brought home a wicked cold). So I've got this weird not really wanting to eat but feeling hungry thing going on .
I had an egg with 2 whites scrambled this morning with a little onion and green pepper. I'm not sure what else is up today. The only thing that sounds tasty on this rainy, yucky day is chicken and dumplings and I'm not going there!
No exercise on the books for me today, just going to try to make it through the day before I curl up in bed with a cup of hot tea and heavy, heavy doses of Nyquil.

Congrats on the number -- whoo hoo!! My eight weeks of total refocus taught me a lot about my choices and brought me to reality real quick. Now that I'm dealing with a breakout of 14 plantar warts (yes, 14), activity is much more limited and nutrition is key.
Blah.
pouring the rain here today - 30 minutes on the bike in the cardio theater watching Soul Surfer.
- skim and mint cookie
- Jimmy Dean Delight Ham bowl, cheese wedge
- Power crunch
- turkey burger on wheat bun, baked chips

Be happy.
We seem to rocking the weight loss world (notice the we). I hopped on the scale this a.m. totally expecting stagnation, but lordy I was down over two pounds since the last time I weighed. Something is going very good! Smiles to all of us who are walking the walk and pumping the iron!
B: kashi go lean/turkey sausage/1/4 cup milk
L: taco casserole/cukes/pluot
S: Pure Protein Bar
D: ham steak/salad/brown rice
S: cheese crackers with cheese
Did an hour of pilates last night plus weights plus 3 miles walking. Was a great, great workout day. Today I've got yoga. And tomorrow it will be a long run during lunch. I'm feeling like the poster child for a Life is Good T-Shirt!

Whew. Been eating like I can't get enough these past few days, but am trying to have a little compassion for myself because that always seems to happen this time of month (even though I don't have a period).
My husband and I took a mental health day yesterday. Neither of us went into the office, but we did work from home. It was nice to just have coffee together and get some work done with the dog snoozing at our feet.
I had a very good 4 mile run this morning. Today I will buy a new box of kashi bars and get back to eating healthy snacks instead of homemade cinnamon swirl bread and apple cake.
Breakfast: Coffee
Lunch: Grilled chicken or roast turkey with vegetables
Snack: Kashi protein and fiber bar
Dinner: Up in the air. Maybe a rotisserie chicken and some broccoli. If we're tired when we get home from parents' house I'll make myself a small fritatta.
Snack: Fruit, yogurt, and granola or high protein hot cereal.
Have a good Tuesday all!
