Gotcha! thanks. I think there are way less in the bars than the pudding or like sugar free candy.

Good morning all,

 

A mostly uneventful weekend for me.  Was a slug on Saturday since I couldn't sleep Friday night.  Took a nice nap Saturday afternoon and went to bed early.   Went clothes shopping with almost 15 yo and spent way too much money. 

Today is my 30th wedding anniversary.  I can't possibly be that old, but alas, I am.   We are not going out to celebrate because I'm not ready for going out to eat and it would be ridiculous to spend the money.  However, I'm planning for next year, I want to go away for our 31st. 

 

B:  Premier Protein Shake

L:  Veggie Burger (they make life easier)

D:  Chili (yes, I'm going to cook tonight, it's only happened a few times since surgery, thank goodness hubby can cook)

S:  Probably babybel light

Have a great day everyone.

I just had my 30th anniversary in January... and it does make you feel old.  I mean like even if you got married at 13 (like me...)  that still makes you 43!!!

Anyway, Happy Anniversary, and do something special... putting up with each other that long deserves some kind of recognition!

Brunch coffee egg whites and ham steak

S:Yogurt with some blueberries

D:Omelet from a diner

Have a great day.

No wind here today... if it gets too bad, head for that storm cellar!

Quest bars... you know when I was losing weight for my surgery, I loved them!They were filling, tasted great, etc. But since surgery, they are just so-so. Of course I can only eat 1/2 at a time now but they just don't taste as good. That whole "your tastes change after surgery" thing is true for me. I will be craving something; work out a way to have it and stay on track, and it never seems to be as good as I thought it would be. Plus I dump on sugar so I do avoid sugar at all costs, most of the time. And, sugar alcohols bother me if there are too many in an item. Russell Stover candy is just as bad as a Snickers to me. LOL, I say that but I haven't had a Snickers since surgery... I would be home bound for days if I did that! 

Milk and sugar alcohols are things I have to do in major moderation. 

My menu today:

B1: Tea and Stevia and Truvia baking blend (carbs no so bad then)

B2: 1 oz Pistachios 

L: 3 homemade baked meatballs (used ground turkey, 93/7 hamburger, and a little Jimmy Dean sausage, almond flour, egg and Parm cheese and spices... turned out good), a little Hunts 4 cheese sauce, roasted zucchini with a drizzle of evo

D: 3 oz. talapia

Snacks: blackberry pie greek yogurt, protein hot chocolate

Totals: Calories - 831, Protein - 79, Carbs - 48, Sugars - 24, Fats - 40

Everyone have a great day!!!

Good morning everyone.  I am trying to get this in quickly before my first meeting.  I am usually very late to the party, so trying to do better today.  Had a very nice weekend.  I was in Seattle at my friend's mother's memorial.  It was a beautiful celebration of life.  It was in my friend's back yard and the weather was spectacular - very unusual for early June.  I worked the bar, and it gave me a chance to visit with almost everyone. 

Back in Portland today, and it will be 93 degrees today.  Freaky weird for this time of year, but I will take it.  I need to do some heavy duty watering this evening, though.  My hanging flower baskets looked sad this morning. 

I have my Dad tonight, so my menu is not very complete.  It will probably be some sort of fish on the grill, but I need to get to Whole Foods after work and see what looks good.  Shrimp might be yummy.

Time since surgery:  Almost 7 months

B:  BBQ chicken salad

S:  Light and Fit Greek Yogurt - Cherry

L:  Bulgogi over lettuce (didn't have time to pack a lunch, so this is a pretty good choice from the deli in the building)

S:  Light String Cheese

D:  TBD

S: TBD

TOTALS:  Without dinner or evening snack - Calories 502, Carbs 23, Fat 21, Protein 51, Sugar 17

Have a great day everyone!
