What's on your menu, Monday?

congrats on the appt!

Let us know what the Dr. says about the leg rash.  I was actually thinking about that this weekend and was hoping it had cleared up.

I hope your back feels better soon!

I made the gigantic mistake of trying yogurt again today. My menu is shot while my pouch figures out how long it is going to be snarky.

B-mini spinach,egg,bacon,cheese quiche no crust

S1-the yogurt of doom

Everything else today--?  

I hope your pouch gets over it quickly!  Damn that yogurt!!!

I am exited that you posted the low carb challenge.  I have been in Las Vegas for the past 5 days with my son, he had a Trap Shooting Event. Tons of fun, but the eating and carb consumption was not on track!!  

I had my surgery on October 30, 2013.  I got down to 115 pounds (which was a bit to thin).  I slowely started gaining, was up to 140.  I went into a bit of a panic!!  I decided that I needed to stop eating carbs and sugar.   Carby foods are just so easy sometimes, but not worth the weight gain!  So......before we left for Las Vegas I was down to 131, very happy, the low carbs and NO sugar is working.  We got home late last night, weighed myself this morning......135.2, not as bad I thought it was going to be (there was a Starbucks right at the bottom of the elevator in the hotel, most days I visited it twice).  

Today I am getting back on track.......don't go back to work unitl tomorrow.  Meal planning is a bit more difficult when I am not working, but I have started my day so far with a cup of coffee, no cream, 1 packet of splenda and 1 TBSP of Torani's sugar free caramel syrup.  It is acutally pretty good.

I look forward to more posts from everyone....... 

Welcome!  I haven't been to Las Vegas in a couple of years but I can guarantee I would gain more than 4 lbs in alcohol alone ;)
