I will eat pumpkin seeds, but they are not my first choice. I did roast a batch from our pumpkins we carved this year.

Good Morning! I totally love your story-made me totally smile (even more so than my red Starbucks cup). Weekend was...well I survived my 1/2 marathon. My goal was to be under 3 1/2 hours (I know SLOW) but I made it in 2:55. I must say it was pretty awesome and other then the gnarly blister I have (going to be sporting open back tennis shoes for a few days even at work) I feel great! I did a good mix of walk/jog and really paced myself well as 10k was 13:31 pace and the full was 13:32 pace (if I do my math right, I averaged about 4.5 miles per hour?). I will post a pic of me on Friday but today you will get a pic of the bling I bought for my shoes!

Time since surgery: 14 months

Have a great one!

YAY!!! I'm so proud of you! That is awesome! I thought of you yesterday and wished I was out there with you. LOVE the shoe bling! Did you get that at the Expo?

Awww, thanks!! I did get them at the expo, I almost got to my car and then went back in and got them :)

GREAT JOB with the half marathon!!!! You should be so proud

Those are awesome AV! Love Macy's clearance. Wore my leather high black boots yesterday for the first time, love them. (From Nordstrom Rack)

Getting back on track from being away. I posted on the main board about my experience with getting my body fat tested... go check it out.

Body fat testing

S: power crunch bar

L: Panera with friend or chili at home

S: yogurt

D: veggie burger with cheese and egg ala AV

Starting 21 day fix again

The link didnt work! What is the main board? The main RNY board? Or something else! I want to read your post!

ETA: Nevermind, I found it! I am looking to see if anywhere near me does this! I doubt it, but its work a look.

Just thought I needed to add that I gave the baby a Kitkat and he took one small bite, then spit it out and said yuck. Of course, mama ate that Kitkat and the three others that were in his bucket.

Thank goodness he had no stamina for trick or treating, we don't have a ton in the house.

Hey, everyone!!!! I have been away for a long, long while! Work has just been slamming and this was one of the things that I tried to do without but it is NOT working! I have missed this thread immensely and I need it! So, work can just deal with it! LOL

So, while I have been gone... I have been okay but I have really been eating too many carbs... have to rein it in! My weight has been yo-yoing being the same 3-5 lbs and that has driven me crazy... and I really relate that back to the carb situation in my life. Oh, well... onward!

My menu today:

B: Chocolate premier protein drink and tea with truvia.

L: 2.5 oz of chuck roast and 1/2 cup green beans

D: Quality Foods - Stuffed Flounder filet... new love... it's stuffed with spinach, shrimp, artichoke and some type of breading... has 18 carbs but SO worth it.

S: (throughout the day): Protein Pumpkin Bread sans protein powder (note to self... don't bake right before bed, you are too tired)... this also has way too many carbs and I counted a whole mini loaf but can only eat 1/2 at a time so..., 1 oz of cashews, .85 oz of Old Wisconsin turkey bites.

Totals: Calories - 961 (geesh), Carbs - 62 (see, why I need to be accountable), Protein - 80, Fats - 44, Sugar - 16

No exercise today (big problem... help me get in gear).... it is raining cats and dogs and I am going to be working until around 8 tonight.

Pumpkins seeds - I have never eaten them... that I remember and certainly not since surgery! I will have to try!!! Kristen... your roasted ones sound great!

I really missed everyone... hope you have a great day!!

welcome back!
