What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?

Pre-surgery Aleve was my go-to drug.  I haven't taken even one since surgery.  I had a feeling that only an anti-inflamatory was going to help this pain.  I was right.  I DO NOT plan to make this occasional, I would like to keep it "rarely".  But you are right, all terms are subjective.

The head game of losing weight is SO HARD!!!  ugh  I have been so stressed about our move that I have had SO MUCH head hunger.  Most of the time I am ok, and don't give in.  But this past weekend was scary for me!!  ugh

8 Months since surgery

B: 3/4c 1% milk, 1 scoop syntrax milk chocolate

L: 3/4c homemade chili, 1oz RF shredded cheddar

D: 1.5oz chicken parm, breading made with pork rinds (We'll see how this turns out), 2 tbsp marinara, 1oz RF shredded mozz cheese

Totals: Cals: 862  Protein: 95  Carbs: 42  Fat: 34

I had a really similar experience last night. I was determined to find something "bad for me". I literally couldn't find anything in the house except for plain popcorn (no butter, no flavoring). I ate some, realized I wasn't satisfied and pretty much slapped myself across the face. I can't let the stress of the new job and crazy committing hours affect me like this. So wrong!

Back on the wagon...

B: almonds and babybell cheese

S: Mr Cheese Os 

L: Fage Cherry Greek

S: Sargento "balanced break" (cheese, peanuts and raisins)

D: Mango Chicken

Exercise

Um...I'm really sucking at this. I'm leaving the house at 5:40am and getting home at 7pm-ish. So tired. No motivation. Gotta figure it out.

Do not beat yourself up Kristen, you've done it, it's over, you've owned it.  Now begin again.   You've come so far to let one night get the best of you.

Good morning,

So the scale moved 1/2 lb today, hooray!  Going to try to keep low carb today and every day for a while, too many carbs and not enough protein yesterday.

Time since surgery 7+ months

B:  Jay Robb Protein Shake w/1% milk

L:  2.5 oz pork tenderloin w/ soy vey teriyaki sauce (1 tsp), babybel

D:  Grilled Chicken Breast, broccoli

S:  Yasso bar - clementine

Cals: 735  Carbs: 49   Protein:  107  Fat: 21

I love clementines.  Love them. 

And I just logged it in MFP (to the best of my ability) and dinner and my binge together was 825 calories.  El.  Oh.  El.  and Oh.  Em.  Gee.  And the funniest part is that when I was eating that stupid (delicious) pannetone, I knew I was putting the hurt on myself but I couldn't (wouldn't) stop. 

To a new day!

I think we all have been there. Our brain can't be changed overnight. It is one meal at a time. I know there are somethings I can not have in the house. 

If my kids want something they have to hide it from me. 

AV, we are imperfect humans. If we were perfect all of the time we wouldn't need these message boards, and I know I NEED this place to keep me focused and to help reset when I F up.  I had about a cup of microwave popcorn last night and I was eyeballing the bag that my husband was eating. I thought about wrestling it from his hands, but it would have been a big ole fight since it seemed like he was in a carb craving too.  He tested his blood sugar to see if he could snack more.  I'm waiting until I hit goal weight and then I'm going to start bugging him about having surgery.  His diabetes has been an issue for years and he's stuggling to get the numbers down.  Once he gets the A1C back that they drew this week, I'll know whether or not I need to get on him. I won't nag, but drop subtle hints here and there.

I've been on my doxycycline for about 5 days and my skin is starting to mellow out.  It is probably the combination of the meds and the fact that I miscalculated and sharkweek arrived a week earlier than I anticipated.  I need to track that more effectively. There are apps for that, right?

I'm feeling really great.  Physically, I am feeling better than I have in a long time, and mentally I'm feeling better.  I think that the last week was rough because I had PMS and didn't realize it. I'm feeling sooo much better.

Here's my plan for the day.

4 months post op

B: 1oz Chicken Jerky (no dairy with my antibiotics sucks) Coffee with non-dairy creamer 

L: romain, radishes, cucumbers, shrimp and skinny girl salad dressing

D: italian ricotta bake with 2oz of ground beef. (noodless lasagna)

S: Light and Fit yogurt, Premier Protien  

Totals: Cal 717 Protein 76 Carb 45 Fat 27

have a wonderful day, and thank you all for being here for support.  You guys rock.

Glad you're feeling better!  For my "invoice" tracking I use P Tracker lite on my phone. Have a great day.
