What's On Your Monday Menu, RNYers?
Hi, I feel so stupid. I've been happy if my calories were 1300 but now see that to finish the race, I'm at 173 goal is 150, I shouldn't be eating so much. Thanks for sharing about eating crappy. I confess that while in Nashville there is fast food on every block. I've been obsessing over Krystal. I also have been grazing and not planning. I even had some really high calorie days. I am afraid I've stretched my RNY stomach and really feel like a loser. I had surgery 2-2-15 and have lost 85 pounds. I love the way I look but pretty saggy. I'm 66 and maybe been using that as an excuse. I did make food plans for the last 3 days and except for last night (I ate twizzlers) I've been good. But again my goals was too high. So, one day at a time and I have been doing online OA meetings and this website for support. My food plan for today is:
BF - Chai with skim milk - 150
S -Yogurt with raw oats with sweetner- 125
L - Wendys chili- 200
S - Greek lowfat yogurt - 125
D-Crockpot Pork with spinach - 200
S- Yogurt with raw oats with sweeter - 125
Total - 925
Its over 800 and I will try and limit one of the yogurts - Pray for me- Thanks
I have found the key is to plan plan and then plan some more. Plan my food and plan my exercise each and every day to make sure it gets done and is priority. I take it one choice at a time because when you look at it that way it is doable. Don't use age as an excuse either because I am 57 and was obese my whole life. I am at a normal weight for the first time ever so it CAN be done.
I noticed that your greek yogurt has 125 calories. Dannon light and fit greek has 80 calories and 12 grams of protein. I know 45 cslories isn't the world, but it would take you closer to under the 800 you want.
