Have a great one!

I am impressed by your protein being so high and your calories so low...considering it looks like a decent amount of food. My menus are so lame and uncreative. I need to get at least 100g protein per PS one month pre-op and one month post-op...honestly I have been having 2 protein drinks a day, most days to get there....

Thanks! Using eggbeaters helps on the calories with still packing a protein "punch". Also, using fairlife helps boost the protein too. I think you're doing awesome being Aj close out of your PS, way to go!

I use Fairlife as well... I don't really drink milk, except using it in protein drinks...and I like the bump of protein. Living alone I get bored of what I make...it is hard to not make having tons of leftovers...then I get sick of it. I won't freeze them either hate frozen leftovers.

Yeah, my hubby and daughter don't eat much of my stuff either. Too bad you don't like frozen leftovers. As you notice I do eat the same thing for breakfast pretty much everyday!

Oh, AV, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.  45 is very young.  I know how it goes, last year I lost 2 cousins (1 aged 40 and 1 aged 35) and a childhood friend that was my age.  My grandfather passed away as well, and all of those deaths were within a month of each other.  The two cousins, which were from the same side of the family) died within 4 days of each other.  It was a horrible time for our whole family.  My heart goes out to you, and I'll say a prayer that you find peace.  I am also an organ donor, and while the loss is hard, the organ donation is a bright spot, as he will be helping someone else live.

So, yesterday I was ravenously hungry all day.  I guess it was just one of those days.  so far I'm feeling good today, but I'm hoping for a small pouch day today so it won't be as miserable.

QOTD: I don't hate comic strips, but I was never really into them.  I guess if I had to pick my favorite, I'd pick B.C.  I always got a chuckle out of it.

I'm going out and picking up the new Star Wars movie on DVD and we'll be watching it tonight.  I'm allowing myself a small bag of popcorn with it.

Have a great day everyone!  My vacation is going well.  Tomorrow is the water park, I'm super excited about it, but I gotta shave my legs!

Have fun at the water park!  You get to wear that awesome new bathing suit, right?  I DREAD having to find a bathing suit.  I already bought some board shorts to cover my HORRIBLE saggy thigh/knee skin.  Just have to find a suit to go with it. 

I'm going to let my hubby take a picture of me in the suit, just for you guys.  I have actually slimmed a little since I bought it and I'm feeling pretty good about the way it fits right now.  I bought 2 suits, one that is skirted with a tankini top and the bikini. I'm wearing 1 on Thursday and 1 on Friday, hehe.  I'll get pics in both.

Awesome!

Whooo!
