Morning AV and welcome back after a nice day off. I have my 1 year appointment coming up in just under a month and I'm really dreading it. I wanted to be closer to my goal, but I've exceeded my doctors goal for me by a few pounds, so it's not horrible. I just really really want to be an overachiever. I am hoping to drop 5 pounds and get to 160 by them. My weight was 165.4 this morning, so no change since yesterday. but I had a good poop AFTER I weighed, so I think if I can push the fluids and stay on track with my menu today I should be able to lose some more this next month.

KQOTD: The day I quit my job I won prize at work. That is not a metaphor for leaving that soul sucking blackhole, but I did win a fancy water bottle and a grill set that I gave to my hubby. I will miss the random prizes that the company gave out for the healthy challenges they did throughout the year. One thing about that company, their HR department loves to keep people active and encourage healthy lifestyles and has no problem giving out prizes as incentives.

11.5 months since surgery

B: 2 eggs, 1oz low fat cheese and coffee with cream and sf coffeemate

L: greek salad with chicken and Skinny Girl dressing

D: grilled chicken and steamed cauliflower.

S: light cheese stick with 2oz of turkey deli meat and 3 cups air popped popcorn lightly salted.

I'm trying something new with my afternoon snack with the meat and cheese. I am finding having a yogurt mid afternoon just isn't cutting it. I logged the popcorn because I'm being realistic, lol. Better to work the cheats into my menu than add them ON TOP of a planned menu.

Have a great day everyone!

edited to fix my usage of then to than. Huge pet peeve and I didn't notice my mistake until I was reading my post. Gah, the horror!

such a good strategy! I do find that doing something to refocus my attention does help. Otherwise, I'll just fixate on the craving until I give in just to get the monkey off my back!

Hi menu peeps,

I'm enjoying my vacation in PEI. It's beautiful here and I could see moving here and spending the rest of my life here. And Qotd: this trip is being paid for by my mom. She takes me on lots of free trips. She asked me a couple years ago whether I wanted $50,000 from her estate or to continue to travel for the next few years. Duh, spend time with my mom and travel. My mom, sisters and I are having a great time and laughing hilariously a lot.

I haven't been planning my food because we are just stopping for food whenever and wherever. But there's tons of good protein so I've been making good choices.
