Good morning and happy Friday eve! Trying hard to make it to the weekend. I get so tired by the end of the week and I've been back to working my typical 12 hour days. The weekend can't come soon enough. AQOTD: I try to vary my exercise. I don't belong to a gym but take classes at various studios around town. I run, take cardio kickboxing, circuit weights, a cardio barre class, a class called Shift (which I love. It's on a spring loaded floor and the class utilizes light weights, resistance bands, and weighted balls. It's much more difficult than it sounds because of the spring floor. You have to engage your abs throughout the whole class). I just bought a groupon for a cycling studio that a friend goes to. She loves the workout and I wanted to add to my rotation. It's not far from work so I can hit a class on my way home. There's a 24hr fitness right across the street from my office and I think they offer a discount for employees in the adjacent buildings, but I don't know if I would go that often.
Food . . . ahhh food. I truly am getting concerned about the amount I can eat and I'm afraid of stretching out my newly formed frankenstomach (OMG, I sound like such a newbie . . . not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'm more than 2 years out!!!). I can get 3-3.2 oz of fish in no problem. I whole yogurt? No problem. 1/2 C of food?? No problem. I'll have to bring up my fears to my surgeon at my follow up. I'm still not used to being an RNY'er and afraid of messing everything up. My weight is still creeping down, so I don't think I'm eating enough to stall myself, but still . . . I hate the head games that accompany WLS!
Here's my plan:
B: Protein shake, skinny vanilla latte
L: Refried Beans, 1 tbs taco sauce, sprinkle of cheese and a tbs of greek yogurt for added protein
D: Lemon garlic salmon
S: Cottage Cheese, Light and fit and I'm meeting a friend after work, so probably an iced latte.
Totals: Cal: 745; Protein: 90g; Fat: 11g;Carbs: 70g (yikes . . . but I was out of options for lunch. On Saturday I get to advance my diet and can add in thin sliced lunch meat, chopped chicken thigh, etc.)
Have a great day, everyone!
