I'm the football fan in my house, my husband indulges me, even though he's not really a sports kinda guy. I love college football but will watch pro games to see some of my favorite players in the pros. We usually stay home for Superbowl Sunday, neither of us really enjoy being out in crowds. We'd normally get a big take out order of wings from Hooters, but this year it'll be a regular day for me. Hubs might want wing's but I'll stick to my daily plan. I'm always up early, so unless it's my favorite team in the game, I go to bed before it's over. 

Menu planning today, so I can stay on track. I had a few too many sweet potato fries with my burger last night and felt stuffed afterwards, and I don't like that feeling anymore.  I don't eat the bread, but I had a few small bites of the bottom of the bun and it was delicious. :P Worse yet, I barely finished half of the burger.

Today:

Coffee: Regular coffee with creamer (60, 0)

Breakfast: Ham and cheese omelet (190, 15)         

Snack: Black forest Ham (120, 20)

Lunch: Wild Salmon (145, 18)

Oh, Lord have mercy.  I started to respond to this and got a good bit of it done and ended up accidentally closing out my internet browser and losing the whole thing.  Blah. This time I'm working in Word so I can keep from being a dork and losing my post.

Anyway, good morning darling DD2 and my menu crew.  I had a rough night last night, foodwise.  I've been doing very well with the new medication and during the day, I am spot on 100% able to avoid junk and stay on plan.  If anything, I am not really eating everything, since I skipped my yogurt yesterday afternoon that I had planned.  Last night I had a good dinner of 5oz of chicken breast with salsa and cheese, and I felt satisfied.  But later in the night I started getting that craving.  By your post, Daisy, I know you know what I'm talking about.  And I was to the point where I was frantic.  I ended up with a cup of nonfat plain greek yogurt with sugar free Torani syrup in it.  It was yummy, since I used the raspberry syrup, which is a little tart and add that to the tart greek yogurt.  I really love the way it tastes.  Anyway, even after I had that, AND one small glass of wine, I was still feeling ravenous.  I wasn't hungry, it was ALL in my head.  My hubby put my little one to bed and went to bed himself because he was flying out this morning and had to be leave the house at 4am.  So, here I was, watching My 600 Pound Life and feeling frantic for something to eat.  How could I sit there and watch a man struggling, and losing 200+ pounds, and I'm dying for some food (or the food is killing me, take your pick).  I ended up caving and going into the kitchen and making 2, that's right TWO, packets of OatFit Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal.  Each pack is 100 calories, so I added 200 extra calories and so many carbs to what would have been a decent day.  I ended up at 1217 Calories, 106 Protein 84 Carbs and 36 Fat.  I know in the grand scheme of things, having a 1200 calorie day at 18 months out isn't horrible, but I'm fighting that regain this winter and I need to be on my best behavior.  Good thing is that I have a therapy appointment tomorrow afternoon, so I'm going to talk to her about some strategies to stop the evening crazies. 

DD2QOTD:  I love NFL football.  I LIKE NCAA Football, but don't really have a team.  I do LOVE my Detroit Lions, and I love watching football in general.  My husband is a football freak.  He loves it, and has unfortunately had to cut back on his football consumption as the years have gone by because of our family commitments.  He's a great guy and I wish he could watch more of it.  Anyway, he is also a football purist and really wants to watch the game.  It's not like a social thing for him, and especially if it's a game he really cares about, he'd rather watch it at home without distraction than at a party where people are loud and he can't really pay attention.  So, even though our team is not in the Super Bowl this year (hahahahah, pipe dream there.  My poor Lions) hubby prefers to stay home and watch it in the peace and quiet. 

2 days shy of 18 months since surgery

B: 2 eggs, 1.5 ounces of ham, 1 ounce of shredded velveeta.  Coffee with sugar free coffeemate

L: 5oz of boneless chicken with salsa and ½ ounce of shredded Mexican blend cheese

Have a super, wonderful, fantastic day today.

When the Steelers are in the Superbowl, I have to stay home too... my friends don't understand I'm an AVID fan... I NEED to watch, yell, scream, and carry on directly in front of the TV where I don't miss a play!

I completely understand your hubs

Good morning!  I'm not really an emotional eater.  I'm more of a "depends on the weather" type girl.  If it's cold and dreary, I want comfort food...you know, the kind your mama would make.  When it's hot out, I want a steak....no wonder I'm not looking forward to six more weeks of winter!!!  When I'm sad, I sleep.   When I'm pissed/mad, I work, run, exercise.  When I'm happy, I work in the yard or paint a room in our house.  So, so far, I'm good at not emotional eating.  Now, if the weather will cooperate, I'll be having steak a lot.

Last night, I made campsite reservations for our Frio River trip in July.  I'm so ready for this!  And....I take great pride in having to buy a new bathing suit, but I am thinking I will wait until May or June in case I'm in a "heavy losing" streak. :)

QOTD: Very rare that we watch NFL.  We like college and high school football.  We love going to watch our alma mater's play six-man football.  If you've never seen a six-man game, you're truly missing out.  As for this Sunday, I think we are planning a trip to a nearby town to get some Goodwill shopping on.  I'm still wearing the same shirts that I was 80 pounds ago, and I'm tired of feeling like a slouch!

Scale still not moving....not down....not up.... :/

B: Oikos triple zero yogurt

S: salami, string cheese

L: refried beans, cheese, steak chunks, salsa

S: turkey, american cheese

D: Taco meat, maybe lettuce

V: On track

L: one coffee down, have some unsweet tea, Crystal Light flavored water after that

E: Went for a run this morning, don't know if I'll feel like more.  I'm still a little under the weather.

 

Have a great day, folks!

Good morning. Waiting to see the new NUT in my surgeon's group. This will be interesting. 

 

QOTD. I so dislike Tom Brady. Sorry but I'm going for the Falcons.  We are having a friend over since I'm still a social pariah.   I got so big that friends told my wife it made them sad to see me. So we seldomly get invited to parties over the last 4 years. I'm looking forward to that changing, but with new friends.  I plan on having a bag of protein chips, smoked pulled pork and maybe some smoked sausage. 

B yogurt, flax, PB2 and tbsp protein balls

L lunch meat and cheese

D sashimi salad, low fat Asian dressing

S jerky

Morning!

Been out of touch for a few days. Missed the accountability. I really need the accountability.  I am a  ANGRY, stress, emotional eater.  I need to get this under control.  I'm not as bad as I was, but not as good as I was either. I was so confident-thought I had it licked. Boy was I wrong.

Had an appointment at my clinic yesterday. I call it a "tune up"  but they are really pushing the carbs. I smiled and said ok, thanks. Appreciate it, YES I'll add in more carbs. But carbs are my problem. they are the devil for me.  I didn't mean a word I said to her. I felt bad, but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.

Day job-So busy. Non stop and I'm so annoyed by it lately.  I don't have kids, so I should be able to stay all night every night and not be upset about it. Sorry if this offends anyone but my time is just as important.  I like going to the gym in the evenings and I have a second job.  It's not kids but it's my life and I like it.  I resent the fact that my time is not as important as I don't have kids.  I shouldn't have to rationalize why I can't stay late.  I start at 7. If I leave by 5 it's a great day. My co-workers?  Come in late. 8:45 but have to leave by 3:30 because you know-daycare. It's the MGR's fault for letting it happen and not treating us all the same.  I shouldn't have to cancel my other job with less than an hours notice, that's not fair to my other employer and team mates, and not fair to me. Why isn't MY gym time important? Hell. If I want to go home ON TIME and veg on my couch why can't I?   GRR. Ok Rant over. Well-put on hold at lease. LOL Again, sorry if I've offended anyone. 

QOTD: Not a die hard fan. Forgot it was this weekend. OOPS. LOL   I am planning to stay home this weekend and CLEAN!  I have put it off too long and this weekend I'm off Saturday and Sunday! First time since Christmas I have 2 days off. SO EXCITED!  I may make some chili for the week. But that's a normal Sunday for me.

 

Menu:

Breakfast: Tea with Restorlax

Snack: Light and fit Greek yogurt with 1 TBLSP Holy Crap Cereal

Lunch: Work Potluck.  So I brought 3oz chicken, and if there is a veggie tray I'll pick off that.

Snack: IF I can grab a break it will be 2oz buffalo chicken with some celery

Supper: 3ox Steak with onions and Heinz 57 sauce.

Snack: MAYBE popcorn.  My friend wants to go to a movie. I've been neglecting him, so I said yes.  Which means popcorn...but just a few handfuls for me. Unless he wants nachos.  Then I'm off the hook!!  :)

 

Went to the gym this morning.  My evenings are not working out right now, so I got up at 3:45 and went to the gym for 4.  I may be asleep by 7 tonight. Perhaps a movie is not a good idea. HAHAHA.

 

Hope Everyone has a great day!
