What's on your Wednesday menu?

I'm Facebook friends with her, too...but she doesn't post too often (either that, or she just doesn't show up on my newsfeed that often). She occasionally comments on some of my posts, though. She's doing fine, as far as I know. I miss some of these folks!

Celebrate you anytime that works for what you want to do!

Good morning. Rough night again. My hip is killing me for unknown reasons and woke me up all night. Roger had not activated his Inspire implant and I was ready to scream out loud. I did not. I got up before the sun and sat in the jacuzzi and watched the sky wake up. I can't see the sunrise from there, but the sky itself was full of pretty colors. Hoping the jacuzzi and a forced rest day help with the hip pain. Add a shower to all that and I've got myself a much better frame of mind going.

Accountability yesterday. Good on all fronts. Still pushing protein. Still really struggling to get to my number. But focusing on that reduces the carbs and veggies I eat. 524 move calories, 98 minutes of exercise and 10,330 steps.

QoTD: I eat anything I want. I am just grateful that I rarely want processed carbs. I will take a small serving of things and know I can go back for more if I truly want it. I don't often want more. But, I still don't allow Doritos in the house and if the is caramel corn it feels like it's in the cabinet calling my name. So I try to limit that. Cakes, cookies, ice cream, have no draw for me.

Bites today

B: egg/cheese/carnitas omelet

L: leftover carne asada and veggies

D: taco stuffed sunshine squash

3ish: yogurt with mix in or beef jerky

9ish: either carnitas meat or what ever I don't have at 3

Peace!

So I take it the aspire is still working well when it's actually on? I'm sorry you're having hip pain, that is no fun. Enjoy your rest day!

That implant works like a champ. He still snores occasionally, but we've gone from a freight train roaring past my head to buzz. And he doesn't wake up every few minutes to gasp air. He swears he feels no different, but most days I feel wonderful with a good night's sleep!

Try a heating pad in bed. It's been my saving grace for hip pains.

Good morning all and Happy humpest Day,

My hair got butchered. I tried a new haircut place since I don't have a barber in my neighborhood. The barber said he has been cutting hair for 15 years. He gave me a great straight edge shave. I felt him shaving my mustache into a pencil mustache and it was too late to stop him. Also, I got home and my hair is different lengths on the top and doesn't look good. I'm hoping to return to that barber shop to right the ship. After that, I'll try another barber shop. I'm pretty particular about my hair.

QOTD- Gummi worms, peaches, watermelon, etc. I can't portion and eat the whole bag. I can't have ice cream bars in the house. I shouldn't have a bag of chocolate in the house.

Steps 8775

B: 1/2 bagel lox, tangerine, Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt, energy drink

L: sushi. Huge slabs of nigiri.

D: leftovers.

Keep on rocking in the free world.

G'morning all!

Late to the party! Yma, our tracks are very similar. Don't you hate it when work interferes with your online social life? I have been keeping weird work hours. I'm up till late at night, or I wake up at 1:00 am and start working till 6:00 and then I crash in the middle of the day. Gotta get that back under control and get a more regular routine going. I guess that's one good thing about flex hours and not having to report to anybody live.

QOTD: I have to have strict rules for me otherwise I can easily go off tracks. Breads are a major no-no for me. I don't mind the carbs in the form of veggies or fruit. I also noticed since starting my protein icecream "regimen" I don't crave sweets as much and I can have a bag of mini Oreos in the pantry without going crazy. I even bought a small package of Biscoff to use as a mix in for my snickerdoodle icecream, and I have been good at using two cookies at a time instead of scarfing down the whole package. So my icecream obsession has become some sort of guardrail for my other binges. I'm sure to anybody else my way of eating looks weird but to me this is heaven, and just proof that a cookie cutter diet doesn't work for everybody and we are all different.

My meals yesterday:

• Coffee
• Chicken meatballs, handful of cherry tomatoes
• L&F yogurt (pumpkin pie****d pumpkin protein coffee
• Protein icecream - brownie batter
• E: strength training

Happy hump day!

Absolutely! You have to do what works for you!!

Work does interfere with life way too much!!

It was long before Creami but I did have an ice cream maker and had protein ice cream several times a day for years after my surgery. I also made high protein baked goods. Sometimes lunch was protein ice cream with protein cookies.
