Whatcha eating today VSGers...Wednesday!!!

Did i tell you ive never tried egg plant....i just like lasagna, someone volunteered to cook it for me, so I said what the hell...If i dont like it, i'll have pumpkin pie for dinner.

Did I tell YOU I had never tried it either...gained 4lbs the next day, read about it and arthritis which is probably why I bloated etc etc.

Ms Shell, I am humping to get this week over!

B: choc peanut butter protein shake

S: greek yogurt with a few fresh blueberries and stevia

L: deli ham and swiss roll ups, stewed zucchini and tomatoes

D: Tuna

Water will have 11 glasses in before dinner! Trying to get that damn scale to move.

Vits yep

Day of rest today

Hump on girl hump on =)

This morning I hit 70 lbs, 190, I was thrilled, because I thought I was heading into a stall, but I recently changed my goal on MFP to up my protein and lower my carb, and (thanks Keith), the 100oz of water a day, it all helped. 

 

 B: Cinnamon Streusel tea with torani caramel SF syrup.. yummm 

    - RTD Chocolate Protein shake

L: 5 grilled shrimp (leftover from Sunday out - I got 3 meals from that one!

S: - I'm torn on this - want to ask a question - do you feel snacking is a good thing, my original plan from the doc, said NO SNACKING - eat only 3 meals per day.. what's everyone's thoughts on that?

D: Steak - there is never room for veggies yet.

V: 2 chewable mulit - done, B12 when I get home

Water: on track - 48oz so far

E: - I'm debating not going to the gym for my walking because I'm going Line Dancing tonight, usually I do both, I feel guilty not going to the gym, so I'm not sure yet, but I will be working out

I subscribed to eating every 3-4 hours and have read good research on it.  I know for ME I could go all day but I find around the 6 hour mark I'm THINKING way more about food and have a tendency to go off plan.  You have to sometimes find what works best for YOU.  Your doctor tells that to EVERY patient but everyone isn't the same.

Thanks Ms Shell!   I probably should've said, I have been snacking, but I was wondering if it was helping or hurting me.. it's so true that everyone is so different on this journey.  You're correct, I need to take it all in, and trial and error on what works for me and what doesn't.  I'm already finding certain things I know for sure:

1. I have to weigh myself daily

2. I can't do food first thing in the morning - I get in 32oz of water and then I eat, so it's usually around 10am

3. I can't do very cold fluid - has to be room temp or above

4. I have GOT to learn to master this SLOW down thing.. because I hate vomitting!

 

From what I've read you really should try to get some type of protein in within 1 hour of waking up.  Mine is my protein shake...it's just easy to sip with my water.

In time you will learn ALL that and more...just LISTEN to your body it will give you clues!!!

I do 3 meals a day and ONE snack.

I try to eat my meals 4-6 hours apart. and Sometimes I will split my snack up. For example if I am having 4 ounces of cottage cheese or my snack I may eat half the cottage cheese around noon and the other half later in the day.

I think its important to find what works best for YOU. for me having more of regimen and schedule works best and not eating more throughout the day. I stay on track better if I limit myself to 3 meals and one snack. If you do better the other day I say do that!
