Whatcha eating today? Tuesday, 11/15/2016
I did well yesterday. I stuck to the plan and the scale moved down. And, I'm amazed at how much less I eat when I'm just eating protein. It is a hard day because I'm at school and they always have great food in our kitchen where I spend 1.5 hours a day with my student. I just have to remind myself that my goal is more important than the quick satisfaction of a yummy piece of cinnamon toast.
B: homemade jerky, cheese and some nuts
S: Dannon light and fit Greek yogurt with homemade granola
L: ham and baby bel cheese
S: nuts on the drive home
D: ham and a couple bites of cheesy potatoes
V: done!
W: doing good
E: hopefully carrying in a weeks worth of firewood in the house followed by stacking a couple cords of wood in the barn. We'll see how early I can get home to get it done.
I'm so glad you are back, Gwen. I missed you.
Breakfast - salmon
Lunch - buffalo chicken spaghetti squash
Dinner - chicken salad over spiralized cucumber with spicy peanut sauce. - yum. This is so good.
snack - left-overs from one of the meals from last week.
I'm going to make pulled pork, cheeseburger pie, and more salmon today. Eating healthy can be such a pleasure.
Have a nice day, everyone. Keep the faith. The world needs our good energy now more than ever.
blessings,
Carol

My first day of seeing clients at a new place today. It's weird. I'm like a grown up. It is very humbling to see clients for me. It reminds me of my own struggles and depression, and it also makes me very grateful for the life that surgery has enabled me to live. My education is worthwhile if I can help other people.
However! I also forgot to bring my lunch and dinner because I was terrified to see new clients! My work day is from 9a - 10p, and I get home at eleven. I thoughtfully packed it and left it on my counter at home. Having said that, I did have my handy-dandy protein shake this morning. The miracle is that I haven't been obsessed with food all day. I have been able to focus on my clients without worry.
Meal #1-2: protein shake split in 1/2
Meal #3: Probably breakfast for dinner - good old fashioned eggs and bacon. Normally I don't eat this late, however, I often overeat if I skip more than 1-2 meals, so I need to make sure I don't overeat tomorrow morning. I'll add some protein powder so I hit at least 60g today.
Yay for unintentional fasting? I guess.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
