Whatcha eating today VSGers? Tuesday, 5/16/2017

Today I've got my pre-op appointment with the plastic surgeon. I'm super excited and super nervous! But first, I'm going to go run for the first time in forever because I woke up not in agonizing pain from my kidney stone. I'm going to keep it easy and just go around the block (so about a mile) but I'm really eager to get out there. I've only got three weeks of exercise left before a 6 week break to heal :/

1: protein shake
2: protein bar probably - my appointment is at noon so it's a bit inconvenient for meals. If I'm not hungry, I might eat out after my appointment
3: leftover steak salad from last night!

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: RUNNING!!! and stretching

How about you?

I was starving yesterday. Like, couldn't stop thinking about food starving. It was 100% hormonal driven, no doubt about that. But, this was the first month it hit hard like that. I ended up adding in a 4th meal with 2oz of grilled chicken and that helped some. Otherwise, I just fought the urge to eat the whole day. Because of the 4th meal my calories were over 700 for one of only a few times since surgery. But, I got to 100g of protein for the first time ever too. I already can feel that today will be better. That's normally how it goes, hunger and then total disinterest in food for a couple days.

B: Dannon L&F w/ PB2 and Babybel (I need to run to the store to grab a yogurt because the one in my lunch bag had a hole in it!)

L: P3 Protein Pack, or maybe I'll grab a protein at the store since I'm going anyway.

D: Swai Fish (finally actually going to make this, we ended up having shrimp last night)

S: Premier Protein and I brought some jerky in case I needed the snack

E: 3 mile walk on lunch break

Did you have a big workout yesterday or the day before? Sometimes that triggers an extra hungry day for me.

Last week was pretty insane work outs Tuesday - Saturday. I worked with my trainer and also introduced some running. Then I had two rest days. But, I started my period yesterday and that was it. Today is much, much better. I'm not a bottomless pit anymore! Yay!

I do notice that I'll be more hungry after my days with the trainer but it's nothing like yesterday was!

Is it weird that i chew forbidden food and spit it out just to taste it..?

Not a good idea, actually. It points to an unhealthy relationship with food in my opinion - a little bit like "bulimia lite". This would be a great thing to work with a therapist on.

Good luck at the appointment today Gwen! And glad to hear the pain is better. It's another nice day here today so taking advantage of it.

B: 2 eggs hardboiled, coffee

L: 4 oz grilled chicken

D: taco Casserole

S: protein bar

E: walking

W&V

Oh enjoy the run -- stretching after a run is just the best. :)

I'm feeling good again today. Gotta roll with it!

B - fit frappe & coffee

L - salad w/ chicken & orange

S - yogurt parfait & protein shake

D - leftover thai

S - popcorn

E - crossfit

Good morning, everyone! Beautiful here in KC, so hoping I get some flower tending done, once I get off of work. My petunias need some plucking! :)

B: Bananas & Cream Premier in cup of coffee....this is delicious and I just discovered last week, since I have been staying away from all caffeine until then. I've created a coffee monster in me again....oh MY!

L: 3 oz lean brisket (my hubby made for Mom's Day and it was delicious) and 2 deviled eggs

D: Turkey and Veggie Stuffed Red Pepper/1/2 cup strawberry cottage cheese salad

Water: was terrible with intake yesterday and I paid the price this morning by seeing a TWO POUND gain. :( I'll get 80 oz in today, even if i****er logs me! :)

Vites: yep, every 2 hours with the supplements

Exercise: bound and determined to move my 30 minute of walking a day up to 45 minutes.

Vitamins every 2 hours? I am having surgery June 1st but my dietician just advised that I am to continue to take a daily multivitamin. Is there a reason you have to take so many?
