Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday September 17, 2018

I am back! Our trip to Scotland, Ireland and Paris was great but I am truly exhausted. Part of it is normal exhaustion from such a long trip, jetlag (I've been up since 3:30 am), and some is mental exhaustion from taking care of DH who has Alzheimer's during the trip. He really regressed a lot so it was harder than having a stubborn toddler who has communication issues. Hopefully getting back to his usual routine will help.

I ate EVERYTHING on my trip, but not nearly as much as I would have in the past and I made good choices mostly. BUT back to clean eating! I'm actually looking forward to that. My skinny jeans still fit at the end of the trip but they do have stretch...

QOTD: If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep? This is a REALLY tough one for me! In order of use, they would be my email program, my web browser, and my calendar. But I need my camera, I need to see the photos, I need MyFitnessPal, and then there is Facebook... Clearly 3 would not suffice!

2 Years, 5.5 months post-op (maintaining below goal for 21.5 months)

Always lots of coffee... (I am loving my own coffee this morning after having various other forms on our trip and often not enough of it. Paris had the best though).

B: eggs, cottage cheese and Canadian bacon

L: Chicken

D: Shrimp

S: meat stick

Liz, welcome back! I am so happy you enjoyed your trip, but I worried about how tired you would be, especially while caring for your husband. Big changes in scenery like that have such an impact, but I know you know that better than anyone. I hope everything can go back to normal for you both now that he's back home. You will have to show us pictures from your trip if you took any!

QOTD: I would have to keep netflix, fitbit, myfitnesspal!

Oh yeah, Netflix too. I watched that in Europe as well!

Liz, glad you are back safely. You'll BOTH settle into a routine and things will normalize as much as they can. But well done, girl! I don't fly, so always envy those who do.

QOTD: If you had to delete all but 3 apps from your smartphone, which ones would you keep Message (my kids all text me daily) - MyPlate (accountability) and Podcast (love podcasts)

Coffee with protein

Breakfast: haven't got a clue

This is one of those days where I feel all discombobulated. I am NOT hungry. I did not "go" for 2 days, and then had a ridiculous go this morning. Probably stress related to the hurricane anticipation and rain rain rain.

Dinner: I am making shredded chicken/apple sausage jambalaya, with red quinoa

Going to sort of wing the rest of the day as stomach is in high state of invariableness :)

I get like this more often than I would like. Stress makes me not want to eat. I end up just doing shakes and/or protein bars for meals so at least I get the protein in me.

And I forgot the messaging! My kids txt all the time too.

But stress still makes me want to eat.

Welcome back! Glad you had a good trip. I'm jealous, lol. I'm heading off today to a 3 days work off-site in downtown Boston. We are doing all kinds of team bonding/educational stuff and some fancy dinners! Also riding the duck boats.

QOTD: Text, facebook, weather - Strange choices, but I check the weather all the time, lol. I figure I could carry a camera and i prefer the web on the laptop.

B: idk, nothing here!

L: going out with my old boss who just started a new job...

D: salmon - this is signed up for already!

I'm the same, re: weather. Gotta know how to dress me and the monkeys! Gotta know if it's too hot to walk at lunch! I love the app Weather Underground. Which one do you use?

IDK, it came preloaded, lol
