Accountability - What did you eat, Thursday 3/29?

TGIF and Good Day to everyone joining me today in accountability... Thursday was a much better food day...Still marvel at the amount of food I'm eating, but if I log into fitday know that it really is just the average daily calories for someone who has had this surgery...So here goes, Thursdays food: B - 10 oz chocolate & banana protein frappachino S - 4 oz lf cottage cheese      3.5 oz sf jello L - 2-3 oz tri-tip roast       1/4 c green beans       sf apple muffin w / added fiber S - 3 chocolate dipped strawberries       2 prunes       1 protein ball D - 3/4 c thai seseme chicken noodle salad made with shiritake noodles ( tofu noodles, yummy          and very low cal and very low carb)       small slice sf oreo cheesecake PLUS - 99 oz water/crystal light and 10 oz hot tea

Oh, do I really have to?????????? Okay - here's my (horrendous) day yesterday: 8oz Black Coffee 4oz. lf cottage cheese 3 cherry tomatoes 3 veggie bites (MorningStar Farms) Here's where my day went south: Soft taco shell with 1 oz steak: black beans cheese  tomatoes onions Cilantro  add 1T sour cream  and 1T guacamole   and NUMEROUS chips Gum Drops - about 6 (and I don't even LIKE gum drops!)  DUMPED BADLY, so I DESERVED IT! 1 slice (thin crust) cheese pizza 96 oz. water   Oh my - I cannot even believe that I just admitted all of that PUBLICLY!  Yikes! 

I ought to smack you around for going to that yummy mexican restaurant - without me ...Seriously though, I don't think horrendous is really the right word, after all, I know I'm going out to dinner at least once a week and I'm not ordering salad or grilled chicken in every restaurant...As for the gumdrops, man if you're going to dump, well 'nough said, why dump at all, its so not enjoyable... Keep on workin' the groove, tomorrow will be a better day... Alesia

Hi  Alesia - I really appreciate your posts!  What are these 'protein balls' you keep referring to?

Hey thanks for joining in, will keep posting daily and look forward to seeing you here...Protein balls are a YUMMY way to get in protein...I often sub them for a meal since they are dense and 2 -3 are very satisfying...Also I really love peanut butter and these taste fantastic to me 1 cup any protein powder flavor ( I like chocolate best)( I use Elite) 1cup peanut butter 1 cup oatmeal ( not instant) 5 tbsp spenda zap the peanut butter in the micro to make workable, dump in other dry ingredients...mix it up with a spoon, until all the ingredients are wet... form into ball about the size of a walnut  hint : if you have problems with it being moist enought to form the balls sprinkle a little tap water over the mixture and mix in, continuing until you have the right texture to make the ball  ingredients stick together roll balls again in splenda or cocoa powder for a nice flavor dusting...put on a cookie sheet in the frig about 1 hour to allow balls to firm up for storage... Store in a baggy, bowl, tupperware, whatever in the frig... Can make a batch in about 20 minutes... usually get 24-28 balls stats : 113 cals, 7 protein,9 fat (darn pb tastes so good though), 5 carbs If you like this one, have another with a little variation that is good also...See you tomorrow, have a great food day...
