Man Anita, I don't know if I can bail you out...My hubby is pretty understanding when I say I'm not eating something cause of the carbs so when he cooks something high carb and I say I'm skipping it he doesn't get insulted...Do you think you could do that also or would DH really be upset that you snubbed your nose at his mac-n-cheese and hotdogs...If he would get upset you might try snacking on something healthy right before he's ready to eat and then make out like you ate too much snacking so close to dinner time, so you're too full to have any mac-n-cheese or hotdogs right now or you might be sick from putting too much into the pouch ( possible escape hatch)... Anyway, my food choices today have been pretty bad also...I let myself off the hook on Thursday, cause I knew Memorial Day and my DH's birthday were coming this weekend - basically I told myself I knew I was going to end up eating some simple carbs and real sugar this weekend and decided not to let myself stress about that, but it has backfired somewhat, 'cause that kinda signaled me to go overboard in making bad choices...Can't say I'm going to be out of this boat until after dinner tonight so, Sunday, I'm making a fresh start and a new pledge to completely kick out the simple carbs and real sugar until my surgery date in mid June...I know I can do it, just got to set my mind to not allowing the  food demon to control my life... I'm taking my own words to heart...I am the Captain, I am the Captain, I am the Captain... Sorry, I think I went overboard about me...You too can regain control, I'm looking for a good post from both of us on Monday to show that we got back in control on Sunday...Stay with me girl  we can help each other keep it together...

Hi alesia, my hubby was fine with me not wanting mac and cheese. it was just box kind anyhow. i did have a hotdog..  he really dont understand about me not wanting all those carbs and calories.. i try to explain it.  yes like i told him i am trying to get healthy and eat right. i told him i am captain of this ship and i think he is like what.. lol.... he wanted hamgurger helper tonight............. duhhhhhhh pasta......................  so i bought a fake chicken patty from morning star. not to bad...  so no pasta for me... that was good. oh i am staying with you... you are so wonderful. i wish you lived here in elmira so you could help me in person. the other wls people here dont have time for me.. i hate that...  till tommorow.. night............... anita

What is a protien ball is it good???

there balls taste like a no bake cookie........ yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy .. oh yeah they are good.......... Protein Balls Recipe

The pb and oatmeal balls are VERY easy.

1 cup Peanut Butter (I used simply jif) 1 cup rolled oatmeal -- not the instant stuff 1 cup protein powder (I used half vanilla and half chocolate) 5 packets Splenda

Warm the peanut butter in microwave about 30-40 seconds -- it melts it and makes mixing in the other ingredients much easier. Add the oatmeal, protein powder, and Splenda and mix well. (If needed, you can add a little bit of water to make it easier to mix) Roll into walnut sized balls, refrigerate. Store in fridge in zip-lock baggies. This recipe makes 20-24 balls.

I figured them out for my Fitday food tracking cause I really like these alot, think that this is pretty close , its going to depend on how many you get in a batch, mine usually makes like 22 -25

113 cals 9 fat 5 carbs 7 protein

Hi Carla, Not a bad day at all as far as choices go, you always have such a short list, makes me do a double take on how much I eat (just my insecurities showing)...Was the dinner out nice?  I went out too, it was DH's b-day on Saturday and we went to a great northern italian restaurant in our area, scrumptuous scampi, UMMMM... See ya in the postings...Alesia
