Accountability - What did you eat, Memorial Day 5/28?

 I'm smiling at you Connie and hoping to rub off a little happy thoughts...Your game plan sounds very reasonable and well thought out, it takes a wise person to accept that going cold turkey may not be the best way to make a solution...Its okay to freak a little at the scale, I do, and I also tend to take a big swing the other way to overcompensate for inflated numbers...You've set a plan, I know you can stick too it ... Blasting those bad vibes away, today is a better day...Alesia

Let's just say it was a really bad bad day...     But today has been much better.   I'm just gonna wait until tomorrow to post because I might start banging my head against the table if I am forced to write down all the bad food I ate yesterday.   Kerri

 No,no,no head banging...We all have those days once in a while, just take ahold of the reins, pull it in and we'll read all about ya tomorrow...  Alesia

How do you eat that much.. i cant even get close to that.. =_( oh well..

I am freaking out right now.. i try an increase my calories and i gain weight.. i am up 5 pounds now.. so i go to the gym today and worked out for 3 hours.. i plan 3 hours tommorrow and the rest of the week the same.

I dont want to get into a roller coaster of weight gain. I know its that time of the month really soon and thats what is probably doing it.. but I just dont want to end up on a slippery slope i dont want to come back from...

some one slap me please.

B- protein shake 230 calories 35 pro
S- banana 100 cal 2 pro
L- topping off of 2 pieces of everything on it pizza.. not real sure about the count on that.. so I will say 300 cals and 20 protein.
D- chicken and cheese deli slices 200 calories 20 pro
S- 8 pretzels 100 cals 2 pro

totals for the day....930 calories and 85 protein..

well that was my day...

No slaps, here's a peck instead, you got to love yourself - it helps make it better... Carla, you know, sometimes I look at what I ate and say the same thing, it does seem like alot of food to me for someone with such a little pouchie to store it in - then I think about what I ate pre-surgery and realize it's really not that much...The dense protein like meat really fills me up quickly, like the pork tenderloin, started out with 4oz on my plate, gave one slice to one of the boys and then couldn't finish up another of the 4 I originally started with, thus ending with 2.5 oz for the meal...I still really chew up meat thoroughly or  from foamies and I think that also makes it a little easier to get a bit more in cause the texture is so much smaller... Don't really understand why you are seeing scale creep, from what I can see you are really not consuming very many cals and with your exercise you are definately burning all that up, have you spoken to a Nut? Are you on any meds that could have a weight gain side effect? I'm out here watching you, I know the tide is going to turn you way, its just a matter of figuring out how to navigate the waters... Alesia

hiya..well I hope I maintain cause Ive really enjoyed all this eating...I bet I gained tho...here it is; B- 1.5 serving of b-blast protein powder      1 cup milk      1 small banana S- shelled sunflower seeds L- 2 oz turkey meatloaf      instant mashed potatoes 25 grams      green beans 2 tbs S- banana      2 cups milk D- 1/4 chicken breast baked      1/2 small sweet potato      1tbs green beans       atkins protein bar S- 100 cal snk popcorn 80 oz water around  1373 cal   136 carbs   47 fat    112 protein     

What a great food & water day Sheila ...I think you will find that the Nut is right, you need this amount to maintain and you will not be experiencing any major weight gain for eating a few more cals...Just keep the choices healthy, maintence is within your grasp...  Alesia

Hi Sher, Can you come do some maintenance at my house, it seems like you are always working on some kind of beautification project, that is great ... Food today day sounds good and a downward trend on the scale always deserves a big ...Did you make a meatloaf or maybe meatballs for your lunch, ingredients kinda sound like it...I love meatloaf even though I can only consume a little now and I really miss eating the leftovers in sandwich style on a hoagie roll, for sure then I would get in like 2 bites so thats a write off... Thanks for reporting in...See ya tomorrow night... Alesia
