Drank about 150 oz of fluids... good day over all.. like the numbers I put up for the day ' See you all tomorrow Carla

Well, so far so good? LOL. One day don't make a year yet. I really need to get some organization going on this food intake on days off. This week is going to be awful cuz we're back in court. Yesterday was a holiday and we went to see a movie. I've NEVER been able to resist theater popcorn. Good thing I only go once or twice a year.  My resolution for this year is to get a handle on "day off" eating.  Breakfast: Oat bran cereal and soy milk, coffee (just realized I forgot the blueberries, huh) Snack: Homemade protein bar Lunch: 4 oz shrimp, 4 whole grain crackers and 3 TBS chunky low fat peanut butter Snack: 3 cups theater popcorn..Butter, yes. Salt, yes. Estimated I ate half the small bag Dinner: Salmon Roulette, 4 oz  Dessert: Yogurt cup, 4 oz  Bedtime snack: 4 whole grain crackers (up late, 9:30) Totals (not too bad for me): Calories: 1693 Fat: 70 Carbs: 165 Protein: 100

That popcorn is hard to resist... you had a great day with food and made great choices.  A little popcorn twice a year is not a bad thing.. enjoy it. See ya tomorrow Carla

Aye Aye Matie.... Am aboard here !!! Tough New Years Eve as I didn't get any sleep just wasnt tired... So being up all night I drank lots of H2O and had a killer protein drink so those volumes will be higher than normal... 1 am Protein drink 59g protein (took 3 hours to finish) H2O 33ozs B= 2 eggs 2 cheese 28g protein S= Protein Bar 13g protein L= 3 cheese sticks 21g protein S= 3 triscuits & 2oz cheese 14g protein D= 1C cabbage      1/2 C black eyed peas      2 bites pork rib (gosh those veggies were great) Bedtime AchievOne 20g (Yeah bed time was before 8, I was finally sleepy) H20= 205 Protein = 155 Hope your day is fantastic !!! Waiting for a whopping storm for Thur - Sun... Button down the hatches.. Huggs Debbiie

Wow nice job captain.  that ship has got to be seting lower with all that H2O or the toilet was working overtime..lol.. great protein as well.. yes.. the rain she shall fall.. yikes.. get your rations ready and sail straight ahead. Carla

Things have been going pretty well with my plan.  Tuesday: sugar free, low fat yogurt with 1/8 cup grape nuts apple, 1 oz cheese South Beach pizza apple NutriSystem Macaroni and Beef Nutrisystem pretzels (these have 11 g. of protein!) So far so good.  I have recently been put back in the position of looking for a job, so I am around the house a lot and grazing is so tempting. Cheers! Barb

I am in the same boat with my two week vacation here and yes it is a struggle to not graze.  You look like you are doing a fine job though and are sailing right along.  Are you doing the nutrisystem program or was that something you got from the store.  Your menu sounds like an advertisement.. southbeach.. nutrisystem. lol... Keep up the good work. Carla

I guess it does, lol.  I eat a lot of convenience SB products because they are high in protein - the pepperoni pizza has 31 g. of protein, and I think about 32 carbs(whole-grain crust) minus 4 g. fiber, so they are pretty nutritious and perfect for what I need. As far as NS goes, I ordered a month's worth about a month and a half ago, because I had used it pre-WLS and I liked the food, and it is also very convenient.   Even the pretzels have 10-11 g. of protein.   I want to get these last 10 lbs off so now is the time!

Well, I tried to eat all the "naughty" foods before the New Year, but that didn't really work out since we were hardly at home anyway!  My goal is to eat them in moderation until their gone in another week or so.  Anywhoo, I think I did alright but FitDay is trippin with the nutritional info on my homemade chicken stir-fry and I haven't figured out just how to customize recipes yet.  Here goes:

B- 1 egg and 1 turkey sausage pattie

S-1c. 2% milk and slice of cinn/raisin bread w/ 1/2 pat of butter

L-2 sandwich steaks and slice of 2% cheese and applesauce cup

S-lite cheese stick and **** musketeers fun size bar

D-3/4c Chicken Veggie Stir-Fry and about half a cup of homemade brown fried rice

S-small banana

1302 cals, 67g fat, 16g fiber, 112g carbs, 69g protein 84oz plain water (which is good for me!)

I drained much of the fat off the steaks and only used 3T of veg oil in my whole dinner... but I didn't tinker with it after I had taken the time to put the info in there.  I'll also be switching to locarb 1% milk when I use up what I have.

That should help reduce the fat content number.  could use a little more protein but you did good over all.  Seems like you are doing good even with those pesky treats running around... Show them who is the captain and aim that ship. Carla
