Needed to drink more but the calories were there.. could of used a bit more protein as well but hey.. not bad considering what I have been doing all day. See you all tomorrow for what I hope will be a quietier day Carla

My intake today was better than usual: B:  protein bar  L:  4 pieces of sushi S:  Protein Tube (new Whey) D:  Shrimp with small toasts S:  2 mini snickers Jess

Welcome aboard.  Do you do you sparkpeople or fitday to measure your amounts.. seems a bit low on the calories although the protein looks pretty good.. it still could be a bit low.   Hope to see you again and joining us on our travels to good health. Carla

I used to use fitday in the early times.... now Im 2 years out.  I felt like I ate like a pig yesterday so I think I need advice from time to time and I appreciate you letting me know it was low.  Yes I always get the protein in and vitamins... I dont want to be bald ha ha.  I take protein shakes/ tubes.  Jess

Lets hope your day is calmer tomorrow than today... Ouchie for your son tho... yipes...

Very nice day Anita.  still need to up that protein a bit and if you are gonna do that much exercise you should add a couple extra cals, but your choices for the day are wonderful.   Good job Carla

ok i will try more protein even if i have to have another shake. i will try and add more calories. :-( yes i am exercising everyday now so i see i do need to up the calories since i burn some off. anita

I'm with you AnitaJo, at least I'm trying!  Yesterday wasn't so bad, but just to give an idea of what happens after dinner--my total cals was 820--including my pm snack!  But a fit of grazing while I was on the phone with a friend landed me here : B-1 turkey sausage pattie, 1 egg, and 1/4c grits w/ 1/2 slice of cheese (around 10am) S-applesauce, another sausage pattie (around noon) L-1/2 turkey burger w/ turkey bacon and guacamole (around 2:30pm) S-None (napping) D-3 oz B/S jerk chicken breast, 1/2c steamed cabbage (6:15pm) S# 1- 1/2 apple and 2 water crackers w/ 2T pecan chicken salad (ate this while preparing it at approx 7:30pm) S #2- other half of aforementioned turkey burger (about 9:45pm) S# 3- MORE pecan chicken salad (2T), 10 MORE water crackers, and 1c. reg sweetened iced tea (between about 10:30pm and 12:15am while on the phone!) 1450 cals, 58g fat, 139g carbs, 98g protein, 18g fiber 56ozs water Despite the post-dinner fallout, I did manage to get about 30 min of cardio in with the Extreme Makeover workout DVD.
