drank a ton... who keeps yawning.. stop that.. oh wait it's me.. lol... well you all have a great night and I will see you tomorrow Carla

Today was super busy.  My water intake was nowhere near where it should be and even though the numbers are ideal for me, I went way to long without food or water and didn't eat dinner until after 9pm.  On the plus side, I'm doing great with being out and not stopping for something to eat or buying items on impulse.

Very nice day.. One of the things I do when I have a busy day is carry one of those fridge-on-go's.  I put a protein shake in there, apple and a can of pop top chicken.  I will even put some simple snacks like a 100 cal pack of cookies and carrots.  Works great for the day.  Of course I put some liquids in there as well. Most places will now make grilled chicken wrapped in lettuce too.  Even McDonalds.  When I am not prepared thats what I will get.  Just some tips for the busy days that help me out a lot. See ya tomorrow Carla

I just wanted to say how awesome it is that you are doing such a great job keeping a record of what you are eating. I went to a really awesome conferece sponsored by Harvard last summer about weight loss. The experts in the field were from all over the world. One of the things they mentioned repeatedly was that keeping food and exercise diaries is one of the most important things you can do in order to assure your success in taking weight off and keeping it off. Stick with it! It's a great habit to ensure sustained weight loss over time! Encourage others to follow your lead!

Thank you Connie.. we are a determined bunch of people where.  We will succeed and win the battle agains obesity and we will be healthier for doing it..  Carla

I had a great day...I ate out three times and still managed to keep it to a dull roar.. Breakfast: Malto meal, soy milk, wheat germ, banana and coffee Second breakfast: 3 eggs and 2 ounces of steak, 1/3 cup of cottage cheese Lunch: 1 chicken breast grilled (I figure 5 ounces) 1 bite of steak and 1 bite of baked potato (measured as 1 oz steak and 1/16 cup baked potato) Snack: 1 SoBe granola packet, cherries and almonds (started felling guilty about no fiber today) Dinner: (this is gonna be good) A MARGARITA, 1 cup of tortilla chips and 1 chicken enchilada (note to self, don't eat chips at all next time.) I got so full and so wasted on the margarita I thought I was going to get sick but managed to get over it and was able to celebrate with everyone anyway.  Totals: Calories: 1661 Fat: 53 Carbs: 135 Protein: 131 Again, up at 4 am didn't pop into bed until 10 pm. Back up this morning at 4 am.  Tomorrow I need to work on more veggies. it was wall to wall meat on Saturday and nothing else but that margarita was really GOOD.

Not being much of a drinking person before surgery I have yet to try a drink since.  I hear that you get drunk pretty quick..  I was like that before so I am not sure what would happen now..lol.  Nice protein level for the day and really it all looks good.. some of those carbs in veggies would be great though..   Keep up the good work.. Carla

You know, I did drin****asionally before surgery. I was good for at least a couple of wine coolers or a couple of beers at a barbeque but those fizz and I'm not even tempted anymore. But hard liquour isn't bad, and you're right. I get crocked really quick but it seems to go away pretty quick too. I would never attempt to drive even after a sip of something but it's fun to celebrate occasionally. We've decided to try out happy hour sometimes at the same place with a couple we know. They have drinks (for me "drink") and some nibblies from 4-6 on Thursday nights. It might be fun so we'll give it a try.  Also, I had no idea about the veggies until I looked at the counts. One banana in a day like i had yesterday is not good. So I'm trying to even it out a bit today. An orange and 4 multi grain (brown rice) crackers today so far but I'm going to do better. That's the good thing about this captain of my own ship thing...I can steer it back on track if I sway off course some. I'm at leas****ching where I'm going and that's what I need....THANKS!

Isn't that the truth captain.  You always do great.  I tend to do the same thing and forget the veggies too.  This thread sure helps to show where you might be lacking in.  I know one day the chance to have a drink will arrise and I know I will be very careful after seeing everyone elses experiences.
