Accountability... what did you eat Sunday

I tried something a bit different on Sunday. No malto meal.  Breakfast: Left over chicken enchilada and a it of refries from the night before and coffee (6 am) Snack: 4 multi grain crackers, 1 cheese stick and an orange and coffee  Lunch: last stuffed cabbage leaves meal (1 portion) 11 am Snack: 19 gram protein bar Dinner: 4 oz pot roast w/ 1 cup vegetables (cabbage, carrots, onions). and 2 oz avocado Dessert: SF Chocolate candy 1 pc Calories: 1619 Fat: 64 Carbs 160 Protein: 118 I had one 24 oz glass of iced tea and 5 cups (10 oz) coffee w/ NSA Swiss Miss and 2 oz soy milk - my drink of choice when I'm really busy. I'm trying to cut back on the packets of water mix. I've got some sort of rash/hives and I think it's splenda but I can't be sure so I'm stopping all that sort of thing for a time.

I live on splenda myself.  I got very tired of water long ago.  Right now during this cold time I have become a hot tea snob but I have to have splenda in it.  I have always had a sweet tooth.. Good day again for you.  I dont know how you can eat one piece of candy.  I know I cant do that.. I would eat the whole package so I just dont buy them. lol Great sailing day and here in Cali the weather is perfect for it. Carla

One piece isn't too many calories and not too sweet. I'm not really big on sweets lately but after a spicy meal or when everyone else is getting a huge hunk of chocolate cake with ice cream and hot fudge or something totally sinful...one piece does me. then i'm off and running again to do something other than the obese persons' exercise (fork in hand to plate and then to mouth, repeat).  Splenda seems to be the only culprit that could be causing the hives and itching I have been getting. I've done equal (aspartame) for years in multiple diet colas per day before surgery so if it's equal, I'm really in trouble. It could be the caffinated Morning Spark, (Gawd I hope not) but for now I'm going with equal and sweet and low for at least a couple of weeks to see if the itchy patches simmer down. I've even stopped with the Morning Spark for a while to see if that could be it.

   Well, last week I did the 5 DPT and lost 4 1/2 pounds!!!! Yeah Me!!! On Sunday we went to church, I didn't eat before we went because after church, my awana chirch group went to gattiland for pizza!!!!! OMG was it good, but I didn't eat the crust. They have this BBQ chicken Pizza that is to die for!!! I ate the toppings off of 2 pieces!!!! But I did eat 1 small cheese stick also. Then at about 8:30 I ate 8 oz. of S.F. strawberry bannanna jello!!!! Then exercised for 45 minutes and went to bed!!! Not sure what my calorie intake was but I don't feel like it was toooo bad!!!! Today is Monday and it is back to the grind!!!! Pushing the water and proteins to make up for yesterday!!!! Highest weight: 262       Surgery weight: 249      current weight: 149       Goal weight: 130

Well you did good girl.  do you input your food on sparkpeople or fitday.  I know it helps me keep track and keeps me aware of some of the things I would eat if I didnt know what they consisted of. Have a great on and congrats on the 4 1/2 pounds last week. Carla

Well, I was a social butterfly last night!  Had a lovely "al fresco" early dinner complete with a few glasses of wine...which totally impeded water intake as it took quite a while to finish them! B- Nectar Caribbean Cooler S- 1oz honey roasted almonds L- 3oz ribeye steak, garlic smashed red potatoes, ceasar salad, flan-like dessert D- Turkey frank on potato roll 1454 cals (including the wine), 38g fat, 120g carbs, 81g protein, 9g fiber 32oz water

I see the cals for the wine as you didnt eat a whole lot of have a great protein day.  It's always good to have a special day.  your choices for the day were good.  Nice job Carla

Please cheer for my.  I read what the 5 day pouch test is and I am starting it today.  So far I have had one protien drink (56 g protien),  a 24 ounce s/f cherry mocha with 4 shots of espresso and 34 ounces of water.  I will have a protien Drink for Lunch and Dinner and will keep drinking water.  Tomorow, I will have a smaller Mocha because I did'nt decide to do this test until after I had My Mocha.  Question,  On the 3,4, and 5th Days Do I Drink a Protien Drink?  I cant get enough Protien through My food intake?  Feedback would be apreciated.  Thanks

YIKES... that thing scares me. I so far have not had to do it.  I hear both good and bad about it.  We have had a lot of ppl on this thread try it.  Good luck on it.. Keep us posted on how it's going.  We are all rooting for you.   Carla
