Accountability... what did you eat Tuesday

Thanks!  You are always so sweet and helpful!   Well, I guess I was feeling bad about myself because I ate the pudding after I decided I was done for the day......I got up out of bed and ate it and felt like I squirted too much of the Redi whipp! I could eat that stuff out of the can!!!  LOL I will track today and try to keep on track. Thanks!!!!!!  Lorri

Alright I calculated it 3 times and I get 1355 on calories.  Not sure where you got your figure from Dana.  I think you missed that smoothie.  I also get 146 on protein. Now.. it is still an awesome day and even though you feel you blew it.. which you did not.  you made all good choices..  Nothing on there is a bad choice which is what we are shooting for each day. Now keep up the good work..  One thing that might help you not get so hungery is eating protein that is a little more dense.  All of your proteins where liquid or easy to digest.  That will allow you to be hungry fast.  A piece of chicken breast is about 150 in cals and keeps me going forever. Keep that ship sailing captain. Carla

Thanks!  you know, I didn't think about that but you are right, I had liquid protein for breakfast and lunch......no wonder I was so hungry!!!  I am glad you pointed that out!  I will try to make better choices.....

THANK U!!!!!

I had an okay day...Lots of snacks..(busy day at docs and running around) but I made good choices and I'm trying to add vitamins in my food now too which is going to be quite tricky.  I found out that I am also Vit A and magnesium deficient as well as Anemic...So I really need to get in some extra veggies. My number might start to get a little warped until I can figure out how to do this and watch my weight and grazing...:::pouting:::had quite an appetite too! B: 6 oz edamame soybeans (they just go down easy!)  S: Zone Perfect  PB and choc protien bar     16 almonds L: 6oz Chicken Breast baked with spinach and mushrooms D: 3/4 C textured soy crumble (mex style) with      sauteed peppers and onions and a 1/4 plain FF yogurt     1/2 Avocado S: half pumelo (grapefruit) Plain S: FF mozz Cheese stick and a raw carrot for crunch Fat: 52.5   Carbs: 116   Protein:127.5   Fiber: 32   Calories: 1466.5  Sugar: 40

Lots of dark greens will help a lot and are low in calories.  Were is the vitalady when you need her.. she knows all this stuff.  You are right.. more veggies and upping the vitamin content of your foods would probably be a good thing.  I know I try to have veggies at least once a day and if I can swing it a piece of fruit... You may want to consider drinking a V-8 (pop on the head).  it's pretty low cal and easy to slide in and not to bad tasting.  They even have low sodium ones now.  Just a thought. You had a great protein day.  wow where did that fiber come from.  I am still working on getting mine up a bit.. i know more veggies..lol and I have V-8 but (pop my own head) I never remember to drink it.  I should. Have a good one.. see ya tomorrow. Carla

Wait til you see todays' weird food choices...I'm experimenting with all kinds of stuff!  LMAO! The fiber came from the boiled soy beans 6 oz has 8 fiber and 20 protein and only 240 cal. that was a meal in itself. 3/4 Cup ground meat looking soy has 9 fiber...Plus almost everthing I ate yesterday had 2 or 3 grams of fiber...I couldn't believe it when I added it up...That's why  I love soy...it's like a "perfect" food.  I know quite a bit about veggies...but trying to get them in without the weight is kinda hard since I've been trying to get in more proteins...but I think I have the solutions...It's time to start juicing again.  Gonna pull out my Juiceman and start the green/mystery drinks my husbands hates so much again!  LOL I love them. I have no idea what they will do to my carbs...But juicing will take the bulk of fiber..and I'll just add a little back after I seperate the fiber from the juice.  I need to get the healthiest form of vitamins i can...and I have juiced for many years before surgery. I didnt eat raw veggies for a year after surgery because they bothered my pouch.  It's time to load back up on natures vitamins. Good thing most veggies are low cal.  Anita

Heya Captain Carla, Im here, surviving yet another freakin' snow storm. I am seriously in nervous breakdown zone at this point. I know its stupid to let the weather have so much control over my emotions and I laugh about it as its happening but Im still on the verge of snapping. Like yesterday was warm and sunnyish and I went out shopping and felt GREAT. Today I wake to snow, ice pellets, freezing rain and rain and Im so in the pooper I couldnt even get the motivation to brush my teeth... waaaaaaah!!! I know I know tmi  but I like using my public journaling of food as a place to let out the emotions that often get too bottled up and lead to stoopid eating. So I havent met my goals much lately. Im eating too little and I dont care enough to do anything about it,  just enough to stick my tongue out at my journal... BUT BUT BUT the forecast is calling for sunny tomorow and the next day and I will darn well bundle up and stand out in the sun until I make enough vitamin D to get me through another round of snow/rain/clouds :P Tuesday:

well maryland is not the place to be if you want sun.  Might wanna think about a move to california.  my kids are in shorts today.  sorry... now.. back to you.. come one now.. you gotta get that care thing going on..  how can you drive your ship if you dont even get your teeth brushed.. of course in the old days I am not sure they brushed or washed often for that fact. So you were almost there.. and since you didnt do much that is ok.  when relaxing less calories are the ticket.  \\ YOu know i was born in Maryland.  Only lived there for about a minute when my folks packed me in a car and headed west.  been here as long as I can remember but I have visited there.  It is beautiful during the summer and fall months.. snow is not my thing so I dont think I could ever live there.. but wow is it a beautiful state. Stay well and I will hope for sun for you tomorrow is another day. Carla

Got my 30 minute walking in. I can't believe it that I have stuck to getting in some form of exercise 4 days on a row.

Carla the bowflex is different than lifting dumbell type weights. Do you think that makes a difference? The 30lbs of resistance that I have used doesn't feel heavy.
I will check out what you mentioned for more info. Thanks

No it shouldnt matter.  its the method verses the type of machine.  Its doing fast light reps doing more than one type of exercise at time.  So if you do upright rows than do chest pull downs or soemthing that doesnt require you change the machine but your body position.  It keeps you moving fast and keeps the cardio going.. hence burning calories.  it also keeps your muscles tone as apposed to big.  It is a bit tough at first because you are moving fast and get winded just like you would be running or doing cardio but you will see major results quickly and see an improvement in your stanima.  it really is great for women who want to tone and not build, loose and define.   another good eating day.  at this rate you will be below goal in no time.
