Accountability... what did you eat Monday

Disclaimer: When I weighed myself Monday morning I was at 203.2 pounds.  This morning I was at 200.6 pounds.  I have to say that I was surprised given what you're about to read.  Yesterday was a stressful/bad day for me and my food list shows it....

Lol.. to funny.  hey maybe all that stressed burned some calories off you.  Tomorrow will give you the final results, but dont you love it when teh scale is nice to you like that.  You had a very nice day all the way around.. eveyone is having such a good day today.. the fleet is sailing smoothly today. Keep it up Carla

I haven't been doing so well on Fitday recently - it's too much effort...  God, I'm lazy B - Aunt Jemima Sausage, Egg, & Cheese breakfast sandwich, Venti Breve Caffe Mocha from S'Bux S - Trail mix L - Stouffer's Chicken Asiago Panini, Ricotta Mousse S - Celery & Peanut butter, Venti Breve Caffe Mocha from S'Bux S - Trail Mix D - Homemade Beef Pot Pie, Ricotta Mousse S - Earl Grey Tea, Cheddar Cheese with Caramelized Onions (probably 3 oz), 3 Multigrain crackers I'll try to enter this in Fitday and do the math.  Will edit later... ETA - ok, back!  Here are the totals: Total calories ingested - 4460 calories from fat - 2806 (312 g) calories from carbs - 834 (240 g) calories from protein - 643 (161 g) DS Math Total calories absorbed - 1790 (wow!  under 2000 again!) calories from fat - 561.2 calories from carbs - 834 calories from protein - 385.8 I've been trying to cut out extra sugar (not my mochas, though, can't go too crazy!) since I had that 3 pound time-of-month gain (which is gone, thank god!).  I can really see a difference.  I'm under my normal 157 by a couple.  It's so weird to be "normal" like my friends and be able to just cut back for a couple of days and see the pounds go bye-bye! 

Welcome back mattie.  been a while since I've seen you.  yes.. below 2000. you are doing good and it shows by the couple pound loss that you see.  great job. See you tomorrow Carla

Bronwen I have a DS friend that said she heard this weekend that DSers malabsorb complex carbs but not sugar, I don't see you do the DS calc on the carbs, have you heard anything on this?

Yeah, I've heard that, but I can't separate the complex carbs from the simple ones in my carb count, so I just count 'em all - I like to think it keeps me honest .  Supposedly, DSers don't absorb about 40% of the complex carbs we eat, but we absorb 100% of the simple ones.  I think it was Dr. Rabkin in CA that said this - he's a very reputable DS surgeon, so I'd trust him.

OK Carla,  I see myself falling into bad habits again.  I WILL FIND TIME TO LOG MY FOOD!  I will Log my activity!  I will excercise everyday!   I will get my protein in.  I will eat enough of the right foods and not eat too many of the poor choices!  I will check in at OH on the accountability thread and the move to lose thread! This being said,  Here was yesterdays food.  I did get a 45 minute hike by my house with an average heart rate of 134 and a max heart rate of 162.
