Accountability - What did you eat Saturday?

Yikes. Busy busy day today. We had two families come over for a barbeque. Between running with stuff and trying to figure out what to eat I didn't make choices too well. number one on the list..A wine cooler. No good stuff and all calories AND it made me nearly sick from the high sugar.  Breakfast: skipped the normal hot cereal and off to town for shopping: 3 egg omelet, ortega chili peppers and swiss cheese, 1 cup of cottage cheese, no spuds. coffee Snack: well, before we left for breakfast, I had a protein bar Lunch: 2.5 oz can of tuna on a bed of shredded lettuce and some salad dressing (low fat ranch, I think).  No afternoon snack, strange.  I wasn't hungry, just really busy cleaning house.  Dinner: 1/3 lean beef patty, 1 slice cheddar cheese, a small salad with rasp pom vinegrete, also ate 6 slivers of deep fried breaded zucchini..yum. and some dip. Dessert: 1 daquiri wine cooler.  Late night snack: microwave muffin. Totals for the day: Calories: 1976 Fat: 108 Carbs: 98 Protein: 140 Well, tomorrow is another day. How did you do? After that wine cooler, I'm surprised I can remember how to work this computer...LOL. Quick to get wasted, quick to get over it.

Dawn, Sounds like you're having a fun day. Blessed Sunday to all.

Wow..I'm seeing such low numbers here! Other than the fish, you didn't eat anything to speak of..Protein shakes. You should be a twig..I'm basically embarrassed for eating so much from reading this list. We have a great group of friends. Actually, my husband's oldest and dearest friend, his wife and daughter and his wife's parents came out for a barbeque. We had burgers and franks and chicken..We have so much left over, I'll be putting the chicken on my salads for the next three days, I'm sure. Measured carefully. LOL.

Dawn sent you an email through OH, please read before you have breakfast.

I did see it. I'm checking to find out the particulars on the story about Malto Meal and people getting sick. Thanks for the heads up!

I see you're two pounds below goal now. Are you trying to increase a bit or maintain?  I add protein powder (soy) to my hot cereal to boost the protein. It tends to flavor it whatever flavor the protein is but it's not obnoxious.  Your list here looks really good and varied. I like it.

no i'm not anymore. i am now 153 today. i am trying to get back down to 144 pounds. old bad habits have to go.. i am trying now.. it is so hard... how do you do it? how far are you out? i'm 4 years out and crave sweets.. how much protein powder do you add? a scoop?

I'm nearly two years out (22 months) and trying to get up to my goal weight the doctor set for me.  I make 3T malto meal in the morning and put a scoop of soy protein powder in with it and one cup of soy milk. That brings the total protein up to about 33 grams. Better than eggs, I figure and it warms up my pouch, which makes me feel better in the morning. I put a packet of splenda and some butter buds and I'm good with that breakfast for about two hours. 

Teeth are getting better now the PMS monster rears her ugly head...How many calories does one burn complaining?

I was very active today. So I got in a bunch of excersice but no excuse for the continual eating will do better today.
