Accountability = what did you eat Sunday?

Well, the weekend is over. I had a great weekend. We bought a new laptop for our son who pledges that his grades are a C average. Now some might not reward C average grades, like my father...I would have been kicked around for C Average grades..But this kid is not the studious type and a C for him and actually enjoying his classes...that's a big deal. So yup. he got a laptop. Of course, I tested it out. Nice. And we're going to get to use it on vacation too...So it's a family laptop but his reward for a job welldone.

Breakfast: oatmeal, tvp, soy milk and coffee Snack: 1 oz cheese stick lunch: 1 beef taco with cheese, lettuce and tomatoe Snack: So Be protein drink, left over taco salad from the day before Dinner: KFC chicken thigh, KFC mashed potatoes and gravy, KFC cole slaw.  Dessert: 1/6 SF Angelfood cake, 2T SF Smuckers Caramel Sauce, 1 package of applesauce NSA Totals for the day: Calories: 1950 Fat: 88 Carbs: 173 Protein: 122 The angelfood cake deal came from a suggestion from another board...SF got me this time and gave me a tummy ache for a half hour...I'm sipping Decaf and cocoa right now to settle my tummy before bed.  How did everyone else do today?

Ick.. my washer leaked last night.  What a mess.  And the towels we've used to mop up the huge quantities of water have now mildewed overnight and are stinking up the house.  Which is even better because hubby has invited an old coworker to come over tonight to visit the kids.  I will be busy when I get back from the gym. And this coworker visit is keeping me from going to a support group meeting.  It's kinda ******g me off, but it wasn't his fault and not hubby's either.  I dunnow.. I guess I'm just really excitable today already.. bodes well for the rest of the day, don't it? clif builder bar 1c fage sliced turkey and mozzie flatbread 1c fage 1 salmon fillet cinnamon roll protein drink - tastes fine going down.. the 2nd time, not so much 1172 cals  34g fat  75.5g carbs  153.5g protein  13g fiber Does swinging on a swingset in 200 degree heat count as excercise?  My thighs were sweating (ugh!).  If not, then no, I didn't excercise yesterday :-)

I'm a schedule freak myself. When I have something planned, I feel like it's a communist plot when someone or something makes it so that I can't attend...Like things coming up on Sunday just when we're suppose to go to church...And things coming up on the support group days. Something is invariably coming up when I have something that I want to do for myself... Hey, all exercise counts..swinging counts. LOL. I look at it this way. Is it more exercise than watching television? If the answer is yes, it counts. You did good. How are those clif bars. I see those at my pharmacy (walmart)

You're right...high carbs..I can suggest that you add something like Textured Vegetable Protein or Textured Soy Protein to the oatmeal in the morning. I'm not sure if you have a mexican market around there but they have it at those by the dried chilies and the dried corn husks (for tamales)...And it's not too expensive either. a big bag of it lasts me about a month (and I use 2 scoops each morning in my oatmeal) for about $2.19 around here. Of course, California is basically Northern Mexico...but you can also find it in the health food stores. It's more expensive there but it will show you what you are looking for. It gives a nutty taste to all sorts of things and you can toast it with cinnamon or with garlic salt...Either way, sprinkled on just about everything it adds 12 grams of protein per serving.

Spaghetti is a hard one. I usually don't do much of that but what can you do with the sauce?

All in all, I think you did good on Sunday. Keep up the good work and keep chipping away at it.

hmmm i never had textured vegetable protein or textured soy protein. does it have a taste? i have tried vanilla protein in my oatmeal just to use it up but i dont care for vanilla protein so i dont do it often. no we dont have a mexican market here. where in Ca are you? my sister lives in SunnyVale Ca. never been there. i will look at wegmans maybe they have this textured vetable protein. might even check out ebay. Anita

It has a sort of bland nutty taste to it. Really no taste at all except what you put with it. Uncooked, it's a crunchy, nutty taste on stuff like yogurt and cotrtage cheese. In my oatmeal it's nutty but I add equal so it's a bit sweet...Just chewy. Not bad.  I live in south central california. On the desert.

Sometimes average is all we can hope for....maybe the lap top will motivate him...if not make him show you how to make a pimped out "my space" acct LOL  They do learn some things online!   B: my usual instant coffee, protein and soymilk latte L: 1/4 pound organic fram raised beef burger (Gotta stop eating this so often too fatty)  on a potato roll w/tomatoes, onions, spinach leaves ~ handful of cherries S: 4oz glass of red wine  D: Breaded baked porkchop, 1/2 C penne pasta tossed with fried zucchini, tomatoes garlic and asiago cheese 1 piece toasted bruschetta with pesto, tomaotes and cheese S: handful cherries S: Sweet-n-Salty peanut granola bar S: Knox Nails (orange protein drink) with biotin for nails (2 carbs, 35 cals, 7 proteins) Fat: 47     Carbs 131   Protein 111      Fiber 20   Calories 1423 Too many carbs today...Didn't plan my breads well...Should have spread out the bread in two days not have pasta on the same day too...Live and learn!

Do you make that latte cold? I'm just wondering cuz I know when the temps approach that 100 mark this summer, my hot oatmeal is NOT going to be appealing..I also switched to bison burgers about 1/3 the time...Lots more protein and a whole lot less fat. They even have 1/3 lb bison burgers at Walmart...Yumo! Yeah, my son isn't as into myspace as I am..I'm always logged into myspace..LOVE doing surveys that people send me..I'm just weird that way. Plus with the family reunion coming up, I can share my family photos with the reunion committee pretty quickly by letting them see them on myspace.. Yup, I'm a computer nerd. Duh.  Even with the extra carbs, your protein number really was up there, compared to the calories and fat...Looks good!  See ya.
