Can you tell me what the ON vanilla ice cream is you eat that has 24g of protein??  Thank you!

LOL, I guess I should change the description, you aren't the first to ask, lol.  It's Optimum Nutritional Vanilla Ice Cream protein powder.  I get mine from GNC, I love it!

You really do wonderful when you journal your food. I'm dreading not journaling my intake while I'm on vacation...I know I need to losen up alittle and see what happens when i don't keep track of it all but I'm skeerd...LOL.  I think I'm gonna have some decaf and head to bed...Not sure what my mental problem is today. Just not at all with it.

111111Inspiration comes in spirts...I hope yours spirts again soon...you inspire me to do well. B:  coffee S:  lipton iced tea pink lemonade & 3 cinnamon candies L:  oikos vanilla greek yogurt, 1/4 c. Kashi go lean cereal, & 10 red grapes S:  atkins morning peanut butter crisp bar & abouat 8 oz dunkin donuts iced coffee w/ skim D:  1 egg, 1/4 c lean turkey ham, 1/3 c ww shredded cheese & 1/4 c soy milk light baked S:  Edy's no sugar added butter pecan light ice cream w/ PB2, sf choc. sauce (1tbsp) & 2tbsp lite whip topping...no frozen greek yogurt tonight cause I had it for lunch. I was STARVING by 3pm so I won't have that for lunch again???  Carbs bit me again adds up to: Calories = 947 protein = 66 carbs = 96 (candy & atkins put me up by 36 just those 2 things) fat = 31

I just can't do the cereal thing. But I do add TVP to my yogurt. Heck, I'll add it to anything that needs a protein punch.  I found different flavors of drink mix by Wylers at Walgreens today. $1 a box..Maybe I need something new.  I definitely need a Spirt.

Me next   Well after seeing my post and relooking at my journal  I think my carbs have been a little higher.  That's just my thinking.  But I see the NUT next week and I'll get an official response from her.  I can tell you that I've had a headache most of the afternoon.  feeling better now. Here we go.  coffee Protien shake made with Blueberries 3 slices of cheese 1/2 roast beef sandwich on ezekeal's bread with swiss cheese protien bar 1oz pork, 1/4 cup of rice, 1oz cheese, egg ( mixed together)  ate only 3/4 of it cals 918.2  protien 79.1  carbs 67.8   now its still 8 pm here so I may have another protien shake later but right now i'm pretty done.

I can't see anything I would change on your list..It looks good. I hope your Nut has some answers for you.  See ya.

I'm going to do two day's at once. The first is my cross post from another accountability thread for Monday's food with an excerpt about my test.. the 2nd is yesterday's food. Post Date: 7/1/08 11:46 am
I'm alive.  I wish I were still asleep, but I'm alive.

The test started out ok.  I had immediate reaction, but figured it was due to not eating (nausea).  BP and HR were fine, though, so I really assumed it was cause pouchie was empty for too long.  6 min in the nausea got worse.  8 min in and I was really feeling it.  10 min in was not cool.  11 and I crashed.  They ended the test at 12 minutes with a positive reaction.  My systolic went to 71 (from a start of 118), which was way lower than my HR (which had started to speed up around 8 min).

Ever try passing out standing up but strapped down?  It's not fun.  Pretty clausterphobic.  Good thing those damned straps were on well because I was clawing my way through them before I finally went under.  They put me back flat (actually, mor eof a head stand), and all was right with the world within 3 minutes.  Except now I'm exhausted.  At least they didn't need to use medicine to cause the reaction.. I'm always trying to do things on my own yannow (dry humor).

So what does this mean?  Well, I get a new medication to my ever-growing list.  Soon as Katy-bit wakes up from her nap, we're going to go fill it.

So thanks for the thoughts.  It means alot to have such a kind and caring family.  My other board is worrie bout me, too (which is ironic, knowing where it is.. most people hate that board), so I'll do my accountability and check up on posts later today when I feel alive again.

My day's food started out late.. but I ended up getting quite a bit in before I headed off to bed.  I don't know if it's cause AF is on her way, or the test, but I'm on day two of a migraine.  I've started some triptans, so I hope I'll at least feel human by lunch.
