Totals for the day:

Calories: 1576
Fat: 44.8
Carbs: 145.6

I guess if I over do it on protein, it's a good thing...The fat is so low..That's good, maybe..

So how did you do>>>?

For some reason, I want something sweet. I'll either have SF jello or a sugar free popsicle before I go to bed.

I thought I was done last night too...but I had a sugar free pack of tasty kakes so...I didn't do well AT ALL..

Your list, looks really good. I don't have nearly as much control as you do right now..It's the crud going on at work, I know..When things are really out of kilter at work, I get so angry with politics as usual..sigh..Lets just say that the feds do not have the market cornered on irresponsible spending.

Great numbers and great list...Keep up the good work. See ya.

I said the same thing to hubby tonight.  He said you always say that and he's right I always feel like I've eaten too much.  I'm struggling trying to eat more too maintain and not feel like I'm being "bad".  I was craving carbs today and seem to have eaten more of them than usual.

B-1 slice light toast with cheese
B2 @ work- greek yogurt with 1/2c kashi
S-Quaker mini rice cakes
L-1/2 whole grain wrap with ham, turkey bacon
S-pluot/pretzels
S-PB crackers
D-Chicken,rice and green beans
S-banana sand

I feel like I spent the day grazing!  Calories are still ok, even with all I ate.

Cals-1685 Protein-95

I firmly believe that if you are in touch with your body and it's asking for something, like carbs...you should let it have them within reason...I mean if my gut says it wants a donut...I'm not listening. But a couple whole grain crackers? Some pretzels? I just adjust for it later..

But that's not to say I don't feel like I've done something BAD...I don't know what that is. I'm trying to balance my carbs too. I've increased the good carbs, stayed away from white carbs and sugar so...I think, in that sense, I'm doing good. I do have my days though...especially when the stress is cranked up. Yesterday was bad because my usual, post surgery, reaction to stress is to not eat. Yesterday, I was shoveling stuff into my mouth..Like I was eating my stress, because I really can't yell and scream at work (although I do some of that too)...

It's a work in progress for me and for all of us..I can only work on me.

You're doing pretty well too! Your list looks good. The calorie number is really good for you...Admittedly the protein was probably not as big as the carbs but...if you hit your mark, you did good.

Keep it up. See ya.

had a little sliver of cake and thought to god I was going to die......that was about 11:00 am. And then nothing the rest of the day. Went to bed before dark. Never want cake again....ugh...

Yeah, sugar will be the death of me, I'm sure...You can substitute sugar free stuff for that and not get sick. TastyKake has an awesome substitute for hostess cupcakes with the creme filling...I had a package of those last night. shouldn't have but was angry and needed the "sugar" even the sugar free sugar is better than nothing when I'm stressed.

Now, you knew that cake was gonna make you sick...Did you do that on purpose? I'm just sayin...LOL.

Good Morning, its time to check-in...

Dawn, guess you already know stress can do funny (not) things to your head and the surgery only fixed the WHAT we can eat not the WHY...Today will be a better day ...

Later

Yeah, normally in the past three years when I got stressed my mouth just completely shut and I didn't and wouldn't eat anything at all...now that's dangerous! But this last one, I was SO angry...so pissy...that I was afraid to NOT eat but afraid to OVER eat...I swear, i don't know WHAT to do now..LOL.

You did awesome...just about enough water and more than enough protein...Good carbs number. I don't see any bad carbs at all on the list...maybe a smidgen but that's still acceptable..You're working hard on that and it shows!

Keep up the good work. See ya.
