Accountability - Monday

Well, the diagnosis is: I'm sick..LOL. The doctor says it's just a bad cold. No strep (but I can't speak, throat is sore), no ear infection..just a cold.. So I stayed home and slept about 2 hours in the afternoon..I feel better but still sound like oatmeal on the sidewalk...nasty..


What I ate today:

1/2 serving of protein pancakes, this time added 1 Tablespoon PB2. sugar free syrup

2 cups herb tea

1/2 serving of protein pancakes with peanut butter..

2 cups herb tea

24 oz drink mix (on the way to the doctor's office)

just about all of a chicken quesadilla

1 cup herb tea

24 oz drink mix, SoBe Tropical

tilapia (3 oz) on a sandwich thin with a tablespoon of tartar sauce, cheese and tomatoes with 1/2 cup canned green beans

I fully intend to have a couple more cups of herb tea. Lemon and/or pomegranate, I'm thinking..and then some Nyquill to take it all away!

Totals for the day:
Calories: 1594
Fat: 86.1
Carbs: 120.7
Protein: 109.4

Not too bad. I had a slight carb coma after the quesadilla but I needed to sleep. Last night I slept for 11 hours..maybe I'll do that again tonight..that would be nice.

How did you do? Keep after it. Anyone else seen those bagel thins? Look interesting to me..I may have to try them. You know, for research purposes? LOL.

Yummmm love bagel crisps!!!
Day one of 5 Day Pouch test:
sf CIB
1 cup of decafe coffee milk and splenda
sf jello x2 not at same time
1 cup cream of chicken soup
protein shake
 4 oz sf butterscotch pudding ( didn't like but ate anyway)
2c beef broth
sf jello x2
jasmine green tea
still hungry!!! Hope this works.... 

Tomorrow will be better. Keep drinking and keep doing what you're doing.. You can't drink TOO much stuff that first day and running back and forth to the restroom is almost exercise. LOL.
I don't love bagel crisps but I hate eating any sort of hamburger bun. There's twice as much bread as meat..They have those little oroweat sandwich thins and they're whole grain and 100 calories for one..alittle more calorie than a lettuce wrap but not nearly as messy as those.. I liked the idea of a really skinny bun so I do those instead of a hamburger bun or slices of bread (which I belive are 100 calories per slice if I remember correctly)

Once you get the carbs cleaned out of your diet, assuming thats the food drug of choice for you, you can control how much you eat by substituting other things. lettuce wraps, sandwich thins...

I bought two boxes of flavored teas yesterday because the one thing the doctor told me was that I was drinking enough water (a gallon a day) but to switch to warm or hot rather than ice water. I usually prefer ice water.

Keep up the good work. See ya.

I have not seen the bagel thins, i will be looking for those. We do not have as much vaiety where I live as the big city over the bridge.
0800-scrambled eggs and 1 piece of bacon
1200-1/2 sandwich and a cup of soup
1500-cottage cheese and fruir
1700-grilled snack wrap
1930-meat loaf and small sweet potato
2100-skinny cow
No exercise, kind of bummed about that. I had planned on a short run and zumba but had to change my plans due to DH helping his parents this afternoon so I had to pick up DD.
All my water and such. I have a running date tomorrow so no getting out of that!
Mary

Feel better soon dawn! I love Nyquil!

They looked like thin hamburger buns from a distance. I saw them at Costco but we were looking for something else and the lines were OUT THE DOOR...I wasn't up to shopping normal style (walk stand for HOURS) so we skipped it. Next time we'll plan a bit better I think..

I understand the bummed feeling. I get like that when I've planned to do something. I get alittle cranky when plans fall through..but family is important and I have to remember it's not their fault (much). LOL.

I'm feeling better but no voice. I checked my messages and it's just going to irritate me to sit at that desk and not be able to chew people out so I"m staying home again.

You did good. There's always tomorrow for the running and zumba.. Keep up the good work. See ya.

MIA - Feeling sooooo disconnected after not reporting in since Friday!

This weekend:

Friday morning chiro, then oil change, then tires rotated - gased up, packed the car & off we were to go see my kick in the pants 82 yr old auntie. Got there, chatted for a bit & then went to dinner at CLAIM JUMPERS (omg that place is awesome!!!) where I had a 1/2c of clam chouder, 1/2 rack of bbq beef ribs (of which i was only able to down about 2 ribs & a bite of 2 of the mammoth backed potatoe) & a strawberry lemonade. 
Back to her place, chatted for a bit & off to bed EARLY! I was so exhausted.

I cant remember exactly what else i had on friday.
I know i had a banana & coffee for breakfast & munchies on the way to aunties (baby carrots), but dont recall what else. 
 
Sat. morning - up "early" (lol @ "early"), off to breakfast spilled HOT HOT HOT COFFEE all over my thigh, but still had a nice breakfast @ one of the Indian casinos buffet I was a good girl & "just" had 1 serving of bacon, eggs, 1 pancake & 1 waffle.

Chatted chatted chatted then back to her place. Packed up & off to my brothers.

Mc Donalds for lunch & then a left over rib @ his place. chatted for abit & then finally home.

Saturday night - I tried to work on a paper, but couldn’t. my eyes  were just burning I was so tired. I think I might have had a left over piece of chicken for dinner, then i was off to bed.

Sunday morning up REALLY EARLY (seriously), you'd think I'd be off to church, but no. worked on the paper until about 1pm - but I finished it.
Showered (omg, finally a shower) & off to my cousins house for a goodbye get together for my lil cousin who's going into the Navy on Tuesday **sniff sniff**.

 

 

A couple of hours at her place, then off to WalMart for the weekly restocking of groceries THEN HOME **finally**.
Sunday I had:
oatmeal pancakes & farmer john sausages for breakfast
hors'de overs munchies @ my cousins for lunch

B: coffee
Candace's Protein packed Oatmeal (this stuff keeps me satisfied till noon!)

L: Lettuce, Romaine topped w/ Kirkland Grilled Chicken Strips & sliced cheddar
20oz water w/ my vits (havent been taking them lately & Ive noticed that ive been feeling really tired - so i started taking them again. wouldnt you know it, im feeling a bit better today **DUUUHHHH** lol)

That happens to me all the time. I figure I'm off in left field and eating about 1800 calories a day because I take a weekend off and the next day I don't feel like eating at all..I just have to remember to drink water...I don't stress over just getting 700-800 calories but tha****er is really necessary. The doctor at Urgent Care was surprised that I drank a gallon a day but was right there with an answer to the temperature..I switched to herb tea naturally..

Yeah, I just realized I've missed my normal vits! I've been taking vitamin C and garlic for the cold but the rest....yikes. I better get back on that band wagon.

See ya.
