 Totals for teh day:

Calories:1754

Fat: 99.6

Carbs: 115.00

Protein: 110.3

 Not bad at all. I got all of my water in, all of my vitamins in and was at least more active than I was at home..although, sitting in my chair at work made my backside ache.

 I'm back to the schedule that makes it easy to stay on track and that's a good thing..while at my desk at work, I have no choice but to stay focused..and that's also a good thing..

 How did you do?

Okay, better day all round. You're back to work, but no word on how the tattoo went over..
I had a better day. I booked a mover, big relief and scheduled new phone service. I have a move out date of Jan.22 and move in date in Kansas City on the 25th. I am trying to get my internet service installed the same day as the mover is showing up.. it will probably be a miracle if everything actually comes together according to my detailed plan.. but, one hopes..

Today:
1pm poori, stir fry and dried pinapple (I may have a small stomach, but, it must be a strong one to start out the day with this line-up)
2pm protein drink (not my usual, only 15 grams..)
4pm 2/3 cup ziti
5pm soy chips
6pm dried pinapple
8pm 1/4 cup ziti
9pm one egg omelet with 1oz of cheese and a poori
10pm herbal tea and a third ring of dried pinapple

today's totals:
calories: 1245 (okay then, you know I have to keep this number down, no exercise...I am sooo impressed with Mary...)
protein: 52 grams (a little light...)

all of my fluids and vitamins

I had a lot of the ole' dried pinapple today, but NO cookies... I've decided to label this "success"

wishing everyone a great day tomorrow.

Someone shared a sugar free low carb cookie recipe with me and I tried it last night. They look ugly but they taste pretty good:

1/2 Low carb baking mix (like bisquick or CarbQuick)
1 package sugar free instant pudding mix
1 egg

This makes 12 cookies. I added a small handful of sugar free hershey chocolate chips...cuz that's my weakness. These are 30 calories and 1 gram of protein each.

I had two of them..and they were good..bumpy looking but good.

You did really good staying clear of the cookies! Great job.

Everyone I showed the tattoo to liked it and pretty much said it would be normal for me to have a tiny hermit crab tattoo...then the first question was "Did it hurt?" Yup..it did hurt. but it was quick.

Keep up the good work. See ya.

 

  hi dawn,

here is what i had for tuesday...  well our arnot baritrics is leaving us. tonight is the last support meeting. i know my bf wont go to the meeting with me.i asked my bf if i can go he said it sounds like a plan. we need dog food and stuff so we are going to go to the store after the meeting. plus go to olive garden. he got a gift card from my sister. what can i eat there? 

B- 1.2 c. mozz cheese
1 slice split top wheat bread with pb

L- can of tuna fish
small amount of mayo
diced tomatoes

D- 1 1/2 c home made chili
1 corn muffin

S- little pkg of crackers with pb
2 full cinn graham crackers with maybe 2 T crunchy pb.

4 c coffee
2 cups hot tea
40 oz water..

I think Olive Garden does have some low carb options but they have A LOT of pasta. I think they have tilapia but I'd leave the pasta on the plate. They have some good soups..

Nice increase in fluids. LOVE homemade chili con carne..I usually do that with myleft over turkey!

You're doing great. Keep up the good work. Se eya.

 i did check olive gardens web site they do have some low carb dishes which i am aiming for. 
i think so far i am doing good. i am trying .  oh yeah i love homemade chili. it did taste really good. 
am i doing ok with the carbs ? am i getting enough protein? i didnt have any protein shakes yesterday. still my weight is 166 pounds... yuck... i see where i gained... my belly is puffier now.
i need to get some exercise in. i was thinking about just tring to dance... move my body. i dont know how to dance. i will have to look up what i can do at home for some exercise. 

You really have to be careful you don't make yourself believe that this is a quick thing, to lose the weight...It took a long time and alot of habit building to get the increase going over time...so it's going to take building a different sort of habit to get rid of it..It will happen..just not really fast.

The only way to measure the carbs and such is to do a daily journal like fitday or daily plate..and then you can see how much of what you're taking in..And when you see a high carb number, look at your list and see if there are white carbs or if it's natural carbs like you're chili or fruits and veggies..that's what I do..

Dancing is a GREAT thing to take up and it's FUN..I don't know that I could develope a *taste* for exercise for exercise sake..if you know what I mean. It's gonna have to be fun first of all and exercise by mistake, more or less. LOL. But that's just me. There are people out there who develop a love for marathon running..I don't happen to be one of them..

Anita. I just read your post from yesterday. Is Arnot Bariatrics really closing up shop??? I didn't know that. I am surprised that I didn't get any notice from them.. give me details, Anita..

I am so happy to see you posting with us. I really enjoy our group.

 yup they are closing i went to the support meeting last night. i left earlier since it was boring and it was all about the closing. well when i started to leave they was starting to ask about problems. 

I had a long busy day yesterday! I worked all day and planned on a run at the Y and water aerobics. I did not put the gym bag in the car! I knew I forgot my lunch but did not realize i forgot my gymbag until I pulled up at the Y! I could not go home and get it because DD was already dropped off at the Y for her ballet class. I read a magazine and ate a bag of baked cheetos instead! Then DD tells me she needs a costume for her school play, so we went to the mall to look for something a choir teacher would wear. We did not get home until after 8 PM! Ate dinner put  packed gym bag in car and went to bed! I ate like I was going to work out hard so calories were high 1800 and so were the carbs!
