Have a happy Friday..I did alright  and could do some more but I think I'm done..that little bitty beer did me in..I didn't know they had beers in those tiny little bottles..too cute. I'll be getting my pain meds for my elbow tomorrow...and give them a try this weekend but I think just giving my elbow and arm a rest from computer input is gonna be really helpful..

How did you do?

Evening Dawn,,,just finished up calculating totals...good day I think...could use more protein but I think I'm done for the nite.

B  protein drink with almond soy
S  2pc turkey bacon
L  3 Jenni-o turkey meatballs w/2tbsp catsup, 2sl cheddar cheese
S  2 whole oranges
D  1c chicken stir fry w/sweet-sour sauce
S  Quaker PB bar

totals  1128cal, 43.5g fat..127.8 carbs  90.9g protein

Question...are oranges a bad choice??

done for the nite...see ya tomorrow

That's a problem I had with jus****ching numbers and not looking at the carbs..Yeah, oranges have high carb numbers but they don't cause reactions for your sugar because they have enough fiber to keep your digestion busy..so, while the carb number looks alarming you have to look at the carbs that caused that number...oranges? No problem...now if you'd have had several servings of ritz crackers to get that same number..THAT would have been a problem. You do need the carbs/fiber for obvious reasons (constipation sucks)..and the good ones are GOOD..

Of course, I'm not a NUTritionalist, I don't even play one on television or OH but it's my belief..

I will take oranges, apples, pears over slices of bread any day..

You're doing great. Keep up the good work. See ya.

Dawn...you may not be a NUT,(ok, maybe a little one in real life) but I sooo value your imput!  I saw the carb count and got really depressed...thinking, crum! I can't even eat fruit without a cost???    I mean, apples are great..but get boring after a while...I like to have choices!

Again, thank you for the feedback...I alway look for it.  Just when I think I screwed up...you come back with positive reinforcement and encouragement...I so appreciate it ^_^
Hugs!

PS..guess the 1 serving (12chips) of Ruffles doesn't qualify as a 'good' carb? LOL  I mean..it is made from potatoes.....LOLOL  Yeah...I threw the towel in late last nite...but today I'm right back on the track ;-)

LOL...Nooooo. Potato chips aren't just white, they are loaded with fat AND salt..but if you managed to stop at 12, you still win..I keep the chips where I cant' see them cuz if I see them, and I'm feeling carby (or crappy, lol) I'll eat the whole darn bag..

You're welcome. Alot of people talk negative to themselves..I figure, the least I can do is talk to you all like friends would speak to you..positive feedback is something we don't always get when we listen to that little voice in our head..You can see that from some of my days..Life is too short not to treat yourself like the wonderful person that you are..don't let anyone, including your inner voice, treat you less than nice..

I am so tired! I did boot camp 0530-0630 and pilates at work from noon to 1. I am going to bed!
0630-banana
0830-yogurt and a muscle milk light
1030-string cheese and a donut with sprinkles
1330-roast, potatoes, brocoli
1500-apple
1815-salmon, potatos, brocoli
2030 3 graham crackers sf ff pudding
all my water and such!

Don't forget to get plenty of rest...with that green flu going around, you cant' afford to get weak and let that stuff in...rest!

You did good. All the carbs are good..all the protein excellent..Keep up the good work. See ya.

Doing good..heading higher on the protein front and that's good for the RH..carbs are needed for quick energy..

Keep up the good work. See ya.

Well, I started Saturday by barfing breakfast,  not an auspicious beginning.  Another way to look at it is that it can't go anywhere but up. 

I'll be working Saturday from 9 to 12 teaching test prep to high school students.  It's fun but it wears me out.  I've made the commitment to help them until they take the FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test) in April, which they need to pass to be able to graduate.  Then I'll have Saturdays to myself again.  BTW, don't you think that the phrase "assessment test" is redundant?

Here is my day;

6:30 One slice high fiber wheat bread, 2 Tbsp low fat cream cheese, 2 oz. lox.  BIG mistake

7:45 Muscle milk light

10:30 Snapple diet peach tea

Plan to have:
12 noon mini bag of pop corn
1:30 1  chicken finger, cole slaw, SF popsicle

4:30 oat bran mini muffins
5:00 Hot Chai tea

7:00 Cheese and artichoke ravioli
8:00 Hot Chai tea

Going out tonight.  My son is receiving his 5-year medalion from NA.  I am so proud of him.  Every year he gives it to me at the ceremony while I cry like a baby.  Will try not to cry tonight.  --Fat Chance.
