Accountability - Wednesday

Wow..so much going on for a short week...And stressful too. My younger step daughter has left Sacramento and is headed to Seattle to see her mother. Her mother is still in a drug induced coma and is gravely ill, suffocating to death slowly...We all sit and hold our collective breathe but there isn't much that we can do.
 
5:45 am 12 oz coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss
 
6:00 am 1/4 serving protein waffle, 1/2 large apple, 1/3 serving sf pancake syrup
 
6:30 am double espresso with plain soy milk frothed
 
7:00 am 24 oz Herb Tea, Lipton Passion Fruit Strawberry
 
8:30 1 oz cheddar cheese, 1 pc turkey breast deli meat
 
9:30 am 1 medium orange raw
 
10:15 am 24 oz Drink Mix with Ice, Hawaiian Punch Orange
 
11:00 am chicken salad: 5 oz chicken thigh meat (no skin), 1 cup lettuce, 1/2 tomato, 1/4 cucumber, 1 oz thousand island dressing
 
11:45 am 12 oz decaf w/ Half n half
 
1:00 pm 24 oz Drink Mix with ice, Power Edge Tangerine/Strawberry Caffeinated
 
2:00 pm 1 hard boiled egg

Totals for the day:
Calories: 1658
Fat: 87.1
Carbs: 125.7

Those carbs in the late after noon were totally stress related. apple with peanut butter isn't bad but I would have headed for a half dozen donuts. Two girls in our office were put on leave and the whole office is scared to death..

I could use another water bottle (actually, I could use something stronger.) or some tea..I'm thinking Camomile.

How did you do? 

I hope your step daughters mom is at peace soon. Hard to lose a parent. Put on leave' does that mean laid off? I had a busy dayatwork, assignmnets are piling up; every department wants their education done first! I made it to the gym after dinner but only walked on the TM, I was kind of feeling like my blood sugar was low, but I do not see how it could of been. I had eggs w ham and cheese, salsa and half a bagel thin.Strange!

I didn't have a better day but the week is over so..at least I have a nice long weekend AND it's Valentine's Day weekend..gotta be something better there. Nothing about my daughter's mom yet. She's still hanging in there.

Your numbers are awesome..Great carb number (lower than the protein number) and great protein number. You should be feeling really good about that list. all good carbs so that number doesn't count as a bad number at all. Asparagus! YUM. Really..not a slice of bread, pasta or rice...nothing white at all..You did awesome..

The prayers are really appreciated too.

Keep up the good work. See ya.

AWESOME...I just love my protein pancakes..cottage cheese, egg and the rest..makes for a great start to a good day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I love your list today..awesome..plenty of fluids too. Some people don't count the coffee and most days I don't but I do count the caffeine drinks that I drink. I don't think it dehydrates you and I don't think it causes problems so long as your stomach can handle the acidity of it..

Keep up the good work. Have a fantastic weekend! See ya

 yeah for me.................   i drink normal caffine coffee. glad i did awsome.........
