Accountability - Wednesday

Boy! I could have FLOATED out of the office today with the water that I had but I had two containers of caffeinated drinks so I wouldn't usually count that. Still, I gave my kidneys a work out for sure..I was actually too busy to eat my lunch when lunch time came around so I had my egg and grapefruit instead to tide me over. It was 2 pm before I remembered to eat my lunch..I never could understand before surgery, anyone who said they *forgot* to eat..well, I'm getting pretty good at that myself now!

Totals for the day:
Calories: 1288
Fat: 66.9
Carbs: 88.6
Protein: 91.6

So this is what I do to maintain..I figure what I did before surgery: everything in moderation (BIG moderation) didn't work so I'm watching what I carefully..and it works. I'm doing really well with this so I'm sticking with it..

How are you doing? If what you're doing isn't working...change something.

Wow, I missed everyone! I haven't posted for several days and then I couldn't bring up the website for two days (I figured the website was mad at me for being gone so many days...)

Tonight when I had a hard time getting on the site, I just played spider solitare until it came up. It can be good to be persistent.

Today:
10am cottage cheese and applesauce and pinapple and protein drink
noon jambalaya and coffee with protein drink creamer
2pm turkey and cheese 'wrap'
3pm coffee (with milk..)
5pm mashed potatoes and corn (even I don't know why I ate this, but with my husband away and alone in the house, those spuds were going bad..)
7pm a bit more jambalaya
8pm SF pudding

today's totals:
calories: 1210 (wowwee!)
protein: 92 (wowwee more!)

lots and lots of fluids and all vitamins.

looks like it was a good day. How is everyone?? I really missed ya all..

Awesome! Your list looks really good. Great numbers. .I know when I have problems like that with the website, it seems like there's a plot against me. LOL..My service provider doesn't help either..sometimes they let me think it's me.

Keep up the good work. See ya.

Wow..I have those myself and usually the pay for it is quite hefty..I mentally beat myself up. The best thing is the do overs you get the following day. New day, new list, new chance..

You work out so much more than most (and a WHOLE LOT more than I do!) so I wouldn't beat you up so much but isn't it true that we do enough beating up of ourselves anyway? Don't. You're human, we're all human and this isn't a race with a goal, it's a journey that goes on for a long long time..

Have you seen that show Addicted to Food? The group leader, Tennie says when people ask us how we are we answer FINE..She also says that FINE stands for F@cked up, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional...Yeah, we're all FINE..LOL.

Have a better Do-over day..Keep up the good work..see ya.

Mary, are you sure you didn't just eat this stuff to make me feel better about the way my days go??? I wish I had your exercise habits... well, remember, nobody has a good day everyday.. you're still one of my heroes.

No, it was all for me! My exercise is my "therapy". I have actually slacked off a bit, but am trying to get back on schedule.
Thanks for making me smile!
