Accountability - Monday

Monday morning...draggin my sorry ass out of bed..I did manage to do half of my stretches for my shoulder..I hope that's good enough. I was bad and didn't take my turmeric on Saturday at all. In fact, I missed ALL my vitamins and only took half of them before I went to bed..I did good on Sunday and I'll do good today. I also started taking my calcium further away from my coffee or caffeine consumption..I'm hoping that makes a difference too. I got out into the sunshine at lunch and did some shopping for necessary groceries..spending the very last of what I had that might have gone into my gas tank..I hate being so short on money but the whole world is, apparently.

My eats today:

5:30 am 12 oz coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss

6:00 am 1/4 protein waffle, 1/2 small apple, 1/2 sf pancake syrup

I'm debating eating a cookie...

Baby weight is hard for anyone to lose so don't stress too much that it takes a while..Looks like you're headed in the right direction. The numbers, pretty low, are good. Protein over carbs and fat (who cares? LOL) ..I don't get stressed over fat unless I'm not getting enough veggies. too much fat is hard on the old gallbladder. I had a gallbladder attack some time back and basically it appeared to be just sludge and not a stone but DAYMN it hurt..so I watch my fat and eat more fiber..

You're getting good dense protein (the steak)..and good carbs (broccoli)..watch those bread carbs cuz those will creep up and increase if you aren't careful. There's just something about bread. It's like when you eat it, it calls to more bread and makes you more hungry for bread. stupid bread! 

Keep debating on that cookie! LOL.

Keep up the good work, see ya! 

 I was dragging too today.  Really wanted to call in sick and just hide out in bed, but went to work and showed up.  Probably good thing I did.  Having a restless, irritable and discontent day - perfect for emotional eating if left to my own devices.  Here is my food today:

B:  1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese, 14 almonds, 5 prunes, 1 packet stevia
Starbucks iced venti sugar free vanilla 2% latte
23.7 oz water
L:  1 cup chicken chili
2 x 23.7 oz water
D: 1/4 flatout flatbread, 4 oz bonless/skinless chicken thighs, spinach, grated carrots/red cabbage, red bell pepper, peppercinis, 2 tbsp jalapeno ranch dressing, 2 tbsp salsa, 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese
S: 2.25 oz pumpkin seeds

1573 calories, 82 fats, 89 carbs, 122.5 proteins

Really happy with these numbers.  So tired and done with the day.  Have a good night ladies :)

Truth be told..I will be staying home today(Tuesday)..Headache or something..

I'm craving chili..one of these days I'll be making a big pot of it..probably Tuesday..

beans are a good carb! cabbage and spinach are good carbs. pumpkin seeds..yum and a good carb.

You should be happy with those numbers..very good.

Keep up the good work. Take your vitamins, drink your water and get some movement in for the day..Good job!

See ya.

I think the best call in sick was "Im not coming in today. I have a migrain & cant see" (aka - i cant see myself going to work!

I ate the cookie.... actually two. UGH I need a good protein powder!

Even though i hadnt had anything to eat in the morning, i didnt feel like having much to eat after my procedure.
I kinda got that scared to eat/drink ANYTHING feeling like right after the original procedure.
My throat felt like it was on fire & the only thing that made it feel better was hot tea.
So thats pretty much what i had yesterday when i got home.
about 150ml of sobe vitawater
6oz puerto rican bean broth
12oz hot tea
6oz projoe protein coffee drink
