Accountability Sunday

 It was another hot one, but a little less humid.   Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.  Carbs were a little high (strawberry ice cream-my favorite and a corn muffin), but I had a good activity day.  Here are my stats:

Fiber:           8                          

Sugar:            63
(the total accounts for both naturally occurring sugars as well as added ones)

Well, the best laid plans. I really wanted to go to church but I was influenced to change my mind. Long story short, I need to start going to church by myself..seriously. The one good thing was that we took the sleeping bags to the laundromat to clean them..brought them home to hang on the line all day to dry. They really needed that. I didn't sit around all day but I could have and made someone very happy. Can we say sabotage? Anyway, I made  my waffles and staged my lunches for the week and cleaned..cleaned some more and watched alittle of the olympics. Not as much as I wanted but some. I didn't sit around much. Some people you can tell when they really don't like stuff, they don't come out and say so but they do things that make you know, if you watch..sigh..is it worth it to make noise about? Not really so I'll keep my mouth shut but suffice it to say that sooner or later, I will make my voice heard.

My eats for the day:

coffee

coffee again

breakfast: 1/4 recipe protein waffles, 1 small pear, 1/2 serving sf pancake syrup (1/4 cup is a serving..who can put that much syrup on their waffle? pears are sweet enough!) and a sprinkle of butter buds

24 oz water with ice, non-caffeinated

second breakfast: a different egg burrito..still no hashed browns in it but sausage and some ortega chilis.I still only ate half of it. It came with hashed browns but I didn't eat but a nibble. I saved them for lunch.

24 oz iced tea

24 oz iced tea

lunch: 5 oz cooked salmon on that hashed browns..they were so filling, I only ate 1/2 cup and tossed the rest. I shoulda kept them and cooked egg into them with some hamburger or something..but I didn't. safer to toss them!

24 oz water with ice, caffeinated

dinner: 4.5 oz cooked chicken breast, from the grill with barbecue sauce, 1/2 cup mixed veggies from a can and 1/2 small baked potato

another container of water probably in the form of iced tea!

totals for the day: 
calories: 1487
Fat: 63.6
Carbs: 117.3
Protein: 117.8

Mmmm. those hashed browns are really spendy in the carb department. This week will be especially stressful. The admins are all on *retreat* and we're all on our own. I'm planning on making chili on Wednesday and taking it to work. Two batches if I can. one vegetarian and one with buffalo meat. We'll see how I feel Tuesday night!

See ya tomorrow!

One of the many things I am learning on this journey is that I (we) have to do what is best for us-even if that means putting ourselves first at times.  Not doing that had contributed to our obesity issues, I believe.  We need to be a priorioty as much (if not more-someitmes) as our spouse, children, job, parents etc... We have to be our own best advocate and pray that our significant others and the people around us will eventually understand that.  I have been fortunate with supportive people all around me.  
Here is to doing what it best for you! 

 Hi everyone.  I can get past this heat/humidity.  I feel like it has drained everything out of me and I have no energy or motivation.  I did a little bit around the house but not much.  I got to come home early on Friday but ended up making my first stop my lazy boy and before you know it woke up around two hours later.  That is basically how my weekend went.  I am going to post Saturday and Sunday's food if you don't mind to catch up.

Saturday:

Iced venti sugar free vanilla 2% latte
L: 2 slices protein brea, 3 thin slices ham, 1 slice cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp cream cheese, 1/2 peach
D: 4 oz boneless/skinless chicken thighs, 1/4 cup grated cheese, 1/4 cup avacado, 2 tbsp jalapeno ranch dressing, 2 tbsp salsa, lettuce/grated carrots/grated red cabbage/red pepper/peppercinis
S: 7 oz greek yogurt, 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1/2 tbsp stevia, 1/2 tbsp sugar free salter carmel syrup

Cals: 1879, fat: 86, carbs: 119.5, protein: 133

Sunday:

B: Starbucks ham/cheese/egg sandwich
Iced venti sugar free vanilla 2% latte
L: 15 shrimp, 21 soy crisps, 1 tbsp cream cheese, 1 tbsp mayo, 1 nectarine, 1 sugar free oatmeal/banana/almond cookie (homemade - oh my GOD)

That cookie is one of the things I did do.  No sugar.  Sweetened by bananas and made with protein powder, almond butter, quick oats.  They are dense and delicious and you'd never know there is not a speck of sugar or articial sweetener except what is in the protein powder in them.

Well type at you later.  Stay cool...

B:
1.5 cups of beef stew broth

L:
3 fish sticks
