Keeping it honest - Day 11

vanilla/strawberry flavored coffee? Wild, would never have thought to try that lol. It's a pain to write down the numbers! I don't like it one bit lolol.

That was my bad, I had "A" strawberry, and coffee with vanilla flavored unjury. SORRY!!

it's funny actually...I had a cup of GF internation vanilla cafe earlier and then ate my strawberries and thought of you

Oh yes, weekends are really hard and they should not be. All days seem the same during retirement. 1---1 raspberry cottage cheese double 2-- 1/2c spaghetti 1/2c sauce and 1 meatball 1 piece garlic bread 1/2**** cream 3---2 string cheese 6 wheat crackers 4--- 3c air poped white popcorn 5---1/2c mixed fruit jello cal.924 fat36 carbs. 105 protein 46 I need to reverse my carbs and protein. I had a very stressful day and I have a real hard time with stress and nerves. I think this will happen a lot for a while not but I need to work harded on the stress and carbs(confort foods) Thanks for being here. You are an angel Hugs, Betty

Too funny about your weekends being hard even when they technically aren't 'different'. See, I homeschool, so the only difference to my weekends is my husband is home. BINGO! That's it! It's HIS fault lol. I hope the rest of your week is stress free!

Yes, I think one problem is that my son and I are alone all week for supper so he gets what he wants and I do the same. My hubby works all week 3 to 11:30. So on weekends I HAVE to cook for him and that messes me up. So its his fault also. I did forget to put on my being honest thing that I had 1/2c of your granola for 350 cal. Thats all I needed, right??!!!

LOL yes, lets DO blame our spouses Not MY fault LOL

Tooter! You're a homeschooler too! yippee!!!! I KNEW there was a reason you were such a research fanatic. How old are your kids? We homeschooled both kids (son all the way through high school; daughter through 11th grade). Both graduated college this past year. He is now a pharmacist doing a 2 year administrative residency and completing his MBA (he's only 23, married with 2 kids...can you tell I'm proud?) She's a physical therapist getting ready to take her state boards. What you're doing is awesome!!! There were times it was a rough road, but I don't regret a minute of it. In fact, I get kind of jealous each fall when I know so many others are looking at new books, new ideas, etc. Kind of wish I could go back and do it all again! Cheers! Julie

I have semi-special needs kids and the district was failing to meet those needs...so figured I'd best do it before it was too late. Sigh...thanks! You've done amazingly well with your children! I can tell you're proud of it/them and you SHOULD be. Homeschooling is no easy task, but the rewards are astronomical! I get a small thrill when people tell me how polite and well-spoken my children are (((HUGS)))

First, let me say that I do not "feed" or have "feedings." I am a person and I eat meals. Well, sometimes. 1 cup of coffee - splenda & half & half 30/2/0 1 coffee/chocolate protein shake 200/3/35 3 chocolate footballs 75/4/0 2 Diet Pepsi 0/0/0 1/2 banana 75/0/0 Chicken fried steak, mixed veggies, potatoes 300/10/20 Carb Countdown (48 ounces total) 480/12/48 I don't count carbs. Wait..I don't count anything anymore so this will be interesting to figure up. 1230 calories/31 grams of fat/103 grams of protein uh oh -- I forgot the cheetos.... 100/5/2 and the other chocolate footballs 75/4/0 1405 calories/40 grams fat/105 grams of protein If you discover that my math is wrong, I don't want to know about it. I've lost 3 pounds this week...back down to 130 lb. I'm going over to Tek's post. It's only 7PM.
