Keeping it honest - Monday

I felt like I was grazing all day, but now that I review it wasn't that bad. altho, since I am on pain meds and antibiotics and feeling fuzzy, I may not be remembering everything as well as I should. I didn't really track anything during the day other than what time to take the antibiotics and get something in me at the same time so I was not nauseous. 1 piece raisin toast oatmeal sf jello south beach beef and broccoli 2 cheese slices and crackers 1/2 chicken breast with broccoli and cheese stuffing (something DH bought that was premade and microwavable.) one way bar, sf ice cream w/ 0 cal chocolate syrup

Dang I'm just tickled you're UP and eating! I was so tired and queasy I almost starved myself the first few days postop. Was hungry, but nothing appealed!

Great New Photo! So far this week is nearly on track. Busy day or lectures and meetings But I've managed to squeeze it all in. First- It's just now 4:00 Central time And I'm finishing my 8th Pint of water! 64 oz's? 6:30 - Two Big Ole Mugs of Coffee (half Caf/DeCaf) With splash of Slimfast LowCarb Vanilla Cream in each. 7:00 - Vanilla SF Carb Control Yogurt with handful of Post's CarbWell Cereal. And about 1/2 of a scoop of Strawberry Designer Whey. 9:30 - little Granny Smith Apple Followed almost instantly by A Venti Starbuck's with an extra shot! Touch more SfLCVC 12:00 - 4 chicken tender strips (Chick-Fill-A! Fried!) 4:00 - 1/2oz Sunflower kernels and some more Slimfast LowCarb in De-Caf _________________________________________________ Dinner close to 7:00 - Tonight is grilled Tuna and onions with Steamed zucchini. Going walking/running at 5:00! Shooting for 4 miles in 45 minutes So it will be combination run/walk. Walk, progress to power/fast walk, then jog / run, then fast walk to normal walking for cool-down. I've done this some the last few weeks. It seems to be good mid impact exercise. Best Wishes- Dx

hmm chicken! Love chicken strips! What no almonds nibbled on today? Thanks for the comment on the pic. I'm not sure I like it yet or not lol.

Well this day was so bad that I did not dare to use fitday for fear of burning it up. I made cookies and ate cookies(about6) I had dreamfield pasta and cheese, cheese sticks, ezekiel bread(2), chex mix, 2 triscuits,deli han and swiss,sf jello(had to be careful with the sugar after the cookies) a can of diet ginger ale,2 coffee with caffine(that gave me a jolt). I know there is more but I am ashamed to put it down. Now I have heart burn. I wonder why LOL. I really need to work at this tomorrow. Sure do like that new picture. Hugs, Betty

aaaaaaaaaaw ((((HUGS))) and to you!

hi Dx, would you do me a huge favor and post the recipe to that bacon-wrapped aspargus? I THINK it was you a long time ago that posted about it. I've got a serious craving for some reason. Nope!!!!! Not pg. Thanks

Delores, Not me with the Bacon-Wrapped asparagus. I do have an equally "naughty" asparagus recipe- Coat Asparagus spears with thin coat or Mayo. (could be low-fat) (with basting brush or just hands) Then roll in parmesan cheese as if "breading." Place on non-stick cookie sheet or parchment covered cookie pan. Put in oven on convection or bake at 350 until golden brown. Awsome!! I've also had with a touch of Dijon Mustard in the mayo. Someone else was wrapping them in bacon. Sounds like something I'd like. I will use crisp bacon as crumbles in small doses now and then But I do avoid that Bacon Fat. Best Wishes- Dx

Protein shake early 1/2 cup oatmeal tried it with an egg in it...not crazy about that but I managed to eat at least 1/2 of it. Okay...bad at 11:30 because I was busy at the office. MUNCHOS! A low fat kind of chip that is very salty and I love them. one 99 cent bag. 1:30 cottage cheese with peach fruit. Oh my gosh...I had more regular chips at 2:30. About 5. Tried to eat dinner out with a friend but the food was all fried so I had two teaspoons of fish tried to get the breading off. a spoonful of green beans, and a few pinto beans. I am going to make a cup of peppermint tea now and try to calm this tummy down! This is great because it does keep me honest! Came home at 7:00 and ate some peanuts (handful) and a biscuit which I know I get sick on and did! Two 16 oz of Propel today. Lousy food day but will try the oatmeal and egg tomorrow morning. I still have a hard time eating food. I think I mostly live on cottage cheese, carb countdown yogurt and protein shakes. I can do cheese and crackers, 4 at the most. Meat and I have not gotten along since surgery. I had smoked salmon on Sunday and that was lovely. I will finish that tomorrow. Must, must get rid of the Munchos! I still crave salt.

I hear you - I eat tons of cheese. It's a quick standby when nothing else sounds good. Eggs and oatmeal? Ugh. Not this gal - good luck! LOL I LOVE Munchos! They are evil!
