Keeping it honest - Friday...

could have been MUCH worse!

I've been doing very well lately and I don't exactly know what the difference is, but I'm glad for it. Friday's count was: Calories 1,337 Carbs 85 Protein 96 I can live with that! I also have been using Fitday to track everything right from the beginning and have my vitamins and supplements in as a custom food. I take extra magnesium with vitamin D because even with the extra boost, I still have horrible leg and foot cramps. I don't think I'm deficient in anything. Tooter, where did you get the folate information? Is there a USDA recommendation for it or something I'm missing somewhere?? The best news on my eating is that I'm right where I should be on the scale. It's not an accurate measure, I realize, but it's a good guideline. Jan

The U.S. RDA for folate is 400 micrograms per day. In fitday it's listed in the reports under Am I meeting my daily nutrient needs...yesterday I was only at 52% of the RDA on it. Sometimes I supplement it - I may go back to doing that. Have to discuss it with my nut.... How's your potassium and/or vitamin E and A intake and/or levels?

I guess I never really saw that before. I took a look at the last 7 days and I'm at 92% of the RDA for carbs, and only 61% for fiber. I'm at 101% for phosphorus and 336% for folate. I seem to be at nearly 300% for most of the nutrients except for fiber and carbs. Strange! But interesting!

Considering it was granddaughter's 2nd birthday celebration, I did great! B - 2 hard-boiled eggs (ran out of egg muffins), 2 slices of nuked bacon S - Cottage cheese w/splenda & cinnamon L - Salad with grilled chicken (at a restaurant); passed up the bread basket, even though they had olive oil to dip it in S - Large golden delicious apple Later snack - because dinner was going to be late: handful of nuts/seeds and a cup of hot tea D - very small portion of fabulous homemade lasagna; large portion of salad (no bread or dessert) With all that, I am down another pound! Woohoo!!!! Betsy

WOOHOO on that pound! They each count

Awww...crud! I didn't eat much...and, what I did eat was crappity-crap-crap-crap. Ack! Lender's onion bagel w/ chive and onion cream cheese 3 oz. roast beef 2 string cheese 160+ oz. water (At least I did SOMETHING right today! ) Two 'shots' of Nyquil and three 'shots' of Robitussin...can you say 'feeling froggy'? ~~Sherry

Lady, have you been in to see your doctor yet???

Yeah...he told me to try the Nyquil and Robitussin over the weekend...if it doesn't improve, he'll prescribe something on Monday. I DO love you for worrying about me. (((Hugs))) ~~Sherry

was just wondering where you put your flax seeds on a day like today's food?
