Keeping it honest....

Monday for me: B: one cup oatmeal with 1/2 scoop protein powder s: a couple of large strawberries and some raw vegetables l: 2 oz deli turkey, 2 slices low calorie bread, salad, raw veggies. Boy, the bread and raw veggies fills me up, it took me about my whole lunch hour to eat this. s: cup of soup, couple of handfuls of popcorn s: a few bites of lasagne left over from sunday and some salad lots of coffee. I was probably really quite low on calories, but that's ok, still trying to drop a couple of pounds back off. Angie

Between you and Dx I'm craving berries again lol. Sigh...

Well, they are really not the best right now, but saw them in the store on sale and thought I would give it a go.

I think that might be what kind of killed me on berries - I bought and picked through too many bad pints and pound containers. Very frustrating and not many 'good' flavorful ones.

Ooh I had a good day yesterday. I started my day with some chicken soup (chicken, broth, and veggies.) 2nd feeding was 1/2 C. crab meat and 6 crackers (been on a seafood kick lately) 3rd go-around was more of the soup. Then one of those SF Russell Stover minis with my coffee. 4th feeding was 4 oz.s of sharp cheddar and 4 crackers. (I bought the crackers to go with the cheeseball I made for a party over the weekend. I don't normally have them in the house, but since I do..........) And my evening snack was a couple more ounces of the cheese dipped in peanut butter. I really need to start tracking everything again...this might be a little low. But I've been flirting with GOAL for the last couple of weeks and even though it's only a number I'd sure get a kick out of hitting it. Actually I DID hit it over the weekend, but then I jumped back up a pound. I'm not counting it 'till I stay there for longer than a day.

I think it counts...dehydration or not LOL

Well, here it is. I really have a hard time to eat and I am wanting to get in extra protein. So I had, ezekiel cinn. raisin toast with 1 tab. P.b.( didn't eat all of it), 2 oz. chicken liver ( ate 1 oz) a forkful of noodles, 1/2 c yellow jello, 1/2 cup homemade chicken veggie soup(that tasted good) and I will try to eat 2 cheese sticks but do not know for sure. I can't wait to get rid of some of this hardware. Maybe I will have less pain. I have 6 pounds to lose to be down the 31 that they took off. 18 pounds from doctors goal Have a good evening, Hugs,Betty

Isn't it weird to weigh more than your weight minus the removal? Freaky! Glad you're up and about (mostly lol).

I seem to be behind all the time on these posts, but I like to think about how I've been doing. Yesterday and today I exercised because I just bought an Urban Rebounder and I've enjoyed it the last 2 days. I did 1/2 hour each day and today I also did the stepper for 1/2 hour. Total calories today: 1186 Carbs: 97 Protein: 115 I might have to try that mozzarella/garlic stick thing, though. Or grapes.

Oh heck, behind, ahead - doesn't matter to me lol. 1186 is good! And lots of protein! Goooo you! The moz and garlic IS yummy. Wish I could take credit for it. Someone posted it on the mainboard and I got hooked.
