keeping it honest...Sunday

Thanks everyone, for the advice, suggestions, etc in the weekend post....I TRULY appreciate it!!! Unfortunately, on weekends I don't have much time to post anymore...so I'll try really hard to post "keeping it honest" during the week and one on sunday night for what I ate over the weekend. This really IS for me - and any who care to post to it - woohoo - that helps me too! (((HUGS))) Ok, Saturday turned out a bit higher in calories (which is ok), and my sugars stayed level enough I didn't notice them going off. Today (Sunday) was fairly good too. I can say this, the busier I am the more fluids I consume AND I noticed that the more fluids I consume the less my sugars crash...so maybe, just maybe it's a fluid issue. I'm going to keep an eye on this and see what happens over the next week or so. Ok, todays menu: Moz Cheese Sticks (3) toast (no crust) w/ butter and pb and flax Dominos - hey SuperBowl...even if we lost 2 medium slices w/ double toppings (didn't eat the doughy end of the crust) Strawberries (fresh yummmm!) Moz Cheese Sticks (3) Calories: 1699 Protein: 100 Carbs: 145 Fiber: 25 Net Carbs: 120 Doable - hope you're weekend was good!

1. low sugar apples & cinnamon oatmeal 2. 6 saltines with lowfat veggie cream cheese 3. handful reduced fat wheat thins (because I was lazy!) 4. 2 oz homemade chicken teriyaki - made with real teriyaki sauce, mushrooms, cabbage and bean sprouts (cause I wasn't lazy! lol) 5. handful of peanuts 6. 1/2 cup sf choc pudding vitamins, but I completely forgot my calcium... not nearly enough fluids either. Weekends seem to be the hardest for me. I get all off schedule, and off kilter. Well now its Monday, and I'm back on good behavior! Michele

weekends - me too! Totally throws me off - and Mondays are included because Dan has three-day weekends. Sooo you gonna come make me some of that yummy teriyaki??? Dayum!

Hi Tooter! Sounds like you had a really good weekend. Mine wasn't so good. I'm still really struggling, and I have to grudgingly admit that I think too many bad carbs are the culprit. I try to kid myself that I can eat like a "normal" person now, but who am I kidding, I'll never be "normal". Carbs are not my friend, and never will be. I really need to commit to getting back to basics and quit fooling around. I'm starting the day like this: B- 3 part-skim mozerella cheese sticks. Not sure about the rest of the day yet, but I will come back and post an update later. I'm just getting really discouraged. Lelina 298/164.5 (19.5 pounds gained above goal, and NOT happy!)

Well you had a good start! How'd it turn out? You so do not want to know what I ate today! It was not a good food day at all!

Yeah on the vits and fluids!!! (See I always find SOMETHING good to say ). Hope you feel better!!!! (((HUGS)))

Sunday is usually the day that I allow myself some things I don't normally eat. B: Egg with a little cheese, 1 slice bacon, small amount of grits, toast with a little jelly s: strawberries with sugar free chocolate pudding and cool whip afternoon: I made potato soup and some cookies with toffee bits, chocolate chips and nuts. Ate a bowl of soup, nibbled on some cookies. Made my husband some super bowl snacks, hot wings, pigs in blankets, pizza, nibbled on a small piece of pizza, one hot wing before bed: ate TWO of the cookies and paid for it! I was ok after one, but just had to have the other one and got so nauseated for about 45 minutes. Maybe the memory will keep me away from them. Don't know why I had to go and make cookies! Today I have had some oatmeal with strawberries and cottage cheese. My sweet husband bought me an elliptical machine Saturday and put it together yesterday. It is set up in our extra room that has our extra big screen tv in it, so I am ready to start my exercising again. I just haven't been motivated to go to the gym lately, so I am just going to cancel my membership and do my elliptical at night while I watch tv. I don't know why, everyone thinks I am crazy (which I probably am), but I want to lose 5 or 10 more pounds. I still feel fat but I think it is because of the skin issues I still have. If only I could afford my plastic surgery. I am friends with a ps and he is going to discount for me, but I still have to come up with the money and the time off work, which is impossible right now, so in the meantime I will exercise and try to lose a few more pounds. Angie -

Wow a great husband AND a friendly PS. Dang! Lucky lady I hope you find the time and money!

Yea, well, the bad thing about being friends with a plastic surgeon is the reality of going into his office for a consulation after being social with the man for a year! I had even went to see a different ps because of knowing Tom like I did and couldn't imagine going in and stripping in front of him and let him see me in my full unclothed state (which ain't pretty at all). He kept asking me for over six months to just come see him, he understood what I was dealing with and I finally got the nerve to go last month. It was worse than seeing a ps you didn't know and he was much more hands on than the other one, measuring me and whatnot. At least he didn't take the pictures himself like the other one did, his nurse did that. Anyway, needless to say it was hard to look him in the eyes the next time I saw him! But funny thing is, even after being so embarassed, I ended up at his house the same night I saw him in his office. After a couple glasses of wine, it didn't seem like such a big deal! He dates a friend of mine so I see him once or twice a week usually. I am almost over the embarassment at this point!
