Eatin' Good In The 20's Neighborhood - Monday

I'm impatient lol.  I know you must be busy with school and Prudence and packing your wound and whatnot, Amy. MENU: B - 4 oz Protein pudding (21g) L - 1 chicken and apple sausage (10g) (I won't be having these any more...just don't sit right) S - 1oz monterey jack cheese (6g) D - 3 pizza bites w/ 1oz alfredo sauce for dipping (11g) Only 48g protein today.  I just didn't feel like eating.  The chicken sausage didn't settle and that added to the discomfort.  Try again tomorrow. MILES: I started a new interval training program where you go from high to low intensity over and over followed by a circuit training thing for weights.  I don't remember being this wussy before surgery...I guess I'm still recovering.  Anyway, 25 minutes cardio and 15 minutes of circuit. OTHER: Dropped 3 lbs last week!  232lbs

Jen,  I did pretty badly myself today!  Started on pureed, strange! B- 2 tbsp Malt o meal S- Protein Water L- Protein Shake S- Protein Water D- 2 tbsp weird Taco puree concoction. 54 oz fluids 42 g protein Will try and do better tomorrow!   My two week post appt is Wednesday, we shall see how it goes!

I tried to get back on track today...tryin to limit carbs for a variety of reasons and trying to stick to the 30 minutes before and after no drinking rules and three hour intervals between meals. I did pretty well, eating five times and drinking 80 oz of water... breakfast - coffee w. coffemate and a string cheese 30 minutes later am - string cheese and four slices of turkey and honey mustard lunch - a grilled chicken breast and honey mustard dinner - a bowl of veggies with ground turkey with a few whole wheat penne noodles, and a bit of tomato sauce and shreeded cheese 8 pm - string cheese and deli ham with honey mustard 11 pm - string cheese and a few slices of smoked turkey with what else? honey mustard of course! high protein, low-carb, and no grazing! Now, if I could just stay away from Costco....

I think you NEED Costco to buy string cheese in bulk LOL How on earth do you drink 80 oz of water??!  I can never get past 40 or 50, help!

I'm so glad you're there to back me up.  LOL.  As long as somebody posts this it's all good.  I got caught up in playing with my new phone last night and forgot.  Seems like there is a trend, because I did too many carbs yesterday too, and really blew it - stupid carbs! 6am - 1 ka****LC honey almond flax granola bar 8 oz 100% orange juice 8am - sf ff caramel macchiato w/ a double shot of espresso (Met w/ Dr. Baker, Prudence exploded, everyone went home happy) Noon - 4-5 chips w/ spinnach artichoke dip, 1 triangle of a chicken quesadilla from Applebee's 20 oz water 2 oz almond M&M's 5pm - 1 ka****LC honey almond flax granola bar 20 oz water 8pm - 1/4 Fontega Chicken Panini, 3 oz french onion soup, and 3 bites of a french baguette from  Panera Bread I think it is time to cut out the kashi bars - they are higher in carbs even if they are relatively low in sugar content and I think they are making me crave more carbs.  I didn't total my nut stats up yesterday because I already know it was bad.  I'm working on doing better today though!

I have three boxes of Kashi bars but I'm too scared to try them.  I'm afraid they'll be dry.  And I'm having a hard enough time fending off carb cravings and I barely even eat them.  DH had a bag of sour cream and cheddar chips on the fridge and I wanted them soooo bad.  I didn't, obviously.  But man they're sirens.
