Menus and Miles Tuesday Nov. 9th

Have you tried anything new lately? 

I've been experimenting with warm drinks and I realized that my GNC can be pretty hot and not clump but what a mess I had when I tried to make my Syntrax Lemon Tea hot.

Hi Roz and everyone.
Same old Same old for me.  I know I'm such a creature of habit.  Work is really stressing me out right now and it is really affecting my eating.  It is really hard to get food down because my pouch feels sooo tight.  My supper got stuck last night and it took about an hour(and 3 of the enzyme pills) for it to go down.  I'm working on lunch now - we will see...
Today's plan:
B:  Protein Decaf coffee
S:  Decaf Coffee
S:  Fuzzy Navel Protein Drink
L: Cheeseburger crumbled, 1/4 cup turnip greens
S:  Lemon Tea Protein Drink
D:  Red. Sugar Peanut Butter, SF Grape Jelly on Very Thin Whole Wheat Bread
S:  Greek Yogurt, 1/3 cup NSA Cherry Pie Filling, 1 tsp SF/FF Cheesecake Pudding Mix, 4 tbls lite cool whip

d= can tuna with lemon
s= choco protein drink
s= sf jello pudding
today is the last day of the 5 day pouch test
(thank god) i cant wait to eat my veggies and my protein bars thats what i miss the most

 protein tea s in the morning 

okra /cheese  cornbread  with  fatfree  refried cheesy beans 

protein coffee with frangelico midafternoon 

air popped popcorn as a snack

my food has been pretty great lately .   Havent been temptedto overeat  except for some candy  that hangs around the car for the workers .   I try to makeit fat free .   I notice THEY  dont seem to obsess about it at all  whereas i always know where it is and how much is left ....hmmm...

sugar is a baddie for me  and  it really doesnt taste all that good .... so i  needto stop ...

the construction site has been cleared out of all its cast iron radiators old refrigerators  and such .   I could pay my men handsomely and go grocery shopping , fill my gastank  and had a tidy profit left over  !    Im really  loving this new Ava ..  she  of the  leather jumpsuit  ( with a thousand layers underneath) and the patience  and COMPETENCE .

Never  really realized how much I  lost due to overeating ....every single DAY .  How much of my personality , my selfrespect  my ability to complete  things , my energy  and health .... 

Im getting married in a week.  Ive  decided its going to be a trial marriage for now .   I need him  to actually GET the house  which  he may or may not be able to actually do  for me to commit .. also  a real prenup and I NEED him to  straighten out his debt situation before  i  consider partnering up with him financially .   But we can live together  .. see how it goes ... ;) 

I think its a good compromise  and also a good one in the light of the rapid changes im making in terms of recovery . I may  be a different person a year from now  and  may WANT my freedom.... but it will  be a valuable learning experience... one way or the other ...
