Menus and Miles Wed. Jan. 26th

WOW the posts on the Board since yesterday.  I'm never going to get caught up!!!!!   DD and DGD#4 are doing good.  I'll post a picture as soon as I get some free time.

Hello to all of my Lightweights!!!  If you are visiting WELCOME....PLEASE JOIN US and POST!!!!!

Writing everything down has helped me so much!!! I would really like to see some more posters.  Seeing what is working for others helps the rest of us put some variety into our meals.   It's very important until you reach Goal to figure out your Calories, Fats, Carbs, and Proteins so that you know what your body needs to lose and then to maintain!!!!

Morning Roz; I was thinking about your new DGD and how wonderful new babies smell (well most of the time).  Hope everyone is doing great.

Still don't feel like eating, but am sticking to my schedule of 3 meals a day.  Not sure if it is that I am having some real food (albeit soft) or that it really is a chore to eat, so easier to not do it.....I am not complaining one little bit, just trying to figure it out.  So much better than before surgery.

I remember you saying that you had to remind yourself to eat early out.  I am not losing weight any faster, same rate, so I will just go with it.  I am losing about 1.5 kgs a week.  I so wish that would stay! 

B- protein shake (30 g)
L - oatmeal  with protein powder (30 g)
D-poached salmon (20 g) and cauliflower
S-1/2 protein bar (14 g)

Snowing again here, no surprise there, so will shovel my way to the chicken coop!

vitamins done
2 litres of crystal lite

Roz, great to hear that all is well with your DD and DGD#4! Ginny, you must be burning calories like craxy with all that snow shoveling.

I saw my surgeon and RD yesterday. Some interesting things to share but will do that in a separate post later. Overall, I got the thumbs up both for my weight loss and eating plan.

My eats today are:

B- protein drink (40 g)
S- greek yogurt w SF preserve (18)
L- LF tuna salad w 5 thin wafer crackers (14 g)

Good to hear the family is doing good! Are sugar alcohols in protein bars counted as carbs? I'm a little confused about it! Anyways, going for a 3 mile run shortly here and then i'll be doing homework all day...

Hi, Rebecca,

Not  sure about the sugar alcohol.  I usually count it as sugar and then take the carb count as reported. 

My RD told me yesterday to limit protein bars but the best choices are Pure Protein and South Beach.  I have not tried them yet.

Amy 

The bars I got are the Pure Protein ones...I usually only have them once in a while, they don't taste horrible and it's better than drinking a warm protein shake at school haha. They do give your mouth kind of a workout though...Thanks Amy!

Good morning Roz and LW's,

I am so glad to hear the fam is doing great. Can't wait to see pics :)

Today is my long day so we'll see if I packed enough. There is a salad bar fund raiser here @ work. Just in case it doesn't look good, I brought back up food...lol
I have also decided that since the biscotti snuck back on board that I would replace it with a wonderful protein bar. Ha...somehow it's not just the same...lol
