Menus and Miles Monday Aug. 29th

Hi Roz!  Well, I'm back.  My vitamins were so-so while on travel last week and my protein drinks were non-existent.  My intent was to buy a bag of protein at GNC while there, and I didn't.  I didn't even drink the little I took with me.  This is the first time in almost 3 years I've missed so many consecutive days.  But, one thing I'll say - is my BM's were consistent and loose.  I know my protein tends to bind me up sometimes.  My weight was stable too, which I'm thankful for.  Not really losing, but down 3 lbs from my heaviest and staying there. I didn't eat terrible while there, just on Saturday... but I'm back on track today.  It did make me think about the future and what may happen to me if I'm not able to be in control of my protein and vitamins...

B - 2 protein coffees and some regular coffee
L - edamame
s - spoonful of peanut butter
D - stir fry w/o rice

Vits: just calcium today.  bad me...
Water:  Just made a big pot of decaf ice tea - yummm!

I'm glad to hear that you are home safe and sound.  How did the trainings go?

It's really hard to stay on track when you aren't home.  I'm getting better at it but it does take a lot of planning and discipline (which is the killr for me). 

Good Menu!

Actually... I'm getting worse.  I used to be very good at it, and now just getting laxadaisical.

You understand how important your protein is so I'm sure the next trip will be better.

Good luck to your Mom today Roz.  I see you made some Egg Salad - hope it was good!!

Mom's did great!  The egg salad was great too!  I ate it in the waiting room.  I used it as dip for my saltines....lol.  It's funny how boiled eggs don't bother my pouch at all.

Good Menu!  Is the chocolate cake made with the flax seed or do you have another recipe?  The flax seed burnt my mouth and made it sore.

Roz, It is made with 2tbls of flour, not the flax seed.  I have the recipe at home.  It has 110 calories, I probably shouldn't have it much.....

I'd love to have the recipe.  Just every once in a while I need something sweet but I can't have a whole cake in the house.

I laughed when you said YUM to okra and potatoes.  When I make my DH vegetable soup he likes it when I remove all of the okra from the vegetables. 

Do you put anything on the baked pumpkin?  I love the seeds.  I'll have to remember to bake them when the DGchildren do their Jack-O-laterns.
