Hope your party goes well.  My will power sucks at those things but if you can get full on protein, maybe you won't have much room for goodies.  DS and DH have the special needs bowling Christmas party tonight but I won't go.  I don't want them to all get sick and all they have is pizza.

It is rainy and cold here but I need to stay in anyway.  I am feeling much better.  Glad the bug was short lived (with all the vits I do, I did an extra D3, Zinc and C)  Working on stuff for accredidation, only 3 weeks away now.

decaf protein coffee  33g
eggbeaters, kale, cheese
chicken, little red potato
protein hot chocolate w/ milk  25g
pecans, orange
caribean cooler protein  13g
fish, maybe nothing else, the guys are gone

Other than a meatball there wasn't any Protein at this party.  I didn't do as well I wanted to.  I tried a few of their dips with a couple of chips. 

I'm glad you are feeling a little better.  Either DH or I always seem to get sick at Christmas.  I'm hoping this year will be different since we have less stress since DD moved.

Sounds Good!

Hmm... Christmas buffets, I'm yet to face one post DS but I have one coming soon.  I'll see how I get on! ;-)  Bloating keeps me away from flour, but potatoes are another thing!

When I'm bloated it doesn't take me long to figure out what I ate that caused it.  I just wished I thought about it before I put it in my mouth.

Good Protein Total!

Hi Roz! - just opened the blinds and it's snowing outside... we're supposed to get hit with that storm coming through - only 2-3" of snow but the winds will be 20-30mph and they said it could be blizzard conditions - oh fun!  AND - my son is flying in tomorrow... not good..

I have a podiatrist appointment this afternoon - then want to get some shopping done.  I played with the grandbabies last night - tonight I need to get some stuff done, especially with this weather coming.

B - coffee

S - a few squares of cheese 

L - 1 McD's grilled chicken snack wrap

S - protein hot chocolate

D - My daughter said leftovers...

Vits:  will go take them now.

Water:  

I heard on the news this morning about traveling going to be a nightmare.  Is your son coming home for the holiday?  We aren't suppose to get until late Saturday so I took tomorrow off and  I'm hoping to finish everything up.  We are going to start wrapping tonight.

Sounds Good!

My kitchen probably smells bad.  Put in a chicken breast to cook at 5 AM and forgot to take it out before I left the house.  I remembered it at 11:00 and had my friend go in to turn off my oven.  I guess the house didn't get to the smokey stage.  I'll have to bake another breast when I get home.

B: protien coffee

applesauce + fibre bar

L: latin black bean soup, 2 clementines

S: apple + SF pudding

D: chicken + salad

My DH is ALWAYS reminding me to turn off the oven.  Good thing he is a patient man!   Hopefully my house smells like the roast I have cooking in the crock pot.

Sounds Good! 

glad there was someone who could get it out.  I've been cooking dinner on 250 while I go to the gym.  I'm gone for 2+hours with drive time.  I wrap whatever in foil sealed well and so far it has been ok.  I hate the 5-6 classes because of messing up supper, horse care, etc.
