Hi guys,
This is the last real day of our vacation, we travel home tomorrow. Anyway, today is another day of driving the golf cart for me. Poor hubby has not played well the entire trip but he's bound and determined to keep trying. Tonight we are signed up for a Winemaker's dinner--5 course meal with appropriate wine pairings at each one. Should be interesting. I'll be watching DH to make sure he doesn't lick his steak knife in front of everyone. {sigh}

I'm getting PLENTY of protein....WHY am I "thinking" of food all day long?????  This is the first time since surgery I've been this way!!!!!

to me Ure eating way too much fat ... when I eat at  a fast food place the next day .. i crave MORE fast food  though i guarantee the day before it made me feel SICK .  

Its the high fat content for me ..its a rebound effect .. the more U eat  the more stomach acid U produce .. the hungrier you are 

It's 9:30 and I am just now getting around to this.  Very busy day and no playing of any kind.  Getting ready to have my protein shake and go to bed.

decaf protein coffee  33g
2 eggs, sausage
cream of broccoli soup, salad
lemon tea protein  13g
small red potato
chicken salad, green beans
protein shake  33g

greek dolmas ( rice wrapped in grape leaves in lemon juice / olive oil marinade )  about 10 last nite and this morning - one gram fat each .

curried chicken salad w baby field greens , edamame , roasted squash , quinoa and fat free dressing .

lunch - marinated broiled  colossal shrimp w butter buds ... pasta salad w eggplant , fresh tomatoes , broccoli  from garden .

For the record I'M THOROUGHLY SICK OF PASTA  BUT LANDLORD FLATLY  REFUSES TO EAT  RICE AND BEANS !!!! 

breakfast was chai tea lattes and a couple of dolmas

I'm trying to encourage myself to start running and rollerblading in the mornings again ... its like getting a creaking fully stopped machine to take its first steps lol .. where ARE  the sneakers ?  the workout bras ?  the headphones n charged i phone lol ... sunscreen .. ponytail holders , lightweight housekeys ... you know what I'm EXCITED  to finally start showing up for myself after this exhausting and thoroughly draining one sided " marriage " where I think I was just considered a workhorse to be mercilessly used , financially starved and unappreciated literally to DEATH ( like his previous wife ) .  I Thank God for the loving friends who helped support my  ESCAPE from that trap .. and the efforts to build a far better more productive  meaningful life  .((()))
