Hi Roz!

I'm pretty much sticking to my eating plan.  Not many deviations, and none that would totally throw me off-kilter.  I hope to get to the office to use the gym today.  On Friday I'm having my colonoscopy, so tomorrow is "prep" day so NOT going anywhere!

B - steak and an egg

L -

D -

Vits:  yes

water:  drinking my tea

Good luck for Friday - I hope it goes well.

When I had my colon done the prep was pretty easy.  I think I took 4  pills and drank a little but I guess our Drs. have changed the prep and I have heard it is pretty nasty.   Once the prep is over the rest is a breeze!

Much better today and hoping to get back to normal, whatever that is, soon.  Walked with Thor this morning but will miss muscle pump today since I have a board meeting.

decaf protein coffee 33g
kale, cheese, eggbeaters
lemon tea protein  13g
bean/ham soup w/ cheese
lemon tea protein  13
burger on carbquick bun
protein shake  33g

Glad you are feeling better.  I don't do well on pain meds or pain.......

Sounds Yummy!  

I had wrote and asked you what you thought about the carbquik (good, bad, don't care) and you might have responded but with me not feeling well I kind of fell behind in my posts and I might have missed it. I consider you are low carb expert.

Between you not feeling well and my tooth, I think I missed answering it.  I like the carbquick but I really haven't switched over to it for everything for the family.  I use it for the cheddar rolls that I can make sandwiches with or use for cheese toast breakfast when I am in a hurry.  I just made some more of the cinnamon muffins and they are good but never have been as good as they were the first time because I can't make myself use as much butter as it calls for.  They are good when I want something sweet.  I do feel like I am cheating when I eat the stuff made with it.  I'm too cheap to use it for stuff for the family, LOL.  I keep the stuff just for me.  I forgot to order more when I ordered protein last time but I have the flour that I haven't opened at all yet.  I guess soon it will be time to figure out how to use that.

I rarely eat bread and I am having a hard time accepting this as being low carb.  Maybe I enjoy them to much. I feel if I have to talk myself out of wanting something it probably isn't good for me.  I actually like the muffins straight from the freezer which doesn't help with control. I just made  banana ones and I think they set me up for cravings.

Sorry to be a no show this week - been having internet issues at home due to road works in town! 

B:  Protein powder in yogurt = 38g

L:  3 slices deli chicken w/ humous and 3 slices of yellow pepper = 14g

S:  Lemon ice tea protein = 23

D:  Ricotta w/ tomato sauce = 8g

Vits and water all good.  Painted all the base boards on the stairs and chair railings so moved a bit.  

We all get busy at times so your apology accecpted....LOL.

Sounds Good!
