Menus and Miles Thursday Jan. 23rd

My liver enzymes are up a bit so I have stopped artificial sweeteners completely for the last two weeks, don't really miss them.

I think a cup of kashi go lean (i love it) has 13 gms protein and 150 calories.

i use extra powdered milk in my hot chocolate and in almost everything I bake to up the protein.

Really cold here today and I had to clean house and get ready for the training.  14 folks here.  At least it is over for a while.  I need to do another one next month with about the same # of folks. 

decaf protein coffee  33g
eggbeaters, cheese, turkey bacon
lemon tea protein  13g
carbquick roll, veggie burger
hot chocolate protein  30g
junk (chips, salsa, cheese, sausage, chocolate covered pretzels) at the training
protein shake  33g

I left a message at her office about the Powdered Milk. I can't drink regular milk but it says it is lactaid free.  Her secretary said the Dr. would check it out over the weekend and for me to call Monday.  I will probably just wait for my Appt. on Tuesday.  I almost bought some last night but decided to wait for her answer.

I have to get 12 hours of training a year but it's always on something that has nothing to do with my job. Such a waste of time.

I haven't tried cheese on my eggbeaters yet. Do you use American?  I know I'm allowed to have that kind.

I did thaw out a carbquik banana muffin a couple of nights ago and it tasted sooooo good but it cramped me so I won't be having another one any time soon.

Sounded good until the junk part.....LOL. You ended the day strong though!!!!

Hope you're doing better - I need to check out that link Gina posted for the fage protein drink...

My eating was not much today.  I had to watch the girls today and my fluid has been almost non-existent.  I need to get a little more in before bed.

B - coffee and 4 pieces of bacon

L - 1 1/2 nuked chicken thighs

D - breaded pork chop.  I found a recipe for a low-carb breading and OMG was it good! 

Recipe:  I doubled this as the recipe below is for 2 pork chops, I made 4 and had about 1/4 of the mixture left.

crunch up pork rinds in a blender - get about a cup (I crunched about 2/3 of the bag)

1/2 packet of ranch dressing (powder)

1/4 c of shake type parmesan cheese.

Mix all ingredients above.

Take the pork chops and pat dry.  Put salt/pepper on them

make a dredge of 1 egg and full fat cream (1 tbspn I think) and mix

take chops and put in egg mixture, then put in liquid mixture.  Sear on medium heat on both sides.

Preheat oven to 325.  After searing put in a sprayed casserole dish and bake for 25 minutes

You couldn't tell it wasn't flour - it was delicious!  Also - very moist. 

S - a drink of some type - preferably protein

Vits: no but will

water:  low

You might not have ate much but what you did eat sounds really good!!! 

I'll have to check out the pork rinds and see what's on them. I use to love those before WLS but I haven't had any since.

So happy you get to enjoy your grandbabies!! 

Be careful with the Pork Rinds - I think I ate too many last night and had a mini-dump... Wasn't typical dump symptoms, but had a horrible belly ache, burping like crazy and finally went to the bathroom, then I felt better.  

Not sure if it was related - but think it had something to do with it.
