Ooh, that banana sounds good.  They're an annoying fruit - either too green or too brown and just right for only one day!! :-)

Anyways, I'm glad that your DH is doing better.  You musta been hungry missing breakfast - you're eating like a real dainty sparrow - is it your IC causing you issues?

You are so right about the bananas.  DH kept running out so I bought 2 batches and the 2nd one had to be thrown out.  It doesn't matter how green you buy them they don't last. Now I have to make several trips a week to buy bananas.

My IC has actually been pretty good.  I've finally got into the habit of taking the meds that help with the healing.

Stir Fry sounds wonderful!

I'm glad things are calming down for you!

Breakfast: 3 cups coffee with sf creamer,  Root beer float protein shake

Lunch: cheese tortellini soup. (tomato based)

Dinner:    baked chicken breast and spinach salad                              

Snacks : yogurt, half lg apple and PB, carrots and cucumber and ranch dip

Total nutrition: I don't count most days, if I have a gain I will reevaluate :)

Exercise/vitamins/water: zumba and stretches on youtube, vitamins by my side first 2 doses done, 20 oz protein shake and 36 oz of coffee gone, I think I will make a coffee pot full of hot tea when I am finished with this post :)

I've got to stop the rootbeer shakes...they are making me crave sweets! 

I think your menu sounds pretty good.  Maybe salt in the soup but I don't see anything that should make you gain.

I have a root beer float shake just about daily, I'm sure I will start mixing it up after the novelty wears off.  They are no sweeter to me than the chocolate ones, just a nice change from all the boring vanilla and chocolate I started with.  Now I use the mint cookie matrix, the syntrax lemon tea, vanilla GNC in the root beer and RTD premier protein  chocolate.   Usually one choice per day.

That's wonderful news Roz!  

Thanks!  We are pretty excited about it too!! 

Hurray for the good report.  DH did a pulmanary rehab last year and it really helped him.  they did exercises and class work with a lot of diet information.  It help him to hear all the stuff I had been telling him from someone else. 
Walked this morning, then drove Teke then work stuff.

decaf protein coffee 33g
eggbeaters, cheese, kale, salsa
lemon tea protein  13g
pork loin, brussel sprouts
lemon tea protein  13g
chicken stir fry
protein shake (or hot chocolate depending on how hot or cold I am)

 DH was fighting me on going to the cardio rehab but he is glad he decided to go. It has taken a lot of fear of his life changing after a heart attack.  He was convinced he would never be able to archery hunt or play softball again.  And yes...they do listen to someone else better than they do us.  Although did DH did come home and said that the lady was bossy just like me...LOL.

Sounds Good Price!
