Menus and Miles Monday March 20th

My husband makes me promise all of the time not to put him a nursing home when he gets older. I'm going to feel so guilty if it gets to that point. Me on the other hand tell my girls to just take me and drop me off because I don't want to be a burden to any one.

I need to find some crunchy stuff to put in my yogurt that won't add to many carbs....any suggestions?

Sounds Good!

I'm really liking the thin sliced almonds. They're roasted/toasted so they're crunchy and not overly filling.

Day 2 of my reformed life. I do feel better not eating so many carbs. My surgeon wanted me to lose 90 lbs. but I lost 70. Instead of forging ahead and losing that 20 lbs., I stopped. It felt so good to shop in the Misses department and to wear size 14. I did maintain my loss for several years then I got careless. From Thanksgiving thru Christmas, I lost my mind. I baked all kinds of goodies and sampled all of them. It was like once I got the taste of carbs I wanted more and more. They are addictive. My slacks I was so proud of with a waistband and zipper do not fit. I hung a pair outside my closet door to remind me.

Seeing the numbers on the scale a few days ago really hit me and made me decide I have to get back to a b

ariatric program for eating.

Today's eats:

Ideal Shake (12 g)

Premier Protein ( 20 g) - it has 30 grams of protein but I don't like the taste so only drank about 3/4

Taco meat, beans & cheese without the chips

Roadside Lemonade mixed in water (20 g)

Power Crunch Bar (13 g)

Pork chop; salad

I do get on the scale every day but the way my dress pants fit me is the real way I decide how I'm doing. Yes Carbs are soooo good and they are soooooo addicting!!! I fall into that trap every one in awhile but fortunately I come to my senses fairly quickly. I don't want anyone to ever look at me and think I'm gaining weight!!!!! I heard so many "failure" stories from relatives (mainly from my brother) before my surgery it keeps me on track and I come to my senses fairly quickly.

Protein totals seem like they should be pretty good today!!!
