Monday - What's Up and Eats

I had a not so great eating on Saturday but got back on track yesterday.  While I'm not thrilled with Saturday, I'm happy that I got back to it yesterday.  I think part of it is that I needed to do our taxes this weekend and I didn't want to (whining here lol).  Logically, how dumb that I indulged in a carb fest to avoid and procrastinate about the taxes but that's what I did.  I didn't do the taxes yesterday either but still got on track so I'm happy about that.

My eats today:

B - Coffee

L - Ham steak, steamed broccoli

D - Chicken breast and green beans

S - 1/2 Quest protein bar, choc. peanut butter

Have a healthy day!

Good morning and good job getting back on track Cathy. Last evening before I left for work I was worrying about the hour drive in the snow and I mindlessly stood and ate a handful of mini peppermint patties. Distracted eating and grazing are two of my most difficult challenges and when I'm tired I have to be extra vigilant. I did OK at work and only had some grilled chicken and vegetable soup. Today I will sleep and just have a snack (apple with almond butter) and dinner (meatballs with a salad). 

I hope everyone has a good day.

Old habits die hard !    Eating to avoid something else.....I think we have ALL been there !

I did OK with my eating this weekend.  Picked up my Bountiful Basket on Saturday and then went home and either cooked it or prepared it for the freezer.  Nibbled on fresh strawberries that were better than any I can buy at local store and the pineapple was probably the best one I have ever eaten !  Love Bountiful Baskets !!

Hi!  I am new around here.  Had rny in Sept 2012 and have done well but have gained 15 lbs from my lowest and 10 from where I was comfortable.  So, here I am!  I have tried many different approaches to deal with this.  The last few days have been really good and I think I have found some things that are working.  This is clearly going to be a long term thing i deal with. 

B:  egg casserole (2 eggs, splash milk, 1/2 oz cheese and zucchini/onions/peppers)

L:  big salad, 3/4 c cottage cheese and 1 T dressing, tangerine

S:  depends on how hungry I am, either 1 oz dry roasted edamame or something from a convenience store (turkey slices, cheese slices maybe)

D:  4 oz Korean sliced beef with3/4 asian red cabbage slaw.  The yummiest thing ever!

S:  sf hot cocoa

Exercise:  dance/yoga/tai chi/hula hooping in my living room after the kids go to bed. 

I feel good about getting back on track. 

Weighed in this weekend and no weight loss.  I really can't think of anything else to do.  Did some reading as suggested by someone on the forum and will cut back on my protein a bit to see if this works.

B-protein shake

L-chicken and spinach

D-salmon and broccoli  

S-nuts
