Tuesday eats

Home today sick.  Not flu sick, but inner ear issue sick.  Need to find ways to take care of myself without the comfort of food.  I still don't know why sick=food.  

B-omelette 

L-salmon 

D-turkey burger and spinach

S-almond butter

I have cut back a bit on protein and added some fat.  Will see if this gets the scale to move. I am still getting at least 70 grams of protein per day.  Still keeping the carbs at 20.  Doing better with my vitamins every day.  Water is also always good. Shoveling snow seems to be my new form of exercise these days.  Did quite a bit yesterday and hear more snow is on the way for the next 2 days.  

Wishing everyone a peaceful and joyful day.

I hope you get better quick !! 

I am having coffee and thyroid meds, lol. then breakfast might be a greek yogurt or scrambled eggs.  L: im guessing will be a tuna pack, and D: is up in the air, my daughter has her softball tryouts right at dinner time.go figure! 

 

Gee sorry you feel sick.  I always want comfort food then too.  Doesn't really make me feel  better just a head thing I guess.  I guess we need new comfort foods!

I haven't heard about cutting back on protein and increasing fat to boost the scale.  Can you share a little more info?  I am anxious to hear how it is working for you.  Some days I think the only thing that will make that d**N scale move is a shot gun!  LOL

B & L protein shakes

s raw veggies

D baked salmon (new reciepe)

s sf jello maybe protein shake

I posted a thread in this forum a few days ago titled Regain.  You can check it out and see what you think.  I did well in maintenance for quite some time with my protein at 60-70 and carbs around 40-50.  Since I am trying to lose the regain, I reduced carbs to 20 and upped my protein. I have been kind of stuck and was reaching out to see how others have lost their regain. After some reading, I thought I would modify it a bit and give it a try. 

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the well wishes.  I have a chronic health issue which involves my inner ear, balance, vertigo, hearing loss etc. It is something I have learned to live with for about 18 years.  Some days it is just worst than others.  Today is just one of those days.  I found  a book 5 years ago that helped with modifying my diet.  It can be very limiting, but it has reduced my vertigo attacks by about 90%.  That is one of the reasons my food looks the same most of the time.  Between that and following my food plan for weight loss and maintenance I just don't have many options.  Its all good.  I still have off days no matter what I eat and today is one of those days. 

So sorry to hear you're not feeling well.  Take care of yourself and feel better.  

You aren't alone in your sick=food.  I'm right there with you.  Sick or tired = food for me.

My update for today is about the IRS and taxes.  Remember last weekend was doing taxes and I procrastinated??  Well, we received a letter from the IRS about our taxes that we just filed for 2014.  I knew that wasn't true because I haven't done them yet!  We were alarmed so my husband tried to call this morning and couldn't get through.  He took off today and went down to the local IRS office.  Long story short is that someone tried to file a tax return for me.  That raised a red flag for the IRS because we've filed jointly for a long time.  Next, an attempt was made to file tax returns for both my hubby and I, and listed my name first instead of our normal where he is first and I'm second.  From these two minor things, they sent the letter to us THANKFULLY!  

The representative told my husband that they are having a record year of fraudulent attempts to file tax returns.  She told him that it has tripled since last year!  We have to fill out some forms and cannot file electronically which are no problem.  

Message:  Procrastination pays off sometimes LOL.  Seriously though, if I'd done them this weekend, we wouldn't have known about this until much later.  

Now the next problem is that our identities have been stolen including our SSNs.  I'm VERY cautious about my identity and certainly my SSN. About 10 years ago my identity was stolen so I've been overly cautious since then.  The IRS rep told us that someone bought or stole a database similar to what's happened to Target and other businesses.  Very frustrating, especially when I'm so cautious about our info.

Thanks for reading my vent!

Here's my eats today:

B - Coffee

L - Turkey sandwich

D - Grilled chicken with steamed broccoli

S - Apple w/2 T. peanut butter

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy day!!

Cathy, so sorry for your troubles.  It is so scary identity theft can be a nightmare.  Something happened recently with Anthem and I was notified by my employer that my health insurance information was part of the hack.  So they have my name, address and SS#.  I have to complete paperwork and sign up for credit reporting.  Something else to worry about.  So glad the IRS appears to be doing its job. Good luck

So frustrated with myself that I haven't been posting. I start out with a perfect breakfast, get a great workout in, then by lunch or between lunch and dinner, I blow it. I write in my journal, workout, use MFP, and still, I succumb to the cravings.
