July 17

Good morning BOTTS

I am 211 this morning (normal weight for me is 145 lbs. so I have a long way to go).  I relost another pound this morning.  I am still 11 lbs. higher than my surgical weight, but a pound is a pound and I will take it.  Last night I ate a Jimmy Dean delight whole grain sandwich (not on the plan), Nutrisystem chocolate cake (planned) and Nutrisystem cheese puffs (not on the plan) because I was starving hungry.   The cheese puffs were 1.16 oz., 150 calories, 3 gms. of fiber and 8 gms. of protein.  I wish I could buy them separate from the box...what a great snack.  If I had any other junk food in the house I would have scarfed it down.  In the end it was only 1500 calories.  I have had many worse days than that. No more rationalizing...I will try to control myself today.  

My food plan:

B: Jimmy dean delight whole grain sandwich

S: low fat cheese and 2 plums

L: Nutrasystem cheese tortellini and a salad with fat free dressing

S: apple and 2 tbs. peanut butter

D: salmon, Thai peanut grains and 1 cup cooked Asian veggies

S: Nutrisystem chocolate chip cookies (fruit and veggies as needed)

I have a house full of guests arriving tomorrow, so I will continue cleaning the downstairs today.  I would love to go to the gym for a slow swim and sauna this afternoon...pending time.

Take care, TRi

 

Thats great! Congrats on the loss. How often do you weigh yourself? I've been really bad about stepping on the scale. I got to a point where it consumed my life so hubby took it away for awhile. When he put it back I was determined not to weight my self 5 and 6 times a day again so I stay far away from it. I need to find a happy medium. 

Found out Hubby got paid yesterday not next week so I went to Winco after work this morning and picked up a couple cases of water and a few other things to get me by until I can plan a menu for next week.  

Question: How close do you follow your calories and fat grams? MFP has calories set at 1280 without exercise and fat set at 36 for 80 protien and loosing 2lbs/week. Yesterday and today I will be over on fat grams by a couple and under on calories by 200 or so.  

I'm up at 330 for work so I have a snack before breakfast. 

S: Egg white from 1 hardboiled egg (the 2nd one exploded in the micro)

B: Cream of Wheat made with Milk for extra protein. (The 1 cup serving was too much for me to finish)

L: sliced deli ham, babybel light, small tossed spinach salad with lighthouse ff sesame ginger dressing

D: Pot roast, veggies, salad with new lighthouse greek yogurt ranch (going to try it )

S: protein bar

 

I can barely keep my eyes open and hubby wants to go to he movies tonight so I'm off to take a nap. Hope everyone is doing well today. 

 

My weight fluctuates a lot.  I weigh every morning so that I don't miss a new lost pound.  It goes up and down, up and down...then down a new pound.  I look at the trend of lowest pounds and don't worry about a 1 or 2 pound gain. It is my system...not for everyone.  When I stay off the scale for an extended period, I will gain.  Those pounds are hard to lose because they are 5 or 10 lb chunks.  

I don't count fat or protein because I am a diabetic and my biggest concern is sugar and refined carbs.  I look for hidden sugar on labels.  

My biggest problem is portion size.  I eat too many calories.  I burn 10 calories per pound of me.  Most of the time I eat a little over 2000 calories per day.  Thus I weigh a little over 200 lbs.  I know if I exercise 200 calories and eat 1800 calories (consistently) I could weigh 160 which would be great.  So why don't I do it?  I really hoped that the RNY would help me.  Tri

Congratulations on the loss. I hope to see my scale go down for next weigh in.
