My food for today:
Breakfast - mini frittata
Snack - protein drink
Lunch - ham and cheese roll w/pickle
Snack - protein drink
Dinner - chili
Snack - fage w/s.f. syrup
I hope that everyone has a great day!

Hi Deb:
Good to have you back! I am sorry about your week and your stress. A Doctor's visit took care of mine about two years ago. My eats and cardio for today are:
Prebreakfast: Coffee & Miralax
Breakfast: Chocolate Unjury Shake
Snack: Quest Brownie Bar
Lunch: Pure Protein Peanut Butter Bar
Snack: Cheese, crackers & Grapes
Dinner: Chicken Salad on whole wheat sandwich thins
Snack: NSA Skinny Cow ice cream sandwich
Cardio: 5:00 pm 1 Hour Walk on Treadmill
My exercise will be later this afternoon. We had a lot of storms come through last night so we didn't sleep much last night. We chose to exercise later and sleep that extra hour this morning. I hope everybody has a great day and don't forget your vits and fluids.

Tess...The Quest Bars - are they smooth or gritty? I can't eat any nuts - hard pieces - but I am looking to supplement my diet ... I can tolerate Power Crunch bars... but they are light...
I am looking for somthing that will not get stuck in the pouch... or it is too dense or too harsh...

Hala:
They are smooth but are really heavy and dense. They may sit in your pouch like a rock. The Natural Quest Bars are much smoother than the original bars but they are all super dense. I heat up the most of them for a brownie like texture. If I were you, I would order a couple of bars to test the water so to speak before investing in a box. The Cinnamon Roll, heated up, taste like a cookie dough and the brownie quest heated up taste just like a brownie to me. Both of those would probably be good choices for you to sample.

Thanks. I think I need to wait. Anything dense now is really hurting. I baked plain protein muffins to have something to chew... (eggs, proteins, fats, al milk) and just that was too much for my pouch...
I need to blend soups... so I may get the bars in 2-3 weeks... Until then... I will take it easy...

Good Morning!
Saturday was a bust. Went to a church event and over ate......paid for it when I got home. Sunday was good and felt so much better. Up early this morning so I decided to do my 30 minutes on the treadmill.......actually got in 31 mintues.
Breakfast - Unjury Chocolate Shake
rest of the day.........stay on plan but no pre-planned meals.
I love how you all pre-plan.........I probably should adopt that habit so I don't sabotage myself.
tomorrow is weigh-in day - hopefully at least one pound. Last week I did not gain or lose anything.
Wishing you all a great day!

Cold and rainy here. But we did not have any major storms.. I am so grateful for that.
Up early and plugging along. The flu is almost gone... I have control on the ulcer... so life is not too bad. Now I only need to deal with infrequent BM (every other day) ....Carafate.. low volume ...low fiber... low fat ... but I know how to handle that... so all is really good.
eats today:
coffee+ al milk
protein shake
protein shake
beets soup with egg..
chicken soup
yogurt with proteins
flatout wrap
cheese... maybe...
I do not tolerate fruits (too acidic) so this week only veggies and proteins, yogurt are on the menu.
Exercise - clean the house, pet the cat, chase the cat (she is stuck in the house so I will have to play with her....) laundry... etc... I may walk on a treadmill... but that after I do my chores...

Good Morning!
I really need to get a grip on the weekends. I lucked out and had a small pouch day Saturday. That combined with an ass kicking Zumba are all that saved me. I got up early Sunday and started out well with coffee, then protein bar. Then someone made biscuits. Yep, I had one that was made and handed to me...at least I didnt get up and fix it myself. DUMPed on that and had to take a nap. Followed that with Chinese for dinner. Great choice. At least I threw another protein bar in for good measure...
Working on today. One day, one meal at a time.
Coffee w/ cream
Turkey cheddar flatbread
Zone bar and yogurt
Grilled wings we didnt have the other day
Zumba tonight!!

Yeah, what can I say, weekends really blast my best intentions when it comes to eating, so bring on Monday and return to regimentation...
Sunday I was more careful with my choices than I was on Saturday, still came out of the deal DESTROYING my progress from the previous week & it makes me SOOO mad at myself I could spit nails
...
Moving on, its Monday : here's the plan
B : protein coffee followed immediately by almond croissant
S : fru-fru coffee
S : couples broken bits of cashew nuts
L : greek yogurt with banana, sf vanilla & pb, and kashi crunch mixed in
S : cheese stick
D : crockpot chili/lime chicken over saffron rice
Cardio : 45 mins of butt-kickin' Zumba & 1/4 mile around the neighborhood with the puppy...Sunday I tried a new class at my gym - AquaZumba, it was kinda cool, didn't feel like so much of a workout but the resistance for the zumba moves in the water was GREAT, so I think it was good...
Cals for the day : 923
