Sunday, March 4th, Cardio & Cafe

Good Morning Botts:

It is a lovely Sunday morning here in Mississippi a little cool but temperatures will be climbing back in the low 60's today.  I actually took a 3 mile walk in my neighborhood yesterday afternoon.  It was good to see what is going on around the neighborhood.  My eats and cardio for today are:

Prebreakfast:  Coffee & Miralax
Breakfast:  Oatmeal Cereal
Snack: Quest Brownie Bar
Lunch:  Grill Chicken Breast
Snack:  Protein Vanilla Pudding
Dinner:  Roast Beef and Green Beans
Snack:  NSA Ice Cream Sandwich

Edit:  I decided to go to the gym anyways.  I burned 507 calories on the treadmill and did 20 minutes strength training on the legs and arm machines.  Good Sweat.  Still going to walk this afternoon too.

Exercise:  I will be walking a hour in the neighborhood again today.  Love getting out of the gym.  Don't forget your vitamins and fluids and have a great Sunday.

 I love this site and appreciate all the help I can get.  I had Roux-en-Y done in 2006 and have gained around 30 pounds . Now I'm really working on getting it back off.  I forget what it takes to get the weight back off.  I look to see what other members are doing. You are doing great and I love you posts. Viva 

Thank Viva:

I noticed that you and I had surgery about a week apart.  I have my six year anniversary coming up on the 14th.  If I can help you in anyway don't hestitate to ask.  We can all do this as long as we stay consistent with it.  Good luck on your journey!

 Thank you so much for your help. My six year anniversary will be on the 7th.  I go for my blood work tomorrow and see the doctor on the 22.  Yearly check up I always make sure I get everything done so I know.  Thank you for your help.  Viva

Have a Great Day!

Beautiful day in LA. Low 80's. 
It was long day yesterday.  But so much fun.  As I suspected, had trouble eating enough. And once we got back into the hotel, I ate 6 meat sticks. All day was very low carbs.
This morning we gt up late and just relaxed a bit. Getting ready to go out again.  In  meantime I think my BS got too low (shaking a bit) so I am stuffing my face with food.  (strawberry ad nuts - that is the only food that I have handy that has carbs) 
eats today:
coffee + almond milk
Quest bar
strawberry and nuts. 
plan: 
salad or veggies and meat
quest bar
dinner: proteins and veggies. 

lots of walking... 

Weekends are way too short! Today went well. It was a 'veg' day for us for the most part (apart from laundry).

My food intake for today:

Breakfast 1 - 06:30am
None

Breakfast 2 - 08:30am
1/2 cup lowfat 2% cottage cheese
1/4 crushed pineapple

Snack 1 - 11am
1 apple
2 tbsp peanut butter

Lunch - 2pm
Breakfast was so yummy, I had it twice!
1/2 cup lowfat 2% cottage cheese
1/4 crushed pineapple

Snack 2 - 3:30pm
4 mini peeled carrots

Dinner - 6:30pm
6oz rubbed pork roast
1c roasted carrots, onions, potatoes

Snack 3 - 8:00pm
1 SlimFast Peanut Butter Crunch bar

Excercise:
Initial test for the 4 six-week fitness challenges (200 situps, 100 pushups, 150 dips, 200 squats):
Situps - 27
Pushups - 10
Dips - 10
Squats - 25
Cardio - stationary bike 30 minutes

Totals for the day:
Calories: 1060
Fat: 42g
Net Carbs: 98g
Protein: 61g
Water: 7 glasses

I am down 2.5lbs total for the week and I'm thrilled. The scale is going in the right direction. I'm not hungry. I do crave sweets in the late afternoon, but with the increase in protein I'm noticing less of that.

i run the numbers in my head and the calories don't look right. Unless these are net calories = food calories - exercise.

42 fat x 9 =372 cal
110 prot x 4 = 440 cal
116 carb x 4 = 464 cal
total: 1276 cal.

Actually you're correct.  Its a typo.  I copy/paste my template for the formatting of the post but didnt go back in and change all of the final daily totals.  Thanks for the catch!
