Good Morning everyone! hope you had a wonderful Easter or at least a great weekend. Missed you all on friday. I was off on comp time making up for working last weekend so I didnt sign on. I went out hiking to the beach. Its a 4 mile trail thru the woods to the beach and back. Also got up and went out jogging yesterday at the HS track. That is tough and is going to take alot of training for me.

My weigh in Friday had me up two pounds. Back on the bounce around.

So, Im a little irritated. Been trying to get in with the nut and have blood work done. Been getting the run around. Im sure its not intentional, just feel like Ive been falling thru the cracks...just how my weight loss has been. Lost nothing substantial since 7 months post op. Just the bounce around. I did manage to gain 7 lbs over the holidays, but that is off and that is it! I just dont know what else to do. Everyone says hang in there, keep pushing. I AM...just it only frustrates me. Im going to start reseraching. I cant be the only one who stops losing and doesnt get to goal. I have met a couple other people on OH who seem to be struggling like myself.

Anyway...My eats planned for today:

Extra large coffee w/ cream
Quest chocolate pb bar and banana
Pear and WW String cheese
Greek yogurt w/ Kashi Go lean crunch (forgot my PB2 today)
Another Quest bar
Not sure whats for dinner. At least I know the husband is cooking healthy since he has lost 45 pounds since January.

Boot camp tonight.

Good morning all! I am going to post today to keep myself accountable.
Today will be simple.



B: Protein shake
S:Protein shake
L:protein shake
D: Lean protein and veggies

I will be drinking 64+ ozs. of water and coffee, I always have a hot tea of some sort before bed and that will be my desert. I am also going to call my pcp today to get some labs done, I have a feeling that my thyroid is low, it runs in the family and Iv'e suspected it for some time now. My blood test results always come back "low but not low enough to treat".

Great weather today. Nice and crisp but sunny. 
I had nice Easter, just I and my BF.  We cooked, and ate, and went for walks. 
I baked normal cake for him and I baked protein cakes for me - so I would not get deprived.  I even made mashed potatoes for him.  But as he left to go to his house (we are together on weekends) I packed all potatoes, the cake and muffins and the bread and sent that with him. If it is not in the house - I will not eat that..  and when he  is in my house - I am not tempted. But during the week - if the stress is high... I may get tempted. And one bite may lead to 2, then 3... and so on... I think a lot of us can understand that.
Plain and simple, if I start eating some things - I can't stop at one bite.  I am a food addict.

My eats today: (staying on plan)
coffee with coconut milk
protein shake with greens (based on coconut milk)
chicken with mushroom sauce
salad with hard boiled egg, ham
quest bar  (maybe)

Exercise - not sure... probably walking.
