What's On Your Menu Today?

[dachsie]

Hey all - just got back from my vacation today. Had a good time but I am pooped. And some idiot ran me off the road today - I am not sure how I didn't roll over my SUV. Thank God I maintained control. I think it was because it was so weighted down with all of my stuff. When I got home I did fine half of the ice chest contents strewn all over the back seat tho. But I am home and safe. Will get back to posting tomorrow

Morning all. Kim, glad it worked out well with that car incident. Glad to hear you're back on track, kenson; but I never doubted you would be right back in the saddle

L: leftover salmon & spinach from my dinner last night. Went out to dinner with 15 fellow sleevers and the surgeon who thanked us for doing the fashion show Lots of fun!

I really needed to post my meals today, because I ate so poorly and want to be accountable(mostly to myself

B:usual
L: 90 calorie pack of tuna w/cheese stick on salad, balsamic dressing
then the trouble began... I ate 1 munchkin, 1/2 chocolate frosted doughnut, and 1/4 pumpkin muffin I can't remember another time since surgery that I indulged in this way, and putting it in "writing" isn't helping..lol...
D: 4 ozs chicken, spinach
S: coffee, WW triple chocolate brownie

I'd like to blame PMS, but since I'm way over that stage I'll blame it on the "path of the moon" or some other silly thing. Truth be told, I just ate without giving it a thought. If I used my simple 3 step technique, I might have resisted. I usually:
1. Breathe
2. Think of how far I've come
3. Remember where I was before surgery


Hope everyone has a great day, and thanks for the environment to confess!!

Jerzeygirl, you are human and these things are bound to happen. As long as they good days far outnumber the bad days, I think that is a check marking in the 'winning' catagory.

L: Quest bar(cookies and cream)
S: scrambled egg with green chilies and 1 Tbsp of shredded sharp cheddar

Okay, I haven't posted my meals yet but just want to say that I love you guys. You give me hope when I have none. I am "good" 99% of the time. The other 1% plays with my head. Here is a typical day for me:

b: one cup of coffee and about an hour later a Quest protein bar
l: usually a serving of Special K crisps or triscuits topped with 2 oz of protein. Usually deli ham, tuna or turkey
d: some protein. Usually fish or beef. Maybe 3 oz. still can't tolerate chicken
s: if I need one, it's a quest protein bar or some cottage cheese

I've sort of hit a long three month plateau after hitting 103,lbs lost. I need to exercise more and eat less apparently. I'm about 20 lbs from my goal of 160 although At my nuts goal of 180. I recognize that the less I weigh, the harder it becomes to lies each pound. Thank you for being here.

B - cottage cheese, applesauce and toast
L - navy bean soup and toast
D - sirachi shrimp with slaw and banana crumble dessert
