With our sleeve we CAN continue our healthy lifestyle indefinitely.
Somehow I do believe my body found a "set point" where it wants to stay. For almost 3 years hit goal and I stayed at 140. Then when I broke my neck and couldn't exercise for 2 months, so I got to 145. My personal goal is 135. I've been at 145 for almost a year now. I eat right, exercise, but stay at the exact same place. I weigh this when I am very careful to eat perfectly, and even on the rare days I don't eat perfectly. (Take Halloween for an example...). I weigh this after 7 days of climbing mountains. I weigh this after taking 4 days off exercise due to sore knees. It's just odd. I wonder if I'm too protein/veggie focused, and should try more fruits and good carbs. I really follow what my nut told me, protein first, then veggie, then carbs if room. So basically my diet is protein with a few veggies thrown in.
Here's my typical day:
coffee with Premier Protein shake as creamer.
Breakfast - 2 eggs
AM snack - the rest of the shake
Lunch - typically dinner leftovers OR that low-fat Bumblee tuna salad kit with crackers (Maybe 120 calories total), a low fat greek yogurt and a low fat string cheese
Snack - protein bar
Dinner - A protein and a veggie
I never eat anything after dinner.
Yesterday was a travel day, so I ate three things, no snacks except water. Not the best choices for sure. Breakfast - coffee with about 1/3 of an omelet and berries at the fancy hotel breakfast (yum!) Lunch - 2 chicken strips off hubby's lunch plate (I did say I was in Mississippi) and Dinner - I piece of pizza as that's where we went for dinner when we got here. But days like this are the exception rather than the rule.
