Entries in this blog

Oh hello Monday!! Looking forward to a geat week. This week I am going to start logging my excercise, I have to admit that i have slacked off a little....okay, ALOT. I have nothing better to do, so excercise should be alot easier. I don't work, all my kids are in school...my house is pretty clean ALL the time. Not that I don't enjoy a clean house, but it's become my hobby. Thank you Pinterest for the challenges you have given me. Yes, I can clean my whole house with venagar and baking soda, and
I normally wake up around 6am everyday. Today it was almost 10am before I crawled my butt out of bed. I guess my body finally said "enough". I drank my coffee and realized it was too late for breakfast. Oh well, gotta keep going. Went to the movies with the family, we saw Boom, it was cute. I ate some tortilla chips with cheese and jalepenos. We left so fast I didn't have time to prepare a snack pack for me. I didn't drink anything since I don't drink soda and I have a huge issue with paying fo
It's cold and gloomy out. Looks like a great day to grab a couple of movies and heat up the soup pot. Well, not exactly true, I am going to pop open a can of Light Progresso soup, Chicken pot pie. Yummy.   Breakfast: 1/4 c quinoa 1egg 1 pat of light butter, salt and pepper   Lunch: Like I said....Soup   Dinner: beef stroganoff made with low fat cream of mushroom soup, llight sourcream and whole grain egg noodles. Gonna throw some green peas in it and a side of broccoli
I love the weekend. I am home all week, some days till after 5 pm by myself. The weekend comes and the house is full of my kids, thier friends and my husband. I have people to tlak to. Yay!!   Breakfast: Poached egg with quinoa   Lunch: chili mac with low carb noodles   Dinner: Hmmmm, well for the family it's going to be london broil, corn on the cob and mashed potatos   For me:   CAROLYN'S POOR MAN'S LOBSTER 4 ounce fresh or frozen haddock fillet * Water 1/2 teaspoon white vineg
I was there.... I remember after my surgery I thought "how do they do it?" I still cant get full, I would wonder around the kitchen, open the fridge, close the fridge, open all the cabinettes and sigh... What the heck was I looking for? It was just habit. I was used to eating allllll day. I would eat when i wasn't hungry, but I just needed that comfort. Then I would lay in bed at night and say that's it, tomorrow will be different. I am gonna stick to my diet." I would be good for 24 hours, or
So a banded friend tells me..."I can eat 3 cups of salad before I'm full". Ummmm, yea? My response "doesnt mean you should eat 3 cups". Her response was that we are supposed to eat until your full.   No, that is such a false statement. You still need portion control. If I am still hungry after eating, I wait the 30 minutes after eating then I start drinking my liquids. If you are not getting your liquids in every day, your full spot will trick you into wanting more food. I'm sorry, but I just
So day 3 after fill and thought I would try some salmon. Not a good idea. Not soft enough food, one small bite, well chewed got stuck.

Oh I had a wonderful visit to a new church today. We attend a local church regularly, but it's not the denomination I am used to. My kids love it becuase of the newer songs, loud music, the teen group is large and very active. I just need to hear a hymn everyonce in a while and a friendly handshake. I go where my kids spiritual needs are fed, I am very greatful they understand that I need a my cup filled sometimes too.   3 days since my last fill and I am reeeaaally feeling it. It's not too ti
It's been pretty nice not having to cook for the family. My husband completely understands that the first 2 days or so after my fills I just can't be in the kitchen. He doesn't mind, he actually likes to cook.   Today I have had a cup of coffee, a protien shake, a watered down tomato soup with fat free milk, almost 48 oz of water with a splash of MIO (On the GO Multivitamin mixed in it) and dinner will be a 1/2 of can of light progresso potato soup blended in my magic bullet and heated. I am o
I just can't seem to get it together. i read all other blogs about menus and updates and all that stuff and I think to myself....I'm witty, I'm organized I CAN DO THAT.   Uh...NAH!   I am disappointed in myself, but that's just me. I am a planner, a doer, a go getter.   Anywho. My menu plan for the next 2 days are won't be worth posting. I just had a fill today and I'm on liquids for the next 24-48 hours, then soft for the following 3-4 days. I didn't follow the directions properly the la

We had a snow storm that my state isn't used to and lost power for 24 hours during 25-30 degree weather. Since then my computer had given me issues, and I thought that since I couldn't sign on to this site it must have been part of the storm. Not very computer savy. But when I right clicked and opened it another window and that worked....I was sooo happy. I am sooo happy to be blogging my menu plan again. This is such a motivator for me and I can look back and see what I have accomplished.

Please feel free to comment your thoughts. This is new for me, but I am a planner. If I don't plan ahead I don't follow through. I stopped working at the end of the last school year and it's been hard to get my daily plans in order. I get my down time, but without my "things to do list" or a menu plan I end up with a lot more down time with a bag of chips. treadmill workout: 1 incline 10 min. 3.4 speed 2 incline 10 min. 3.0 speed 3 incline 5 min. 3.0 speed 4 incline 5 min. 3.0 spee
