Starting Over-Day #15

Great day today. Feeling much better. Found out I may get to go to Haiti on a medical missions trip..so that has been a good distraction! I'm just not very hungry and starting to dwindle on getting all my calories in. Here is my food log for the day:   B: 1 cup cottage cheese (80 Cals / 8 Protein) L: Lean Cuisine, the chicken only (120 cals / 10 protein) D: Homemade Vegetable Beef Soup (heavy on the beef) (200 cals / 25 Protein) S: 1/2 cup pistachios(200 cals / 6 protein) S#2: Homemade

Starting Over-Day #14

Down 11 pounds. Have had a bit of the stomach flu the last couple days...actually I think it is more related to stress and life. But nonetheless, haven't had an appetite, and unable to keep much down-so didn't see the point in tracking. Even though the same is true today, I didn't want to get out of the habit of blogging. So here goes.   B: Slept L: 2 eggs-not sure how much kept down D: 4 oz mahi mahi with 1/8th avacado (the insides of a fish taco)..again not kept down.   But there..I blo

Starting Over-Day #11

Worked last night and slept most of the day, so calorie intake is a little weird. I'm tired again and getting ready to go to bed. So I didn't get as much as needed in today...but then again, my whole new outlook is I'm not going to beat myself up when I'm not 100 percent all the time. :ohmy: So here's my intake for today:   L: assorted cheeses (400 cal / 15 protein), 2 slices summer sausage (120 cal/ 7 protein) D: 1 cup steamed chicken and broccoli (115 calories / 22 protein) Totals fo

Starting Over-Day #10

From experience, I'm fine with the second week plauteau. I remember from before I would lose 10ish pounds fairly quickly, then plateau for about a week. Patience and understanding is key :ohmy: Strangely been more hungry today than I have been. Not sure what that is about. I couldn't have lost that much fat around my band yet. Will ride it out and see. Here's the food log for the day:   B: 2 String Cheese (160 cal / 12 protein) S: 1/2 cup pistachios (200 cal/ 6 protein), L: 1 cup Buf

Starting Over-Day #9

Made a yummy new low carb recipe today...Buffalo Chicken Dip. Very simple too. Just throw a bag of frozen chicken into the crockpot, throw one bottle of your favorite wing sauce over that, then sprinkle one package of Hidden Valley Ranch dry dressing mix over that. Cook until chicken is tender, then shred the chicken, mix in two 8 oz packages of cream cheese and stir well. You can serve it hot or cold, and could eat it with a fork instead of as a dip if you wanted to cuz its just that good!

Starting over-Day #8

Still doing well considering low carbing it for a whole week now. I'm down 8 pounds in 8 days!! Not too shabby. I just keep repeating to myself..Keep it up Robyn, you can do it again! :tongue_smilie:Here's the breakdown for today: B: assorted cheeses (400 cal / 15 protein), 2 slices summer sausage (120 cal/ 7 protein) S: 1/2 cup pistachios (200 cal/ 6 protein), L: side salad with 2 tbsp ranch (150 Cals/ 0 Protein), 1/4 c asparagus (10 Cal / 1 Protein), 4 sea scallops (100 cals / 20 Protein)

Starting Over-Day #7

Down 7 pounds so far...not to bad considering I should be retaining water about now and famished :w00t: Okay, so I didn't post yesterday's food in a timely fashion because I have had to work night shifts..but I still wrote every bite down with plans to do a late entry. Yesterday was a very emotional day for me, and I was able to do pretty well considering. Me and my hubby went on a date to Cheesecake Factory and actually shared an entree. We haven't done that since right after my surgery. It

Starting over-Day #6

Think I'm getting the hang of this. Think my previously stretched out pouch has shrunk back down because I have no more hunger pain, and I'm never hungry. Strange how overeating actually was making me hungry...Here's the calorie log for the day:   B: 2 mini crustless quiche (180 cal / 16 protein), 1/2 cup cottage cheese (80 cal /10 protein). S: 1/2 cup Pistachios (170 cal / 6 gm protein) L: 1 cup taco meat (200 cal / 20 protein), lettuce, salsa, 2 tbsp low fat sour cream (40 cal / 2 protein)

Starting over, Day #5

Down 6 pounds as of today. Haven't been very hungry today. In fact, I have had to force myself to eat to get the cals/protein in. At 11:30 tonight, I had to go down to the fridge and figure what would be the best choice to get in 300 more cals and 10 more gms of protein. I think I'm officially detoxed from regular Coke as of today...that was probably one of my main vices to gaining so much weight back. So YAY for that! Here's the calorie log for the day:   B: South Beach Protein Bar (140 cals

Day #4

Down 5 Pounds...wish the tickers would post on the blog. Here's the food diary for the day:   B: 2 mini crustless quiche (180 cal / 16 protein), 1/2 cup cottage cheese (80 cal /10 protein). S: 1 tbsp peanut butter (100 cal / 4 protein) L: 1 cup taco meat (200 cal / 20 protein), lettuce, salsa, 2 tbsp light sour cream (80 cal / 4 protein), 2 tbsp shredded cheddar (110 cal / 5 protein), 1 avocado (300 cal / 4 protein) D: assorted cheeses (300 cal / 15 protein), 2 slices summer sausage (120 ca

Day #3

Down 4 pounds..yes I am one of those people that has to weigh every day. Keeps me motivated even if I know it's water weight. I pretty much slept all day after working a night shift. So not a whole lot activity, but being true to my promise..here is my accountability log of food for today:   B: 2 mini crustless quiche (180 cal / 16 protein) L: 1 South Beach Protein Bar (140 cal / 10 protein) S: Shrimp Gumbo with veggies (300 cal / 19 protein), Pistachios (160 cal / 6 gm protein) D: Lean Cui

Day #2

Today's intake:   B: 3 mini crustless quiche (270 Cals/ 24 Protein) S: 1 cup cottage cheese (80 Cals/ 8 Protein) L: side salad with 2 tbsp ranch (148 Cals/ 0 Protein), 1/4 c asparagus (10 Cal / 1 Protein), 4 sea scallops (100 cals / 20 Protein) S: String Cheese (80 Cal /8 Protein) D:Turkey Meatloaf (270 Cals/ 30 Protein) So that's a grand total for today of 958 Calories and 91 gms protein!   Felt like all I have been doing is eating all day...thought I had more calories than that. Felt

Starting over (again)

So I have gained almost 100 pounds back over the past 2.5 years. Had my band loosened after losing almost 170 pounds, as I began to get tired of vomiting all the time. Originally planned on just giving things a "rest", but then quickly enjoyed feeling normal being able to eat again. So here we are over 2 years later, miserable..kicking myself..ready to go at it again. Gonna try this blog thing to keep sort of an on-line diary for myself. Committing to keep a daily diary of food intake as we
