Another food for thought moment

[Tiffykins 672]

I get a lot of questions about "what do you eat?" Instead of trying to explain portion size, or what exactly I eat, I figure pictures work a little better.

Tonight's menu:

T-Bone (approx. 1 inch thick after grilling over charcoal) steak with A1 thick & hearty sauce (I ate all but 2 bites of the steak)

Green Giant Veggie Medley (new potatoes, snap peas I don't eat the shells, and red peppers) Steamed with herb sauce (I only ate 2 of the smaller potatoes pictured).

As you can see, even at 7 months out, I still off a salad plate.

I feel 100% satisfied. The steak was cooked about medium, and I was able to chew it normally. It took me about 35 minutes to eat tonight.

After looking at that ... Who's hungry besides me? :thumbup:

Tiffy that's actually quite a bit of meat. I don't think I can eat that much steak. Mushy foods I can eat more of, but steak or chicken makes me full after about 5 bites.

You are really eating so healthy!

WTG!

Thank you. . . I counted it out as 9 bites, and I think the A1 helps make it easier to go down. It's a bad habit I picked up with the band. My meat has to be moist, and John said, that I grilled the steak just a bit more than medium rare. So, it was super tender, and pretty mushy. A couple of bites, and it had the consistency of tuna salad with mayo. Maybe that's why I could eat so much tonight? I probably could have eaten the other potatoes, but I got a twinge, and am not willing to push any limits.

I'm having a glass of wine tonight in celebration of the new season Project Runway ! ! ! I definitely got in plenty of calories today. Stayed at around 58 carbs, so I'm content with intake today. I need to check the carb count on wine since I've never plugged into myfitnesspal to check it. I may be over on my carbs for today, but I'm content.

I had my 6 month labs pulled today including cholesterol, full thyroid panel, folic acid/b12, vit d, vit d3. . . Should have all the results by Monday. I'm stoked to see my results.

Oh I can't wait to hear how they come out. I am bummed that my vit D 3 has not gone up at all and I am anemic. Iron is not fun to take and you have to be so careful as to when to take it.

Are you going to be in the chat room tonight?

[Tiffykins 672]

Yeah, I'll be in chat in about 40 minutes. Project Runway is on. . .
