I've been teetering between 186-189 for a week now. I want to get past the 186.

I was able to eat today and I was SOOOO hungry. So eat I did!! I think my body had enough of eating close to nothing for the past 2 weeks. Fortunately the band kept me in check but it was still a lot for me.

B – Frozen protein latte, Soup at Hand chicken & stars

L – 1 taco with extra guacamole (I find tacos easier to eat if I serve them deconstructed on a plate with the shell on the side for dipping into the salsa & guac. I have trouble taking small enough bites of an assembled taco.)

S – Smoothie with low sugar orange juice, 1/3 banana, and vanilla protein powder

D – 6 fish sticks used as a vehicle for tartar sauce (good thing I made it with low fat mayo because I ate plenty!), 1/3 C. black bean and corn salad, ½ avocado

S – SF vanilla pudding cup mixed with PB2, SF Cool Whip, and Chocolate protein powder (The protein powder was a mistake. Won’t do that again. Didn’t stop me from eating it though!)

S2 – SF hot chocolate

WHEW! :tongue2:

I'm so thankful for having a tight band right now.

Had a bad day...was very upset...wanted to run/exercise, but have a stress fracture and can't. So then I was like well I'm going to eat, tried that and only got down 2 bites of chips and a buffalo chicken dip,and had to go "pb". So that stopped that.

I had a Protein shake instead.

I have been trying to eat very little because of the no exercise thing. So I have a couple of Muscle Milks and a very small snack through the day.

today-

B-coffee w/sf torani syrup, 2 strips bacon

L-apple salad

D-sauteed mushrooms

Saturday:

B - Muscle Milk, CnCream

S - 2 pcs turkey, 2 pcs provlone w/ must. pb'd though. I am SO tight in the AM.

D - carne asade with rice, beans, sc & guac. Easier to eat meat if it's "lube'd" up.

D1 - Brownie 'bite' and some lemon cake, watermelon.
