Hi Ladies!

Ok, I need to be accountable. So I am going to start posting my daily food, Water intake, etc. I hope you guys join in. I would like to see what everyone else is eating. Good, bad or indifferent. I don't think that matters, really. I think the important thing is accountability and sharing. :tt1:

So here is mine for today, Wednesday.

B: 4oz peach carbmaster yogurt with 3 slices of banana

L: half meatball in sauce with 4 pieces of rotini Pasta

S: 1 pita chip with hummus, one mouthful chicken salad

D: sliver of cheese quesadilla, about a quarter cup refried Beans

Water: :blushing:

Exercise: :ohmy:

Vitamins: multi, B, Calcium, C

I was so busy posting recipes, I forgot to post my food!

Tuesday:

B: vanilla Protein shake with strawberries and banana

L: honestly can't remember... huh...

D: chili cheese fries-homemade. 6 french fries covered with a quarter cup of chili, cheese and sour cream. Along with some roasted cauliflower

Wednesday:

L: a third cup chicken salad with 3 club crackers

Hi everyone!

Today-

B: vanilla Protein shake with bananas and strawberries

L: half a meatball with 8 garlic pita chips

D: third cup of chicken salad with 3 club crackers, 1 cube of cantaloupe

Had a meeting today, there was lots of food. Sandwiches, chips, etc. I wasn't even tempted. Everyone kept apologizing for eating in front of me but it honestly doesn't bother me.

On another note, my chocolate protein came today from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. YAY! I missed not having the chocolate. It's my favorite. I have an appointment with a trainer at my gym tomorrow at 10am. Looking forward to it. <---- putting that down so when I am complaining how sore I am, I can remember I was excited for it!

Hi everyone! Happy weekend!

Today-

B: chocolate Protein shake with pb and banana

L: a third cup chicken salad, about 6 diced pears

D: half a meatball with roasted cauliflower

water- actually did really well today with water!

exercise- appt with the trainer today- did 1 hour of weight training and then 15 minutes on the elliptical

Had to nap when I got home! :sad: I got my flu shot yesterday. I forgot when I got it last year, I felt the same way. Just very sluggish and blah. Probably bad timing with the flu shot and scheduling the trainer. Should have thought that through a little better, I think! Oh well, it's done. I am sure I will feel better tomorrow!

Oh and about my trainer appointment. I haven't seen the trainers since before the gym opened. I signed up while they were under construction and signing people up in the trailer on the property. So my measurements were taken a year ago. I weighed 230 then. (I got heavier after that!) So by that, I have lost 38 lbs, 4 inches in each thigh! And wait for this one.... 5.5 inches in my waist! :thumbup: I think measurements are going to be fun now! LOL!

Hello all...

Today-

B: a third cup of chicken salad- wasn't in the mood for Breakfast foods

L: 1 square of thin crust pizza (cheese) with a blackberry carbmaster yogurt

D: half a panko breaded tilapia fillet (baked) and 5 baked sweet potato fries

Today is my 3 month bandiversary. My husband took my 3 month picture.

wow... VERY sore today! My arms and chest were incredibly sore. Plus, I have a HUGE bruise from my flu shot. I felt like I wasn't in control of my muscles today.. it was kind of funny. Definately made cleaning my house a challenge!

Oh, I bought the new Biggest Loser Wii game with both Bob and Jillian. My plan is to try it out tomorrow. It is supposed to work with the balance board. I am excited because it has some yoga in it. I have terrible balance. I really want to work on that.

Hi everyone...

Today-

B: Protein shake with pb and banana

L: half a meatball, half a parmesan crisp

D: wasn't really hungry so I had another protein shake (same as breakfast)

Exercise: 15 minutes of Biggest Loser Wii and 25 minutes glider

Water: not even close :sad:

I have a couple of observations. First, I realized I want to plan things now. I told my kids today that we will plant a garden in Feb. I was so exhausted before from being morbidly obese (being diabetic without controlling it didn't help either!) I didn't even think about doing anything physical. Now I am planning things! That is sort of cool.

The other thing is... my husband joined the gym! :sad:

I had this surgery as much for him as for myself. He is very heavy- BMI 37.5. It is all belly fat. And he smokes. I always felt I couldn't say anything about his health if I wasn't doing anything about mine. And I always felt if only I could get control of myself, he would follow suit. Well, he is! I haven't said a word to him... he is so stubborn, it would be counterproductive, he has done it entirely on his own. I am so happy!

Hi everyone...

Today-

B: Protein shake with pb and banana

L: boston market frozen entree- meat loaf and mashed potatoes with gravy. I had a third of it. It was yummy!

D: half a meatball

dessert- made homemade ice cream with ricotta cheese... VERY delicious... but NOT a low cal/low fat/low sugar food. I put one scoop on a cone- didn't finish cone.

I am sure my calorie count was up there. That ice cream was pretty decadent. I don't feel bad about it... it was planned. I enjoyed it and now it's gone.

Gotta go pack my gym bag for tomorrow!

Hi everyone... haven't posted, everything is ok. I have just been very busy and a little bummed. Nothing band related, just life in general!

I have been eating my normal stuff, Protein shake for breakfast, turkey chili for lunch etc... so I won't bore you with the days I missed

Today-

B: strawberry banana carbmaster yogurt and a third of a banana

L: about 2/3 cup of turkey chili with cheese

D: half a meatball with parmesan crisp

S: 4 toasted coconut cashews

water: bad bad bad today!

I did have a bit of a NSV today. We had ice cream sundaes in the break room today for a safety celebration. I decided I could have a tiny bit after my lunch today. By the time lunch came around, I wasn't really in the mood for it. In the past, I would have had some 'just because I could' and it wouldn't matter if I didn't really want it. So I thought that was pretty cool progress. :scared2:

Hello everyone, forgot to post yesterday.

Friday-

B: skipped

L: tuna on half a slice of white bread, toasted

D: half a meatball

Not very hungry today.

Water: decent

Today-

B: half a meatball

L: chicken salad on 3 club crackers

S: 'like it' size cold stone creamery (oops!)

D: couple bites fish- not very hungry

Not sure where my appetite is the last few days.

Going to do a better job of getting veggies.

It isn't official until tomorrow but I have lost 50 lbs!!!

I am pretty excited about that... seems like a pretty good milestone!

Today:

B: blackberry carbmaster yogurt with half a tiny banana

L: seriously don't remember eating lunch today... humph

D: about a tablespoon of each- roasted chicken, roasted butternut squash, a wedge of roasted potato, 3 roasted baby carrots, and homemade stuffing (with apples, pecans, raisins, sausage, celery, onion etc)

Looking at my menu in black and white here I am a little concerned about my Protein intake today. Must do better tomorrow.

Hi everyone...

S: half a granola bar before my workout

Hi everyone...

Today-

B: shake

L: about a half cup of turkey chili and a bite of pizza toppings

S: 6 pita chips

D: couldn't decide what I wanted so I just had a little turkey chili

Not sure what is up but the last several days but come dinnertime, I am just not hungry. Oh well, I am sure it will pass. Just need to make sure I get my Protein in.

I too liked the recipies! THX!!!

Hi everyone! I have had a bad couple of days, food-wise. Funny thing, though, is I really haven't eaten much! Sort of reverse of what I used to do!

Friday:

B: half a Protein shake

L: nope

D: half cup turkey chili but didnt even finish it.

Today:

B: nope

L: nope

S: cooked up a storm today so I picked on that stuff... it was all veggies

D: half a baked panko breaded tilapia fillet and four pieces of diced peaches

Not sure where my appetite has been. My band feels very tight and I am having trouble going to the bathroom. That is two more reasons to get on the program with my WATER!!!! I just don't know why I struggle so much with the dang Water. :blushing:

On a positive note, I have learned this week that I need good food choices ready to go in the fridge. If I have to cook when I am actually ready to eat, I choose not to eat.

So today I cooked:

-big pot of meatballs

-large batch of chicken salad

-roasted sweet potatoes with apples

-roasted butternut squash

-roasted cauliflower

-broccoli salad

Lots of yummy choices, just heat and eat! :laugh:

On another note, both my boys are sick. Flu-ish. Fever, sneezing, coughing. Yuck.
