mistysj 1,940 Posted December 25, 2013 I had a nice Christmas lunch with family and found it really easy to eat "within my means". I didn't drink, playing the "I'm sick" card. Our neighbors are coming over for a drink in a bit and I will have one then and some eggnog tonight. But I will stay close to my calorie goal and i haven't felt deprived and haven't stuffed myself either. Santa brought me a Fitbit Flex and a Fitbit Aria wireless scale! I had the Fitbit One that clips on but this one is a Bracelet. I love it! And the scale syncs with MyFitnessPal automatically and checks my body fat % too. I also got a Fossil bag and a new board game, and Secret Santa gave me a mushroom growing kit! 3 ausmith, kelliv and Kbee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mistysj 1,940 Posted December 26, 2013 I didn't mean to be short. I was at a family dinner. for soft food I ate a lot of: eggs cheese Yogurt Cottage cheese Cereal with milk (like Special K or uncle Toby's flakes) Porridge with Protein powder stirred in after it cools a bit Canned Soup with extra chicken added Beef mince with gravy or bolognaise Canned chicken mixed with mayo, onion, and gherkin relish (I call this chicken salad) Refried Beans with cheese Hummus Canned peas Baked Beans Custard with Protein powder stirred in I actually ate a lot of fish but I've left that out for you. Sashimi, smoked salmon and canned tuna were staples. 1 GorgeousCurves reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ditdee 12 Posted December 26, 2013 Thank you for the suggestions, didnt think that you were being short at all. I havent really looked at anything else on the site, just went straight for the aussie section. I will explore some more. Hope you had a nice dinner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mistysj 1,940 Posted December 29, 2013 Hope everyone had a safe and happy christmas, I managed to shed another kg despite having a few treats so am feeling very pleased. Woohoo congratulations! We are doing well. I'm looking forward to getting back in my normal routine but enjoying the break too, especially silly the break from work! I rode my bike to and from mass today (about 20 minutes each way). Not too bad but I'll stay inside out of the heat the rest of the day! Looking forward to running tomorrow but I will need to do it early. Anybody have plans for NYE? We are going to a dinner concert at the Brisbane Jazz Club which is right on the river, so as a bonus we get to see the fireworks at midnight! I am so excited about the dress I bought and will have my husband take a photo when I am all dressed up. 1 kelliv reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GorgeousCurves 3 Posted December 29, 2013 Hi all - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 2014 looks to be amazing. I was following this forum for a while and then had some major set backs - I was unsuccessful in accessing my super twice. I have private health insurance, but needed the extra money to fund my operation. Thank heavens for wonderful family who came to the rescue and on 17 September 2013 I had my gastric sleeve operation in Brisbane. I've lost 26kgs, my health has improved and the arthritis pain in one of my knees is so much less as my weight continues to go down. Is there anyone around the Springfield Lakes area or close by in Queensland who has had the gastric sleeve and would like to catch up? Please let me know - we have some lovely cafes in the area.
