Saturday and warming up here. The ice is almost gone from parking lots. Yippee. We need to do a little shopping for some storage/organization totes. I am in the mood to pare down! Today I will get my Vitamins and minerals in. Water in and green tea! Hot choc. with Peanut Butter for Breakfast. Lentil Soup for lunch and dinner may be OUT so life is moving forward. I have a cooking addiction. LOL I did bake banana cupcakes for church hospitality room tomorrow. Not anything I can eat. Gluten free here so it is good!

Well ladies been have some issues trying to reply on this thread but I am going to try again. I had some coffee with cream, Splenda 1 tsp of sugar for Breakfast. I woke up extremely late and had to rush to job #1. I have already had 72oz of Water in for the day and I don't get off job #2 for another hour. On my way to job #2 I had beef Jerky and cheese and then a few toasted coconut chips. For lunch/dinner I had grilled chicken with broccoli a little ranch and some A1. I did have a 44oz iced tea with a little sugar but mostly Splenda and 2 cups of hot green tea today. I really don't have time to exercise but I make sure I get at least 11,000 steps in a day.

Well after three days of eating almost nothing due to my surgery, I've lost a whole pound and a half. Hey I'll take it. Going out for brunch with my bestie today for her birthday followed by watching old movies at her house. I'm still sore and tired, so we're taking it easy. I slept on and off Saturday after no sleep Friday which left me with a Migraine. Today I feel better.

Absolutely love this running post! Will start a 5 day pouch test tomorrow after essentially 2+ years of giving up after being banded in February of 2010. I have moved from the Houston area so I will need to find a new doc for fills and now my new insurance doesn't cover anything bariatric. I am 44 years old, 5'10, 260 and need to lose 60 pounds. Here we go!

Church... had a 1/2 oz cheese and cup of black coffee. 1/3 C oj with Water later. lunch refried Beans approx 1/2 C and 2 corn chips with 2 T cheese dip. A little walk in the woods and bird watching. Bird feeders filled. Ready for football and drinking lime Water. Need to get the Vitamins and minerals in too. dinner plans are Tomato Soup and muenster cheese wrapped with lettuce. Enjoy your day! Best wishes with the pouch test Titan 05!

Good Morning!!!

What a BUSY weekend! I read every post via my phone app, but didn't get to post. It was a great weekend with lots of movement. I've logged food and exercise and have a plan for today. I'll have my breakfast and lunch Protein shakes, and then dinner will either be taco Soup or chicken a la king. I will do an exercise video this evening with the family and will report back for accountability.

I LOVE reading what you guys are eating and how you're exercising. It gives me motivation as well as new ideas!!

It's going to be a STRONG week!! Let's make it happen!!

@JustWatchMe glad to hear from you and to hear you're on the mend!

@titan05 Glad you jumped in! I'm curious about the pouch test...what's that involve?

@punkinvine I always enjoy reading about what you're up to!

@MarieMarie You're working that FitBit, aren't you?!? Did you win the weekend comp? Keep up the good work!!

@@m.simpson88 Two jobs?!? You're a busy woman! What is your favorite Protein shake?

Took a sick day today because I was in too much pain to return to work after my minor surgery Friday. Took my pain pills, slept some, read a book, let my mom cook me lunch, walked my dog. Had a doctor appointment with my PCP whom I haven't seen since June. "Hi there, Skinny!" Made my day. My cholesterol is normal without meds. Yay! He was very happy with my weight loss progress.

It was easy to stay on my food plan today. 1060 calories. Some good stuff in the fridge for the coming week too. Two kinds of chicken and a pot of chili.

I'm feeling better and will return to work tomorrow. Back to the stairs for exercise.

[m.simpson88 56]

I woke up extra early today and went and ran/walked 2.75 miles before work and came in the house and had 30oz Water. Went to job #1 and had 3T mashed potatoes because I was tight and then had 3oz chicken breast with A1 and 1/4c steamed broccoli later. Same thing for lunch and dinner was a bagel thin, boca burger patty, reduced fat pepperjack cheese Helmand lowfat mayo(15cal/1T) and mustard.. I did have 1/2 a bag of the jalapeño cheddar chex mix chips (100 cal). I ran another mile on my lunch at job #2 and have had 4 cups of cranberry pomegranate green tea with a 1/2 tbsp of honey and 1 Splenda in each. Coming in at 92oz of Water so far.

My favorite Protein shakes are Sprouts vanilla whey Protein and designer whey gourmet chocolate.
