Recommended Posts

ugh...so here's my confession. i went to the gym for 35 minutes burning 500 cal...but then i picked up baked potato Soup (chz/bacon on it) AND then i ate 3 Cookies (180 cal. total) I didn't eat my yummy spanish chicken as i had planned. I think i was bored...must not do that again! :w00t:

Today:

b: instant coffee (80 cal) & oatmeal with pb (250 cal)

l: ordering a turkey/swiss wrap with balsamic vinegar on it. i'll probably eat some of the actual wrap and all of the cold cuts (i take it apart). It's probably in the 300+ calorie range (guessing)

d: spanish chicken! this time i won't go to get my comfort soup. it's probably 350 calories (again guessing).

My goal for today is not to snack tonight. cross your fingers:rolleyes:

Gym: i'm going to do my usual 45-60 cardio and toning (about an hour--but that's because we all talk and do it at the same time lol)

pigs-r-flying - WELCOME!

speaking of slapping hands and all that - I almost refused to post my intake for yesterday. Now I know we all have bad days - I have certainly had my fair share but yesterday took on a whole new dimension. It wasn't just a bad food day, it was self-sabotaging, anti-band friendly and just rotten! It started out with me knowing I was having a problem with chocolate. In an initial attempt to help with this I thought it would be a good idea to give chocolate up for Lent. Well last night it turned into a well let's eat as much chocolate as I can before tomorrow.

I actually only got one meal of Protein in (a Protein Shake on my way into work) because I was never hungry from constantly eating chocolate through the night (oohhh and the scoops and salsa that were on the nurses station) didn't help that it was an insane horribly busy night.

Oh well - today is already going better (maybe the no chocolate for Lent will end up being just the 'cleansing' that I need)

Today:

S: slice of baked brie - last little wedge

B: mocha protein shake

S: carrots and dip

L: 6 oz bolognese Pasta dish

D: (will be) some roasted red pepper Soup and if I need a snack - some beef Jerky or 100 cal popcorn pack.

Urgent question!! Does anyone know what has happened to Fitday.com? That is where I do my food journal and it helps me with my calories. When I go to the link or google it, it says it is a broken link. I have really relied on it. Thanks, any info. is helpful. Dot

i'm noticing a few things this week. Although my weigh in day is tomorrow i got on the scale today and was expecting a lb down...now that may or may not happen tomorrow...but as of now i'm only down .2.

I got really discouraged so i came on here and read what i've been eating. I realized that i haven't been making good choices- giving in to my cravings. I noticed i'm doing this more because i'm working out a lot and feel i "deserve it." UGH.

So i'm posting this on here so i cannot back out of a promise that i will make better- low calorie- choices Monday-Thursday (Fri-Sun I'll allow myself one meal of what i want each day--within reason).

SO please feel free to call me out next week if i don't honor it!!

Today:

b: dunkin donuts coffee (med) with skim milk and equal (50 cal)

b2: quaker granola bar (140 cal)

l: lean cuisine (300 cal)

s: if i'm hungry i'll have a south beach Fiber fit bar (140 cal)

d: i'll either have spanish chicken or a lean cuisine depending on my mood (300-400 cal)

Gym:

Going to lucille roberts today to take a "mega mix" cardio class.

Hey. Yes, it's all women. I like it because it has someone with every size/shape and age there. So i don't feel huge or stupid when i do something wrong. Plus the classes are fantastic! I'm from north jersey (like 5 miles outside NYC).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
