Could you tell I wanted to get the cereal out of my cabinet and the milk out of my fridge before it went bad Quite high in carbs, but at least it had lots of fiber!

Afternoon snack to keep the Beast at bay:
apple
Dinner:
protein shake (protein powder, banana, skim milk, a bit of sugar free instant pudding powder to thicken and sweeten)

That is quite a bit more fibre than you usually eat, jillybean. Hope you're not feeling the effects of it today!

Not the best of days, but also not the worst of days......I did manage a lot of walking: from home to the doctor (30 min), doctor to the hospital for blood test (45 min) and hospital to home (15 min). Fingers crossed for the blood test - fasting blood sugar - last time (16 months ago) it was fine, but I have not been feeling so great recently, and have this nasty feeling that the IGT (impaired glucose tolerance) may be back....ooh well, takes 2 weeks to get the results, so will just aim for some healthy eating and exercise in the mean time.
Haven't posted in the last few days. Have been hiding my head in the sand. I know that it does not work for me. My doctor ordered a CAT scan and ultrasound this week to rule out that my abdominal pain (most likely scar tissue) is not related to my previous diagnosis of uterine cancer. I don't want to deal with this but deal with it I must. Send me your good thoughts and prayers.
Food wise I have done pretty good except for the mini binge on one accasion of 4 chocolate chip cookies and a half loaf+ of circle cinnamon bread (each about 800 calories.) Exercise has been really rewarding and feels great.
Dishyfishy, looks like Onederland!!!!! Congratulations!

Reason: Forgot to plug in my calorie total ;P
Looking forward to your next post, Jillybean, once you get out of the bathroom!
Two pieces of baklava isn't the end of the world, Synger, and if you're going to have an "extra" it may as well be something worthwhile (mmm, my mouth's watering at the thought of baklava...)
Yes, Claire, keep up with the healthy eating and exercise, it'll do wonders for your emotional well being as you wait for the test results. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you (I'd cross my eyes, but then I wouldn't be able to type).
Really like your avatar pic, Denise, and its nice to "see" you! Good job on the exercise and don't let a weeny binge like that get you down. Good thoughts being sent your way that the ultrasound and catscan show nothing more than scar tissue. Please don't forget to update us!
Congrats on the new job, SillyFluff, certainly looks like it'll be providing you with some great exercise along with the income!
Hope the little one's feeling better, Laura!

Whew, surprisingly enough, I wasn't in the bathroom any more than usual yesterday! Now, how's that for a little too much detail? I thought all that fiber would wreak havoc on my digestive system, but it seemed just fine, and I stuck pretty much to what I had planned to eact yesterday, except I only had oatmeal once because I had a meeting that lasted from 11am-1pm, so I missed lunch then had to go straight to an eye exam, so no time for food before my TOPS meeting! At least I lost a pound at my weigh-in (which makes up or the pound I gained last week!).
Today's plan is:
instant oatmeal (peaches 'n cream flavor, reduced-sugar, made with water)
cheese pizza (either 1 giant slice or 2 normal slices )
reduced-fat chocolate milk
I'm driving to Va Beach tonight, so we probably won't have any real dinner--maybe just grab some fruit or a granola bar at a gas station on the way. This weekend will be a challenge since I am seing my parents and sister--I'm sure we will eat out for almost every meal AND they will pay, which makes it even harder to choose wisely but I have to be good to break this plateau--I've been hovering around the same 3 pounds since the beginning of August!
So, now that I've explained my absences, here's my eats for the last 3 days.
Glad you joined us!
