Enjoy the rest of your Saturday night (and no more snacking! )
I Just typed up a big long post & lost it. I didn't want cookies @ my mom's computer
Today I went to a seminar about my kidney disease (PKD) so my choices were non-existent, ie--I ate what they offered me.
4/23
1 cup coffee w/2% milk
1/2 liter water
1/2 bagel
1 packet cream cheese (you know the kind, they have @ meetings & other 'continental' breakfasts--I ask you, on what continent is this 'breakfast'? )
another 1/2 bagel
another packet cream cheese
Box lunch consisting of:
1 tuna salad sandwich on a bun w/cheese, tomato & lettuce, I added yellow mustard
3/4 cup potato salad
3/4 cup fresh fruit
2 chocolate chip cookies
2 tea bags (1 lemon, 1 green) steeped in 1 cup hot water, then added to
another 1/2 liter of water, half of which had already been drank, to make iced tea.
1/2 that 1/2 liter of water, before it became iced tea
1 can diet coke
1 green apple
another 1/2 liter water
1 wedge Laughing Cow LITE cheese
1/2 tuna sandwich from above (they had leftovers, which we brought home), as an appetizer while cooking dinner
1 cube steak, George'd (cooked on the Foreman Grill) w/8 oz mushrooms sauteed in 1/2 Tbsp butter
1 cup nuked spinach w/1/2 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup of that damned potato salad~!
So. There were better choices to be had. I could've traded my cookies for someone else's fruit cup & generously gave away my potato salad. But I ate it, I am admitting it, and now I will move on. For supper I savored every last bite of it, knowing I won't have any more until possibly this summer @ my Uncle Mike's, if we have a picnic.

So, yesterday was a family gathering for Pesach (Passover), and what we Jewish people call a Seder, which includes a service, the sampling of various ritual foods, followed by a meal.....I am congratulating myself on making healthy choices!
Porridge, banana
The various ritual foods (small amounts): matzo, watercress, grated horseradish, charoseth (chopped walnuts, apples, cinammon)
Hard boiled egg in salt water (its traditional!)
Clear soup (without the kneidlach - dumplings)
Chicken marinated in honey and mustard (skin removed), green beans, 3 small roast potatoes
Pineapple (OK, it was marinated in rum, but I took the least marinated bits!)
Mint tea, water (no wine.....its not difficult to refuse kosher wine, believe me!)
It was a good evening - last year my mum was too ill for us to celebrate......so it was great that this year she is in much better shape!
SAPF - I think the good eats you had far outnumbered the bad (I'm not going to castigate you too much for a couple of cookies and some potato salad - but I AM keeping an eye on you)
ARTIST - Good for you! Avoiding the temptations of "special meals", especially when family is involved, is worthy of a hearty pat on the back. I've got a hankering for some of that charoseth, mmmmm. Glad your mum was able to join you.
I've just finished my brekkie of 1c kashi Go Lean with 1/2c low-fat milk, medium banana and huge mug of tea with milk.
Another jam-packed day for me, so I'll see you tonight (and I want to see all those good eats ) Happy Sunday, all.
Its hard not to snack when you are drinking, but so far so good

Well I did lousy yesterday. Back at it and doing great today. I did allright up until the chips and desserts. That left me no calories for dinner and then I did not make the best choices at dinner. It was my treat meal day but I went over my alloted caloreis by 1350. Here it goes for yesterday.
1 cup Kashi w/ 1/2 cup blueberries
1 braut w/bun
1/4 cup cole slaw
1/4 baked beans

Back on track - that's the important thing, Howie (tell me - did you really enjoy it at the time or did you have that nagging guilt feeling at the back of your brain? I know when I was in Russia overindulging for days at a time I'd lay in bed at night and feel crummy...)
Claire, isn't it funny sometimes how you think you haven't had the greatest day and then when you write it down it doesn't look so bad at all? Looks to me like you're having one of those moments!
Why is it, when I go on some type of diet, after the first few days, I have to make myself eat?
Here it is, 5:30, and I haven't eaten anything all day. I'm not hungry. There are several items in the house, right now, that I would love to sink my teeth into, but I'm not hungry. And the stuff I'm talking about is NOT diet friendly, so that is a plus, or is it? hmmmmm
Anyway, I'm fixing to make me a tuna salad and maybe I can eat all of it. *shrug*
The only thing that nagged at me was Saturday night at the buffet I went back for a second dessert. Other than that I really enjoyed it and did not feel to guilty. However I woke up with awful heartburn and then really was ticked at myself and knew that I ate too much and made some bad choices. I'm past it though and am back at it and looking forward to weigh in day. I know the one-day should not affect me too much on the scale so life goes on. That's what’s great about it this time around I finally realized that one meal or even one day week ect... does not totally undo all the good I've done. I can start fresh at the next bite and get right back at it.
It's Sunday and I stayed on plan again this weekend. But, again, I am VERY Thankful for flex points.
Howie - Good job on getting right back on track.
SAPF - When you don't get to plan your meals it can be tough. How was today??
Good job everyone else!!!

44- TOTAL (12 flex points used)
Maybe not the smartest thing to do (using 12 flex points the day before weigh in), but today was challenging. For some reason I wanted to eat everything in sight!! Somehow I managed to save 1 flex point!!! You can tell by my list of food that I was munching.
One of my chemo side effects is an ever-present awful mouth-taste. You'll do anything to get that taste out of your mouth, and so you tend to go for stronger flavors. I find that I eat the worst the first few days after treatment, and then I can get back into my healthier routine. It's especially hard during these first days. I'm going to try really hard to make sure tomorrow's a LOT better, even if I don't feel better. Anyway, here's today's report:
Sunday, 4/24
Lunch: 2 slices thin cheese pizza; 4 buffalo wings Mid-PM: 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt; ½ cup blueberries Dinner: 3 oz. grilled beef tenderloin with ½ tbsp. A-1; ¾ cup potato gnocchi in reduced fat cream sauce (used skim milk) with Pecorino Romano; salad of 3 cups romaine, 1 Roma tomato, 5 croutons, and 1 ½ tbsp. reduced fat ranch dressing; 1 Miller Light PM: 1 cup mint chocolate chip ice cream Water: 80 oz.
