  • B - 1 Yoplait vanilla yogurt and 1 cup cubed cantaloupe
    S - 1 10 calorie tub sugar free cherry jello
    L - 1.5 cups homemade beans (these things won't EVER be gone!!!!), 1 piece mozzarella string cheese, 1 rice cake
    S - 1 small apple, 1 cup cubed cantaloupe (the addiction rages on!)

    Dinner has options...
    The "my husband's not eating dinner tonight" option (happens a lot of Fridays) - 1 boca burger on bread with cheese and oven baked fries, and a low-fat Skinny Cow Truffle ice cream bar (100 cal!)

    The "Husband's eating and I don't have time to cook a meal" option...fast food chicken, with green beans, cut the roll and fries.

    Within calorie range. Low if it's the Boca burger option...I'll have to beef it up....
  • Friday:
    B - juice, starbucks protein plate: hard boiled egg white (didn't eat the yolk), PB, two apple slices, a few grapes, two small slices cheese, one ww mini bagel
    L - two slices pizza (papa john's)
    S - broccoli, one scoop of chili
    D - frozen pocket sandwich, glass of wine, hot chocolate w/kahlua, I don't even remember what else, it was a bad night
    Total - ????
    Exercise - none
  • Hey guys, I am officially diagnosed - sinus infection. Got some meds, still so tired. I completely lost my voice, I sound like flipper. Eating like crazy, had half a SB muffin today - pure-T craziness. I feel like I've undone all my hard work. Hopefully, I'll feel better next week.
  • Saturday:
    B - raisin bran, milk
    S - bite of power bar
    L - salmon, rice
    S - orange, slice of bread, apple
    D - bbq burger at Red Robin, including fries, lemonade cocktail
    S - butterscotch pudding
    Total - ???
    Exercise - swam 15 laps (35 mins), 10 miles on stationary bike (40 minutes)
  • Glory - hope you feel better soon, the meds should help. Did they give you steroids? I got a steroid shot for my last SI and I was starving constantly..

    Today:
    Still not able to exercise...

    B: PB&J (still no milk for smoothie either...), coffee
    L: Southwest salad from McDonald's
    D: Chargrilled & Fruit Salad from Chick Fil-A
    S: fun sized butterfinger bar
    S: yogurt cup
    S: kashi go lean

    DSS weekend + still somewhat convalescing = fast food salads all weekend. Actually, I'm way under calories for the day so far, so might add in an extra snack.
  • Glory~my DH and I suffered for years with sinus infections. We finally gave it and sleep with a cold-air humidifier in our bedroom. It helps. Also, they found last year (?) that it didn't make any difference as to the duration of a sinus infection if you got antibiotics or not. So, last year I got another and decided not to fill the Rx. And you know what, I still got over it in about a week or so--the same as it would have been with the Rx. Weird.

    Not so OP today.

    E~nothing but errands
    B~egg and cheese quesadilla, 1/2 c leftover mac and cheese
    L~mac and cheese and green beans (DS persuaded me to make this last night for dinner--it is now gone!)
    D~grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup--another DS request

    I think it is better when DH is home
  • Hi! Would it be okay if I post here? I'm trying to lose a little bit of weight/maintain at least my current weight (I'd been gaining steadily over the past few months and I want to stop the creep up).

    Sunday 2/1:
    B: Smoothie with fat free yogurt, banana, and mixed berries
    L: Ham on whole wheat bread, small yogurt, carrot sticks
    S: Apple with pb
    S: Frozen grapes
    S: Cheddar cheese with multi grain crackers
    D: Cheese pizza (with whole wheat crust) with minestrone soup
    S: Protein bar
    Total: 1700 calories
  • Welcome MadelineinVA!

    Today:
    Still no allowed exercise, though lots of stair climbing with DSS...

    B: PB&J, coffee
    L: Mandarin Chicken Salad from Wendy's
    S: oreo cakesters (sympathy snack with my MIL while she fussed about her most recent doctor visit in her ongoing effort to get cleared for her cancer surgery)
    S: Starbucks Nonfat Vanilla Rooibos Latte - yummy, but too calorie rich for most days as a beverage
    D: DH's SuperBowl Nachos. As far as I can tell, tortilla chips, white cheese dip, ground turkey breast with taco seasoning, lettuce, tomato, chopped tomato, salsa. I convinced him to prepare everything separate so we can portion different things for ourselves. So, I'm going to go light on the cheese and the chips, heavier on the lettuce, tomato, salsa and turkey. We'll see how it goes... It is the first Super Bowl in awhile without DSS (3 years old, so no real appreciation for football) so DH is very excited about being able to make his nachos and watch the game with me...
    S: most likely will use every last calorie I have and then some on nacho-palooza
  • Sunday:
    B - raisin bran, milk
    S - three bite-sized cookies
    L - leftover chili
    D - more chili, two beers
    S - two and a half brownies, one and a half slices dried pineapple, three and a half butterscotch blondies
    Total - ????
    Exercise - walked 6.25 miles
