B egg on toast with mushrooms, salsa and goat cheese. Coffee with milk.
L will be rabbit stew. All the little bones are super annoying...slows down eating, I suppose.
D not sure.
Have a good day, everyone.
Ps...Diana, the kids are 50/50 on the stew, as usual. Hope the angioedema flare is a short one.
I've been MIA for a few days, but not because I fell off track! I've actually been doing pretty well with eating the last few days. I just didn't want to open up my computer after staring at one all day at work.
I had my root canal this morning and it was really uncomfortable and my mouth is sore now, but at least it's over with. Earlier this week I went spinning and I've been trying to keep my sugar intake low(er).
For breakfast I had my usual two scrambled eggs in Kerrygold grass-fed butter, a cup of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries, and an iced coffee, but I used stevia instead of sugar along with my organic heavy cream.
Since my mouth hurts today I had a cup of hot and sour soup for lunch and I'll probably have that for dinner tonight too.
Hope everyone else is doing well!
Diana, I know what you mean about being a little afraid of food. I think back to when I lost 70 pounds. I was soooooo strict, but as soon as I started letting different foods back in I gained quite a bit back. That said, I really want to get to a point where I don't have to be afraid to have something good once in awhile. It's the once in a while part that's hard!
Down a pound to 168.6lbs. No hash run tonight because the weather is iffy. I don't like running in the rain and it looks like it might storm.
Breakfast was sardines, smoked oysters (wahey!) and oats. Lunch was my usual with sockeye salmon, octopus, squid, smoked oysters and a crab cake.
Exercise was a 4 mile run before work and 50 minutes weight training before lunch. I can't wait for the weekend.
Flower123, crab cakes are great. But they are better if you make them yourself. I do and skip the bread crumbs and mayonnaise. That way I am essentially left with a delicious, protein bomb with no filler. I prepare 6 each week and freeze them. I then defrost one each day, zap it in the microwave for 90 seconds and eat one with my lunch. They range in size from 6-7 ounces.
I used to use canned crab but found that it was cheaper to use fresh or pasteurized. I buy 2lbs of jumbo lump or lump crab a week. Sometimes I add canned shrimp if I want to make the mixture stretch further.
hi all just checking in...i am back to my regular school-year routine so i might be able to check in more...right now i'm doing hard interval workouts on the elliptical/air trainer/pneumatic thing at the gym which i really like AND it doesn't bother my ankle or knee, which running was doing...i'm still able to get my heart rate into the 160s-170s and be pouring sweat, so it must still be a good workout...and i'm not gasping for air, which i do at times when i run due to asthma
i'm working on eating good and only eating when hungry....i feel like i maintained my weight throughout the summer and now i'd like to take a little bit more off
i might adjust my ticker....i'm not sure...scale is reading up to 207 right now BUT i'm still fitting the exact same clothes i've always worn, including jeans with not much leeway in fit....weird!!!....so i guess i've gained some but it wasn't all over the summer....or maybe my scale is broken because i remember it giving me that exact same reading last spring so i finally quit using it...hmmm
Hi all, quick check in, our power has been off and on, t-storms, internet is iffy, too, have a good night.
Hunter got his staples out, did good, he's napping now, he doesn't like thunder too much. One more quill came out, she said there might be another one in his leg, yeesh. Picked up the CSA in the rainstorm we pulled into a gas station because it was like driving a submarine for a few mins, weird stuff, then blue skies.
I did good today. We went out to eat since I didn't have dinner planned (need to meal plan asap) and I looked up my meal beforehand and split it in half. Hubby ate the other half later, so no chance of changing my mind.
Hi everybody! Another arse kicking day at work. Ended with some quick intervention on a patient that wasn't even mine. Woof! Lol. 13900 steps. 17 flights of stairs (really? I know I took the stairs all day today but wow!).
Kelijpa- glad to hear some stitches and another quill came out! Our poor fur people... they get into the darndest situations.
Laughter- I might try a new scale... just to see. Or you've got more muscle and less flub so things fit OK... my scale hasn't moved much but I can see I'm leaning out a bit...
Diana- eesh. Hope that clears quickly!!! No fun. Sorry to hear it.
Syckgirlsfv- how'd it go?
Ian- Rain runs can be sooo good though! One of my best memories of running was a night run, in the rain, with college friends...
Food today... Fitbit is telling me I can eat 744 more calories but I don't think I need to...
Breakfast- vanilla chia almond milk pudding with cinnamon and agave (first time trying it- pretty tasty! Gonna try blending it next time so it's smooth rather than tapioca-esque.) Coffee with half and half. (360 cals)
Lunch- Healthy Choice Chicken Margherita bowl, mixed green beans, wax beans and carrots. Unsweetened iced tea. (385 cals)
Snack- Coffee with half and half and sugar in the raw. (60 cals)
Dinner- Polish sausage with bun, relish, ketchup, mustard and sauerkraut. Greek coleslaw and Italian pasta salad. Stone IPA session ale (gift from a friend- trade for a nursing textbook.) Guesstimating completely on the salads, because I can't find the nutrition info anywhere... total for dinner (1054).
Today's total: 1859.
Hope everyone has a good night. I'm going to crawl into bed and ice my poor foot. Yowch... first day back on the floor since breaking the toe was not very fun...
STILL weighing in at 152 - I'm happy with that for now. Tonight we're going to ride our bikes at least 20 miles, so that should start driving the scale down again. This is the lightest I have been since 2006!
B - Belvita breakfast biscuits
S - apple
L - I purposely did not bring lunch today so that I would be forced to leave my office and go OUT! Probably Subway
D - not too sure yet, 20 mile bike ride first!
