I hope you fell back to sleep as I sure didn't. Went to bed at 1030 and was frozen trying to warm up til 1130 then finally got up and put more clothes on as I was freezing then dozed off half an hour and woke up nauseated and been up since. I guess I picked up a bug of some sort. DH gone back to work and contractor here until tomorrow so am going to take it easy and hope whatever this is goes away and fast.
B - protein shake
L - veggie and bean soup
S - greek yogurt
D - chicken breast with artichokes, plum tomatoes and garlic, green salad

I used canned artichoke hearts for this recipe. Very simple and easy and everyone seems to love it. I have changed it a bit from the original as they put far too much cheese on it for my liking so I just reduced that and use more garlic. I made up 10 breasts that way and baked it then froze them and we are now eating them. I've done fresh artichokes a few times but find them a pain in the ass so don't bother.
Morning Barb, Tracey, and everyone else. :) Hope you both get better sleep tonight, and feel better soon, Tracey.
Just got back last night from the Great Christmas Baking Extravaganza with my mom. Happily, I weighed myself this morning and didn't gain an ounce over the last three days of baking. Didn't lose any weight either, but that's to be expected, considering it was just about impossible for me to bake without occasionally sampling a bite or two of the results, and occasionally licking dough off my fingers. I was pretty careful though - one bite didn't turn into 10 cookies. And we had healthy meals.
However, I am still up three pounds due to a few bad eating days last week - didn't lose those pounds over the last few days of baking, so today, it's back to planning hard and eating well and hopefully getting some exercise in too - I like your idea, Barb, of setting a 10,000 step goal. I used to walk that much almost every day. No reason why I can't continue to do that.
Today I have a meeting downtown (not for work, but for a volunteer thing I do - I'm on vacation for most of this week except tomorrow), then my kid has his first guitar lesson tonight, then I'm going to another monthly meeting I do as a volunteer. Bringing Christmas cookies to both meetings for people who want them, but I'll be bringing my own food for myself so I'm not tempted to delve into the cookies myself. And I think I'll take the TTC today to the downtown meeting. My expenses for the meeting are covered, but the TTC is cheaper than parking, and I get a lot more exercise when I take the subway and buses rather than driving door-to-door.
1 YEAR POST-RNY
B - Premier Protein shake
S - 1/2 cup light ricotta/vanilla/splenda mix with 1 oz almonds and 1 clementine orange
L - Salmon sashimi and miso soup - not sure how many pieces of sashimi since I've never been to the restaurant before, but I'll count 6 pieces.
S - Another 1/2 cup light ricotta/vanilla/splenda mix with another clementine, or whatever fruit is available at the meeting - they usually have a platter. Repeating because it's easy, and because it's comfort food so will help me resist whatever goodies are served there.
D - I'm going to bring a rotisserie chicken home tonight and make a side of mashed potatoes and salad to go with it. So, 4 oz rotisserie chicken breast, some salad, and 2 tbsps mashed potatoes.
S - 1 cup skim milk, 25g Special K Protein
TOTALS: 148g protein, 60g fat, 74 carbs, 1477 calories

Three hours sleep isn't much. If I had the wine at lunch I would be asleep in the afternoon. LOL. I find I do not exercise well in the evening. So yesterday and today I did the bike to get me started. Also some of the exercises from the physio. Also changing my menu a little. see how it works. Had a good evening at TWH last night.
