My eating
yesterday wasn’t as good as it could have been. I was rushed in the morning and
instead of making my usual 50g protein shake, I made a big latte (sugar free
and low fat) for the drive to work. I brought some cheese sticks for breakfast but
ended up not eating them. Lunch was my usual cottage cheese with bacon and
sunflower seeds.
I had a 28g
Chike protein shake for midafternoon, but forgot to bring my cheese sticks for
the drive home. Instead I bought some mixed nuts and ate most of the bag before
realizing it was a 3-serving bag and the whole mess was 450 calories. Yikes. I
figured that would be my dinner, but I was hungry by the time I got home and
had some of my Trader Joe’s blueberry goat cheese and crackers. I think my body
knows when it hasn’t been kept nourished during the day because the munchies
came back later that evening and I reached for some Godiva truffles sitting
near the couch. They were good, but not that good. After they were gone, I
reached for a big bag of M&Ms I won in a raffle basket. Lucky for me, the
bag would not open, so I tossed it aside to take to a party.
Well, my
not-on-plan eating didn’t do any damage, but it did me no favors, either. Today
I got back on the narrow path with my protein shake for the morning commute,
usual lunch, and now I'm having Chobani Greek yogurt for a midafternoon snack. And
maybe this time I’ll remember the cheese sticks for the drive home.
I am a work
in progress and I need occasional touch-ups.
I read lots
of other WLS blogs and get great recipes I want to try on the weekend when I
have more time. Reading blogs today compelled me to hop on Amazon and buy PB2,
which is powdered peanut butter with most of the fat removed; Atkins
all-purpose baking mix; and a 3-pack of Torani sugar-free chocolate syrup. I
have not yet tried any WLS-friendly baking recipes, so that should be fun. My
daughter bought a countertop doughnut baker, and if I can come up with
something high-proteiny and low-carby, I’ll be happy.
See you
tomorrow.
