Today not so good. Meals good. Cookies in between meals not so much! Really need my meeting tomorrow!
The stress of moving overseas in 6 weeks is really hitting me. I have TONS to finish at work which takes priority over everything else at the moment, but the stress it's giving me is causing me to eat!

Breakfast (9:00 am):
Protein Smoothie made with:
10 oz. Tropical Blend Diet V8 Splash
1 scoop of Vanilla Max Protein
2 tsp. Fiber Supplement
1/2 Goya Fruta Mango Fruit Pulp
Frozen Peaches & Strawberries
Slip Up (9:15 am):
1/4 Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie
My absolute favorite cookie flavor at work is this cookie. It is a seasonal flavor so it is only around for 3 months. Today the receptionist decided to put them out as samples and when I walked by this morning I just took one without even really thinking. Thankfully it shook me back to reality and I have resisted the urge every other time I've walked by today. I am praying for strength to resist the rest of the day.
Physical Activity (11:30 am):
Swam 26 laps (650 yards) in 30 minutes
Lunch (1:30 pm):
1 Hard Boiled Egg
Chicken & Couscous Salad
Afternoon Snack (4:00 pm):

Grabbed another piece on my way out the door. Grrrr.
Dinner (6:30 pm):

Slice of Light Provolone Cheese
Sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese
Evening Snack (7:15 pm):
3/4 of a regular Gelati from Rita's made with
Sugar-Free Citrus Green Tea Italian Ice
Slenderita Custard
I should have stopped at like half way through the Gelati as I ended up feeling way uncomfortable and bloated when I finally slowed down and realized I was past full. Just a reminder I need to S.L.O.W. down when I eat.
Physical Activity:
Walked 1.7 Miles
After taking my nieces to Rita's, they didn't want to go home yet so we walked around downtown. I was glad to do it as I was totally uncomfortable after eating too much and could use the movement and it hasn't been unbelievably hot lately which is great.
Spiritual/Mental/Emotional Work:
Spending time with my nieces is always good for me mentally and emotionally!
Oh and getting my registration information and official loan confirmation for school was also great emotionally and mentally.

Breakfast (9:30 am):
Protein Smoothie made with:
8 oz. Berry Blend Diet V8 Splash
1 scoop of vanilla Max Protein
2 tsp. Fiber Supplement
1/4 cup Frozen Blueberries
1/2 cup Frozen Peaches
3/4 cup Frozen Strawberries
Lunch (12:45 pm):
1/3 cup Crab Dip mixed with 1/4 cup Shredded Chicken
2 LaTortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Garlic & Herb Tortillas brushed with Olive Oil & sprinkled with Old Bay and baked in the oven for 12 minutes at 375
There was a little crab dip left over from yesterday so I decided to make it even more protein rich by adding the tiny bit of left over chicken we had from another meal. I was trying to figure out what to dip in it as I didn't want carb rich bread or even the pita chips we have. I decided to try baking some tortilla pieces in the oven until crispy and it worked perfectly! With all the fiber, 2 tortillas are only 6 net carbs! Not to mention 10 grams of protein, just in the chips!
If you decide to try this at home, the tortillas need to get rather dark to be crispy. I tasted one that was golden brown after about 7 minutes and it had some chewy spots. The Old Bay added a nice flavor and worked well with the herbs already baked into the tortillas. This is definitely a trick I WILL be trying again!
Physical Activity (2:30 pm):
Walked to and from the store (total of 1+ miles)
Afternoon Snack (5:00 pm):
4 medium Strawberries
12 small Wheat Crackers
I went to a neighbors for appetizers and unfortunately, none of the snacks were very protein rich. I wanted to take something bariatric friendly so I tried making some Lemon Glazed Shortbread from Bariatric Eating but they turned out AWFUL! They never baked in the oven but rather boiled! I followed the directions exactly so I don't know what happened. I was irritated as I wasted so much time, energy, and expensive and hard to come by (have to be ordered) ingredients. It actually put me in sort of a fowl mood for the rest of the evening.
Dinner (7:00 pm):
Plain Thomas' Bagel Thin
2 tbsp Light Cream Cheese
Not the most bariatric friendly meal I know but not every day can be perfect!
Evening Snack (8:30 pm):
Chewy Chocolate Chip Pure Protein Bar
Since my dinner had barely any protein, I decided a protein bar was in order before I retire for the night.
Evening Pills (when I go to bed):

Spiritual/Emotional/Mental Work for the Day:
Not much, though I did spend an hour or more reading for pleasure this morning which was quite nice. None of the reading was OA or WLS related but it was UK related which, at the moment, is just as important for me mentally.

Breakfast (9:15 am):
Protein Smoothie (approx. 20 oz.) made with:
10 oz. of Berry Blend Diet V8 Splash
1 Scoop Vanilla Max Protein
2 tsp Fiber Supplement
1/2 Frozen Banana
1/2 Goya Mango Fruit Pulp
1 cup Frozen Strawberries
Lactaid Pill (the Lactose from the Whey Protein doesn't agree with my stomach)
Lunch (1:30 pm):
2 Hard Boiled Eggs
2 Strawberries
I spent all morning working on my UK Visa application and before I knew it, it was after 1 and I was famished!
Afternoon Pills (3:30 pm):
Calcium
I get all my vitamins directly from my doctor. They are the offices' (there are 3 different offices in the area under the same practice) own "brand". They are easily digestible for WLS patients (duh!) and the prices are reasonable, often times cheaper then other bariatric vitamins. All but my calcium are pills I can just swallow. For whatever reason the calcium tablet flavors very each time I get them. Sometimes they are a yummy citrusy flavor. This time they are just generic fruit and not so good but it's easy enough to crunch on for a second and swallow.
Afternoon Snack (4:00 pm):
3 Murray Sugar Free Oatmeal Cookies
I know, I know, not the greatest choice but they are the one thing that keeps me from eating all the REAL cookies around here! Carbs don't cause any problems for me (honestly, not many foods really do) but I know I am supposed to limit them. While these cookies may be more carb rich then other snack options, they are sugar free so they don't send me off on a binge. As I said yesterday, I am still figuring all this out. I may be almost one year post op and it may seem like I should have this all down by now but, for me, this is going to be a life long learning process, of that, I am sure!
Dinner (6:30 pm):
2 Slices of Thin Crust Cheese Pizza
Not the most stellar dinner. Friday is pizza night in my parents' house so I either eat pizza with the family or cook something for myself. I should have just eaten one piece, as I was satisfied after just one, but pizza is somewhat of a trigger food so I went ahead and had a second piece which left me feeling pretty well stuffed. Thankfully my family has started ordering the thin crust pizza since my surgery so it's not nearly as bad as the pan pizza they used to order!
Evening Snack (8:15 pm):

(Out of my Prilosec. Need to restock ASAP!)
Breakfast (9:00 am):
Protein Smoothie (approx. 20 oz.) made with:
10 oz. of Tropical Blend Diet V8 Splash
1 Scoop Vanilla Max Protein
2 tsp Fiber Supplement
Mix of Frozen Fruits (Peaches, Blueberries, Mangos, and Strawberries)
Lunch (12:15 pm):
From Hard Times Cafe:
2/3 of a Grilled Chicken Breast topped with Cheddar Cheese and Bacon
4-5 bites of Salad (No Dressing)
Slip-Up (2:00 pm):
1/4 of a 2 oz. Double Chocolate Cookie from work
I had to cover the front desk this afternoon and they often put samples out on the counter. I was taking the samples to throw them out so I wouldn't munch on them myself and still ended up eating a piece. At least it's better then having a whole cookie and I know myself well enough to know I couldn't stare at an entire tray of cookies for 3 hours and not be tempted. So I guess, kudos for knowing that and taking action (even if I did stumble a bit).
Afternoon Snack (3:30 pm):
9 Turkey Pepperonis
Light String Cheese
I know some people are adamant about not snacking. At first my surgeon was with me as well but at my last appointment I reiterated that I get very famished between meals, particularly lunch and dinner, and he said so long as my snacks are healthy and smaller then a meal, I can have one or two a day. I tend to like string cheese, nuts, and fruits as snacks.
Dinner (5:45 pm):
1 1/2 Eggs Scrambled with:
Spinach
Ham
2% Cheddar and Provolone Cheese
Evening Snack (9:00 pm):
1/2 No Sugar Added Apple Tart
I do regularly have some sort of sugar-free or no sugar added treat as an evening snack. Since it's a planned snack, it helps to keep me from mindlessly eating all night long. It also keeps me from gorging on sugary sweets. It appeals to my taste for a treat but doesn't send me off on a binge. I am still figuring out just what works for me and what doesn't. This is all a learning process.
