5/22 Monitor Monday

[Billie]

Here's your chance to post your menu, and read everyone elses'. Great way to stay accountable and see what others are eating. Feel free to join in, on Tuesday we will all review the menu's and give feedback.

Breakfast: Low carb cereal with milk, maybe part of an orange

Lunch: Will be at a luncheon buffet and will check in later--ahh the lunch buffet was a choice of either macaroni and cheese or biscuits and gravy--no thanks! So I had a small salad and came back to the office for some lc bread, with an egg and bacon.

Dinner: I think we are having chicken picata with capers, not sure what else--I cooked and marinated chicken breasts in lemon, olive oil, garlic and tarragon and a small serving of rice with snap peas. Wanted some avocados, but after opening one and it was not rotten and the next was not yet ripe decided not to try a third,

Today was a Canadian Holiday (Victoria Day) so I'm quite late and don't have teh detailed report that I normally have. We had family in, and they all slept late so I got a few hours in on the garden and then we visited the market, came home and played cards, then we watched "The Family Stone", which was a great movie.

Breakfast: Chocolate/Blueberry shake, Chicken thigh.
Snack: 2 oz. Cheese curds, half lemon blended in with ice and some sweetener.
Lunch: 10 oz. Salmon, Faux-tatoes, salad and LC dressing
Snack: Small piece of ice cream Birthday cake (likely 40 ECC) and some cheese
Dinner: PB Sandwich on LC Bun

My rough totals
Protein: 175
ECC: 76 - my highest in quite a while.
ECC:

Oh dear. :)

1) 2 frozen teriyaki chicken breast (5 g ECC each) and ... umm ... a vitamin.
2) Chicken caesar salad (no bread, no croutons, extra chicken) ... and barbeque boneless breaded chicken wings! :( Oh no Mr. Bill! I don't even know how many carbs that might've had (stupid pre-made frozen work food not having nutritional info on the boxes), so when I DietPower-ed it I put in the highest carb count chicken nuggets and a full cup of barbeque sauce (although I probably only have 1/4c at most) to get a high estimate.

I wonder why I so often end up with only two meals on Mondays?

Good news: Went to a movie after work and wasn't tempted at all by candy or popcorn.
Better news: after having too many carbs at dinner I didn't do what I have historically always done: "Oh well, day's wasted, might as well stuff myself to the gills with chocolate!" :) Yay me! Although I will admit some of it was having a "what would Billie say!" moment. :p

Protein: 125g.
ECC (obviously estimated): 68. Hmm, maybe it's not so bad after all. :) We'll see how many gallons of water I'm retaining tomorrow, that'll tell me if 68 is too low.

My monday, being a holiday, was not typical, either. I cannot remember half of it.

Breakfast - sausage round on a scone (lc)

The rest of the day, in no particular order:

protein powder in unsweetened soy milk
scone with cream cheese on it
small piece of homemade almond bark (to try it)

wonderful steak and salad (mixed greens) with rasp vinaigrette on it for supper

coffee, tea

I'm sure I had something around lunch, but I can't remember what.

I remember having a piece of cheese and sharing it with the dogs at one point through the day.
