Tuesday, November 3: Direction

[Tyrone Bill]

The compass will be pointing in the same direction I am traveling right now. Staying on plan on a day to day basis. Thanksgiving dinner will offer many LC choices. Portion size of each choice will be such that I can have a sampling of many offered and still stay on plan. This is the way I handle all the holidays that revolve around eating and large meal.

Tuesday 11/3/09

Breakfast- 1/2c cottage cheese, 7 breakfast sausage links, 47gms strawberries. 2c green tea.
40gms protein, 9gms carbs

Lunch- 2 roast beef rollups; 4ozs deli roast beef, 2ozs deli swiss cheese, 2 red leaf lettuce leafs, 1T chipotle mayonnaise, 1 med peach(3-1/2ozs), 2c green tea
42gms protein, 9gms carbs.

Supper- Baked orange-roughy fillet; 1/2c green beans; 1/2 med peach, 2c green tea.
42gms protein, 9gms carbs.

Hey Karole...while I was home last weekend my mother asked me to make those hot homemade yeast rolls.
She wanted to "pass on the recipe"...
I said, if I learn how to make them, do I inherit the bowl you make them in?
She said yes...I said okay.

I made them....and ate them for breakfast that day (no real food, just the rolls)...then put them away in the freezer.
I hope that is the last time I ever have to "taste" them again.

I just want the bowl...I REALLY want the bowl...
But is it worth making my belly the SIZE of the bowl??
It's a little larger than this bowl.


Hm.... maybe I should reconsider.

Hi, everybody! What a great conversation we've got going here! Sanity rules.

Amy, I've got a huge, wonderful crock bowl that only reigns over my kitchen from a high shelf. I never use it any more, but I would never get rid of it. Definitely not worth growing a belly to match.

Becca don't worry about straying from the "prescribed" meals. I never follow recipes and I just ate my usual lc meat and veggies throughout. Thanksgiving should fit right in.

Somebody brought in bagels today and they're right across the hall from my office so I can smell them. Funny thing is they aren't calling my name! I just classify the aroma and ignore them. I love this!

[Karole]

Hope you get the bowl Ammy !! ( Maybe next time your Mom wants to pass on a recipe you will "pass" on eating it. )

Boy, I know how home made rolls call to me --so good to eat, so bad to feel for the next day or two, both physically and mentally.

I've changed the thread title (but the individual posts that are already there still show the old title).

Today was a bummer as I have some type of stomach virus and have not felt like doing anything . We were supposed to start our waltz lessons tonight and I don't even feel like doing that. I might spread whatever I have so would stay home regardless. Dh has this too only he started a day earlier than I did.

I'm so disappointed about missing the waltz lesson as it took a while for me to talk him into it !

A rough day out with a possible flu, getting snow tires and having several tasks. I did not get one meal at home so the carbs are higher but teh cals were way down so hopefully I keep the weight down.
I am having a weights workout tonight the The Sarah Conner Chronicles and an early to bed.

Not much to report, had my 3 shakes and my warmed up quiche for lunch. Been hungry this evening and am getting a headache, hopefully one I can sleep off as it's not too bad yet.


1 week down and I haven't slipped up yet.

Ate as planned, skipped the snack. Trying to think up something for dinner tomorrow night. I'll be going to the gym after work so it has to be something I can throw together quickly as no doubt I'll be starving by the time I get home.
