Here’s how yesterday shook out for me, food-wise:

B: Peanut butter on a rice cake

S: Lunch meat/cheese roll-up

L: Tilapia w/ fire roasted tomatoes

S: PowerCrunch Bar

D: My boyfriend discovered we can get free pizzas at Pizza Studio (think…Subway for pizzas. You choose a crust and then have someone make it from a gazillion toppings) if you…[Read more]

Yay! That seems to be going well for you so far. Continuing with that habit, you’ll probably make it into second nature pretty soon.

Link to your blog?

By the way, good plan!

Sounds like a plan! Kudos to you for thinking this through so thoroughly.

Yay! Vacation! Do you know where you’re going yet?

I’m so glad your labs are ok – but even gladder to hear your commitment to getting your vitamin regimen sorted out! Woot!

You made it! That’s the truly important thing, I think. Kudos! Your meals sound good.

I am also a rage cleaner. 😉

That works well for me too, writing down what I’m going to eat for the day. There’s something about that process that makes me SUPER committed. Like…it becomes the biggest deal to deviate from that plan!

The trick is…making yourself write it all down every day. (Yep.)

Mondays. Ugh. I get it.

I looked at your zero inbox aspiration and actually laughed out loud at the thought of getting there. Well…I should say I laughed at the prospect of the Bariatric Foodie email inbox to get there. For my work inbox I do a purge every few months. Sigh. The thought overwhelms me.

Overall, I was inspired to read your daily…[Read more]

Well @robin-miller, we have similar temps today! I think the high is only supposed to be 68 or something like that. Very strange for August! Also strange is the fact that my tomato plants seem to have gotten a second wind in this crazy weather! It’s been rainy and cooler than normal all month and I have crazy tomatoes fruiting. I don’t think…[Read more]

Ok I think you’ve laid out your challenges really well. Question: When you’d do your shake before, would it be ready to drink? I know Premier shakes hold up well, especially if you put them in an insulated lunch bag with a cooling pack. Is it a problem to pull one out and have it while the students are doing work or sipping on it throughout a…[Read more]

I think you made great choices for your birthday dinner! I have to tell you the truth: bok choy kind of stresses me out. It’s like you have to go all in. There is no biting off a little bit. Either you are eating all of that sucker or none of it! 😉

Good plan for this week. I hope you had managed a few fun things on vacay!

My very first dietitian gave me some great advice, which was to try to fit as many colors of the rainbow into my diet as possible, with emphases on the colors green and brown (by that I took her to mean protein, not like brown bread). When I’m on top of my game, that’s the standard I try to follow!

Since our mini pledge challenge has been extended a week, my pledge this week is to work on drinking liquids before I snack to try and keep the stress eating to a minimum.

I extended the mini-pledge to include this upcoming week (mostly because there’s a gap between this week and the start of our 5k stuff…that’s the tricky thing about doing challenges that start the first of the month…things don’t line up well but it’s ok!)

If you get around to posting a plan, that’s great. If not, it won’t be held against you…[Read more]

You did great this week! Especially considering that the concept of the daily/weekly can be confusing at first!

I will indeed say a prayer for folks dealing with all this flooding. I’m so glad you’re safe.

Actually I called folks to make one more weekly plan (mostly as a stall tactic to get us through to 5k training and other things). You always post a plan regardless so I think you’ll be ok with that!
