One more week under my belt and here I come week 11. Before I know it I will be a year post op at this rate. As long as I am shrinking in the process I am fine with that. It is looking good !!
This week was not very exciting, just another week is all. The weather got cold again and we had some rain. It seems Mother Nature is hitting the drugs again which is clouding her mind and she forgets what season we are in. She totally needs an intervention don’t ya think? Is it too much to ask for that warm Spring air to be consistent and some sun?
Here is what I ate so you can see each day for the tenth week:
(I am not gonna add the times on – just the order in which I ate)
March 26th
- Water (drank over the course of the day)
- Coffee with Sugar Free Hazelnut Creamer (1/2 mug)
- 3/4 cupish Crab Salad
- 1 Slice of Provolone & 1 Slice of Salami
- 3 Medium Shrimp
- 1/2 Turkey Sandwich on Whole Wheat Bread with Mayo, Salt & Pepper
- A Handful of Peanuts – Elephant Peanuts I had to remove from the shell
- 1/2 Turkey Sandwich on Whole Wheat Bread with Mayo, Salt & Pepper
Today was lazy day and I was extra tired all day long. I had a friend stop by and was not the best company being I could hardly keep my eyes open. I so just wanted to take a nap and after he left I tried and maybe got in about 20 minutes before the kids came home from school. Those darn kids they ruin everything – lol
March 27th

Today was exciting in the fact that I found out that my wedding rings fit on my finger again after years of not be able to wear them.
March 28th
- Water (drank over the course of the day)
- Coffee with Sugar Free Hazelnut Creamer (1/2 mug)
- Leftover Chinese Food – Beef, Broccoli & Mushrooms with some White Rice
- One bite of an Egg Roll

Today I decided to have my leftover Chinese food at about 9:45 in the morning – I was hungry. Not long after I ate I ended up falling asleep on the couch for about 2 hours. I find this happens to me if I have too many carbs which may be the case from the white rice. I was not sick just full and tired. Later in theday I had a swwet craving so I delt with that by having a spoonful of SF Coolwhip and that satisfied it.
March 29th
- Water (drank over the course of the day) with Special K Protein Water Mix
- Coffee with Sugar Free Hazelnut Creamer (1/2 mug)
- 1/2 Turkey Sandwich on Whole Wheat Bread with Mayo, Salt & Pepper
- 3 Slices of Salami
- 1/4 cup of Smoked Almonds
- Tilapia (20 g protein) dipped in Tarter Sauce
- Salad – Lettuce, Tomato, Shredded Cheddar Cheese, Bacon Bits and Light Honey Mustard Dressing
Today I was feeling extra hungry – I felt like I ate a lot but when I look at what I ate it was not that much at all. I was definitely battling Head Hunger today for sure. I also ran to the store today and discovered Special K20 Protein Water which is a drink mix you add to your water and it contains protein – I bought the Pink Lemonade and it was yummy.
March 30th
- Water (drank over the course of the day) with Special K Protein Water Mix
- Coffee with Sugar Free Hazelnut Creamer (1/2 mug)
- 3/4 cupish Chunky Roadhouse Beef & Bean Chili with a Tbsp Sour Cream – calories 115, protein 13g
- 1/4 cup of Smoked Almonds
- 1/4 Rocky Road Brownie Supreme Protein Bar
- 2 Slices American Cheese w/mustard
- 1/4 cup of Smoked Almonds
- 1 Pork Chop with Shake n Bake dipped in Natural Applesauce and fresh cooked Broccoli & Cauliflower
Today I just worked all day, but again I was battling that Head Hunger. It is always such a fight and you can win, today I did. I also loved the pork chop at dinner tonight, but I ended up overeating. I am not sure it was the Pork Chop that through me over the edge I think I ate too much of the veggies. In addition to that broccoli and cauliflower especially mixed can cause a lot of gas pains and I think that is what I had. I just had a belly ache, but it passed in time and all was good.

Today was yet another rainy day so I worked for most of it, did some shopping and relaxed to some TV. I was also craving Watermelon really bad after having some last week and realized that we are now BFFs. My daughter had some extra fun dressing up my new friend which you can read all about HERE.
April 1st – April Fool’s Day

Today was April Fool’s Day so I had some playing some tricks on the kids. I made them fake grilled cheese sandwiches as one of my pranks – that was very funny. My daughter had a birthday party to attend so I took a ride with my hubby to bring her and did some shopping on our way home. My sister came over for dinner tonight and we made a new recipe which was so delicious. I have added it to my long list of favorites – it was so full of flavor. See the recipe (Coming Soon – stay tuned)
So I had a pretty lazy week and the cold rainy weather is a big factor to that. I was getting very excited that it was getting warmer out so I can start my outside slavery to my yard, but nope – Mother Nature had to go and ruin my plans. I am hoping this week coming up may change, but as it looks it is still going to be a bit chilly. Ugh !! Like I am not cold enough dealing with the Cold Intolerance I wrote about this week.
Once again as I look at my Food Journal when I type it up here I can notice some things I need to change. They are pretty much the same things every week. Number one thing is I need to lay off the Salami – even though Salami is a protein it is definitely not the right kind I should be eating. I eat it because it is in my lunch meat drawer and it is easy for me to pick at. I am a picker and that I have to watch.
I also need to really work on having a protein shake daily just to get in that extra protein. I was suppose to have done that this week, but slacked off yet again. I have been working hard at trying to get in my 64 ounces of fluids, but I’m still not quite there yet, I find that very hard.
And last but not least – exercise, yup I dropped the ball on that again too. What is wrong with me? Ok this week coming up I am gonna do it – I really am. I swear !!
I am happy to report that even with my lazy week I had a good weigh in on the scale and you can take a look to see how I did here at My Weigh Ins.
So lets hope Week 11 is more active and I can accomplish some of the goals that I have been trying to accomplish for weeks, week 11 here I come….
