With all the blogs & conversations regarding that doctor show and the episode with some banded people and what they supposedly eat, I decided I'd chime in and share what I eat. BTW I LOVE seeing what everyone eats. Not only do I get ideas but the thing that I don't like about blogs is that while you get to know people, it's only in snippets, what is PRESENTED for you to know. Know what I mean? I want to know everything about you, and seeing what you eat is just another piece for me to put in the file. Does that sound stalkerish? LOL
Anyway, I am not going to run down a daily food log by the hour, because honestly it changes pretty much daily. I will just share my commonly eaten items.
Breakfast:
Cottage Cheese
Hard boiled egg
Hummus
Snacks:
Cheese stick (reduced fat colby jack)
Nuts
Lunch & Dinner:
Chicken Salad
Tuna Salad
Cold Cuts w/ a wedge of L@ughing C0w on a flatbread cracker or rice cake or some sort of cracker thing
salad w/ cold cuts all chopped up
my new fave IS precooked chicken & guacamole
chili
Once a month or so I will make a batch of bites ala Ms. E-face
Eating out:
2 of my favorite breakfasts are the protein plate from Sbux or a go wrap from DD just sausage & cheese
fast food I get chicken nuggets
The bf & I eat out often, 99.9 % of the time I order an appetizer, usually some sort of seafood thing & very rarely eat the whole thing
Alcohol:
YUP! No beer for me though :-( For awhile I was able to drink beer but the carbonation is too weird and I tend to get stuck on it now. Same with soda, but honestly before surgery I didn't drink much of it. Although I do love me some Diet "Do" and would kill for some good root beer right now!!
I usually go with Tw1sted Te@, sometimes wine, grape vodka & cranberry or very rarely margartitas (unless I am in NYC lol)
What I can't eat:
Scrambled or fried eggs (although I did all the time for a long time after surgery!) Sandwiches, but to be honest I really haven't tried to eat much bread, a few bites of some crusty bread here & there but I really don't want to find out for sure if I can or cannot eat bread lol Also a few weekends ago I tried a scooped out bagel, it was slow moving, but honestly I really didn't enjoy it. Burgers, oh my sweet sweet burgers....I LOVE them yet I cannot eat them :-( Ground beef (or any meat) in any other form? No problem, meatloaf, meatballs, sloppy joe type stuff, chili etc etc. Weird huh? Same with the eggs! Haven't really had pasta ( a few bites here & there) or rice so I just don't know.
Junk Food:
Yeah chips (although I do tend to go for the veggie sticks or popchips, not that they are a good idea either lol) popcorn PIZZA crackers....no problem.
Beverages:
My water is sporadic, some days (at work) I will have 4 bottles of water, others, barely 1! Crystal Light, Vit Water 0, so S0Be zero. At Sbux I normally go for a skinny vanilla iced, but I will admit to iced white m0chas, although they are a touch too sweet so I now order them w just 2 pumps, might even drop down to 1 pump.
What is missing?? Veggies, I know, I always go for the main food then if there is any space left I go for the veggie. Hence why I usually go for salads. Oh and that other stuff, whats it called? F.....Froot? Oh yeah, fruit....I don't eat ANY fruit. I tried some apple (skin off) last week, bad idea. I need to work on these areas.
Getting stuck & PB's, happens more to me than I'd really like to admit. In my little world, when it comes to me, getting stuck & PB'ing is total user error. It sucks, and it REALLY sucks being stuck AND hungry. Where the F does all that slime come from? Am I the only disgusting one that wants to touch it? No I haven't really touched it! It is really disgusting (really this is gross skip ahead to the next paragraph!) when you have a huge string of slime hanging out of your mouth into the toliet, does the toliet water travel up the slime line? Yeah when I think about that whilst sliming it makes me gag and slime even more. Who was it in Chicago that coined the phrase "Toliet Water Splashback" was it Joey? I can' remember, but that sucks too. And have you ever clogged the toliet due to slime? Good times.
Whew, this is a long post! You still with me? I have decided that since February 23rd (one year since surgery) and once moved (ok not a permanent move yet, still looking for a place to buy lol) into the 190's it isn't that I wasn't losing weight, I was merely maintaining! lol Yeahhhhh......Bouncing around 197 to 201. Several people in the past week or so have told me that I need to stop losing weight, ummm HELLO? Maybe if I could designate to not lose anymore on top & focus on the bottom half? Does it work that way? Yeah didn't think so.
This is what happens when you don't blog for a long time, a marathon post that nobody will finish lol
I read it all!!! :) Glad to see a blog from you!
ReplyDeleteYucky. I had bypass and I get PB as well. Its super nasty. And my body is not losing weight evenly. grrr. But your amazing!
ReplyDeleteI finished it! Can I have one of those little dixie cups full of Gatorade that I can drink then crush and throw down on my desk? That would be AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI just peed my pants laughing so hard over the toilet water slime line. And toilet water splash back. It's so awesome that other people notice these things. I thought I was the only crazy one!
LOVE YOU!

I finished it and I miss you!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I have wondered the same about the slime in the toilet! And I have had splashback that has poodled around the toilet on the floor! So gross!!
ReplyDeleteI have no problem with ground beef, but chili gives me issues!
I haven't really tested pop that much, and pretend that it would be a major issue for me to keep me away. I was never "big" into pop, but would get on some Dr. Pepper or vanilla coke binges that would last a couple weeks.
The only fruit I really get in is frozen fruit I add to my shakes sometimes. I have not tried a whole lot whole, except oranges which are definitely a no go. I just don't have room after protein and a bite or two of veggies.
I coined the phrase "Toilet Water Spashback" while out having a smoke with you and Rani Saturday night at the dinner and we wer talking about how bad it sucked and how gross it was to have splashback in public toilets. I totally forgot about that, but it is so funny you remember!!
ReplyDeleteI finished too! Sbux is the devil -- I've been going with iced passion tea lately to keep cals low.
ReplyDeleteI love your list... We eat very similar. I have really been into fiber lately. I am reworking my diet in a few weeks too. We'll see. *M*
ReplyDeletelast week i slimed up my caramel macchiato from Sbux.... first bit went in the toilet (at said Sbux) second bit caught me by surprise and was huge volume and i missed the toilet and hit the floor.... have you ever tried to clean that nastiness up with non-absorbent Sbux papertowel?!?!! ewwwwwwwwwwwww
ReplyDeleteI read it all. The entire sliming in the toilet thing is hilarious!! I usually don't go to the toilet...I have germ issues.
ReplyDeleteI will run down the stairs and do it in the yard. Or if i'm at work I will do it in the trash can and then have an inmate come change it. LOL. I have only had the problem 4 times so far.
Yay! I made it to the end, no problem! Thanks for sharing your daily foods. I enjoy reading these too.
ReplyDeleteOne girl at work always walks up to me and says "gah, are you ever gonna stop losing weight?" Meanwhile I have been hovering among the same 10 lbs for like 10 months! haha Not sure what she's smoking but I could use some! lol
