Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero

A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople.  I loved the community of that place and the support I got there.  It was at the height of us being on our game.  That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation.  You start to feel human.  You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere.  You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned.  Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away.  We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively.  When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...

2/9/12- What's on the Mrs plate today?

Well it seems some of you like the food posts so I'll throw ya a bone!  :-)  I tried to pretty it up a bit today but gave up by dinner time because we've got a ton to do tonight.  Still.  Ugh.  But I wanted one with the old countertop in it as a farewell.  New granite countertops go in tomorrow!  Yay!  But that's not why you stopped by... lets get to the grub.

Breakfast was a bowl of Special K Blueberry cereal, a banana with nutella (stop judging my Nutella consumption) and green tea in my new favorite mug.  (What I wouldn't give to be enjoying some sweet potato pancakes at Arcade.  Sigh)


Lunchtime!  The only thing that ever changes in my lunches is the "entree".  The sides are always raw veggies, fruit salad, an apple with apple dip if I can "afford" it that day and a Trader Joe's cereal bar which is apple this week.  Today's entree was tuna "tacos" using boston lettuce for the shell.  2 tbsp of miracle whip light and some scallions mixed in.  Heaven.  Oh yeah, that's tea back there, not lager.  Beer, blech.


Dinner was by the horrid lighting in the kitchen but barely features our laminate that's on its way out.  We had BBQ Chicken Naan pizza, one of the Mr's all time favorites and finished the bag o' brussels roasted with a strip of bacon.  Iced tea is standard at lunch and dinner.


Late snack was a serving of vanilla WhoNu's.  Drool.

Hope everyone had some yummy grub today too!  Feel free to share what you had in the comments!

    Yesterday was a really weird day for me eating wise. I had two pieces of millet bread with some cheese for breakfast. And a 'Salty Eagle' on gluten free bread from Isaac's Deli for lunch (had lunch with my Mom) and for dinner I had some steak and green beans.

    I did just realize that I haven't had breakfast yet though, and I'm at work so...I guess I'm running out to the grocery store. Dang it!

    Bkfst for me was strawberry/blueberry protein shake, lunch was homemade gingered veggie lentil soup with sourdough bread and since I was not hungry at supper, just a few left over noodles and a Trader Joe's cereal bar. My soup had all my veggies for the day--carrots, potatoes, spinach, lentils, onion.

    My 2 year old daughter and I could eat a jar of nutella a day...I cant buy it simply for our own sanity. :)

    And, you are the first person I've seen eat these new cookies...glad to know people are enjoying them. I think I'll have to give them a try. :)
