Rocky's Last Measure, ha ha get it? measure? lol!

I decided I'm only going to give myself 3.5 oz of the veal for the shish kabobs... that's more than enough. I'm not a big meat eater to begin with... lol

I made some boiled eggs for lunch for the kids and I. So we will have tomato soup (all of us, yes) and I will put fishy crackers in the kids' bowls, along with sliced eggs on the side. My kids are so weird, they like boiled eggs.

I'll keep the yolks from mine since I'm not allowed to have them, and I wll chop them up with some green onion and mayo, celery and other spices so dh can have an egg salad sandwich for lunch tomorrow.

Well I weighed myself this morning, and I was at 175.2

At the clinic, I was at 178.4.

Alright then.

I will have to take the clinic's weight of 178.4

Well MY scale says 174.9 this morning.

I had chicken livers and onions again yesterday for lunch, it's not bad mixed in with the salad.

I had tuna last night for dinner, along with, yep you guessd it... salad!!

It's a good thing there's lots of different types of lettuce. At least I feel like I'm eating different things.

I had a tomato sandwich for breakfast again, with mayo.

Well half a sandwich, I'm only allowed one slice of this type of bread. Dh went looking at THREE different grocery stores this morning to try to find one of two brands where I'm allowed two slices... but no luck. Oh well...he's sweet for having gone. Must have been the morning treat he got.

Well breakfast was closer to lunch, so after the lentil roast I made was ready, I had a serving of that too. It was pretty good actually. Tasted like refried beans, sorta, but textured like mashed potatoes, with a crispy crust. Pretty tasty. I had that about 20 minutes after the half sandwich.

For dinner, I made some chicken breasts, just with thyme and celery seed on them, baked in the oven. I made some oven roasted potatoes for dh and the kids, and made a big salad with romaine lettuce, iceburg lettuce and baby spinach leaves. I had picked some radish leaves, radish pods, dandelion leaves, some nasturtium leaves and some sorrel from my yard... but I'm still not sure if I was allowed to have them or not, so only dh and the kids had that in their salad. Boo. I love radish pods.

It's so dumb. I'm allowed lettuce of all kinds. I'm allowed red radishes. But they can't tell me if I'm allowed the radish leaves nor the radish pods... I hate having to buy more salad when I grow my own.

I cut up some mushrooms, some red pepper, celery, and zucchini to put in our salad. DH and the kids had regular salad dressing.... storebought I mean... and I made mine. A little bit of mayo (1\2 teaspoon), some kikoman soy sauce, a bit of lemon juice...and some spices. I really liked this one better than the other one I made, which I was going to make a small jar of, but didn't. I may "actually" make a jar of this one.

I had my coffee today, with my 1\2 tsp allowed liquid Sugar Twin, and my whole tablespoon of milk. I'm getting used to the taste, I don't mind it. I actually finished it today.

I find that my body has adjusted I guess, because I don't feel like I have to eat everything I'm supposed to. Out of the 16 ounces of veggies, I only had 12.5 ounces of veggies today. I only had 1\2 an apple out of the two fruit servings allowed... and I had to stuff myself to finish my dinner plate of salad with chicken in it.

(ETA - the clinic had previously told me this might happen...and that i can eat less if I am not hungry for all the food allowed... but that I NEED to eat all the protein, regardless.)

Oooooh - highlight of my day, I think, is that dh brought home some Crystal Light for me from the store...I'm allowed one per day. It was SOOOOO good. I haven't had juice in a week. I water down my juice anyways...so this Crystal Light single that was supposed to be for 500mL (2 cups) did me for a litre and a half!!! (6 cups)

I downed that in like, 10 minutes while making the lentil roast.

Oh DH and the kids had egg salad sandwich from the egg whites I had a few days ago. The kids weren't too fond of the lettuce I'd put in their sandwich...but I told them to get used to it. I'm so evil.

I'm on my 4th litre of liquids today. Not counting the coffee I had...but that's a diuretic, so I'm not going to count it as liquids taken in.

I feel really good, energy wise. Of course I'm still taking my multi vitamin and my potassium supplements as I'm supposed to, and have noticed that if I'm a little late taking them, I get a little flushed. But I'm good. I even did a small work out today, for my abs...because I don't want to be stuck with loose skin.

looks like you are doing a really good job. Keep up the good work, Rocky !

LOL the only thing I can think of right now Rocky is that you would prefer to eat CHICKEN LIVERS rather then boiled eggs.

Keep up the great work.

I haven't had breakfast yet...I'm not hungry. I can't stomach breakfast earlyin the morning. I'll probably have it when the kids have their snack around 9:30 or 10.

MY scale said 174.2 this morning, but the clinic's scale said 176.2, so I'm down 2.2 pounds over the weekend. I can expect my losses to slow to about 3\4 pound a day now that it seems that all my extra water weight has been taken of.

I think dh is really into helping me...he's really into helping me burn extra calories.

Can anyone guess what I had for breakfast?

Yup, another tomato sandwich. I think it has got to be the best use of my daily slice of bread that I've found. I may switch it up tomorrow and make it an egg and tomato sandwich. So that's both my bread servings of half a slice each, and 1.25 ounces of tomato and spinach, and half a tbsp of mayo.

For lunch, I had 4 ounces of salad (still a platefull!) and a piece of lentil roast, which came out to a portion of 1.75 oz lentils (dry weight, not loaded wiht the water from cooking... lol), and 2 oz of onion and garlic.

Dinner is supposed to be baked fish, with steamed broccoli, and rice for dh and the kids. My fish will be Pollock, and theirs will be salmon. I can't believe i'm not allowed salmon. Ah well.

I still have 16 ounces minus 1.25 and 2 and 4 = leaves me with oh crap i'm bad at math... uh... 8.75 ounces of veggies to eat today. I did just have an orange, so I still have a fruit serving as well. Ooooh but I did find out from the updated list, that on top of both fruit servings, i'm allowed up to a cup per day of jello light.


I think I'm going to make myself a coffee now.

Changing it up a little today.

I had 3 egg whites, nuked in a plastic container then slopped on a piece of bread with some mayo, salt and pepper. Tasted pretty good...but i usually have the bread toasted with loads of butter melted on it, and tons of ketchup and hot sauce. Hmmm. Could explain my rolls.

around 10, I had 4 ounces of salad and other mixed veggies, with a 1\4 apple chopped up into it.

Now, I just had the other 3 egg whites I'm allowed for my 1st protein serving, mixed in with 4 ounces of zucchini, onion, and green onions, like an omelette. I added 3\4 tablespoon of PC brand salsa, which I'm allowed up to 2 tablespoons of, provided I haven't had more than one other miscellaneous garnish serving. I'd only had 1 tablespoon soy sauce, which I mixed with lemon juice, water and garlic powder, as my salad dressing for the day, so I'm good.

Since I had the 3\4 tbsp of mayo, I'm still allowed 1\4 serving of another "miscellanous", which will be 1 tablespoon of milk for my coffee later, and 1\4 tbsp of mayo that I will thin with water to make a glaze for the cauliflower I'm making for dinner.

I'm going to have the 1\4 tsp of liquid sweetener from my sweetener category, to add to my coffee... I don't need the full 1\2 tsp anymore.

I made hamburger helper (the lasagna one) for the kids for lunch today, and gave them oatmeal cookies as a dessert. Friggin dh took the leftover salmon rice and broccoli I was goig to serve them. Bugger. He can't EVER make his own darn lunch. He always has to take the food I'm planning on feeding the kids for lunch...even if I tell him that's the plan. What an idiot.

Aw, that is so cool that your DH is being so supportive.

Still at 176.2 this morning. I'm a little ticked. This isn't what I'm paying for.

We went over my charts, and it turns out that I have to use FRESH SQUEEZED lemon juice, not the bottled type. Are you serious?

AND, I had screwed up in one calculation... it's 2 servings of garnish, not 1 serving per category. Boo hiss. So I tok 2 extra servings of garnishes in the last 2 days.

I aske dthe nurse if really, something that small and seemingly innocuous could account for the non-loss, and she said absolutely.

Sooooo... being more careful now. The salt, pepper, garlic powder, vinegar, soy sauce etc... all account for garnishes... so I' can't have more than one tablespoon of anything, whatever it is. So like 1\2 tbsp of soysauce, 1\4 tbsp spices, 1\4 tbsp vinegar....in addition to my regular mayo. this is getting harder and harder.

I did something interesting this morning though. I had 3 big lemons in the fridge that I'd bought for lemonade and fish topping, but I decided to squeeze them... so I cut away all the rind, not the pith though... into small slivers, with which I made candied peel. The kids told me it was DELICIOUS! I passed it off as candy to them, and they actually believed me. Fools. Then I took most of the pith off, and threw the whole lemons (cut in 4) into my juicer. It made about 2 cups of really thick pulpu lemon juice. I mixed it with some water (about 1\4 water) and put it in some mason jars in the fridge. I can have as much of that as I want, it doesn't count.

This afternoon I'm going to make a lemon cake for the kids, and put some candied peel on it. I still can't believe they believed me when I said it was candy.

I had about 4 ounces of salad and other mixed veggies for lunch, with 2.5 ounces of cooked chicken (I had pre-measured the 3.5 ounces before it was cooked, it's in individual serving portions). I also had an apple this morning, shortly after my tomato sandwhich. I had a crystal light this morning as well. I don't like not being able to drink fruit juice.

I'm looking up tofu recipes. I'm sick of chicken.

More salad for dinner. With 3.5 ounces of tofu, panfried in some of my dressing.

Dh couldn't even tell it was tofu, he thought it was chicken until I otld him. Twit.

I cut it up in small pieces and mixed it up with other stuff...

I had 8 strawberries too.

174.8 this morning.

I am only supposed to go Monday Wednesday and Friday morning - but this morning I had to go see one of the clinic's doctors, so that she could make sure I understood the basis behind the diet.

I was burning 3+ keytones. I've been averaging between 2 and 2.8 since the beginning. It doesn't mean much to you... but it's fantastic. The average is between 1.5 and 2.5!

My concentration seems to be a little wierd. I'm having a had time focusing on stuff... like I was trying to read an article online yesterday, and the kids were just playing on the floor next to me...and I couldn't wrap my head arond the article. I had them play "the quiet game" so I could read it.

This morning, I REALLY deviated form my usual. I mixed a can of Tomato & Onion Tuna from Clover Leaf, with half a stick of celery, a quarter apple, two radishes, and my tablespoon of mayo. I spread some on my allowed bread, put some sponach on it, YUM!. I have enough Tuna mixture left over to put in my salad at lunch time. Maybe I'll have tomato soup though. Not sure yet. Depends what I feed the kids. I might just give them some soup too with some fishy crackers.

DH took just about all the leftover chicken in the fridge. My grandmother roasted a whole chicken for us... and dh has managed to eat it all in TWO DAYS, for his LUNCH. I think he does it on purpose. I wish I would have noticed it in the first place. I had plans for that chicken.

Ah well. Since dh gorged himself on meat today for lunch, he's getting a vegetarian dinner. I think I'll make him some plain rice. That's it.

jk of course.

173.0 this morning. I had the GROSSEST experience yesterday. I don't think I'll be able to eat iceburg lettuce for a long long time.

We had our inlawas for dinner, and I only had some spinach and romaine prepared, and not enough for all of us, so I added the iceburg lettuce I had in the fridge. I washed it, each individual leaf, like I always do... and put it in the bowl so that I could cut it up. I'm very anal about wasing fruits and vegetables... I'm easily disgusted by bugs etc...

so anyways, I go to take a leaf of the iceburg, to tear up and put in the kids' plates... and I see a tiny beige BUG. I freak, and tell dh - he tells me it's an aphid, common to salad, and to just rinse the leaves, they'll be washed away.

But I did wash the leaves.

And, I had soaked them in cold water for about 20 minutes before hand.



Oh I was sooo grossed out, I had to look at EACH LEAF AGAIN to make sure there were no bugs on it. The next 2 leaves I took out to check, there was 1 or 2 aphids ON EACH. I just threw the whole thing in the sink, retching a little... dh laughed at me. By this time, his parents had arrived, and wanted to know why I looked green... i told them, and they're like - oh - well don't eat it then, you shouldn't have more protein than you're allowed.

GROSS!!!!

THEY ate the darn salad. I couldn't look at them for all of dinner. ew ew ew.

Ok So i'm really freaked now... and I'm only going to be getting straight leafed salads, like spinach leaves, romaine... ya know, salads with no curled up leaves with little buggy hiding places.

Anyways........

Well I just came back from the grocery store a few minutes ago, and I was like a kid in a candy store. I got the extended foods list for my diet, and there are SO MANY MORE things to choose from.

I can have CHEESE!

So I found a type of bread that wasn't on my 1st list, that I can have TWO slices per day of, and so i got two loaves. Thing is...it's 3.99 a loaf. dh isn't going to be impressed. But I DON"T CARE! I can have TWO slices!!

I also got apricots. I'm allowed 3 per day as one fruit serving! Holy Jeez, I bought 12.

I can have Kraft fat free cheese slices, THREE of them instead of 3.5 ounces of protein. Woo hoo! I've been wanting cheese, ever since the other day when I made cheese sauce for my family for their cauliflower.

I bought Romaine lettuce and spinach, two I've never had buggy problems with. Nice straight type leaves, that I can see the whole surface. No hidden bugs.

I also found out I'm allowed the Kraft calorie wise zesty italian dressing... yeeha!

Oh man it's gonna be good eatin tonite boy.

Erg. One step forward, two steps back.

I slipped a little this weekend... I went to dinner at my mil's, and she made chicken. She's been on the diet - she KNOWS what not do feed me. She told me it was fine.

She'd cooked the chicken in sauce, told me I could just remove the skin. Uh hello dumbarse, it soaks in... so I had sauce soaked chicken. I only had a little bit though, about half of what I was allowed. They have a well, too, and I'm just not able to drink from a well. I can't stomach the thought...and I ran out of water. So I didn't drink as much water as I should have.

So I'm up two pounds over the weekend.

How can I have put on two pounds by eating a little sauce and not drinking enough water? I don't know, but it happened. Could also be that I'm..uh..a little stopped up and I'm expecting AF any time now. Any time.

Anyways... I bought a package of their chocolate shakes and their oatmeal... i can use a little change in the mornings, and since af is due the chocolate protein shakes might just quell my chocolate cravings during AF.

Anyways... it's just past 9:30, I've been on here too lone, i'm due to go outside.

So thi smorning I had the oatmeal I bought from the clinic. It surprisingly kept me feeling full until about 10:45am... which is great, because I've had my fruit cut out until wednesday.

So I had my tomato sandwich for lunch, with some cut up veggies.

Dinner was half an 85g can of tuna, with half a serving of green lentils cooked with red peppers, mixed in with different veggies in a stir fry, which I topped my romaine lettuce with. It was, all in all, a very tasty salad.

Dh and the rest of the gang had stir fry salad as well, but they had beef instead of tuna and lentils.

I think tomorrow, for breakfast, I'm just going to have coffee - and use the protein shake as milk\flavor in it.

I am allowed dijon mustard though. Maybe tomorrow i'll have a mustard and onion sandwich instead of tomatoes. I haven't had that in years.

So I'm having my coffee right now, with some chocolate protein shake in it as milk and flavor... yum yum yum.

Lunch today will be either a dill pickle sandwich (read that in the idiosyncrasises thread!) or a mustard and onion sandwich. With some cut up veggies.

Dinner will be... yep... salad. I'm not sure about the protein though... I don't want eggs, I'm kinda done with tuna for a couple days, I've had a lentil serving so no more for 2 or 3 days... I've had beef in the last 7 days... maybe some veal... yeah, veal seems good.

And yes - they make a distinction between beef and veal. Go figure.

So I'm back on track this morning, back to 173. I met my goal for the two weeks, which was down to between 172.2 and 175.

My weight goal for in two weeks is between 162.2 and 165.

I'm back to allowed fruit today - since I'm burning at 2+ keytones. So Right now i'm having one of their maple flavored oatmeal protein packs, and I cut up about 3\4 of an apricot into it. Very tasty.

I'm not a big fan of the shakes. They're tasty and all - and they're good in the coffee... but they... separate. When I got to the bottom of my coffee yesterday, there was white gunk in the bottom that made me gag. Good thing I'd only put a little in there for flavor... so I had the rest once it was cold enough in the fridge. It was good - but wayyy too thick. Maybe I can freeze it and have it like popsicles.

Lunch for me today will be onion and mustard sandwich. I tried the dill pickle and mayo sandwich yesterday, and it was actually very good. I like pickles and cheese together better, but this was almost as good. Too bad for all you idiosyncratic onion haters.... muah ha ha.

So when I get off my butt and decide to download the pictures to my laptop, you will see me 10 pounds ago, and me today.

So, I had oatmeal with apricots this morning. Yum. Tasty sandwich with some cut up veggies for lunch. Yum.

Dinner, I'm having some veal with Vegeta seasoning on it, some steamed broccoli, and some salad.

The dinner I made my family looks sooo much better though. It took a lot for me not to have a bite while it was cooking. I took some chopped up broccoli (bite sized) and put int in a big pot with a can of diced tomatoes, some rotini pasta (half a bag), some seasonings, and some cut up veal as well as leftover ground beef. It smells sooooo good.

you cant eat that?

you cant eat that?

No. I cannot have pasta, for one. Two - I can't have the ground beef. For two reasons - 1) I've already had beef this week, and 2) the ground beef that I used was leftover from just lean grond beef. I have to eat extra lean.

I CAN, though, have Tofu noodles - only 4 ounces of them though. I COULD have made it with the tofu noodles, but they don't sell them in the grocery store across the street....I wasn't about to walk 30 minutes to the next one with all the kids.

Also - I owuld have had to measure separately the ounces of veal that I used in my portion (differs raw from cooked, I have to count it raw), the ounces of noodles used (had they been tofu noodles), the ounces from the can of diced tomatoes, and the amount of seasonings, because I'm only allowed a certain amount.

Too much hassle.

I really should copy\paste the list of food that I'm allowed to eat, and all the rules I have to follow to go along with it. A friend of mine who I gave a copy of the small food list has been doing it as well, but without the B6 injections, and she's lost 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks.

Here is the list of foods that I need to follow to the letter.

(ETA: I also take a multivitamin, take potassium supplements, and am monitored every 2 days with urine analysis)

So my scale says 170.4 this morning. The clinic scale is about 2 pounds off from mine though. I have to take evening urine tonight for the test tomorrow. 1 1\2 hours after I take my last protein portion.

I'm going to see two movies tonight, with four of our friends. Thank goodness it's going to be at a silver city theatre, which means I can bring in some snacks of my own.
