committ to blogging everyday....and i have a secret.

okay, since we can be honest here and share secrets...i gained 4 lbs in the last week. 4 lbs. UGGGGGHHHHH!

today is april 1st and i will get back on track. don't you love when the "first of the month" also starts on a monday? i do...i feel like its a total fresh start!

as i indicated in my last post, i had an unfill as i was having a hard time with liquids and then went in back thursday to have some additional added. right now i have 4.0cc in a 10cc band. i think (and i could be totally wrong) that my green zone is right between 4.5-5.0. but i am going to go with this fill level for now.

it is nice to be able to eat some "good/healthy" foods and not rely on soup and liquids so i am really trying my best to follow all of the bandster "rules" for a bit to see how i do at this 4.0cc level.

with all of that techinal stuff being said, today i am going to start to track my calories again (EVERYDAY and EVERY MEAL) and see how i do before i call my doc for another small adjustment.

so here goes...

monday, april 1st.

breakfast
coffee with 2 tbs. sugarfree creamer
2 hardboiled eggs (this is why i know i could add a few cc's added--eggs are usually killer for me and i easily ate two)
calories (approximately 175 and approximately 11g of protein)

lunch
4 oz (homemade-meaning it is light/lower fat and measured) chicken salad and two rice cake type things ( approximately 175 calories and 17g of protein)
1 banana (100 calories)
decaf coffee/black

dinner
4 oz lean ground beef taco salad (1/2 avocado, lettuce, mushrooms, corn)-17g of protein and approximately 275 calories)
Protein shake

Yahoooooooo! Day 1 down...not too bad. Now to fight a bit of head hunger before bed!

Hope all of you had a good Monday and good first of the month!

Cheers,
Kristin
