Back on Track



Saturday I realized I had a problem.  I guess the first step to fixing it is realizing it exists, so at least I'm making progress.

After cleaning out my cabinets Saturday, I made Cajun Salmon and Turkey Tacos (food for a few days).  When I cook, since it's just me at home, I usually cook more than one meal at a time so that I don't have to do it again anytime soon.  Cooking can be a lot of work for just one person.  Unfortunately I PB'd both of those meals (lunch and dinner) because I was so excited about real food that I took giant gulps instead of the tiny bites I'm supposed to have.

On that note, have you all noticed when you eat with other people how giant their bites seem now?
I notice that all the time.

Anyway, Saturday's food choices were a giant leap forward from what I've done the rest of last week.

For Mother's Day on Sunday, my mom and Grandmother came to visit.  This is a really nice treat for me because it is usually me going to visit them, since they're in my home town.  I bought my house last May and my grandmother has been there twice now.

They both like Japanese food so I took them to my favorite Hibachi Grill.  I know I know, not healthy but I honestly never feel guilty about this kind of "bad" stuff.  I eat my protein first so there is rarely room for much of the rice afterward.

My mom and grandmother had never been to a Japanese Steak House before so I had a lot of fun with it.  The cook picked on my grandmother a lot and she seemed to really enjoy it.  It's always the same jokes and "tricks" at this place, so I always know what's coming, but she had no clue.  Here are a few pics from our lunch.  I love my mom and Grandmother so much.  They're awesome women. 


Note our height difference.  I was in flats, my mom and grandmother both had some type of heel on their shoes.  Sigh, I always grew up feeling like an amazon.

Today, I have packed my lunch for work and aside from some Japanese leftovers, I'm rocking it.
Cottage cheese and SF Jam for breakfast.
Cheese stick & Fage Greek yogurt for snack.
1C Japanses leftover for lunch.

Here's to being better! :)

    I don't notice the bites so much, but boy do I notice how fast they eat! Everyone is done, and I've had just a few bites.

    Your mom is so pretty and young looking, and you two look so much alike. :-) I think it is so special the three of you could all go out together. :-)

    Glad you back on track. Love the pictures you posted :) I notice that I eat way more socially that when I am thinking about it. If that makes sense.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
