Tuesday eating

I don't plan on blogging every day for the rest of my life with what exact foods I eat, I know that would be incredibly boring to read, and I can use Sparkpeople for that. However, for the next couple of weeks I do plan on blogging the food items I eat, the calories, and the protein, mostly for my own benefit, so I can look back and see what worked and what didn't work.  I will keep doing reviews of the protein shakes I try as well.  I feel I need to do this to get my butt on track.

Today I ate:
Breakfast-Syntrax chocolate truffle protein shake with 8 oz of skim milk.  Calories 190 and Protein 31 grams
Lunch-2 Boca burgers, 140 calories for both and 26 grams of protein for both, with 1 ounce shredded cheese melted on top 100 calories (an ounce is probably more than I used but I didn't weigh it so I will use the higher calories) Protein 7 grams.  Ketchup 35 calories for 1 Tbsp.  No bun with the burgers, I just melted the cheese on top and ate it with a fork.  Green beans with butter spray.  70 calories and protein 3 grams.
Supper-2 chicken sausages with artichoke and mozerella.  240 calories for both, 34 grams of protein for both.  I know I said I was going to stay away from carbs today but I did have some mustard pretzels with my supper.  110 calories and 3 grams of protein.  Ketchup 35 calories.  NO buns!

Totals=920 calories and 104 grams of protein.  The calories were low enough, I need to get used to that because my pre-op liquid diet will be 600-700 calories from the look of it.  The protein was 104 grams.  I know I am supposed to shoot for 80-100 grams or protein daily, I barely made it over 100 eating ALOT today, I don't think it is going to be easy to get that much protein in post-op when my stomach pouch has such a small capacity.  That will be interesting.

I have had a pretty ridiculous headache today so I didn't even feel like doing much snacking, so that was good.  I think this headache is a combination of drinking less caffeine, and detoxing from carbs and processed stuff.  I have been taking tylenol and motrin pretty much all day.

I did make it to the gym this morning.  I did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes doing various weight machines.  Hopefully this headache doesn't go full blown migraine and I can go to the gym again tomorrow.  I want to either use the exercise bike or one of the elipticals or both for 30 minutes and then do the weights again for 30 minutes.  I really want to go to the gym the next 3 days.  Tuesday through Thursday mornings at the gym are what I hope to make habit and hopefully I can throw in a Monday night Zumba class, too.  I am very self conscious at the gym, I know I look terrible, I see myself in the mirrors that are everywhere.  I can't wait to take this weight off.

Off to bed for me.  I review my next shake and journal my food later tomorrow.
