I started the day with an Oh Yeah shake - they have so much protein, but not enogh fiber. I added fiber to get it up to 6g. The special K ones are good, but 10g versus 30 g of protein is a big difference. Spec K shakes have 5 versus 3 g of fiber though. One benefiber pack gets oh yeah to 6 g. I had a 10g protein/5 gram fiber bar around noon and ate a late lunch of a subway chopped salad. Dinner consisted of some new high fiber bread I found, with 4 grams per 40 calorie slice, along with some chicken salad- which was my Bad for the day. It was delicious though. I also had a cup and a half of skinny popcorn with it. So.... my point, I was still short fiber. I had to take in my fiber supplement for another 4 grams to get me over the 25 g minimum. I do have 400 calories left for today, so I may end up with a fiber one snack and get another 5 grams. Also thinking about some vanilla greek yogurt to get some calcium. I will take a calcium suplement. I also managed to push the water today, so that went well again.
Reflecting back on my weekend, I feel like I did pretty well, a couple beers max at any social event. Problem was we had 4-5 social events over the weekend. I also got no excercise today since I worked almost 12 hours. It is difficult to work out and work all day. Tomorrow is more of the same. Wednesday and Thursday I should get a walk or swim in. My point, my net gain over the weekend was 1.8 lb. I had dropped on Friday, and now I am back up. I hope some of that was just water retention and tomorrow will rebound a little.
I also am a little disappointed today because I thought this would be a good support site when I signed up for it. However, I am finding the conversations in the communities to be pretty minimal, so I guess I will see about using another site.
I also am hopeful that I will stick with this eating plan a little longer this time than my norm. Due to health concerns and a fear of ending up back in the hospital, I am pretty sure I will stick with my high fiber diet. I just hope I can stick with the entire plan. I know long term this will help keep me from developing diabetes cardiovascular issues etc as well. For my kids, grandkids, and husband.
