So far so good.....

Okay it has been it's four days. So far so good. I have been sticking to 600-1000 calorie plan. It getting easier to manage. I started using the food diary that was given to me by Dr. Terracina. I keep it in my purse. I was weighed today I am down from 282 to 270. I weighed myself at the gym and I thought it was a fluke. However I went to the doctor's office and there it was.

Also I have found there are some things you can actually eat and keep under the 1000 calorie marker. The one that surprised me was Thai food. I ate the Tum Yum Goong soup (44 cal), the healthy steam rolls (194 cal) and a papaya salad (112 cal) and I was waaay under the marker. I only eat half could so the I saved the rest for dinner.

I did make a some boo boos however. One was hibachi grill lunch, OMG !!!! I didn't realize how high in calories that was. The other was the Starbuck's Frappucino light, NOT it was 310 calories. I did drink the diet coke. Which is a big no no in the WLS world.

Which brings me to my next point. I wanted to find drinks and sweetness that did not have aspartame. I did some web searches and found one. Crystal light now has new line of products called "fitness." The fitness mix DOES NOT have aspartame. So I quickly bought 3 boxes of it. It was different, it does have a slight after taste but not as bad as aspartame.

I also wanted to stop using sugar in my coffee and tea and also not be tempted to get ANY more diet soda. I also picked up these new bottled drinks as well. So what I did was purchased the stevia and truvia sweetener packets. I was thoroughly impressed with both of them. On Sunday I will be showing those product in my weekly video, so stay tuned!!!!

As you can see I have changed the look of the blog. I like it, but I did lose my "followers" function with the new template. So for those that I beat over the head to follow the blog I apologize whole heartedly. So to remedy that I would appreciate comments when you visit. That way I know SOMEONE OUT THERE IS READING THIS!!! I didn't want to crowd the blog to much stuff. Although, I did add some widgets and gadgets to the blog such as the Amazon widget and the blogroll to name a few of the additions.

WELL THAT IS IT FOR NOW !!!!!!!!
