ROCK IT DEB! ROCK. IT.

I am going to pick your brain. So yesterday you had a DD. You ate steak in the morning correct? What else did your day consist of? (I am contemplating a steak day today!)

BTW - For once, I feel the need to weigh!! rrrggghh.....

I just MAY have to cave and flirt with DH a little bit to see where he has place the scale

Enjoy your UD!

Flirt with hubby to find the scale!! DO IT!.. . well my steak day was a small one in the morning , and another small one for dinner. That was around 400 cals. Then I had a piece of my home made chocolate for lunch, 80 cals. That plus my coffee with cream came out to around 600 for the day.

I was happy, satisfied, and kept myself busy so I didn't think about food!.. To bed at 8:30 also helped!...

Ohhhh...Oh I do remember you saying it was 2 oz! Correct?
Gracie mentioned a 10 oz NY strip. I want to try steak on a DD? I think there is a magic to it

(higher protein).

How do you guys cook it? The only way I know involves olive oil which is good for you but does add to the cals? Thinking out loud in your journal

SO whatcha got planned for your up day? Do tell! Let me live vicariously

Pati ~ I do a plain old Dr. Simeons correction day sometimes on a DD. I eat nothing until dinner and then have a nice big steak and sauteed mushrooms. I know he says a tomato but I would rather have the mushrooms!!! It's still less than 700 calories and I agree, the magic is in the protein

Sauteed in oil I would assume?

I think this is what I will do tonight.

I sautee mine in zero calorie butter/olive oil spray. It's right next to the butter in the grocery store. It's in a spray bottle.

12yrslater · 02-17-2012, 06:19 AM

I have the olive oil spray! And this is what I will be using

Thanks for your help!

I actually weighed it out in 2 pieces, they were AROUND 2.5 oz each. Ribeye, lots of fat...

Which is probably why it was so many cals.

I actually broiled mine in my broiler. I love crispy fat. You could certainly saute it!! With mushrooms sounds awesome!!..

My UP day so far is 3 chicken legs... more of my chocolate.. SO FAR. I am heading back to Mom's today for the weekend, so I am sure she will make me some good food!.. She enjoys cooking, and without Dad there she has not been using her skills. So this weekend, there will be 4 of us there for her to spoil!! I just have to watch my portions, but I am open to eating whatever she makes!!.

Long weekend at Mom's and then back here to take care of things. Yesterday was one month since my Dad's passing and it was a tough day for all of us. Mom just cried most of the day because she misses Dad and is very lonely. She is not really sad, she says, she just misses him being here.

Needless to say, my eating sucked this weekend. I don't worry though, today is an UP day with low carb food to get under control. I had a ribeye this morning for breakfast and I feel good to start my day..

I will check in when I get some time, MONDAY!.. ugg...

Have a great day everyone!

Oh sad to hear about your mom and missing your dad. It is nice to know that you are there for her Deb. Hey, don't feel so bad about you weekend, mine wasn't great either.

Have a great day today too!

shari · 02-20-2012, 05:57 AM

Morning Deb. I'm glad you spent time with your mom. I'm sure you all miss him.

The weekend was a struggle for me too. All we can do is get back on and go from there.

Thanks Maggie. Yeah, seeing my Mom struggle is so hard for me. I know she has to grieve in her own way, but we are used to our parents being strong, it is tough. I am READY to have a good week and glad you are too!!. Let's just do this!

We do miss him. I did see him in a dream on Saturday night which was nice and comforting, because he looked young, vibrant and healthy, happy again!.. It was wonderful, hated to wake up..

Anyway, We just have to get back on this wagon and go!!! We can and will do it!..

12yrslater · 02-20-2012, 06:19 AM

your mommy, you and all missing papa. Prayers it gets easier with time.

What day are you on? DD? Up??. How was your weekend? I need to get out to the journals soon!!..

Gracie514 · 02-20-2012, 07:35 AM

You almost made me cry - I feel so sad for your Mom (and you!!!) Me and my DH have been together since I was 15 years old - so 24 years. I can't even imagine him not being here anymore

Prayers being sent today!

On a happy note though, your ribeye sounds fabulous!

Thank you Gracie! .. you do understand I am sure.

they were together for 56 years and honestly I don't remember a time when they were apart for more than a couple of days... it does break my heart too, I miss him, but to have your life turned around so drastically with no warning, is just traumatic.

So, I try to call her everyday, and she also said that no matter who is there, it won't take the place that is empty. It HELPS, but it won't take Dad's place, and she just has to get through this. Hopefully with spring coming and her being able to get outside, it will help her.

ANYWAY, thank you all for understanding my feelings today.. and it will be a better day for sure!!!.. The Ribeye was MARVELOUS!! and I am full.. that is a good thing...

julieboolie · 02-20-2012, 08:41 AM

Deb. I didn't know about your dad. I am so sorry!! And your mom

too!! My dad passed almost 5 years ago and it was the hardest thing I've gone through. We were very close. My mom took over a year to recover but has now gone on to make a good life for herself. It still hurts, but time does help to lessen the raw ache. Holidays are hard. He was so much fun and just delightful to be around. But, I try to focus on being grateful that I got to have him for as long as I did

.

As for weight and eating over the weekend... it's a lifetime plan. Your life will have high calorie stretches, and low cal ones. Balancing them will keep you moving ahead. You're right back on track today

Good for you!!

It really helps to hear from you guys have been here before. I hope Mom finds peace like yours did. I know it takes time.

Writing on my phone because for some reason the site is down on my work computer. Gasp!!! LOL will try again soon.
