Been a few days since I've posted, but it's been a crazy week. I went back to work last Thursday and it's been a whirlwind of getting caught up on everything. For the most part, I'm caught up now. LOTS of changes at work (staffing, plans for the future, team alignments, etc.). All great changes though. I am so glad to see my company thriving and doing well. It means I made a great choice when I joined the organization five years ago :-). So much growth still happening after all this time!
Last night I went with my brother and my (future) sister-in-law to this restaurant called Texas de Brazil. It's a Brazilian Churrascaria. I was worried I wouldn't be able to eat a lot of the food there, but I was happy to find I did just fine! I ate nowhere near as much as I normally would there, but I still did well. I had a 2oz or so filet mignon, 3 thin slices of this house special sirloin (OMG so good - made with cayenne pepper <3). I also had a small serving of sauteed mushrooms, a few small pieces of parmesan cheese, a bite of au gratin potatoes, about 1/2 piece of bread, and some blue cheese dressing. All in all it was super delicious. I am not sure that it is worth the 60 or so dollar price tag at this point in my "pouch" life, but it was still nice to go. In the future I think I'll reserve my visits to this place for work functions/outings when my wallet isn't impacted ;-) I ate maybe 15 bucks worth of food, not 60 lol :)
I am at the point now where I am able to eat a regular meal (which is normal for someone 2 months post op). For breakfast today I had a protein shake, for lunch I had 6 saltine crackers with about 3-4 oz of chicken salad (was sooo good). For a snack I had a low calorie, low fat protein bar, and for dinner I had about 3/4 tbsp of potato salad, 1/2 of a pickle, a hot dog (1/2 the bun) with a slice of american cheese, and a handful of baked chips (like 5). For a snack later on I had about 20 goldfish crackers. All in all, it was a yummy day. I haven't had a hot dog since forever, so it was nice having something like that.
Not sure what I am going to make tomorrow. I really would like to make something to cook in the crock pot all day. I was thinking of making those honey garlic chicken thighs for tomorrow (just putting it all together before I leave for work in the morning). I might actually do that :-) We'll see!
Anyway, hugs to all and cheers to good eating! I'm down somewhere around 85 lbs at this point. I am going to start walking more this coming week (maybe start on Sunday). I'm thinking about 30 minutes every other day to start. Take care all!
