Eyes Still Bigger Than My Stomach? Or Just Worried About Being Watched?

198.2

or pouch should I say?! Anyways...

I use the same type of plate nightly for dinner now. It's a salad plate with circles. I put my food into the smallest circle and am comfortable after eating that amount of food. Last night my 1/2 of a chicken breast was a little over the circle, I had a dab each of mac salad, potato salad and creamy Cole slaw all within the circle. I thought once I peeled off the skin, took out the cartilage bone thing my chicken would be smaller so a little over the circle was OK. I worked on my chicken first (protein) with a bite of creamy style Cole slaw here and there to get some wetness in there. Slowly I chewed, ate, enjoyed my food. Yes, I was enjoying my food and had every intention of eating it all. Hubby was next to me and kept looking @ my plate while he was eating his salad ~ I saw him look at least 3 times @ my plate. At about the 4th glance @ my plate I had a small amount of all my side salads left. Since I knew I was being watched I asked the hubster if he wanted the rest of my food. And he takes my plate and says "I was wondering how you were gonna fit all that into your pouch." ??!!

On another note today is Post Op Day 112. My weight this morning was slightly up from 2 days ago. Today was 198.2, two days ago it was 197.6 ~ maybe I shouldn't weigh every day and just go with once a week since it does fluctuate daily.

We did our hike last night, stairs X's 2 ~ I felt rather weak last night after conquering the 804 steps on the stairs ~ not the muscle shaky stuff but just weak. The hubby and I went over my diet driving home ~ enough proteins? enough carbs? ~ my diet hasn't changed so I'm thinking it was just a weak kind of moment.

On the hike I saw a walking stick crossing the path ~ haven't seen or heard of one of those in years. Better than the snake I saw the last trip!
