There are Band Rules for a Reason

If you haven't discovered this yet, then you and your band are living in perfect harmony.

I on the other hand, have unfortunately discovered it.

Band lesson #12 (is that what I'm on, I've lost track): when your office tells you to eat your protein first, it's probably for good reason!! Oh yes, I'm not too bad at following most of the rules. But, I tend to be a breaker every now and then. The other night we decided to have food out. Well, they had fast food, I had a egg substitute veggie omlete from one of local restaurants. I had the very smallest amout of hashbrowns and a half of piece of toast on my plate as well (gave the other 3 halves of toast and the TON O' hashbrowns to P).

Did I follow the rules?? Nope. At the other stuff first. Consequences? I had to wait FOREVER while that stuff moved through my band before I could eat the omlete. Which means it had to go in the fridge and be rewarmed (not the same:-/).

So, am I learning? Yes! Because I didn't try to eat after I got full. So I "listened to my band". Do I still have a lot to learn?

Apparently.

  2. I can't do hashbrowns any more. Almost all potatoes give me problems...and I get sad about it, because I love potatoes any way you can fix them :)

  5. The important thing was not to push it. That could've ended must worse than it did. :)

  6. I try really hard to get my protein in early in the day. Doesn't always work, but that's the only way I can make it work. I've also started eating a lot of nuts and using cottage cheese to make a ranch dressing. Any way to squeeze a little extra protein in is always good!
