Sunday week 22 1/2 -Fiber!

Things seem to be going pretty well so far this week.  I've been weighing myself everyday and the scale is now going between 172lbs and 174lbs every day.  For some reason I always have a 2lb flip flop thing that goes on.  I don't have one of those scales that measures point increments.  Mine just goes to the closest whole number I guess.  I've been sticking to my daily regiment of Uncle Sams in the morning, a wasa cracker with protein on top for lunch, a cup of decaff  and 1/2 cup pecans in the afternoon and then a protein with a veggie dinner.  I know some of you were concerned that I might not get a good fiber count this way, but the weird thing is I'm actually getting MORE fiber this way.   According to "my fitness tracker" for the last five days my fiber for the day has been,  42g., 29g, 38g, 29g, & 42g.! How have I been getting such high numbers?  Here is a sample day of where my fiber comes from:

Two cups of morning coffee with tsp. of Benefiber each = 6 fibers
3/4 cup of Uncle Sams w/ 1/2 unsweetened Almond milk = 11 fibers!
3 Wasa Crispbreads loaded with cheese, a tomato & basil & spinach leaves = 7 fibers
1/2 cup of raw pecans for snack - 6 fibers
Lemon chicken over Romaine lettuce salad w/1 TBS whole flaxseeds on top = 5 fibers
1 square of Lindt 85% = 2 fibers

Grand Total for the day = 37 Fibers

I'm finding it much easier to reach my total fiber count with the Uncle Sam's cereal.  Also, even though we are NOT supposed to watch our calories at all on the BFC, I'm finding that having the cereal in the morning instead of eggs & sausage and stuff is keeping me at a lower calorie count, which for me, may be helping me lose. It at least got me past month long plateau!   We shall see as I continue onwards!  Hopefully this fiber information might help someone.

On the non-diet side of things, I had a really nice night out on Friday with my husband.  The boys were doing there usual thing of having friends and girlfriends over and I just said to my husband, "You know, lets just go out and have dinner and see a movie by ourselves tonight".  And we did!  While getting out at the restaurant my second  oldest son called and said, "Hey do you mind if I bring Sammie home for dinner with me?" (Sammie is his girlfriend and this is his usual thing to do 1/2 hour before I'm serving dinner).  I said, "It's fine with me, but just so you know I'm not home.  Dad and I are going out to dinner and a movie so you'll have to cook Sammie dinner yourself, or see if Jason (oldest son) made enough for you guys too"  I hear this hesitant, "Uhh...Ok".   I have to admit it was kind of fun doing that to him.  All of the men in this family are too reliant on me to take care of their every need!!   I feel like hired help sometimes (without the pay).  Anyway we had a nice night out and  ironically saw the movie "The Help".  lol!    I liked it, but the surprising thing was my husband REALLY liked the movie!

Hope everyone has a good day on this sad day in our history!  I remember 10 years ago running and getting all my boys out of school because I wanted everyone home with me because we didn't know what else was going to happen.  What a horrible day.  My heart still goes out to all the families that lost so much.
