Today’s Totals - July 29th, 2008
Well, now that I’m cat free I’ll put in the information from yesterday. One of the cats was demanding attention. This wouldn’t be a problem but he was chasing the text and the mouse pointer. Since I’d lifted him off the desk three times already, I gave up! I was just pretty tired last night and didn’t want to wait until the cat got tired and went away. Anyway, I got the jam made (just a little over 14 jars) in the morning. That’s the one thing I’m really happy about - the calories for the homemade jam is lower than the generic jam calories in FitDay. I’ll still likely use the generic jam entry, however, it was one thing I wasn’t sure about that I take a couple of times a week. So far all the jams I’ve made this year have been about 9-10 cals a Tb lower.
I also got both sauces made, but like expected, didn’t get the pizza shells made. If the weather is poor this afternoon (as forecast) I might do it then, or push it off until Saturday. We’ll see how the day goes. I didn’t sleep that well last night (too interrupted) and I’m starting the day with low energy, which isn’t a good thing.
Food for the day:
Total: 2155 (23% fat, 38% carbs, 34% protein)
Breakfast: two fried eggs, cracked wheat oatmeal bread, clementines (438)
AM Snack: protein shake, apricot jam (196)
Lunch: sausage sauce with whole wheat penne, peach (465)
PM Snack: blueberry bran muffins(2), peach (247)
Dinner: pork souvlaki, asparagus, mushrooms, butter, calico coleslaw (542)
Late Snack: protein shake, peach yogurt sorbet (267)
I have to tell you, every time I read what you are making/eating I think man…most of the stuff I am living on seems bland in comparison! you are an awesome healthy cook!! I have a good recipe for Whole Wheat Pizza Crust and it is derived from ones I have read online here and elsewhere let me know if you need one, lots of spices and really helps to have a stand mixer, lol. I don’t have a cat anymore (I used to breed persians) so I understand that cat thing..lol, they want to play when they want to play and not when *you* want to play!… I am gonna keep reading this to check on your success and to make sure that I get good inspiriation for new/interesting recipes.
Keep on doing your stuff!…

Well, I figured during my weight loss it was important to find things that I liked to eat. Not only because I’ll be losing weight for a long time, but I need a sustainable lifestyle when I’m done. Thanks for the offer, but I have a basic whole wheat pizza crust recipe (which I’m playing with a bit) and I agree - I put garlic and italian seasonings in the crust. I have an old bread maker too, which is nice for the mixing. In theory my mixer does have a bread hook, but it’s not as good.
As for the cats… let’s just say that I’m glad they’re both sleeping at the moment!
