I had a much better day today than yesterday. I looked everything up before I ate it.
Tonight the Biggest Loser is on so I am going to get ready for bed early so I can watch it. I have not seen it since I started this new way of eating.

I wish we would get some better milk at the commissary they send this powdered stuff that lasts like a month and the local korean milk is not low fat.

My calories have been well below the 2000 mark. I'm not getting hung up over the #s this time, instead trying to just eat more balanced. So far that seems to help and I'm not trying to load up on empty calories at the end of the day.

Hi Everyone - happy Monday! I'm back for another week on the Buddy thread.

Didn't post on the weekend but it was very good. I ate well and managed to get in my exercise.

I'm with you Dawnyal, I'm not too hung up over the numbers. I've been well below 1300 calories for the past week, but I'm eating every couple of hours, lots of fruit and veggies. I know I'm eating well but the numbers aren't adding up. I'm down 3 pounds this week too!

I'll be back tomorrow to post today's eats.

Tomorrow I'm off! Not off plan (I hope ) but off to the Canadian Figure Skating Championships in our nation's capital. My trip was in doubt because of the recent turmoil in the family, but things have calmed down now, G has returned to work after his short sabbatical and the girls are at their mum's. In fact, my dog will also be at the girl's mum's house while I'm away, but not because I'm afraid G will forget to feed her ~ no, its because he'd fill her bowl every time its empty and I think the dog shares genetic material with me because when she sees available food, she eats it whether she's hungry or not! In fact, last time I returned from an out-of-town trip, my previously lean Jack Russell Terrier resembled a loaf of bread with legs! Also, I know G won't take her on the hourly daily walks I do (I guess it has something to do with a husky 6'1" man being embarrased to walk the neighbourhood with a 12lb. dog in her matching coat and scarf). So it makes more sense for pup to be with the kids where she'll be kept active and won't be overfed!

Eating while I'm away will be difficult because of the stadium ****s who go through your bags to make sure you don't bring in outside food (I always manage to hide food on my body ); the food at these sporting venues is terrible (fries, hot dogs, pizza, candy); we'll be relying on restaurant food when not at the rink; and, well, let's face it, when I get with my skating buddies a wee bit of alcohol is likely to be consumed during the evenings. I didn't do at all well earlier in the season when I attended out of town competitions but I have stayed totally on plan in the past, so I'll do my best to do so during this one, because I'm on a roll and anxious to keep it going! One good thing is that we'll get to do lots of walking downtown between events and I'm even bringing my skates to go for a glide on Ottawa's famous canal (longest skating rink in the world!) Of course I'll have to avoid the "Beavertail" huts along the canal (we're talking fried dough with icing sugar and syrup, folks! )

Anyway, I hope to see the thread thriving when I get back (in a week) and when I feel tempted to commit culinary misadventures, I'll think of a collective 3FC

Monday
1 slice 100% whole wheat bread, toasted (2)
1 tbsp. peanut butter (2)
tea (0)

Reduced fat Wheat Thins (2)
Turkey salami (2)
Fat free cheese (1)
Perrier water (0)
mandarin orange (1)

vanilla yogurt (2)
small banana (1)
bottled water (0)

President's Choice "Too Good To Be True" Sesame Ginger Chicken entree (4)
green beans and carrots (1)
seedless grapes (1)
bottled water (0)

tea (0)
Carnation light hot chocolate made with 1% milk (3)

Total points 22

Exercise: Usual dog-walking (approx. one hour)

P.S. - Get well soon, Aimee!

Jill--enjoy your trip.
Yesterday I ended up having another cup of the chow mein noodles (I LOVE THOSE THINGS!!!!). Had almost 1900 for the day with them

Breakfast
Egg/egg white omelet with 1 oz. of cheese and 2 oz. ham
3/4 c. OJ
Midmorning snack
1/2 grapefruit
Yogurt
Proposed lunch
Lean cuisine with large salad
Proposed afternoon snack
carrots and celery
1 c. sf pudding
Proposed dinner
Turkey taco soup (something I made up)
10-20 unsalted crackers (depending on my mood)
Estimated Calories: 1403
Exercise:30 minutes of cardio.

Side note: TOM is well on her way so I'm feeling a bit bloated. I'm not going to get wrapped up in it this time. I'm going to try and combat it this time with exercise and healthy snacks. I may even plan for 1 chocolate bar if the need arises but I'll have to go and buy it if and when that craving hits.
