Saturday

Went to the gym in the morning and beat the snow, which started about lunchtime and is continuing to go strong. They are predicting a total of about a half a foot by morning. Not a bad eating day. I found a new vegetarian food I never had before -- soy chorizo. It was great! Ken even tried some and asked me to get it again, which is very unusual. He rarely eats any of my vegetarian foods.

Wednesday

Yes, I went over, but I did have some successes in conference eating. I had my soy drink for breakfast that I took from home (it comes in a juice box thing) rather than a bagel or muffin at the continental breakfast. While I did have some apple pie (I vowed I'd pass on it, but it called my name) I just nibbled on the sliced apples on top and had a tiny bit of the crust leaving the most fattening part. And left one of the two slices of fresh mozarella with mozarella and tomato salad. I missed my WI this week but according to my home scale Wed. morning I either stayed the same or lost a half lb.

Morning
vigoraide 4

Midday
Conference
tomato and mozarella salad 3
crisp bread 1
pasta primavera 5
1/2 slice apple pie 4

Evening
chinese bean curd with garlic sauce 6
ww bar 2

Total: 26

Exercise: None other than walking from Port Authority to the meeting and back, but that was a real short walk really.

Breakfast:
I'm hoping that the simple process of typing this out and thinking about it for a couple of minutes this morning will help me to focus on staying with the program thru the day! My goal is to read this later tonite and see how I did. Maybe I'll even be honest and edit it.

Pogo


Oatmeal = 2
Milk, 1c of 1% = 2
Raisins, probably 1/4 c (Measure next time!) = 2
8 oz of Fresh Samantha Desperately Seekinig C = 2
Total = 8 points

Tentative Lunch:
Salad = 0
Roll = 3 or 1/2 soy pita = 2 (I should pick the pita!)
Diet Soda = 0

Tentative Dinner:
Garden Burger
1/2 soy pita or a little bit of pasta

Snack:
yogurt or soy yogurt

Pogo, glad I'm finally not alone.

Hi Myra, It seemed to work yesterday! I ended up with some substitutions, but it all totaled 20 points! And I fit in a 2 mile walk. Here's the plan for today:

Breakfast: 6 points, oatmeal, craisins, milk & coffee

Lunch: veggie/cheese soup = 1 or 2 points, depending on how much I have

Dinner: spagetti and meatballs? or a tuna pita - probably this!

Have a good day! I just exploded my oatmeal in the microwave.

Pogo

I'm bad at planning much ahead, but maybe I'll give it a try as well.

Breakfast
ww smoothie 3

Lunch
boca spicy "chicken" parmesaned 4
butternut squash 2
ww bar 2
seaweed stick 2
flat bread with soy butter 2

Evening

Total: 25 (a little over my 18-23 point range but not as bad as I thought)

Exercise:

Hi Myra, Well, I've already changed the "plan"! But this is making me think about it.

After having 6 points at breakfast, I had 3 slices of pizza for lunch. It was "veggie" pizza! Do you think that helps at all? I figure about 6 points/slice = 18 pts.

So, I'm at 24 points and it's 1:30 in the afternoon! Hmmm...I'm thinking the one point soup for dinner. Maybe fit in a walk although it's doubtful.

Looks like lots of water and a little bit of soup. I'll let you know.

Pogo

There must be something in the air. I can't stop munching and hardly have any points for dinner at this point. And tomorrow is WI. Help!

Tomorrow is another day!

After the pizza for lunch, I had one c.c. cookie with tea. Oh, I also had a large c.c. cookie with coffee after my soup for dinner. I probably didn't go too far over my points. I also had soy yogurt (1pt) w/raspberries(1pt).

OK, we'll do better tomorrow.
Goodnight!

Hi Myra,

Here's the plan for my day.

Breakfast: oatmeal, milk, craisins = 6 points

Lunch: I vow to have a salad today. (Had it = 0 points!) But did have 2 yummy rolls too = 4 points

Dinner: ziti (12 points if I figured this right) sauce (is this 0 points?) corn 1 point = a total of 13 points!

Yogurt = 5 points

TOTAL: 28 points (That is +3 over my daily range)

NO WALK - got to work on this. I weigh in on Friday and since I missed last week (to go to lunch!) I really want to get there this week. That should keep me focused.

Good plan. I missed my meeting last week because of a conference I had to go to for work . I'm looking forward to my meeting tonight although I'm praying the scale will be kind.

Here is my day:

Morning
ww smoothie 3
strawberries 1

Midday
edamame 6

Evening
salmon 6
pasta 4
broccoli 0
ww bars 4

Total: 24

I have edited my Wed. journal. Another day over my range but only by a point. I can deal with that. Weighed in and actually lost 1.2 lbs. I don't know how considering the week I had. I hope it doesn't come back to haunt me next week.

I edited my Wednesday entry also! It wasn't quite as bad as I expected. Three points over. If I had walked, I probably could have wiped out those 3 points.

Anyway, today I'm planning the following:

My regular breakfast: Oatmeal, craisins, milk & coffee = 6 points

Lunch: Salad, 1 roll or 1/2 pita = 2 points

Dinner: either left over baked ziti - although not as much OR something to be decided later after grocery shopping. I could always have a tuna pita with some chees soup. Oh, I will attempt to get the "official" recipe tomorrow when I weigh in.

Have a good day!

My initial plan for Thursday is:

Breakfast (I ate this already)
veggie sausage 2
veggie bacon 1.5
scrambled egg whites 1.5

Lunch
Taj indian entree -- spicy chick peas with brown rice 7 pts

Dinner
tofu 3 pts
pasta 4 pts
grilled veggies

That gives me abput 19 points without snacks

I also plan to take a spin class and to do some weight training. I'll post again later to say how I actually did.

Here is my actual Thursday:

Morning
veggie sausage 2
veggie bacon 1
scrambled egg whites 1
salsa 0

Yesterday was a disaster. I don't know how many points I had exactly, but it had to be 30-35 with a luncheon meeting in NYC followed by DH meeting me there and taking me out to dinner at an Indian restaurant.
