Argh... it's going to take me forever to get used to what to eat and what calories are really in what. I thought I ate over my limit today... and yet... I'm way under. urgh...
Breakfast- (this was expected, I rushed out the door and grabbed what was easiest, which was a ziplock bag filled with exactly one cup of cheerios)
1 cup of cheerios - 110
Lunch- (I was at a friend's house... and she didn't have much else available... and I was hungry... )
2 Slices of Bread, White -133
One Slice of Turkey Ham -18
Shredded Cheddar Cheese - 93
Extra Cheddar Flavor Blasted Goldfish 11.0 oz - 140
Dinner- (mom prepared it...)
Roast w/carrots and potatoes - 314 (this seems a little much to me... I ate hardly any of it... by hardly any... I'm talking like... one potato (half of a small potato actually), two TINY carrot pieces, and a bit of meat that was about half the size of my palm. There wasn't much meat in the thing! It was all fat.
Iceburg Lettuce w/Tomato - 12 (wasn't a very big salad, no dressing)
Snacks-
Caramel Frappuccino Light Blended Coffee no whipped cream - Grande sized (from Starbucks) - 167
Total - 985 (according to caloriecount.com)
So yeah. I just kind of ate what was available. Probably going to go downstairs and get some fruit... except I don't think we have any. Urgh... this "cleaning out the fridge because we're about to start serious traveling" doesn't exactly help the desire for healthy eating.
Well... off to go on my run as soon as my Zune is charged enough for me to go.

Jondy Glad you found us! I have heard of people drinking warm lemon breakfast immediately upon waking. Some people think it gets the digestion going, speeds waist elimination, and revs the metabolism. Is this the reason you are drinking it? You have have to post your results/thoughts about it.
Kris Didn't you have the zucchini spaghetti last week? If so, which did you like better the Zucchini spaghetti or the Spaghetti squash?
yes I am, although contemplating just calorie counting? I also did the elliptical for 30 min and did 45 min of lifting.... just got back from Vacation as well, it is go time!
Diana ~ yes I did do the zucchini pasta last week. I got the spaghetti squash this time because my store was out of zucchini. I liked them about the same, but the zucchini was easier and faster to make. I bought some zucchini tonight. It will probably become a regular part of my diet - I can see myself eating it a few times a week (at least for now). You can really have a large serving for not very many calories at all.

Welcome, Segras
Love2, Good job!
Kris, I like your idea of breakfast!
Serbrider, I've only been CC for about two months this time, it took me the first month to get the idea. I'm sure you'll catch on faster.
Veil, sounds like you had a wonderful time!
Sacha, I'm sure your dog loved your walk as much as you did.

I hope so.
I think it'd be easier though if we DID have more fruits and veggies besides two tomatoes, some lettuce, and a bag of potatoes at home. But nope... fruit rots fast... (at least... REAL fruit does... ) and because we leave at 1 PM tomorrow... we aren't getting any more.
now... to figure out something for breakfast tomorrow.
It's annoying... because after lunch today... I felt POSITIVE that I had gone over... only to find that I had eaten much less. I'm going nuts on this!

When I started I didn't have much of a plan. then I divided my cals into three meals and a snack aiming for a certain number for each. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were 400, and the snack about 250-300? That gave me a running total of how I was doing for the day. If one meal ran over, like lunch was 500 I would eat a smaller snack or skip it altogether, then if I was under, I could eat more for snack and dinner. Hope that helps somewhat.
Since my schedule has changed since then I decided to skip the snack and eat three meals. Actually two meals and a snack, but I think I'm going to change that tomorrow.
Yeah... I think that not having a "plan" is messing me up... but... at the same time... I'm not overeating... but undereating. Which IS a problem as well... just not the "typical" one.
And... another good thing... I gots my ticker!! And I weigh in tomorrow morning before I leave for my last final of this school year (art class)... so... yeah. Good stuff.
(I really like the tickers because I can see more than just a bunch of numbers)
