Hey Sunshine1, I'm in Missouri too! I'm a new user and could always use the support also. I joined slim4life and I have quite a ways to go to reach my goal of 149 lbs.
I keep a daily diary of what I eat and would be happy to talk to you.
Ladies,
Since this isn't really a support "group" per say-I am going to leave it here, and change the name of the thread so everyone knows to post their food diary here if they want to be accountable to someone.
Aphil
If y'all don't mind, I think it will be easier for me to remember to journal if I post what I eat here instead of fitday (b/c I eat so many things that aren't listed there, I have to make a new custom food every single time!).
Breakfast, 6:45am (before running) -- Kellogg's Smart Start Antioxidants with skim milk and fresh strawberries
Snack, 10:00am -- Dannon fruit on the bottom yogurt, blueberry (140 cals)
back this afternoon after lunch and snack number two! I packed a Lean Cuisine for lunch, and half a PB&J sandwich and half an orange for snack #2, so hopefully that is all that I'll eat! Today is a high calorie day for me, because I ran so much this morning. I only snack on running days, and always with yogurt after running to get some protein.
Br: Fresh pineapple
LU: A can of tuna mixed with Miracle whip lite
Shredded lettuce and tomatoes added
SN: Slice of angel food cake with FF cool whip and strawberries
DN: Pork Chop with 98% FF cream soup, brown rice, onions and green beans
SN: FF/SF popsicle
I am doing WW and I get 24 points each day...I know I don't eat enough dairy, but I do take a calcium supplement.
i need to post to keep away from the rest of the twizzlers!!!
breakfast- 2 pieces whole wheat bread with brummel&brown
lunch- 8 flatbread crackers, 3/4c hummus, 1 med tomato (fresh! from a farm!), 12 twizzlers (i have to stop now!!!)
snack- 1 small plum
h2o- 24oz so far
dinner- don't know yet. no real fruits or veggies in the fridge. in fact, fridge is a little bare. probably rice pilaf-- cashews, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries toasted together (without oil) mixed into a batch of basmati rice and topped with a yummy cucumber/yogurt riata. maybe pick up some salad fixins on the way home from work to go with.
noon -- Lean Cuisine spinach and mushroom pizza
3pm -- half an orange
4pm -- half a PB&J sandwich
8pm -- I'm about to have dinner, which will be some pasta (not whole wheat though) with tomato sauce, and maybe a slice of oatmeal bread, and a salad w/fat free dressing.
I think that will be all for today, but I do have Jello Sundae Toppers in my fridge in case I get a sweet tooth craving later tonight!
Hm, I guess the food diary thread isn't so popular . . .
At any rate, today I had:
breakfast - Kellogg's Smart Start, skim milk, strawberries
lunch - Lean Cuisine broccoli and potatoes in cheese sauce
snack - Cup of tea w/sugar and cream, one small cookie w/M&M's in it (I went to a lecture and those were the refreshments)
dinner - two eggs, scrambled, on buttered toast (oatmeal bread), and three oatcakes with honey
I don't think I did so well today, but I'm hoping the calorie count comes out about right anyway. We couldn't decide what to make for dinner, and were feeling lazy, thus the scrambled eggs and oatcakes.
It's interesting to see what everyone eats. Here's my long list.
breakfast -long cook oatmeal with splenda & cinnamon
coffee with silk soy milk
(Masters swim practice)
1 T peanut butter (not planned, but necessary!)
1.5 c thawed strawberries
1 c 1% cottage cheese
Lunch: yam, sweetpotato & butternut squash soup (homemade)
snack: 1 oz cheddar cheese
Supper: weird today. Normally I eat a lot of veggies, lunch & supper. Today I experimented cooking with millet, so I wound up having a bowl of millet with soy milk, currants, slivered almonds & cinnamon. Yum
1 cup homemade applesauce with splenda
snack now: cup of Celestial Seasonings chai with a little soy milk (later, perhaps cocoa with soy milk, can you tell I love it?)
cheerio,
Sue
