WW Clubs and Groups - What I Ate Today

I hope no one minds, but having a daily thread on here for this seems to help me. Feel free to comment on my food, add your own... whatever. I didn't count points, as I said, before, I just tried to not eat like an ***!

It was a busy morning, so I got a late start (note to self: don't do that again)

Coffee with light cream and light sugar

Lean Cuisine pizza

Fruit salad: about 3 cups of mixed friut

Handful of "Just Veggies" snack (dehydrated vegetables, no added fat or anything)

Tofu salad with peppers and vinaigrette (about 1/4 of a dinner plate)

Curried wheatberry salad with raisins and almonds (about 1/4 of a dinner plate)

Mixed veggies (squash, peppers and carrots -- about half a dinner plate)

4 meringue cookies

Herbal tea

40 ounces water

Ha... turns out I am an *** after all. My "smart eating" day? I went to FitDay and it came out to 2010 calories, 58 grams of fat and 22 grams of fiber for a whopping total of 44 points! How in the **** can that be? Wow, all of a sudden I feel defeated. I thought I was being so smart about it today. Numnutz is what I am.

Misty, I'm not so sure how that could so many points! Are you sure? I think it looks good!!

I didn't get a chance to respond to your other post, but I wanted to let you know that if I knew the right words to say, I would certainly say them!! I have so much faith in you. I know in my heart and in my mind that you can succeed. Now that you have realized some of your obstacles and how to overcome them, now it will be that much easier. Just remember that one flub up doesn't mean that you've lost the battle, or even the entire war. Hang in there, my dear!!

Thanks for the encouragement, Steph. It was me, not Misty, who was whining! :dizzy:

I used FitDay for the calculations, and those are the numbers it came up with, but it's hard to figure when you eat things that are pre-made, like the tofu and the wheatberry salad. So it might not have been THAT much.

Anyway... here's for today.

Coffee with light cream and light sugar ... 2
2 packs banana bread Weight Control oatmeal ... 6
2 cups ff milk ... 4
8 pieces of sushi ... 6
1 cup watermelon and about half a cup of kiwi ... 2
13 MINI Mrs. Meringue cookies (equal to 4 regular) ... 2
Tofu and veggies ... 5
Beets ... 0
1 serving Just veggies ... 1
4 regular Mrs. Meringue cookies ... 2
Herbal tea ... 0
58 ounces of water

That's 30. I also walked 12 blocks today :running: amd took my supervitamins. You know, the kind that give you happy pee. Hooray! I hope everyone had a great, in-control kind of day!

Sorry, maggie. I knew that it was you, hon. I just typed the wrong name, because I'm NOT SMART! lol

You're putting so good food in your body!! Pretty much everything looks healthy and yummy!

Thank you, Steph! (BTW, how are you doing? -- Trying to sound like Joey from Friends!)

I'm feeling much better physically even after only three days of eating better and taking my happy-pee vitamins.

Here's for today:

1 packet oatmeal -- 3
1.5 cups ff milk -- 3
1 serving Just Veggies -- 1.5
4 Mrs. Meringue cookies -- 2
Coffee with cream, no sugar -- 1
Lean Cuisine Pot Stickers frozen dinner -- 5
Shrimp with cocktail sauce -- 4
Salsa -- 0
Soy crisps -- 2
Fruit -- little bit each o' pineapples, blackberries, mandarin oranges and banana -- 3
60 ounces water

24.5 -- low today but maybe that will balance out the big-points day on Monday.

Good Morning! You are doing great, Maggie!!!! I take Flintstone gummie vitamins LOL What are super happy pee vitamins? I feel I need to take something but not sure what.

Misty, I take these vitamin that I get from the chiropractor. They come in packs and you take one pack a day. They have a lot of omega-3 in them, which is supposedly very good. I call them happy-pee vitamins because they make your pee this outrageous shade of yellow! I take them at lunch time and then make it my goal to drink enough water to make my pee clear again before the end of the day! Yeah, I play games with myself. So what?! :dizzy:

OK, got a little off track Thursday and Friday, but let's see how it pans out. I still want to write it down, even though I can't figure out the points for some of it.

Thursday:

Oatmeal with ff milk -- 5
Coffee with light creamer -- 1
Spinach with lf butter sauce -- 1.5

Then the bad part: a meal at Applebee's, but not the WW menu. I had:

2 pieces of quesadilla
1 mozzarella stick
3 chips with spinach dip
2 small boneless buffalo wings
1/4 of a rack of ribs
Some baked beans
Some cole slaw
Chocolate cake and ice cream, but I didn't finish it.
Unsweetened iced tea

I know that was a bad dinner, but for me it was still a victory in some ways. I split an appetizer sampler with someone (and still left about a quarter of it uneaten) and then shared the ribs entree and didn't finish it all. We each had our own dessert, but I didn't finish mine. Used to be, I would hae my own appetizer, my own entree and my own dessert and finish everything. So I am counting this as a NSV! So I am giving myself a :carrot: :cb:

Friday:

Oatmeal with ff milk -- 3
Coffee with light creamer -- 1
Spinach with lf butter sauce -- 1.5
Vietnamese beef soup -- 9 (estimated)
Part of a weird Vietnamese shrimp roll -- 5 (estimated)
Part of a small Vietnamese spring roll -- 4 (estimated)
Mrs. Meringue cookies -- 6
Herbal tea -- 0

29.5 .. though I think this is low. It might be more like 33-34. I'm just not sure.

My first official weigh in (at home, not going to meetings) is Monday morning. I sooooo want to see movement on my slider -- in the right direction, of course! :^:

I know this is boring for everyone, but it helps me. Feel free to ignore!

The weekend was rough, and it spilled over into Monday and Tuesday! Dumb! Anyway, back on track today. I have no idea how many points I've had, and I'm about to figure it out.

Oatmeal with ff milk -- 5
Coffee with light cream and sugar - 2
Lean Cuisine frozen dinner - 6
2 mini Kit Kat bars - 3
1 avocado - 7 (YIKES!)
1 HC hot dog on 1 slice WW bread -- 2
Grapes - 1
FF pudding with FF Cool Whip - 3

For a total of 29. Not bad! Yay!:carrot:

Maggie, just wanted to say you are doing great!!!! Even though you "got off track" it could have been WAY worse!!!! Plus, you got back on track!!! Great Job!!!:carrot: :carrot:

It's been a hodgepodge kind of day for eating today, so I want to get it on paper even though I still have the evening ahead of me. But I do want to say that I am very proud of something today. I left the house without any food packed for breakfast, lunch or afternoon snack. So I stopped at a food truck and got two fresh fruit salads and a bag of almonds. I ate some almonds and one fruit salad for breakfast. I actually finagled a LC frozen dinner from a co-worker who had a ton of them in the freezer at work with the promise of bringing him not one, but two, LCs tomorrow! Then I had more fruit for a snack. NSVs all around!

Food so far:

Fabulous job!!!!!! That is great. With so many quick fixes on the food truck, you still persevered and I am sooooooo proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job!!!!!!!!

Misty, will you marry me?! LOL:D

Praying I can stick to the plan.

Aaarrggghhh, yesterday was a splurge meal day. It was really bad BUT the one thing I did that made me feel better about it was to confine it to that one meal. It was at Bennigan's, and part of a Monte Cristo was involved, as was a Death by Chocolate martini and an Irish Haystack deep-fried onion. 'Nuff said!

So, on to today. Rough one, but I am still OP.

2 slices plain pizza -- 17
Three blue corn chips with cream cheese onion dip -- 5.5
Coffee with light cream and sugar (small) -- 2

That's only 24.5, but it was all "bad" food, meaning h-e-a-v-y. I'll try to keep it light for the rest of they day.

Just a quickie 'cause I'm soooo tired.

WaWa salad with ff dressing -- 10
coffee with cream and sugar -- 2
Soy crisps -- 2.5
3 tiny tootsie rolls -- 3
LC frozen dinner -- 6
Roll with B&B -- 4

Oh nab, two really bad days.

Wednesday was fine all day, and I knew I was going to be eating a special meal later in the evening (date night). Had:

Oatmeal with ff milk -- 5
LC frozen dinner -- 6

Here's where it gets not so great; I can't even begin to guesstimate the points on some of it, but I'll try:

Roll with 2 pepper shooters -- 8

Alaskan King crabs legs -- we had 2 pounds, which we split between the two of us. But that doesn't yield a whole lot of meat. I dipped some in butter, but not all. Guessing 6 ounces (3.5 points) and some butter (2 points)

2 small coconut shrimp dipped in sweet n sour sauce -- 2 medium breaded and fried shrimp are 1.5 plus add 1 for the coconut

About a quarter of a pint of lobster bisque -- 6

2 broiled scallops wrapped in bacon -- 4

1 WW ice cream sandwich -- 2

1 WW chocolate cake snack -- 1

FF cool whip and FF pudding -- 3

Wine -- 4

YIKES, that's like 49 points! OK, here's what I could have done better and still enjoyed the meal:

Skipped the pepper shooter sandwich
Chose one dessert insead of 3

I also could have:
Skipped the wine
Skipped the butter
Skipped the bisque
Had just one shrimp

But that would have affected my enjoyment of the meal and pissed me off.

Oatmeal with ff milk -- 5

Small pile of roast beef with gravy -- 7
Thai noodle salad -- 6
3 slices cheese -- 6
Shrimp with cocktail sauce -- 4

But your Tuesday, and Wednesday (not sure if this is so far for today, or if you're done for the day, as I'm not sure what time zone you're in) look great!
