Tuesday, November 11th

I'll have to forget about yesterday. Oh boy, it was a terrible day and I didn't even add it up. I never have happy birthdays, but I should just learn to accept it. I'm 35 now ... that's the way it is.

I'm not giving up and will be posting my menu here.

[Mrs.T]

Breakfast: Was unintentionally skipped because of the Sears man.

Lunch: 2 whole wheat non fat bean burritos. (6 inch whole wheat tortilla's) I ate because I was hungry! I noticed I was about to over eat but stopped myself for the most part... after all it wasn't FOUR burritos.. LOL

Dinner: I feel really screwed on because our refrigerator was supposed to have been fixed (Sears man) but apparently there is a part that won't be here until thursday and then they can't install it until SAT... Will update about dinner tonight.

I've read the book, figured out my AMR, but I'm a little confused. Do I take my amr, multiply by 7 to get my week's total and THEN subtract 3500 or 7000 depending on if I want to lose 1 or 2 lbs per week? If I subtract just 3500 that takes me to 1034/day and she says not to go below 1200! Its confusing!!!!

yesterday wasn't overly good for me either.

we had the melbourne cup and therefore had a lunch, which is pretty much tradition over here.

Tuesday Meals
breakfast - none. oh, coffee. i slept in so raced out the door with a roadie.
lunch - 1/4 chicken, 1/2 sour dough roll, 3 chicken nuggets, 2 bits garlic bread and a diet coke (oh, the irony!)
dinner - lean steak sandwich with rye bread
snack - pineapple - yum!

Total Calories - 1426 (aiming for 1500) but my fat % was 38%. Carbs and protein were in line.

Breakfast: FF Yogurt
Kittkat and a peanutbutter cup
Lunch: chicken, veggies

was bored at the time

Yesterday was a little weird as I was at home until midday and then at work until 5pm. I am usually at work from 8am-5pm. We were getting blinds put in (they look fantastic! so much better than the black plastic we had covering the front windows ) so I was at home for that all morning. I should have had lunch before leaving home but wasn't hungry. Got hungry around 3pm so just had some snack food.

9.30am Breakfast: Guardian cereal and low fat milk and too many coffees
3.00pm Lunch: 5 soy and linseed crackers and flavoured tuna.
7.30pm Dinner: fish and chips
9.00pm Snack: pineapple (I know, so much pineapple but it tastes soooooo good!)

Considerably under my goal caloric intake of 1500 - actual was 1129. However, my fat/carb/protein ratio was 29%/42%/29% which is around about what it should have been.

Honestly all was hunger based. I ate when I felt hungry. Does that matter that I didn't have lunch for over 5 hours past having my last meal?

I put the times on my meals just so you could see the break in between meals. I am a little confused by eating hunger based, but also eating at regular intervals throughout the day. I mean, if I am not hungry first thing in the morning, can I wait until I am? The same with lunch - is it wrong?

[angel-eyes]

I guess the idea is to keep your blood sugar levels stable so that you don't have a big dip and start to binge. Hunger based meals are good, but you might be needing abit more in between. For me....I need to have a little pc of fruit/cheese to keep me on an even keel. Good luck though with whatever you decide .....

Oh you crack me up!

I didn't do bad today, but I forgot to write in my journal and I lost track of calories and what I even ate fo sure or how much ... I just had a BAD day at work and wasn't caring much about anything but I do think I was under my calories ... tomorrow I'll get back on track

[happydaisy]

Today I pretty much had jello and water -- feeling nasty. So, tomorrow (assuming I'm not so queasy) I'll start my balanced oxidizer plan. Good job girls!
