So since I need to post my food intake or I end up eating junk, and Anne had mentioned being interested in a thread to post food on that was not at all related to any goals, I figured I'd start a new one (the old one was getting long anyway).
So I'll start off with my food from yesterday.

S - half slice of sunflower bread (50) w/1 Tbsp soft cheese (50?)
D - pasta (197) w/sauce (80) and parmesan (30), 1 ear corn (60), pile of asparagus (40)
S - half slice of sunflower bread (50) w/apricot jam (30)
Total: 1307 (I must be missing something...)
Exercise: 20 min run/walk intervals + 10 min warmup/cooldown, back exercises, 15 mins yoga

CRUD just realized I am a day off in fitday...sigh, oh well
Anyway about 1450 so far, well in plan especially with a 9.5 mile run AND a 2+ mile walk (and hungry boy who keeps nursing today), just need to not give in to depression.
HAvent decided what to do for dinner tonight. I have leftovers, I also kind of want to go to the farmers market which is usually risky, but it is another walk.
1 - 6 oz. Danon Light and Fit yogurt with 1/4 cup of Fiber One Cereal
3/4 cup of Cheerios - don't ask me what ever possessed me eat to these. Totally air food.
about 3 -4 oz. of Fat free/sugar free frozen yogurt, while out today. Was going to wait til I got home to eat lunch, but I was with my daughter and she wanted, so I succembed. Delicious, it was.
Easily about 30 red grapes, probably more
10 strawberries
1/4 chicken breast, boiled
1/4 baked sweet potato
1 piece of my daughters avocado sushi
2 - 3 cups cooked cauliflower
2 egg white omlette
1 - 15 calorie sugar free ices, might still have another one
BF: PB and SF jelly sandwich on whole wheat with 2 cups of coffee
Lunch: ham sandwich with lettuce and tomato and LF mayo. on whole wheat
Dinner: 1/2 baked chicken breast, 1 ear of corn, 1/2 cup of instant potatoes
snack: (atypical) small ice cream from Sonic that I let my SD talk me into. GRRRRRRRR.
B - Bowl of Fiber One cereal and a non fat yougurt
L - Cup of non fat cottage cheese and three oat bran muffins
D - two bowls of soup, bowl of kashi go lean almond crunch
S - two handfuls of almonds
So yesterday was a day at the fair, and then pizza with my quilting group who were just eating to celebrate (it's a long story) so I can't even begin to count the calories, but I will say that the homemade tamale (from a booth run by my former hairdresser ) was THE BEST - vegetarian, and nicely spiced.
Today:
B - cheerios with 1% milk, walnuts (7 halves) and blueberries.
S - got busy and didn't eat one!
L - Large turkey sandwich on foccia with avocado, tomato, onions and a slice of some kind of smoked cheese. It was good, but really too big.
S - um, it's after 5, and I need to leave work and go home, kinda late now. I'll just have dinner as soon as I get home.
D - chicken with?? veggies of some sort. We have lots.
I was posting on whole foods, but today was so NOT whole foods, that perhaps this is more appropriate.
S (pre-run): Banana (post-run): OJ
B: Heart healthy cereal w/ added Fiber One, wild blueberries, & vanilla soymilk, coffee w/ skim
S: graham crackers
S: carrots & cauliflower w/ roasted red pepper hummus
L: leftover homemade lasagne, yogurt, peach
S: grapes
S: Fiber One bar
S: popcorn
Here and there: hard candy
D: turkey breast, green beans, couscous w/ herbs
S: Clif nectar bar, graham crackers
The kitchen is now closed. That clocks in at about 2400 calories, give or take. About in energy balance for me on a run day, except that I was hoping for a bit of a deficit.

PS: Oh yeah, I had some French bread and light butter also for supper. It is included in the calorie total.

Reason: How can I possibly be expected to remember everything?
Oh yeah...pre run a kashi bar forgot that until Anne mentioned it. Run food tends to slip my mind
continued from above:
Snack - apple, 3 oz turkey
Dinner - minestrone, salad bread & butter, leftover eggplant and a little leftover orange couscous chicken.
Total for the day with the kashi bar ...probably about 2500? Pretty close to today's target. I may have a little snack later. 2600 would be a loss target today, maintenance would be around 3000
