I just found this site yesterday and this thread today. So, I'll start "mid-week" and post what I ate (and plan to eat) today. I'll try to keep up with it daily. This is a great thread for me as I'm entering the maintenance phase of my weight loss (I'm 1 lb away from goal) and so will no longer have Jenny Craig planning my meals for me on a daily basis. Here goes:
Breakfast: Jenny Craig Pancakes w/veggie sausage, no fat latte (homemade)
Snack: carrot sticks
Lunch: Our annual office Christmas lunch at Black Angus. I ordered the Bar-B-Q Chicken Sandwich on an onion roll w/no cheese. When it came, I split it in half, removed the bacon and haystack onion rings. Ate half of the sandwich and 2 french fries. Ice tea/no sugar.
Snack: 1 apple
Dinner: Jenny Craig Chicken Fettucine with 1/2 cup steamed carrots, water
Snack: Jenny Craig Lemon Cake
Used to eat Rice-a-Roni, too, Seecat! Sort of know what ya mean.
Finished eating for the day (hopefully ... if not, I'll come back and edit in any changes) ... I try to eat an early dinner before school BORED meetings and then not eat again ... hoping to change the habit of stopping for dulce de leche and on the way home ... need to ban s ... not aiming for any particular calorie count right now ... just want to get a handle on things ...

WELCOME, LAWSHARK!!!! Sorry I didn't see your post yesterday; we likely posted at the same time. Congratulations on your weight loss and entering maintenance!!! Wow, you did so good at Black Angus!
Kaylets and Amarantha, I'd be glad to post the apple cake recipe. No time right now, but watch for it in the next couple of days. Thanks for asking!
Didn't get in an hour of exercise yesterday but managed 20 min. with dumbells and 20 min. of Pilates. I don't hold out much hope of getting in a good solid workout today, but will try to do something.

Cerise, I love Amy's Organics too. They're great to have for 'panic food'! Recently tried their cheese enchilada w/ black beans and corn dinner. Really good! Did you know that Gardenburger has a line of frozen 'dinners' now? Vegetarian, of course--little less expensive than Amy's too.

Long day yesterday with many perils. I was able to dodge the wily Christmas cookies and fudge that sought to overwhelm me, but I was armed with my own healthy food, and a lot of it! Even managed to slip away for 20 minutes of yoga.

ww english muffin w/ cheddar, egg, spinach, onion
Greek lentil soup
brocolli quiche
apple cake
protein shake [rice milk, choc. protein, banana, cashew butter]

Anyone tried the new rosemary and olive oil triscuits? Really good!
Got a good deal on bananas and then, ate two of them...
could've been worse so I am not upset...
PS... At 3:30 pm yesterday, went and climbed the stairs-- could only get to the 7th floor-- ( its been a long while since I've done this).... AND, after the gasping stopped.....
WHAT A RUSH!!
Hi, Foodwatchers (and exercisers)!!! Just reporting in my intention to be back on track with food today. Aiming for the 1500s, but the main goal is to continue the logging, so ...
Yup, let's all forget about yesterday, except for those of us who did well!
If no one minds, I'd like to post my meatloaf recipe (apologies to the vegetarians):
Low Fat Fake Southwest Meatloaf
20-oz packaged ground turkey 800
Can corn (rinse of salt) 120
Teaspoon honey 20
1/2 cup low salt catsup 60
Lite hamburger bun 80
Worcestershire sauce
Chives
Process corn in mini processor, dampen roll and tear into small pieces, mix everything, bake at 400 (or whatever) until done. Slice into 12 slices, 120 cals each.
EDITED: Here's food log, going to work and don't plan to eat again:
12-oz ff milk w/sf straw syrup 140
Eng muff w/T diet btr, T honey 120
Two cupcakes 360
King size M&Ms 440
4 oz very lean hamburger 150
Roll 110
T Worcestershire 45
12 oz ff milk 135
12-oz ff milk w/double sf straw syrup 145
12-oz ff milk w/double sf straw syrup 145
Twixt ice cream bar 230
Total 2220
My average for the week was approximately 2186 ... it's an estimate because last Sunday I ate somewhere in the neighborhood of 3000 cals, so I used that number.
I'm trying to reach an average of 1700. Obviously, I'll have to do better next week.
Not sure if I'm going to weigh in tomorrow or Wednesday. Playing it by ear, the better to sneak up on Demon Scale.
Exercise today was a 20-minute walk but worked and was very active.
Wednesday report
Sort of know what ya mean.
on the way home ... need to ban
