Thanks for the soup recipe Yogini. Can't wait to try it!
Sunday -

s: 1 apple
4 beers while watching the football game (yeah! the Browns won!)
D: double cheeseburger, onion rings, and split a chocolate shake with the BF at Steak & Shake (not the greatest choice - but it was good)

D: (which I am making now): flank steak, green beans w/olive oil, balsamic vinegar and tarregon, and cous cous
If I am hungry later, which I doubt after such a big dinner, I will have some almonds.
I didnt mean to imply that eggs were bad for you, I ate them almost 24/7 in the past. But when I switched to watching my fat intake is when I started eating eggbeaters and boy was there a difference between the two, taste and texture wise. Can't get my 16 yr old to eat the beaters to save my life

S: 1oz deli meat, pineapple 150 cal
L: Chicken veggie soup, grapes 320 cal
S: Slim Fast shake 180 cal
D: Lean ham sandwich on sprouted wheat, grapes 330 cal

Punkrockgrryl, what is a "nalgene"? It's cool that you eat sprouted breads and buns too!
"Pink" lentils with green beans, corn, peas and garlic (1 cup) I'm just NOT hungry! Odd!
1/2 Cranberry Kombucha Tea (30 calories)
1/2 cup blueberry juice with 1 cup Pellegrino
1 sprouted bun with 5 thin slices Tofurkey, 2 tsp. German mustard, 1 tomato and 1/4 an avocado
I plan on having another 1 1/2 cups of the lentils and veggies
I know I'll juice and have the usual (carrot, beet, celery) but may throw in some mixed greens I have that I don't feel like eating. Do you ever just get tired of chewing?
Would like to join the posting. Here is my food log for today.

s: 100-calorie pack of popcorn, Diet Coke, 1 apple

I tried to eat a little less today because I ate a lot yesterday. My co-workers were laughing at my little bag of popcorn this afternoon...they're used to seeing me scarf down a whole big bag all by myself! But, amazingly, the little one was enough for me.
I'm feeling a lot more energetic since I started making better food choices and exercising a bit. I was down 1 pound at my first weekly weigh-in Monday, and it's probably just my imagination but I swear my clothes are fitting just a teensy bit better too.
This site is really helping me. Thank you all for being here!
