This is my first post, I'm studying this superfoods diet, how did I do? I believe I did 10-12 superfoods today.
Today was another rough start, but I did better later in the day.

l-peanut butter and raspberry fruit spread on whole wheat bread
d-black bean and mango salad(black beans,mangos,salsa,cilantro,olive oil, wild rice), veggie burger w/ avocado and salsa
I am still here, just have been lurking rather than posting. I started going back to counting weight watchers points for things until I get portion sizes under control... I really hate counting calories.
B: oats w/ blueberries and flax. yogurt with apple butter. black tea with a splash of soy milk and some fructose (5)
L: egg white omelet w/ spaghetti squash and kale. 2 slices spouted grain bread w/ light vache qui rit cheese. (3)
S: homemade blueberry oatbran muffin (best thing i have ever come up with I swear...) (1)
S: ff/sf yogurt w/ apple butter. an apple (2)
D: soba noodles with cabbage. terriaki tuna steak (3)
S: another blueberry oat bran muffin w/ more yogurt and another apple and also some blackberries (4)

Had a great food day yesterday. Well, actually I've had lots of great food days. It's much easier for me to eat healthily since hubby is out of town. The kids are even getting used to it. I started putting their lunch sandwiches on whole wheat bread and they actually like it better because they said it helps fill them up more so they don't get too hungry during their afternoon classes. I'm not totally forcing all health foods on them, but including as many as I can get away with and they are really liking it so far.
B-2 pumpkin pancakes w/straw & raspberries, walnuts ,a drizzle of syrup, coffee w/soymilk
L-3" ww sub w/turkey, avocado, roasted red peppers, and roasted red pepper hummus (psst! I LOVE roasted red pepper, can you tell??) , 1 cup trader joe pirate booty, an apple (small gala)
S-tea/kids clif bar
*will add more as the day goes on*
D-baked stuffed salmon(stuffed w/a spicy shrimp mixture), the last of the leftover roasted garlic and cauliflower, 4 poppyseed/sesame seed thin crisp crackers w/1 wedge laughing cow garlic herb cheese spread between them all
14 for today!

Reason: adding foods
Wow, so this was a weird week. Due to a weird convergence of social engagements - I went out to eat on Friday night, Saturday night, Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night (well, Wednesday, I just picked up Chipotle and got a relatively healthy chicken bol). I have realized that I feel ENTITLED to have dessert when I go out to eat. That was okay (maybe) when I went out to eat 1 night a week, but having a big chocolate brownie with a melted hershey bar on top on Friday and then making molten lava cake on Saturday and then having a few bites of chocolate vesuvious at Bucco Di Beppo on Sunday and splitting a Smores thing on Monday night at Mimi's just isn't going to work for me.
Le sigh.
back on track today - Thursday
Breakfast - 1/2 cup Nature's Path pumpkin flax cereal, small container of Trader Joe's fat free greek yogurt with honey
Snack - 4.4 oz blackberries
Lunch - spinach, 90 calories of chicken breast, grape tomatoes, shredded carrot, chopped red onion, 1/5 chopped red pepper, broccoli slaw, organic bbq sauce
Snack - small square of Hershey's dark chocolate with almonds, cranberries and blueberries - DELISH
Dinner - very lean hamburger whole wheat bun, spinach leaves, sliced tomato, pickle, red onion, organic ketchup, spicy brown mustard, roasted new potatoes with spices
On a plus, I did really well last night on Wednesday board game night. We play boardgames in a big conference room - stocked with nutter butters, oreos, granola bars, chips, packages of Kettle corn, some kinda brownie thing, there was also 1/2 no sugar added apple pie - I just had an extra cup of no sugar added cocoa which was a lot better than some of the other options! Success!
I don't have to work tomorrow so I can finally say that! My job is weird. I work M-F 2:15pm - 8:45pm and SAT 8:30am - 1:15pm. But because two of my daughter's have a competition this weekend I don't have to work. On the downside that means sitting for hours Saturday and Sunday to watch. Oh well, it's really fun to watch their progress.
The kids only have a 1/2 day of school today because next week they are off for spring break. So I had to get a lot more done in a lot shorter period of time this morning. I already did my 30 minutes of walking, went and did a little bit of Easter shopping and picked up a couple items at the grocery store. Hope everyone has a great weekend
So far FRIDAY
B-2 pumpkin pancakes (the last ones )w/straw&raspberries, walnuts, a drizzle of syrup and coffee w/soymilk
S-tangelo
L-3" ww sub w/roasted red pepper hummus, spinach, roasted red peppers, avocado and turkey, 1 cup trader joe's pirate booty
S-tea/ kids clif bar
D-small size ww tortilla spread 1/2 w/fat free refried beans, 1/4 c(maybe less) spanish rice, chicken breast mixture(white meat chicken breast combined w/1 can rotel tomatoes and chilies) folded up and I grilled that in a pan sprayed w/canola oil spray to get it warmed and a little bit of crispiness, topped w/5 black olives cut up, 1/4 tomato diced, salsa dressing (light sour cream mixed w/salsa) drizzled over the top, 1/2 cup tomato and roasted red pepper soup, sesame crackers---it sounds like alot of food but it really wasn't, lol, it was perfect.
