For some reason my computer has been acting funny lately.... SO I havent' been able to get on....

Any way I have decided to post my food at the end of the day, instead of before..... Just for a change.

SO.... MONDAY

1 egg, cereal, yogurt and orange

lunch
Stirfry with pork and veggies brown rice

Supper

1 large potato
pork

1193 calories 37 fat 145 carbs 73 protein.... NOT BAD

Sunday 6/13

Breakfast
Breakfast sandwich (English muffin, parkay, 2% cheese slice, 1/3 cup egg beaters, veggie sausage patty)

Lunch
Boca burger with 2% cheese slice and ketchup, on English muffin
1 cup strawberries

Grazing Part 1
1 serving soy chips
1 bag cooked microwave popcorn

Dinner (sort of)
1 cup wild rice with parkay

Grazing Part 2
About, er, 20 hershey kisses

So. I'm trying to analyze and it was more like a mini-binge than a full-scale binge because hey, I left hershey kisses at least! I'm guessing 400ish for the breakfast sandwich, 350 for boca burger, 500 for popcorn, 50 for strawberries, 500 for hershey kisses, 300 for rice, 150 for soy chips. So 2250 which is more than the 1600 I normally aim for but not completely horrible for a bad day. Just not much nutrition.

Monday 6/14

I don't usually do more than approximate calories but I put them down today, and added. 200 breakfast, 390 lunch, 260 snack, 500 dinner, so a total of 1350. A little lower than I eat some days but I had a big day yesterday.

Feel ok about it all because I ran this am, and am getting ready to go again tonight. Only 20 minutes each but that is a total of 40! Yahoo me.

Scuttle,
Love how you counted the graham crackers. If you want an accurate easy way to keep track, there is the website fitday which is free.

See you tomorrow.

Tuesday, 6/15 (Ugh day)

Breakfast
Small size breafast smoothie at Planet Smoothie (320 calories)

Lunch
Uncle Ben's bowl (sweet and sour chicken) (380 calories)

Snack
Two twix miniatures (darn work meetings!) (100 calories)
Banana (140 calories)

Dinner
Grilled chicken sandwich from McDonald's, de-mayonnaised some (400 calories)
Medium fries (asked for small and they gave me medium and I was in a mood and ate them) (350 calories)

Snacking
4 hershey kisses (100 calories)

Grand total of 1790 calories which, well, isn't so bad, but too much sugar and slipping into bad habits. I think at my weight keeping the calories up to 1600 to 1800 might be good for the metabolism if I still lose (since I'm up at 275ish). I guess I'll unintentionally see. But I need less work stress, less depressed state, and better food choices.

Hey guys.....
today was ok....until supper. We had to visit Minsoo's dad who is in the hospital, so we didn't get to eat until 9 pm and then I was starving.

Breakfast
Stirfry veggies-- last of leftovers no rice
one egg

Lunch
yogurt, pinapple chunks, trail mix, triangle shaped california roll (sushi)

Supper
Junior whopper, fries, diet coke

Snack
sausage.... orange juice

So this puts me at... 1738 calories 73 fat grams 226 carb grams 53 protein grams.... Fat too high, carbs too high, protein right on target....

What the **** am I going to eat to get protein up without the fat? Next thing to figure out I guess.....

Scuttle,
I think keeping the cals at that target is fine as long as you are losing.... Like you said try to be more nutritional about it. For me as I haven't budged from my plateau in over 5 weeks, I am trying really hard to sort out what is going wrong.
Anyway, I am sure that you will do what is right for you..... :D

Scuttle - I know what you mean about not wanting to get too low, because that metabolism is a tricky thing.

Sarah - great that you track fat, carbs and protein also!

wednesday 6/16

exercise
45 min weights, abs
30 min bike

breakfast
oatmeal = 2
sugar = .5
mixed berries = .5
hb egg = 2

lunch
salad = 0
lf parmesan = 1
lf cheese = 1
chicken = 1.5
olives = 4

dinner
fish = 2
bun = 1
potato = 3
lf cheese = 1

snack
hot choc = 3
ice cream = 4

daily total = 26.5

A little better, and I really need to go grocery shopping since I'm craving kiwi fruit and that or yogurt would've been better than Snackwell cookies nutritionwise. And it would've satisfied me. They were out of bananas at the snack shop, though.

Wednesday 6/16

Breakfast
Oatmeal
Veggie breakfast patty

Lunch
Rice bowl (beef teriyaki) from Uncle Ben's frozen food
1 twix miniature

Snack
Snackwell cookies (4 in the package)

Dinner
Burger King salad, with sweet onion dressing and croutons and chicken

Hey guys....
lunch was terrible! Going to the hospital last night for Minsoo's dad threw off my plans to take leftovers for lunch today, and that dukkbokki is just too convenient. It is like really spicy spicy gnocchi. Cheap too.... only a buck. But today worked it out, that it was all carbs and no real nutrition. Tomorrow will be better as there are leftovers to be had.... yum. Makes life easier, temptation busted.

Breakfast
cream of wheat, banana, yogurt, 1 boiled egg

Lunch
Dukkbokki

Supper
pork Lean cut, 3 new baby potatoes, veggies

snack
2.5 cups of cherries..... God I love cherries. Glad they are only here for a short time.

according to Fitday website that puts me at 1497 calories 28 fat 267 carb 53 protein.... Interesting... If I hadn't had dukkbokki I would have been right on target. But what to eat for lunch... Maybe next week I will try to make salads....

Pork is the only reasonably priced meat in Korea. Beef is sooooo expensive and hard to get non-fatty cuts. The butcher knows me and I get lean pork now.... Chicken is difficult to find, unless I am willing to buy the whole thing. To get chicken breasts I have to go to the big super market and that means an hour trip.... I am way too lazy.

Good work both of you! I love that there is this place to meet. I also do a member's journal.... Do either of you?

Nope, I don't do any other journaling, though I'm setting up a blog (journal) on my new web site. But it's mostly just to play with setting it up. I don't usually ever post more than a few times and get bored. This is the longest I've kept up any sort of journaling, words or otherwise, in a while, and it's only been a few weeks!

Thursday, 6/17

Breakfast
Breakfast sandwich (Eng. muffin, cheese, egg beater, veggie breakfast patty)

Lunch
Lean Cuisine meal (chicken and basil sauce)
1 oz-ish cheese

Snack
6 oz-ish watermelon

Dinner
Chicken ceasar salad from Panera Bread
Half a sourdough roll

I gained .6 today at weigh in. I think it had more to do with eating ice cream right before bed last night than with my vacation. Live and learn.

Sarah - wow, too bad it's hard to get chicken. I eat a lot of chicken. ~ This is the only journal I do.
