Weekly Journal Buddy Thread (13/6 to 20/6)
Another week, a fresh start! Welcome to the new ladies. I was wondering where you got your digital food scales? How much could I expect to pay for one?
To the ones we've lost over the weeks: it's never too late to come back! I love this thread b/c it gives me new meal ideas, and it keeps me honest. Don't be too afraid of Jill, she yells because she loves! And I wouldn't have her any other way.
Let's have a great week everyone!
6/13
10 oz coffee
8 oz light soy milk
2 small slices lasagne
1 meatball
12 baby carrots
half a cucumber, sliced
1/4 cup buttermilk ranch salad dressing
2 slices natural ovens carb conscious wheat bread
2 slices muenster cheese
2 Tbsp butter
1 can diet lime pepsi
1 serving trail mix
1 serving roasted garlic herb potato chips
1/2 liter water

Well, not off to a good start, today is already shot, I really don't even know what all I've eaten , I did buy several kinds of fruits and veggies at the store, so tomorrow should be a lot better.
Exercise isn't going to happen, as I sprained my toe this morning (don't think it's broken). I dropped a big glass candle on it , and now the whole underside is purple.

SAPF: I've had my Salter digital scales for over 10 years and brought them with me when I moved here. I didn't buy the cheapest on the market but I've used them almost every day (even when not dieting) and they are still as accurate as the day I got them, so were well worth it. I doubt they even make the ones I have any more, but I found this link: http://www.chefsresource.com/digital...en-scales.html.
And http://www.americanweigh.com/ has digital scales from $20.
Mon 13/06:
Breakfast: Banana shake (½ cup plain 2% yogurt, ½ cup 0% milk, 6 oz banana, dash vanilla extract).
Lunch: 2 thin slices ham and 1¼ oz cheddar on 68 g whole-grain bread, green salad with 1 tblsp. sliced almonds.
Snack: Pea cup-a-soup, 4 Wheatine crackers.
Dinner: 3½ oz chicken breast, 3 potato patties, 1 cup peas, ½ cup strawberries, 60 ml Safeway Light Whipped Topping.
Drinks: 500 ml coffee, 2½ litres water.
Total kcals: 1333 (not incl. free veggies)
Exercise: 1.26 mile walk. Not nearly enough.

Thanks for starting this week's thread, SAPF (even if you've removed the element of fear by suggesting I have a heart)
Sorry about the toe, CassandraA. Hope it heals quickly. On a happy note though, I see you've bought fruits and veggies!! I have to admit I've wanted to ask you for the longest time where the produce is in your diet!
Claire, substituting couscous for fries is certainly worthy!
Everyone else - looking good!

He did awesome! As part of his test he broke two boards with two different kicks-the roundhouse and the ax kick. Very cool! )
