  • I soooooooooo didn't want to post this (I'm always 1 day behind) I don't want anyone looking at this menu and think it's a healthy way of eating. We just have so much to do and eating isn't a priority at the moment. But I committed to this challenge and I'll post my menu. Just don't follow it. I swear I'll eat better today.

    Exercise – None for the first time in a VERY long time; just too tired, plus it was cold and drizzly out.

    Fun – Not really ; felt pretty lousy, actually; think I was running a low-grade fever - felt very "out of it" towards afternoon and the end of the day.

    Vitamins/Fish Oils
    Fiber One, dry

    Morning Snack: None

    Lunch: 98% lo fat turkey on low cal bread.


    Afternoon Snack: None


    Supper: DH made a pot of spaghetti noodles to feed the entire county. I browned up some Elk burger earlier in the day, mixed in a jar of organic pasta sauce, made garlic toast. DH also made a nice salad with greens from our garden. Sesame/Ginger dressing. I wonder if our chickens would eat some spaghetti noodles?

    Evening Snack: None
  • Okay. Today. (I'm feeling some better, Phyllis, so whatever that was, it doesn't hang on too long, thank goodness . Hope whatever you have passes just as quickly. The weather is still kind of lousy hereabouts, and I may have to resort to using the trimrider in the spare bedroom if it's raining after work and I can't take a bike ride).

    B- Baggie w/dry Fiber One, raisins & cranberries.
    S- Peanut Butter Fiber One bar (The peanut butter bars don't have SHELLAC
    in them)
    L- A sun dried tomato Flat Out (thanks, Bobbi!!!) w/a slice of pretend soy
    American cheese (35 cal.), 2 thin slices deli ham, 2 thin slices deli turkey,
    mustard. 1 Orange
    S- None - I have no food left with me!!!!!
    D- Baked chicken breast (I KNOW, Phyllis. I KNOW. I'm beginning to FEEL like
    a chicken breast!), a baked sweet potato w/I can't believe it's not butter
    spray, steamed brocolli, carmel FF pudding, FF whipped cream, Fiber One
    sprinkles
    S- Maybe Smart Pop popcorn

    Exercise - either a bike ride or the Trimrider, depending on the weather

    Fun - Hmmmm. Let's see. Nothing that I can really classify as rip-roaring fun, to tell you the truth. DH & I will chat about our day, we'll chat about politics, current events, and maybe we'll listen to a few NPR segments while he paints or <confession time> I may read aloud from one of our Edward/win (?) Rutherfurd novels - probably the one that traces Ireland's history. We both really enjoy his books. That's my dirty little secret - we like reading aloud to each other. (Yeah...we're pretty weird...)

    TTFN,

    Ella-the-Odd
  • B: Crustless quiche (turkey bacon,mushrooms,green onions, broccolli)
    S: None, ate breakfast kind of late..had to go to store first!
    Dinner:Grilled marinated steak and salad (butter lettuce,grape tomatos,avocado,green onion,olive bruchetta,mozzarella cheese, dijon vinegarette dressing)
    S:a couple of tropical fruit no sugar added popsicles
    evening:Maybe some laughing cow cheese and a few pita chips
    Dessert: Peanut Butter Cup (fudgesicle,organic crunchy peanut butter and cool whip)

    No fun or exercise..too much work to do with a deadline, but hope to watch "Pirates" this evening.

  • Good going, Phyllis (and everybody). I'm still afraid to weigh myself. Sad but true. Maybe tomorrow.

    ANYWAY, here goes:

    B- baggie w/ Fiber One cereal, another kind of (organic, high fiber) cereal, some dried cranberries, raisins, and five little pieces of dried pineapple.

    L - Baked chicken breast from last night, steamed brocolli (been buying fresh brocolli in microwaveable steamer bags), 1 sun dried tomato Flat-Out.

    S- 1/2 (135 cal.) of a "women's something-or-other" chocolate bar. Costs a fortune, guaranteed to do everything for you, including the laundry. Okay. Not the laundry. No need. DH does it.

    D- Hmmm. Should be interesting. Going to grandson's "graduation from Kindergarten" cook out. I have been promised a tossed salad and barbecue sauce-less grilled chicken. (Yeah. More chicken. Cluck, cluck!!)

    S - NO microwave Smart Pop! (Need to buy a new microwave tomorrow. Old one seems to have a short circuit or something. Keeps tripping the circuit breaker. Not good.) If I MUST, I'll have a Fiber One peanut butter bar for an evening snack. (Unless I'm reading the ingrients wrong, I think it's just the chocolate ones that say they have "confectioner's shellac" in them. Ack!

    Exercise - a bike ride if we're home in time. If not, I guess I'll just have to settle for chasing little kids around at the cook out!!!!

    Fun - The cook out (one can only hope, right?)

    Anybody got any funny stories? (I'm sooo bored!)
  • For today,

    Fun - Spend the day with my Little Sister
    Exercise - Maybe a walk - I can't wait until I get these stitches out & can get back to the gym!
    Eating -
    Breakfast - 1 egg + 1 sl lo-carb brd + 1 sl bacon
    Lunch - salad, tuna, mayo
    Dinner - turkey cutlet, spaghetti squash, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese (My sil invited me over for dinner last night & I never got to eat this meal)
