I had factored in 100 calories of dark chocolate and then I forgot to eat it. I never thought something like that would happen.

I got my walk in again today at lunch. If I walk again tomorrow I'll have walked 6 miles this week! We're driving "home" for Easter on Friday, so I doubt I'll get any exercise while in the car. I may try to get a walk in while we are there though.
Way to go on resisting one of my favorite foods lovemyboy - cinnamon buns - yummmm. I hope you like the Fiber One as much as I do. Who needs stupid cinnamon buns anyway.
Coolmom, it sounds like you're really getting into the swing of things. Good for you.
Jamn, it sounds like you held your own at the ball park. It could have been A LOT worse.
Justme, I'm always glad to hear about another Fiber One convert.
zenor, exercising in the car, hmmm? I have a real strange image of that in my head now.
Anyway, I had a low day yesterday, - about 1000 calories. I have no doubt that I will make up for it as the week progresses, actually I had a couple of higher days the past few, so it's all good.
Have a great day everyone, healthy, safe and productive.

Went to Curves and tried to walk,
Got 9/10 of a mile, when the treadmill stopped me dead in my tracks. I almost hit my nose on the front. my treadmill over heats when I go to fast. guess I need to keep my speed more steady. I Like to go fast as I warm up. We cleaned the motor last night. Hope it does better today.
Nope can't walk outside!
Our temps went from almost 70's on monday, to 20's today. lots of strong winds and SNOW. That IS a four letter word for me today. YUK!
Good Morning! Yesterday's menu was same-o, same-o. I did purchase some Newman's Light Balsamic Vinaigrette, I forget who said it was good. I noticed a bottle of Newman's Low Fat Sesame Ginger on the shelf next to it and had visions of Chicken Salad, which I made last night. I kid you not, DH said 3 times that it was the best chicken salad he'd ever eaten. That Ginger dressing is awesome! I usually make scratch dressings, when this is gone I'm going to find a recipe for it, yum! I easily made my 1200 calorie goal because I had 7.75 oz. of chicken breast in my salad. Calories... 1,218 Fiber... 38 grams (much lower than my usual but I only had F.One once yesterday)
Delarimi... I can sympathize with you about your mom, mine also had Alheimers, she had it over 10 years. I sure hope they can find a cure for it, what a tragedy to lose all those years of wonderful memories of family life. I purchased my wheat bran a our local food co-op, but I think you can find it at any grocery store.

I have been bad about coming on regularly. I asked about the wheat bran a while back.. wondered if you got that in a health food store or just what it was. I don't know what it is about me not being able to stick to anything.. perhaps it has something to do with high stress job and watching my Alheimer's mom!!!! but I really want to commit to this and making the blueberry muffins is a start.. thanks
I have the house to myself again today, DH is taking his mom to Rochester clinic again for more tests. He took my car since it's easier on gas and left his big 4-wheel drive pick-up. I hate driving that monster, hope I don't have any emergencies.
Bad day yesterday but calories still weren't to bad, 1707. I decided to make easter baskets and I included some of my favs and I thought I would be OK but I wasn't.
Bobbi ~ It sounds like the Newman dressing is fantastic. My two questions are, does it have that funky light dressing taste and is it unexpectantly sweet?
I have found that a lot of dressing that are light have a funky taste to them and often are a little sweet, even the ranches. The chicken sounds really, really good.

I use "newmans honey lt. honey mustard dressing."

Its not bad. and I don't feel guilty using it. If you don't like the flavor of a diet dressing, I don't think its worth using it. One needs to enjoy their food somewhat!
Dressing is one thing I don't buy fat free. YUK! Then I don't want to eat my salads.
All this talk about newman's dressing...my calories for yesterday is 120 more than planned because I stole the kids newman's tops and bottoms cookies (like oreos without the cream) 6 cookies for 120 calories..It was yummy though!!
SOOO calories for yesterday 1320ish.....I fear the yummies at the circus on Sat, and I've put off doing up the Easter baskets, because I'll probably eat a little...Not HUNGRY but want the taste....I bought some beautiful strawberries yesterday...My oldest boy and I have plans for munching on them after school together!! They look and smell perfect!!
Dressing is one thing I don't buy fat free. YUK! Then I don't want to eat my salads.
I agree! I would rather use a very small amount of full fat dressing and enjoy my salad than eat fat free dressings!
I like to make my own dressings most of the time, but I've always had good luck with the Newman's Own dressings. They are good! I don't think I've had the Ginger one that Bobbi mentioned; I think I'll pick some up next time I'm at the store.
Light Goddess Dressing (I snagged this off of someone's blog~so it is not original to me)
6 ounces lite firm silken tofu (1/2 pkg. of Mori-Nu)
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon tahini I use 2T~It adds another 9 cals & 1 gram of fat per serving
2 green onions, white parts removed, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, packed I don't always have this on hand~it's okay without it
1 large clove garlic
Put everything in a blender or food processor and blend till smooth.
Makes 10 servings of 2 tbsp. each. Per serving: 19 Calories, 1 g Total Fat, 1 g Protein, 1 g Carbohydrate.
I also make a homemade balsamic vinegar dressing. This is a small amount, but you can multipy the amounts to make more.
I use the nutritional info in fitday for this one. It's under dressings, homemade, oil & vinegar. I usually use 1/2 T and fitday calculates it at 35 cals for a 1/2T.
Went over by 500 yesterday and it's going to be a struggle to come in on target today. I'm going to a party and I'll have only 300 calories to spare.
You can do it Jman! Do you know what kinds of food to expect? Maybe you should look up the calories of things online to get an idea of what would be good for you to eat.
I'm going to an industry (wine industry) open house tonight. It's before dinner, so I may just have a salad when I get home, but I'm going to look up calories on typical appetizers so I'm prepared and have a plan. I'm going to try really hard to only have 1 glass of wine. I'm going to "milk" it as long as possible.
If I walk again tomorrow I'll have walked 6 miles this week! We're driving "home" for Easter on Friday, so I doubt I'll get any exercise while in the car. I may try to get a walk in while we are there though.
