I had a very sedentary day yesterday, on purpose, because of a hurt back and a lot of stress. Ended up with a 22 calorie surplus, which is basically breaking even. Boy, it makes a huge difference in how many calories you can eat when you don't move!


Oh, I almost forgot to say! My weight this morning was a new low, 131. I haven't weighed that since about 1990. :)

Welp yesterday was just a busy, busy run-around day. Oven shopping, pretty sure we have it down to what we want but the salesman we wanted to work with wasn't in so we'll have to go back Sat or Sun to purchase. Totally looking forward to a range whose upper coils of the oven don't hang way down cause the cheap-assed thing broke ages ago and to a true flat top. No more 'one side of the pan is too hot, the other side isn't hot enough' Builders grade suckssss.

So even though a b-day was yesterday I came in around 1400 cals. Not too shabby.

b: picante/cheese omelet, banana w/p. butter, coffee - 400 (can't tell you how full this keeps me. Ate at 9:00am and never got hungry till 2:00pm).
l: greek yogurt, 6 small pretzel w/a small bit of cheese dip- 250
d: spaghetti, tons of sauteed veggies (put them on top of the pasta b/4 meat sauce), meat sauce - 500 tops
d: very small piece of choc cake (oh, it may have sunk to new depths in the center but boy was it ever good!) - 300 (no clue on this, basically guessing)

Total: 1450 give or take

Really not thinking I'm going to see any type of loss tomorrow, even though cals have been OP as has exercise. Sometimes these things happen.

Just stopping in to say to loose seal, I love your avatar. Every time I see it I have to smile. I bet you have a wonderful sense of humor too! :) I check in on the calorie counting thread often to get ideas for meals. ;)

Annyong. :lol:

Lunch -
1 cup Vegetable Soup - 150 calories
1/2 cup of cottage cheese - 90 calories

Snack - 7 Reduced Fat Triskets - 120 calories

Will drink water the rest of the day. I'm not hungry.

I'm really enjoying having a filling breakfast. This is so helping me because I am not hungry until lunch time. I also learned the oatmeal mixed with Peanut butter is also filling. I'm stuffed after eating this.

Hello all! Hope you don't mind if I jump in here. I've been off the wagon for months and I'm finally recommitting to do this again. I'm tracking calories on an app on my iPhone, but I figure having to post it for others to see will help keep me on track as well. ;)


B: 1 small sliced banana, 1/4c blueberries, 1/4c almond milk (126c)
S: 2 dehydrated mango slices (70c)
L: 1 can tomato soup, 2 slices Italian garlic bread (523c)

Totals so far for today
 

I'm trying to eat between 1400-1500 calories a day and so far I've stuck to it.

Breakfast: 1 slice whole grain bread (90), 1 Tbs cream cheese (40), 2 scrambled eggs (204) = 334 total calories

Snacks: ate about a 1/2 cup of veggies throughout the morning = about 30 total calories

Lunch: 2 cups of O organic lentil soup (200), fat free plain yogurt (60) with 1 tsp honey (21) and 1/3 cup frozen peaches (25) = a total of 306 calories.

And I still have about 800 left for the day!

Welcome, Urthworm!

Good job, Kayann! You are eating at a better pace than I am today. I will have to do some stepping, if I'm going to earn enough calories for dinner. It was the Wendy's that did it, although I only had a sandwich. No time to fix anything, so this was unplanned.

I don't usually watch TV this time of day, but I'm watching Dr. Oz. He's talking about cheat days, and how to do them.

Hi ladies. I am still here. Struggling to be consistently counting! I was sick this week. Slept alot and had a busu schedule otherwise. Didn't workout tues-thurs. an I wasn't entering everything. Honestly one day (yesterday after feeling good again) was really high. Guesstimate 2400 cals. The two previous days probably low like 800 one day 1200 the next. Barely moved much when I didn't have too, so my regular daily calories burned was I'm sure very low. Anyways back on track today. Counted everything so far and ran 3 miles and lifted legs after. Have to leave for work in like 5 mins. Tomorrow skiing with family and then working at night. I'll be tracking on my fitness pal and I'll enter all my foods on Sunday or Monday! Good luck all. Looking forward to admitting all that I eat (hopefully helps keep me in check) after this busy weekend.

QueenS -- hey, that's about the last time I saw 131 too!

Welcome, UrthWurm!!
