i've read about others thinking of starting this, so i went ahead and did it cause i need it too. This way, if anyone is unsure about what they've eaten today ( if it was a bad choice ), or if they just need new food ideas they can look here. It's a multi-purpose thread! Besides, i need to really have someone to be accountable to and can use the outside input on my choices.
B: 2 eggs and a piece of toast
L: tomato sandwich
D: a dinner salad and a piece of cornbread.

Reason: change
Hi thinny - put the day in the title of the thread next time, we start a new one each day so it doesnt get too long..
B: oatmeal with tsp honey, eggbeater omelet with lowfat cheese and some leftover veggies and salsa. Coffee with hazelnut milk (which I think they are discontinuing )
B2: (I have my 1st breakfast at ~6:30 and sometimes need a nosh while giving kids breakfast) cherries, more coffee.
to be continued...
I have a ton of produce I need to use up so probably a big salad and/or maybe a stirfry for lunch
EDIT:
Or maybe instead I will have :
a.m. snack - Salad with stick cheese
Lunch - WALK to run errands, grab turkey avocado sub en route. 1/2 package sun chips, cookie. More calories than planned but also a 4.25 mile walk so probably nets out.
PM snack 2 chocolates, 3 macadamias
dinner I am going to a banquet, as I recall from last year there wasnt too much food - only downside was not ENOUGH veggies. Last year it was some dry bland chicken and bland rice and bland peas and salad and dessert. BUT we are a poor organization and its only $13 a head for a catered affair.
I have 2 canker sores on opposite sides of the mouth - (one in the back of my tongue on right side, the other being just inside my lip on the left side), so only smooth foods for me (which I found out after breakfast)
B - 1 boiled egg, 1/2 cup LF Cottage cheese, whole sliced tomato
L - Grilled Chicken on wheat bun, small salad with FF dressing
S - 1 cup of watermelon and 1/2 cup of grapes
D - Frozen On-Cor Dinner partners (meatloaf/mashed potatos), beets, peas
hmm..i think i did alright today. could've done better, and i'm weighing in this saturday. luckily, my exercise has been great!
b: chicken salad (with 2.5 teaspoons of mayo), a cooked white egg, lettuce on an english muffin. a small mango, and a 3 oz. skinny latte
l: veggie broth with mushrooms; chinese mushrooms with cucumber, scrambled egg, and minced pork. one small peach
s: 6 oz. of fresh carrot juice
d: don't know yet. but i'm going to keep in control and skip fruit tonight.
still feeling the sores (moreso the one on the back of my tongue) so again, another mostly soft & squishy day.
B: Energy bar (LUNA vanilla/mac nut teacake, YUM!!) + square of chocolate - 210
S: 2 Packets Instant Oatmeal + cinnamon - 250
L: Can of Progresso's "Chickarina" soup with wilted mixed greens - 270
S2: 2 squares of chocolate - 120
D: Smoothie from Juice It Up! or Robek's ~ 350-450
TOTAL: 1,300 max and can't wait to eat solid/textured foods again.
Menu:
B - Greek yogurt, high fiber cereal, raspberries
S - 2 cups decaf coffee, each with 1 tbsp FF half and half and 2 tbsp SF syrup
L - chicken, polenta, eggplant & tomato sauce, pickles, a few marinated mushrooms, 1 tortilla chip, 4 mini rice cakes, and a few freeze-dried mango slices
S - Fiber One Muffin with NF cream cheese
S - Not sure, something around 150 to 200 calories
D - Pork Diane, rice pilaf, salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, and lime-cilantro dressing
S - low cal pudding and mini-meringues
Exercise: 15 min stair machine, 15 min of running intervals on treadmill, 15 min abs
So, as I said, I had friends in from out of town today and we went for sushi....so not such a good day food wise. BUT, I ate fairly lightly the rest of the day, and got a reasonable amount of exercise. I'm hoping that if I drink tonnes of water to counteract all the salt in the soy sauce, it won't have too much of an affect on my weight.
B: 1 orange/cranberry soy muffin, peach
L: 2 pieces of crispbread spread with 1TBSP peanut butter, veggie sticks with a bit of dip, 1/2 cup strawberry bran bites.
S: 1 apple
D: LOTS of sushi, and 1 scoop green tea ice cream.
*sigh* well tomorrow will have to be a better day. I am so glad that its almost friday, and the LONG WEEKEND!!!!!
