Default Journal 8/20-8/27

Journal with us to keep on track!

Started off with the dreaded midnight snack : cereal with milk (250)

Friday 8-20
Breakfast: 1.5 cups blueberries (120)
3o pm: 1/2 cup salsa (30)

There is a legitimate reason for this ~ Sushi Friday at Swan's Landing. I just called for reservations and found that they are not doing Sushi until Friday, Sept 1st. I starved myself all day for no reason. ARGGGGHHHHHHH

I still have to take my best friend to dinner (and the rodeo) afterwards.

Firday 8/20

Breakfast
Oatmeal (130)
Veggie breakfast patty (80)

Lunch
6" steak and cheese at Subway, with southwest sauce (450?)

Snack
1 oz cheese (110)
Fruit pack (80)

Dinner
BK Angus steak burger with ketchup (610)
BK frieds (340)

Total Thus Far: 1800

Not the best nutrition, alas. I'm really not sure if I should be eating 1400, 1600, or 1800 calories so I mix it up. I've decided that Friday is just going to be fast food burger day for me. Once a week, at the weight I'm at now, should be fine.

It is hard to play journal by catch up:

Yesterday (Friday) after a total of 150 calories by dinner time I had
2 glasses of wine (240)
a cosmopolotin (150)
a margarita (200)
salad with grilled ahi (200)
more salad 50
calimari (300)
1/4 roll (50)

1330 - not so bad now that I add it up.

Then today:
oatmeal 150
2 blueberry pancakes 200
2 cups milk 160
cheese 50
crackers 200
turkey 150
blueberries 100

So far today 1010 calories (it's noon) and I did get alot of exercise
I may go to a potluck family reunion this afternoon if Wil ever wakes from his nap.
roasted red pepper

I pretty much inhaled food when I got back from my swim. A 1.78 mile open water race which I did in 1.5 hours, my second slowest time in 10 years of doing this race.

4:31 Made it through a family reunion without touching the cakes, pies, or even casserolls. Ate carrot sticks, celery and salad. I also had about 300 calories in sunflower seeds. Now I am starving. I am figuring I am at about 1400 calories for the day right now.

some cottage cheese and beans for a total of about 1600 for the day. Yahoo!

Okay!

Lunch~ Turkey/tomato/mustard on a toasted English Muffin. 1 peach
Half a pepsi (about 6 ozs)
Dinner will be a ground turkey/bean/rice burrito and grape tomatoes.

Yum! Jen

Ran 3+ miles, and had a slice of pineapple in addition to the burrito and tomatoes.

I have had lots of days like that drummer girl. Now I am trying to concentrate on successful little streaks of good behavior. I was good yesterday and my goal is under 1500 through next Sunday. Small goals make it easier.

Breakfast:
oatmeal (150)
coffee with creamer (50)

Lunch:
salad (100)
chicken (200)

Snack:
Chicken (200)
soda bread (50)
milk (40)

Dinner:
Stir fry veggies with tofu (300)
green beans (50)
feta (80)
cottage cheese (100)
cucumber/tomato salad (50)

before bed:
decaf coffee with creamer (50)

Total for the day 1370 - no exercise.

I am going to talk to DH tonight about reactivating our gym membership. At this points it costs about $75 a month to go and $15 a month to not go. If we quit all together we lose our membership. I put it on hold after neither of us had been for several months and it seemed excessive to pay that much for it to sit there. Anna is old enough to hang in the daycare while we work out.

Tuesday 8/24

Breakfast
Luna Bar (180)
Fruit Cup, miscellaneous fruit (100?)

Lunch
Pack of trail mix (180)

Snack
Chocolate chip cookie (220?)

Dinner (at last!)
Foot long turkey and cheese on white with light mayo from Subway (760)

Total: 1440? Can't add!

(I'm on a business trip and ended up in meetings all throughout lunch. When I came back, no food was to be had! Well, some chips that didn't look too good and some leftover fruit and bagels. I'll hold out until tonight and pick up a foot-long Subway sub on the way home. Have more work to do tonight after work. Kinda hungry now, though, but there's nothing I want to eat here. Not even the cookies, weirdly enough. -- Update! Succumbed and ate a cookie to avoid starving to death. Another coworker and I are running to the grocery store right after work.)
