  • New week, new thread!

    Monday:
    B - oatmeal, brown sugar, dried cranberries, cinnamon, skim milk
    L - rice, leftover tofu veggie mix
    S - apple
    D - frozen mixed veggies, 2 corn tortillas, roasted asparagus, chicken in mole sauce, angel hair pasta
    E - 2 mile run, second mile HIIT
  • The weekend was totally off track... Moving on.

    Today:
    B: smoothie, coffee
    S: strawberries, string cheese
    L: grilled chicken salad
    S: trail mix, yogurt w/ strawberries, pineapple, blueberries & maybe granola
    D: ground turkey breast over rice, broccoli
    S: yogurt w/ annie's graham bunnies

    E: not sure yet - some knee and elbow pain so might take off another day. Was an off day yesterday, thought the aches would go away but haven't yet.
  • I finally finished tallying up my weekend, so here it is . . .

    Friday:
    B - oatmeal, raisins, blueberries, skim milk
    L - 2 slices papa john's veggie pizza
    S - apple
    D - rice, stir fry of choy sum and tofu with teriyaki sauce
    S - handful of raisins, some of DH's beer
    E - none, it was raining

    Saturday:
    B - oatmeal, raisins, blueberries, skim milk
    L - leftover rice and veggies
    D - @restaurant, margarita, salad w/italian dressing, couple pieces of bread, 6oz bacon-wrapped sirloin steak w/bbq sauce, baked sweet potato with butter on the side (I only used half the butter)
    S - 1/2 oz semisweet chocolate
    E - none

    Sunday:
    B - raisin bran, skim milk
    L - fettucine, sauce
    D - roasted chicken, carrots, pumpkin chestnut stuffing, glass of wine
    S - hot cocoa w/marshmallows
    E - swim intervals

    The funny thing is that even with a restaurant meal in there, my calories for Saturday and Sunday came out approximately the same (about 1750). Weird. Also weird is that Tuesday for some reason I ate 1800.
  • Okay, I need to get back on this pony. Not been doing awful, but not awfully well either.

    B - oatmeal with walnuts, stewed prunes, skim milk; 1/2 ww bagel with pb
    S - ff latte, 1/3 oatmeal raisin cookie
    L - oriental sesame pasta (actually had lots of carrots and broccoli); rest of the cookie
    S - ?
    D - salmon? chicken?, roasted squash, swiss chard (DH gets potatoes as well)

    Ex: FB WO
  • Yesterday was fine. 5 calories under maintenance level. Woo hoo.

    Today:
    B: kashi w/ 2% and berries, coffee
    S: string cheese, strawberries & blueberries
    L: grilled chicken salad
    S: yogurt w/ berries & pineapple
    D: no clue. Something with chicken.
    S: depends on dinner
    E: cardio - elliptical probably. Yoga I hope.
  • Dinner yesterday was kind of a disaster, but in terms of emotions, not actual food. Suffice to say that I asked DH to cook while I went for my run, expecting food to be done when I got back, and forgetting that it takes him about 10x as long to make a recipe as it takes me. Hungry Jessica = grouchy Jessica, and I am embarrassed to admit that I yelled at DH then cried because I was hungry. Everything worked out in the end though.

    Tuesday:
    B - oat bran, raisins, blueberries, sugar, skim milk
    L - leftover pumpkin chestnut stuffing, asparagus, and frozen veggies
    S - apple
    D - spaghetti and turkey meatballs with mushrooms and green beans
    S - hot apple cider
    E - NRLW S4W4A
  • Well, dinner went to he** for me as well, though it was in terms of food..... Back on the pony

    B - scrambled eggs with onion, zucchini, mushrooms; 1/2 ww bagel with laughing cow light cheese
    S - Blueberry Bliss Luna bar (while on a conference call - yawn)
    L - turkey sandwich on whole wheat, tomato, lettuce
    S - grapes, 1 oz cheddar cheese
    D - ??? provided by City Council, hopefully not pizzza
  • It is sunny outside... wish I had my stuff for the park...

    On the upside, I went into Panera Bread and came out with only a salad. Walked right past the pastry case and the individual wrapped cookies, brownies and bagel bites stuffed all around the register...
  • Wednesday:
    B - oatmeal w/blueberries, raisins, skim milk
    L - leftover spaghetti and turkey meatballs/veggies
    D - cooking light african chicken in spicy red sauce, rice, roasted cauliflower, slice of sourdough
    S - apple
    E - none, I was lazy
  • Yesterday was decent. The council meeting provided wraps, cut into pretty small pieces. I had one piece of a spicy beef one. Quite tasty. The meeting however lasted from 6 pm to 11 pm, and the mini-snickers got me (they are not Halloween candy though!)

    B - oatmeal with stewed prunes, walnuts, skim milk; 1/2 ww bagel with pb
    S - cookie at work
    L - leftover ww spaghetti with homemade sauce
    S - grapes, cheddar cheese
    D - ? probably a chicken salad (out with GFs)

    Ex: cardio at lunch
  • Did you check the wrappers, Pat?

    Jessica, I'd love to see that recipe (if it turns out good)!

    Shannon, I brought my running stuff to work today! It's like summer out there! 3.5 miles, baby!
  • Gelatto last night. Enough said.

    Midwife - great job on the run! I cut my grass when I got home yesterday instead of running...

    Today:
    B: smoothie, coffee
    L: turkey, ham, lettuce & tomato on wheat w/ some trail mix
    S: string cheese, yogurt w/ berries, pineapple & granola
    D: probably a PB&J
    S: depends... maybe just tea...
  • Urgh. I just wasted 120 calories on nutritionally void Special K Chocolate Delight cereal.
  • Quote: Did you check the wrappers, Pat?
    Why, yes I did! Nary a word about a certain holiday.... The clerks buy them all the time to placate the council members and the Dept Directors who are required to attend the meetings....
  • I said I was going to start being accountable on here, and I need to stick to it!

    B: Larabar, apple, coffee
    L: leftover zucchini lasagna
    S: coffee, sweetbread from the cafe (a little TOM indulgence)
    other S: yogurt
    D: (planned) turkey and swiss sandwich, carrots w/ hummus, pretzels, pear

    E: run/walk intervals, it's either 3.5 or 4 miles today. that's my plan and I'm sticking to it!
