Friday 8/13

Breakfast
Breakfast Sandwich (2 slices white bread, Parkay Lite, veggie sausage patty, 1/3 cup egg beaters, 2% cheese slice) (350)

Lunch (at Brazilian Steak House, so kind of vague)
Little bit of lettuce leaf salad with "mystery dressing"
5 or 6 stalks of asparagus
3 or 4 slices of tomato
1 "cube" soft mozarrella cheese (part of tomato and mozarella salad)
Sliced carrots
Sliced cucumbers
1/4 cup rice fixed with butter
1/4 cup black beans
1 slice of filet mignon (2 oz?)
1 piece of mahi mahi (2 oz?)
2 bites of bread

(I actually don't think lunch was so bad. Everyone else pigged out. And they went and got 32 ounce smoothies afterwards! But then, the downfall of restraint...)

Snack
1 bag of Famous Amos cookies (300)

Dinner
Hardee's thick burger with bacon and cheese (900!)
Hardee's medium fries (520!!)

So, without lunch, I managed to pack in nearly 2100 calories. So eh, I estimate just under a 3000 calorie day. Oy.

Saturday, Aug 14th
197 lbs (gained 7 earlier this summer, holding steady for the last week)
So glad to start a fresh week.

Breakfast: 270 calories
cereal 140
milk 80
coffee with creamer 50

Congrats on the 10 lbs weight loss! I can't wait to get just 1 off of my belt

Lunch: 500
large avocado 250
large peach 110
crackers 140

No water yet, I need to get with it

Snack: 500 calories
5 prunes, 2 (14oz) glasses water
approximately 3 brownies worth of crumbs from the bottom of the pan as I unloaded the brownies out of the pan 400

Hey guys!! A new week!! I weighed myself this am and I am 193.5! Down from 204.
This morning I walked a mile, ran about 3 and then walked one back. Needless to say, it took awhile so I had brunch when I got home.
2 eggs over easy cooked with Pam
2 slices raisin bread (with the eggs on top, no butter)
I figure that is about 390 calories. Haven't decided on dinner yet.

I am just grinning ear to ear that I have lost over 10 pounds!!

Hope you all are having a great Saturday!

Jen

You know, the whole sandwich was huge and on thick bread (Asiago cheese foccacio) and, eaten whole, was 950 claories. 950! Amazing. Of course, half of it was like normal sandwich size. But I'm still boggling. I didn't see the calorie count until after I ate it.

1/2 Turkey fresco sub on thick bread (475)

Smoothie was nice on the sore throat. I almost had a chicken garden salad instead, but the sore throat won out! And thanks for the loss, though it seems soooooo glacial. Down a pound, up a pound, nothing, down 2 pounds... ugh. Still, eating healthier, I suppose. Er. Usually.

I may be able to journal for a few days this week before I leave town on Friday for a week. Jen - congrats on your loss!!
