Yo, Demon Slayer Cerise, congratulations on thy victory over the :devil: Dehydration ... I have to fight that one, too. Shall go drink a glass in thy honor!!! Huzzah!!
Huzzah to Demon Slayer Eydie for thy eight fruit/vege servings to balance off the chocolate/caramel treasures (I don't think I want to know what those are or how to get them!) ... but chocolate DOES have antioxidants, so it's all good. In thy honor, I'm going to have an EAS Carb Control Special Dark Chocolate shake for dinner ... :s: I'm lucky to be on today because of the storms, will post my Friday menu tomorrow because I'm not done eating!!!! :yes: Tried to conquer the sugar on oatmeal thing but got a worse headache than I've had for a month, so it didn't work. Thursday's calories were up by mistake as I forgot to write down the brown rice until I sat down to post this. Thursday's menu: EAS Carb Control vanilla shake (100) Pear-Cheese muffin (95) Butter spray for day (10) 1/4 cup Scots oatmeal (75) 1 T turbinado sugar (45) Pear-Cheese muffin (95) 1 1/2 serving Apricot/Curry Chicken (155) 1 serving fruited brown rice (250) Asparagus (20) EAS Carb Control vanilla shake (100) EAS Carb Control Vanilla Shake (100) 1/4 cup Scottish oatmeal (75) 2 T. turbinado sugar (90) Pear-Cheese muffin (95) EAS Carb Control Vanilla Shake (100) Pear-Cheese muffin (95) 2 Pear-Cheese muffins (190) EAS Carb Control Vanilla Shake (100) Total: 1790 :wave: |
Ok, I found more math mistakes in my written journal today so put the daily log on a spreadsheet and here it is for Friday (I haven't had the last carb control shake ... and I do know I'm drinking too many of them but it's transitional) ... I think I'm going to try the spreadsheet for awhile but order the nutrition calculator I want so I can carry it around ... or not, dunno ... later ... maybe index cards for carrying and the spreadsheet for once a day! I'm obsessed with calorie counting!!!! Yowza!

Yo, the coconut marshmallows sound interesting, Eydie!!!
I'm having much fun calorie counting. Love my new spreadsheet and am going to buy colorful index cards per Kaylets' suggestion so I don't keep making math mistakes in my journal ... so busy sometimes that I just scrawl stuff into that book or forget about it. That could make a difference and sabotage my weight loss!!!! Yowza! Will be back later with a menu! |
Ok, Elberta Crone be nagging at me to close the kitchen, so I'm posting my menu and my totals for the first week of my new initiative. Again, I caught a math mistake I made on the index card (love this idea ... bought pink and blue index cards and a card box to keep both the empty and filled cards and am periodically updating the spreadsheets, but I forgot to write down 90 calories, found it when entering into the spreadsheet ... this could make a big difference over time). Anyhow, I'm about to eat the last meal of day ... it was a high day but I made all my initiatives for the week ... exercise and calories. The initiative again is for a weekly average of no more than 1500-1700 cal; I had an average of 1790 and for 390 minutes of exercise; I exceeded this by 80 minutes!

Hello all!
Empress- Maybe I should ask for more nutrition details on EAS shakes... Maybe they have a website...I could take a look... Saw an interesting recipe this am on the CBS Saturday am "Shoestring" segment... Pea and Carrot soup... So I made it... and almost gave myself a small stroke when I found out that 1/2 cup of cooked split peas is 2 points! The whole time I thought peas were 0 points! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........ I had plenty of points to spare tonight but what a suprise...Not even sure what made me look to see if there were points... So... peas = lentils ( cooked dried peas/lentils) Guess that makes perfect sense..... Its a shame ... I thought I had figured out another zero point soup... . SO I can relate Empress... 4 points here, 90 calories there.... sometimes we just don't realize... we think we're doing well but we learn every day.... and Eydie-- hats off to you for only eating 4 of the marshmallow thingies... I'd have not stopped till the package was gone.... Think I better go tell DH about the peas... |
Kaylets, I'm pmg thee!!! :wave:

I remember the coconut marshmallows from my childhood. They were so easy to find then. Empress, they're full-sized marshmallows rolled in toasted coconut---very tasty indeed, and a reasonable treat, if you don't eat the whole bag! ;) Interestingly, I found them in the Passover foods section at the supermarket.
Here's yesterday's menu: Coffee w/ ff 1/2 and 1/2 orange juice hi-fiber bagel w/ 1 tbsp. cream cheese, egg sub. 2 stuffed grape leaves w/ 1 tbsp. cucumber sauce 4 coconut marshmallows :D sweet potato-veg.-tofu Thai curry with rice FF frozen yogurt w/ caramel and pecans Here's something crazy: Garry and I lost our minds last night and drove 90 minutes to the closest Thai place for dinner. It's insane, I know, [his idea!], but I'm proud that I went and did something spontaneous and weird. Good to go out of the comfort zone once in a while! Hey, where's Ceara? Haven't seen her in a bit. |
Yowza, :queen: E, that soundeth fun to zip out to a Thai place and congrats on the good job thou did there foodwise!!!! Thy menu looketh good!!!
Seconding the wondering about Ceara! Hope she be ok! No weight gain, no weight loss for me! So shall continue on in the same vein!!!! I had a few more of the carb control drinks last night as wasn't feeling well. That likely slowed the scale weight loss a bit but it's a mere bagatelle (sp?)!!!!! Gotta go! Will post menu tonight!!! |
Elberta Crone hath declared the kitchen closed for the night! Here be Amarantha's menu, not great healthwise but chasing those cals back closer to the 1500s:

Monday
coffee w/ ff 1/2 and 1/2

I have to correct that immediately! The thing is, I'm really hungry! I feel that i'm doing more strenuous workouts---would that make me hungrier? If that's the case, I have to make sure that I have better choices ready. Too much bread-y stuff lately. |
Yo, Eydie, I've been hungry lately also ... and craving bready things, hence the healthy baking spree. I know the healthier muffins I've been making have really kept me away from donuts, at least, if not from pb cups.
I bought Bill Phillip's BFL cookbook yesterday. I really love the recipes and will be playing with them soon ... they are just right for me. Gotta work now, going to gym later (sorry, not a food item, but yes, I do think the extra exercise makes one hungrier, so IMO it's really important to eat satisfying healthy food and make every calorie count ... so the journaling and counting do seem important IMO!!!) Here's my yesterday's menu: EAS CC van shake 100 Pear-cheese muffin 95 Pear-cheese muffin 95 EAS CC van shake 100 Pkg. of two pb cups 230 EAS CC van shake 100 Chicken breast 150 Whole wheat pita 160 1/4 package spring mix salad 10 2 T fat free mayo w/curry powder 20 EAS CC van shake 100 EAS CC van shake 100 Oats/2 T. turbinado/butter spray 175 2 pear-cheese muffins 190 EAS CC van shake 100 Total: 1725 |
