Hi there


Here is my menu for the day. I didn't do good because I had too many carbs and I ended going over in the sodium today. But I won't tomorrow. I will do better I have to in order to stay healthy.

Here is the bad news:

Breakfast:

Egg 65
Oatmeal 1/2 cup = 0
Milk 1 cup = 130


Lunch:

Spaghetti with meatsauce = 610
Tossed salad
Dressing 1 tablespoon = 135
Roll = 140
Butter 1 tsp = 24
Applesauce 1/2 cup = 20

Snack:

Pumpkin muffin = 60
Strawberries 1/2 cup fresh = 0

Dinner:

Pork chop 4 oz. = 470
Corn 15 1/2 oz. = 70
Ketchup salt free 1 tablespoon = 5

Snack:

2 SF Fudsicles = 30
2 Slices of diet wheat bread = 240
1 wheat engish muffin = 180
Butter 2 tablespoons = 220


Total for the day of sodium = 2399 I thought I was over by 140 but I wasn't. But I was still higher then any day this week. That isn't good but it is still a lot better then I was doing last week. I was getting double or more of what I should be having. I am not going to stress about it. I am just going to have less carbs tomorrow is all.

I did 30 min of stepping on my own and drank 64+ oz of water today

Tuesday menu
 

Well I may have to change this but here is a rough draft....

Breakfast- 1 egg 65 mg sodium
2 slices bacon (low sodium) 180 mg

snack- nectarine 0mg

lunch- 1 squash 0mg
1 lean ground beef pattie 65mg
can of no salt added green beans 15mg

snack- rasberries 1/2 cup

supper- At the mother in laws... It is ALWAYS low sodium!!! She has had high blood pressure the last few years and doesnt add salt to ANYTHING!! By the way.... SHE LOVES that I am watching my salt :lol: So needless to say I Wont have a problem;)

Okay here is my menu for the day.

I didn't do very well because I had a brownie sundea today. I know we weren't supposed to have any junk today but I have been putting it off long enough. I am finding that eating very low sodium doesn't satisfy me because it doesn't taste as good to me.

Breakfast:

Oatmeal 1/2 cup = 0
Milk 1/2 cup skim = 130
egg = 65

Snack:

Bannana = 1

Lunch:

Spaghetti with sauce very low sodium sauce = 300
Rolls 2 = 280
Butter 1 tablespoon = 110
Tossed salad = 0
Dressing 1 tablespoon = 135


This was a much better choice then the club sandwich or the bacon cheese burger and fries that I really wanted.

Dinner:

Homemade stew
Broth made from the steak 2 1/2 cups = 50


Brownie sundea ?


Total without the sundea for the day = 1071


So there is no way I went over for the day being this low I can't imagine. But I have that out of my sytem now.

I am home now for the rest of the week for all meals so it will be easier. I am going to eat a little more good sodium so that I don't sabatoge myself because I am not satisfied with the food I eat. So my numbers will be higher for the next couple of days but at least it will be a healthy choice. As long as I don't go over I am not going to worry too much about it. I think I will have a sandwich tomorrow. But I have to get some fresh bread. I will use the diet wheat because it is for 2 slices so the sodium will be lower for the bread versus the regular wheat. And I will probably have tuna fish with the lite mayo. I have as single serve can of tuna so that is easier to count instead of trying to measure it out.

Have a great day.

I also had 64+ oz of water no exercise

well tonight shoudl be interesting... I am going out of town after supper with my dad and kids so we will see if I can find low sodium choices for breakfast somwhere..surely I can.... Have a great day everyone!!!

Hey there,

I didn't do good today either because I ended up having a 3 musketeers bar. Starting tomorrow I am back to counting the WW points so that I can stay in the range of food that I should be having. Even though I am very low in sodium I was still over in the amount of food I should be having in a day. So I am going to work on that along with the salt and sugars. This will keep my carbs down also which I need to do for me in order to lose. So I did end up very low in sodium but not good because of the candybar. But I drank an extra 32 oz of water today also.


Wednesday Menu:


Breakfast:

Egg = 65
Milk 1 cup skim = 130
Raisen Bran 1 cup = 350


Lunch:

2 chicken nuggets = 180
Some Fries just a few = 67 1/2
Pumpkin muffin = 60


Snack:

Fruit bar = 120


Dinner:

Chicken 3 oz. = 63
Potatoes on the grill = 2 cups = 14
Corn 1 cup no salt added kind = 0


3 musketeer bar.

Total sodium for the day before the candy bar is 1049 1/2. So I know I am still under the 2400 mg for the day. So I ended up doing great. But still eating too much I think to lose.

I didn't do any exercise today but I have drank 96 oz. of water today


I am going to start counting the points tomorrow to keep me on the right track for the portion control. I have been weighing everything but still eating too much I think. If I was counting today I wouldn't have had the 2 cups of potatoes at dinner. So that would have been better.
