I weighed 153 this morning. It has to be all this extra housework! LOL
Today I'm having/have had:
B: Just under 1.5 cups Hot chocolate 250 calories, 1 1/2 egg whites (would've been 3 but my lil girl really wanted some of what I was having) 26 calories, 1 slice whole wheat bread 50 calories, 1/2 tablespoon low-cal mayo 18 calories, slice of reduced fat all natural cheddar 60 calories
S: Apple (if I can stomach it, it's hard for me to eat in the morning 'cause of the meds I take after breakfast)
L: Leftover chicken breast (it's 1/2 a breast though...2.5 ounces maybe?) w/ mushroom sauce, salad w/ 2 tablespoon Newman's light raspberry vinagrette.
There is talk that mom may be released either today or the first part of the week so I am really happy about that!
I am starting to feel like things are calming down. I look forward to nice drops on the scale as my body lets go of the stress it's been holding onto for a week now. I am also looking forward to my new internet connection at home and being able to check back in tonight too!
My eats are good for today:
Breaky: greekyogurt w kashi go lean, gbar, string cheese, apple = 490
lunch: 4.5 oz chicken, stir fry veggies, 1/2 serv of couscous = 395
Snack: string cheese, apple = 160
Supper: garlic shrimp w steamed green and yellow beans = trying to stay under 300ish
katy - Oh dear! Get back up on that wagon and forget about the little fail last night. We all have those days.
LittleL - HaHa! I love oatmeal! It is so filling and satisfying. Love it with some natural peanut butter ans chopped banana AND TOM IS EVIL! Perhaps try and stay away from the scale for a few days.
Diana - Awww thanks, that's very sweet You girls have been a huge inspiration to me too.
dallas - Kale chips are awesome! And sooo easy to make. I chop them up into bite sized pieces, toss them with garlic, EVOO, salt & pepper then bake in the oven at about 400F until they are crunchy (but not brown). Delicious!
Pint Sized - Hiya - apples are a great snack, that satisfy my crunchy and sweet craving!
roxanne - Wow, so busy. Sounds like you deserve a long soak in a hot tub!
library - I think you made a good decision coming at it from a few different angles. I know he will listen to you that way
nicole - I'm cheering you on! You can do it! Someone stole your dog out of your back yard?? That's awful I hope you find him soon
krampus - Enjoy your mountain climb! It sounds like a lot of hard work but also a lot of fun! Enjoy!
Mama - Hiya Little exercise is better than no exercise!
Vixsin - Yay! Glad to hear your mum will released soon. Awesome!
Last night we did eat in again. I made Spaghetti Bolgenese with whole wheat pasta (sauce was homemade out of tomatoes, lot's of different veggies and spices - "meat" was crumbled tempeh and chopped mushrooms).
Another busy day for me today. Have to leave work early for a wedding tonight so trying to cram what I can in this morning. I am also on a United Way committe in our office and we had our kick-off meeting this morning so I have been away from said work all morning!
Here is my plan for the day Fri 10/15/2010
B - 1 WW whole wheat bagel with vegan cream "cheese" + 1 tofu dessert type thing + a few strawberries
S - 1 cup raw broccoli w/ hummus
L - Veggie sandwich on multigrain bread w/ a side salad
S - 1 banana + 5 triscuits
D - Not sure yet - will be at a wedding
Drinking: At least 2 cups green tea + 2L water + some alcoholic drinks at the wedding reception
Ahh CRAP! Well, lunch had me off plan BIG TIME. I had to drive into town to pick up medical records about the car accident. That left me a little anxious. Hubby went with me so he could check on his truck, that is STILL in the shop. It ended up taking too long at the hospital, so we couldn't do the truck stuff, AND hubby hadn't had lunch and had an appointment, so he asked to go to a sandwich place. I told him I was fine, and I had lunch waiting for me at home. He got back in the car with his sandwich AND a second one for me, because he "knew" I would get hungry. My stomach was GROWLING. He ate his in the car while I drove. It just smelled too good, and booooy did he point that out, LOL. As soon as I walked through the door I ate enough sandwich that, even if I don't eat a morsel the rest of the day, I'm still over budget a good 200 calories. Not to mention the sodium. And it wasn't even that good. It tasted like... bread-grease-salt. UGH!!!!!!!
LittleL - HaHa! I love oatmeal! It is so filling and satisfying. Love it with some natural peanut butter ans chopped banana AND TOM IS EVIL! Perhaps try and stay away from the scale for a few days.
LOL - you're TOO funny! I love the drooling smiley! I will have to try some PB and banana in mine. That sounds SO good!!! Yeah TOM is evil! I've been waiting all week and just cramps and weight gain. I feel all bloated and crappy....took some Midol, maybe that will help, but "he" hasn't arrived YET! Seriously? Just annoying me at this point, lol. Yep, staying away from the scale til next week!
Life has been hectic and so has the diet Been completely off plan for a few days now. Hopefully I haven't done too much damage- TOM hasn't left yet, so I haven't got an accurate weight. I had every intention of staying OP yesterday, but after taking my hubby to the ER, we were starving. We were jogging (ok, he jogged for several laps and I jogged 1 lap, lol) when he stopped because his left arm went numb. Being a red flag for a heart attack, I got him to come inside and sit down. The numbness got better and I gave him an aspirin. Then the numbness came back. I wanted to take him to the doctor's office because his father had several heart attacks and died of congestive heart failure at the young age of 54. I know he is only 33, but wanted to know if this was an early warning sign of a heart problem. Called the doctor's office and they said to take him to the ER immediately. So I dragged him kicking and screaming and guess what- he is completely fine. He probably just pinched a nerve working out. But after sitting in the hospital for a long time without my diet shakes, we both caved in to the nearby chinese buffet... sighhhhhh. Oh well, all I can do is get back on track. I've only worked out twice this week. At least with all of this and TOM, I still haven't seen the big bad "2" pop up on the scale.
Anyway, here was my day:
Mocha shake
Chicken Creole entree with avocado
Hummus with celery
BBQ Chicken entree, with veggie TBD
Shake TBD
Raven: I am so glad that hubbywonderful is going to be just fine. Maybe he wanted some drama for the day. Don't be too hard on yourself for not sticking to plan. The ER causes some pretty big stress. It's understandable. Glad to hear that you still haven't seen the "2"!!
Lindsay: I hear you about TOM!!! I'll be happy to rough him up for ya. LOL
Pint Size: Stay strong. You'll get past that sandwich.
Lauren: Great number on the scale today, girl!!! Have a great time dancing with that new bod at the wedding!!!! Cant wait to hear about it.
I went ahead and had *some* dinner. Definitely not a full portion and filled up on salad instead. I still ended up far over 2000 calories, but I spent an hour and a half in the tub tonight thinking. I used to eat close to 2000 calories in one sitting... every day. Sometimes more than once a day. Today isn't going to hit a reset switch or something. I'm not going to drown my sorrows in the other sandwich or anything else in my kitchen. I don't even have the inclination to. In fact, out of sheer habit, I wandered into the kitchen, not hungry, and started rummaging for something to eat. Nothing appealed to me. I didn't FEEL like eating. This is very very big for me. Probably the first time I haven't let boredom, stress or a bad day throw me mouth-first into a box of Oreos. I feel quite happy about this little epiphany.
The only exercise I did was a brisk 20 minute walk. My allergies are soo bad right now, even the dogs set me off when they come from outside, so I'm going to have to keep the outside stuff to a minimum. The gym isn't much better, but it's better than being outside, so I'll be hitting that up until I clear up.
I have a child's b-day party at a pizza place tomorrow. We're having lunch before heading down. Thankfully it's not until 1, so that gives us plenty of time to eat healthy!

Breakfast (365 Calories + coffee)

high fiber English muffin 100 cal
1 teaspoon jam 20 calories
coffee w/sugar and cream
juice 75 calories
ciabta roll 170
turkey (1 oz) 30
tomato/onion 10
mayo 20
mustard
apple 60
whole wheat pasta
500
class of wine 100
Total for the day: 1453 cal
I think that this is pretty good because I ran 6 miles today too, so I don't feel like I "cheated". I ran burn 600 calories and then I ate a good amount of food that was probably needed. On top of that, I think it's important to have a glass of wine every once in a while with friends, does this qualify as a mediterrean diet?
Anyway, I guess I don't feel like this is a slip-up. Under 1500 calories is still something that I would consider good, and since I ran 6 miles, I consider this on plan, or am I just making up excuses?
Here is what I plan to eat for tomorrow:
Omlette with veggies 350
apple 60
Leftover pasta 350
apple 60
1/6 digornio pizza 360
salad w/ vinegarette 70
total: 1250
I guess I feel that as long as I stick between 1250-1500 I am doing good, however, for the majority of the time I want to try to get under 1200, that way, when I have days like this, I can make sure I don't go over 1500 and that I don't get fuller faster.
The night just ended. The boys even needed to go to Del Taco and I was the responsible driver after a bunch of water. I managed to stay at the 1453 calorie mark. Having a shin-dig and staying on a cal budget is tough but I did it. I did go over my usual less than 1200 diet, but I stayed under 1500. It's so hard to balance life sometimes.
It has to be all this extra housework! LOL 
for a workout.
AND TOM IS EVIL! Perhaps try and stay away from the scale for a few days.
You girls have been a huge inspiration to me too. 
Someone stole your dog out of your back yard?? That's awful 
I hope you find him soon 
Little exercise is better than no exercise!
I love the drooling smiley! I will have to try some PB and banana in mine. That sounds SO good!!! 
Have a great time dancing with that new bod at the wedding!!!!
