Man, I was starving yesterday. My bf didn't get home until around 8:00, so I had a really late dinner, and I think I snacked a little much while waiting for him.
i kind of slacked last night- had the boy and girl over for dinner- lf turkey sausage, sun dried tomatos, capers, and garlic in a butter/olive oil/fish suace/white wine reduction served over whole wheat pasta w parm. eek. i was very conservative with the butter though. also garlic bread (made w brummel and brown) and roasted asparagus and cherry tomatoes. AND 3 glasses of wine while i was cooking . had a gin amd tonic after dinner and decided that it was a fine idea to go out for ice cream so add one small lemon cheesecake ice cream to that list (4 oz). was barely under on water goal- had the last few gulps on the way to work today.
today:
breakfast-
16 oz coffee with splash 1/2 & 1/2
hummus with leftover flatbread

Oh man, I'm behind. Let's see if I can remember what I ate the past couple days.
Friday:
B - Kellogg's smart start w/skim milk and blueberries
(workout)
S - Dannon fruit at the bottom yogurt
L - Lean Cuisine (I forget what kind)
S - I don't remember, but I bet I had a glass of milk and a slice of bread.
D - My bf's chili over elbow macaroni (ground turkey, bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, pasta sauce, BBQ sauce, ketchup, and who knows what else he puts in there)
I don't remember eating anything else Friday, but I might have had something.
Saturday:
B - blueberry buttermilk pancakes (I added 2 tbsp flaxseed meal to the batter) (I had about three 4-inch pancakes) with Log Cabin Lite syrup and a glass of milk
L - a few strawberries and a salad of tatsoi (we went to a farmer's market) with 1 tbsp homemade balsamic vinagrette
S - half a thing of pretzel stix from Auntie Anne's in the mall
S - more strawberries
D - delivery Chinese food (my one "eating out" meal of the week): some white rice, kung pao three delights (mostly carrots and celery, some chicken and beef), and chicken with snowpeas (heavy on the snow peas, easy on the chicken), 2 fortune cookies, and two steamed dumplings (I have no idea what sort of meat was in the filling). I actually ate way less than I normally do, so I was proud of myself, even though I know the food is bad for me. I only had one plateful and I really loaded up on the snow peas.
Today (so far):
B - Kellogg's smart start w/skim milk and blueberries
(workout)
L - leftover chinese food (less than one plateful, and I use salad plates for everyday eating)
S - slice of harvest multigrain bread and about a cup of cherries
D (planned) - baked salmon with green beans and potatoes, and another tatsoi salad
I'll probably have another slice of bread sometime today too. I am such a bread addict.
. had a gin amd tonic after dinner and decided that it was a fine idea to go out for ice cream so add one small lemon cheesecake ice cream to that list (4 oz). was barely under on water goal- had the last few gulps on the way to work today.
This is about HALF of what I would normally eat at this restaurant and I'm still shocked at how many calories were in this meal and how stuffed I felt afterward.
