Dinner yesterday was at the Chinese Buffet. 2 plates of food consisting of:
-LOTS of green beans
-a small spoon of pineapple chicken
-2 helpings of hot pepper chicken (though I dug around to get more zucchini and peppers than chicken)
-2 crab rangoons
Well, it was cool yesterday, so instead of the turkey dog, I had a bowl of chicken rice soup.
Dinner was chicken salsa stir-fry and teriyaki noodles (each tasted wonderful separately, but it was kinda weird together)
Snacks yesterday= 2 servings of Baked Tostitos and salsa, 1 Skinny Cow, 1 bowl of Optimum Power cereal, and 1 ice pop
Breakfast this morning= oatmeal and 3 slices turkey bacon, decaf w/ creamer
AM snack= yogurt, 5 almonds
Lunch= the turkey dog from yesterday, carrot sticks, apple
PM snack= applesauce, 5 almonds
PS- I searched everywhere for the July thread, and I think it somehow got deleted. I started the 12 week challenge in the challenge forum, so I have paper logs and I think I'll just start over with Fitday. I've been considering installing it on a different computer anyway, since I'm usually "waiting in line" while my husband is using the good computer. Good thing it doesn't need much muscle!
