Daily food Monday Dec. 20

Edited by mamma22boys - 20 Dec 2010 at 4:32pm

Would anyone participate putting like a monthly photo up of your progress?  I would never do it anywhere but here, but I find that super motivating. With measurements or something?  Is that allowed, and would people do it?  If so I'd be in!

I have done okay so far--made myself too busy this morning/afternoon for "real" food and ended up at Wendy's drive through (which is just too tempting since I have a gift card--come on, it's like FREE FOOD! lol). Anyway, got a jr. cheeseburger deluxe (so there's SOME veggie w/the tomato and lettuce and pickles) and fries. I know, fries totally don't count if they're not home made.

But for dinner we just had squash soup and spinach w/butter and cream cheese. YUM!

DD and I made meringue cookies today, so I'll be having at least a couple of them later. But then I'll have some cereal w/pomegranate and milk and maybe a clementine as well.

Today was not so good...agh! 
B- 2 eggs and a piece of sourdough toast and an orange
S-a handful of carmel corn and a cinnamon bun
L-squash and chili, an orange and yogurt
S-3 or 4 handfulls of nuts n bolts, a mint chocolate and some carmel corn
supper- a pork chop w/gravy, a small helping of potatoes, applesauce and a big serving of apple/raisin/celery/cheese/walnut salad
snack...AGAIN!?! agh!  2 handfuls of nuts and bolts and a white chocolate lindor "ball"

and....no exercise....
I worked today and everyone is bringing in Christmas goodies...then my DH brought home a bag of goodies from work too...so bad!! tomorrow will be busy though...less time to eat I hope?! ( I was bored at work!)

I just wanted to add Morgan I should have looked for you earlier as your list of food for the day totally made me feel guilty about sitting here eating chips and dip.  Okay I am getting up and putting them away and grabbing a banana.  We have very little junk food anymore but DH left his chips and dip here when he left for his trip. 

Tomorrow my BFF and I are getting together to do Xmas baking so you can about imagine how that will go.  I did lose 1 lb as of yesterday though.  You are not supposed to weigh yourself everyday but, it keeps me motivated

Tuesday Food Journal:

Breakfast-string cheese stick, 1 c. Special K w/berries, 1 c. fruit
Lunch-Paradise Chicken Salad from AppleBee's and a handful of fries-they are sooooo yummy!
And about 6 M&M's, they didn't really taste that great, weird.
Supper-Beef Stew leftovers
Dessert-mini Blizzard

Fruit- 1 2 3 4 5
Veggies- 1 2 3 4 5
Waters- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Exercise: walking, I parked a ways from the door so I had to walk across the parking lot.  And I walked *briskly* in the parking lot and in the stores, as much as I could :P  Not great, but at least it's something.

morgan, i say get the ice cream- the real deal, because the ww has icky stuff in it i think (artificial to make no calories taste good) and just scoop out a small thing- i put my ice cream now in 4-6 oz ramekins! when it's gone it's gone. and if i have more later, i make sure to still use the small size and not fill it :)

yesterday was ok.
breakfast was gingerbread cake- not the greatest start...
lunch was a turkey, roasted red pepper and goat cheese panini with some chips and an apple
snack was a cookie my step mom made and sent us
dinner was squash and lentil soup with sourdough bread and bell pepper slices

today breakfast was 1 egg, cheddar cheese on a whole wheat english muffin
we are going out to lunch at a greek place and i am going to have greek salad with chicken on it- probably high cal with the feta, dressing, etc. (plus i always eat pita there..) but it has lots of veg and chicken and chickpeas!
i am having a friend over for cookie baking day- yikes! i think i will probably eat cookies for snack/dinner and just round it out with some veggies and cottage cheese because i know i willl sample at least one or two of each kind of cookie.

Morgan-  I agree get the real ice cream..  - use a smaller dish and add some granola or fruit to the ice cream.

Jumping in! I am trying to keep f/v my focus!

Dude, Applebees fries are the best. No way would I turn those down. Good job on the ice cream!

good job resisting temptation on the ice cream morgan.  I couldn't pass up french fries either

B--meringue cookies
L--jr. roast beef w/lettuce and tomato; mozz. sticks and soda from Arbys
D--2 pears so far

i dont know what kind you have but here is the ingredient list from the dulce de leche ice cream (i wanted to see vanilla but it wasn't on there)
skim milk, sugar, caramel swirl [corn syrup, sugar, water, sweetened condensed skim milk (condensed skim milk, sugar), modified corn starch, salt, soy lecithin, xanthan gum, caramel color] corn syrup, polydextrose, whey protein, cream, calcium carbonate, Inulin (Dietary Fiber), Propylene Glycol Monostearate, microcrystalline cellulose, caramel color, Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, guar gum, monoglycerides, sorbitol, carob bean gum, citric acid, vitamin A palmitate, carrageenan, natural and artificial flavor, salt 

i usually stick to breyers of haagen dasz because they have mostly milk, cream, sugar, eggs and then whatever flavoring. and usually i stick to basics, like mint, coffee, strawberry, because they have no weird stuff. but if you get into the crazy breyers flavos of course they do have more. breyers mint and vanilla and stuff really only has about 130-160 calories also!

B- Chai tea with milk
L- string cheese, sweet potato fries
Snack- pretzels. Dr. P
D- Masaman Curry, Ginger Chicken stir fry, spring rolls, rice

Saved up all my calories for dinner since we went out.  Lots of veggies for dinner.
No exercise- Spent the day in a funk, still not at peace with dd weaning the way she is.

breakfast- 2 eggs scrambled, 1 pb cookie
snack- 2 chocolate chip cookies, 2 russian tea cakes, 1 frostred sugar cookie
lunch- veggies and pita with hummus
dinner- turkey meatloaf, cole slaw, mashed potatoes, peas

i vow to try to not eat any more cookies today! i kinda want to make molasses since they're the last kind i *need* to make, but then i am definitely going to be eating dough and cookies lol.
