Day 176



Day 175

Day 174

Breakfast (630):  Cinnamon Raisin Muffin with 1.5oz turkey and 35g of avocado (265) and a slice of apple too!

Snack (1000 - 1200):  Rest of the apple (80) and a string cheese (80)

Lunch (245): New Meal!  Chicken with a cranberry apple stuffing. . (410) also has quinoa and mash sweet potato.  And I added a cup of spinach.  I reeeeeaallly liked the stuffing and the chicken.  The quinoa and potatoes are good too.  My only (little) complain is that they used splenda in the cranberry sauce and I could taste it.  In fact, I tasted the after taste and then went to check if it really had Splenda!  Maybe I'm just super-sensitive to it though...  Would like to get this one again.  It's heavier on the carbs, but still under 60g for the meal (52g).

Snack (345):  Munchy today.  Cauliflower with a TBS of artichoke dip (15+80).

Snack (500):  Steamed artichoke medium (60) with lemon juice and 25 cal of shedd's spread, most of which stayed in the cup with the leftover lemon juice. 

Dinner (630):  Meeting from 7 until... 9? Ugh.  Maybe I'll take a muffin sandwich, because there's no way I can eat before 7 (too full now) and I don't want to wait until 930.  :(  What to do?  I ended up making a turkey/apple/avocado muffin to take with and I took some raw cauliflower too.  Before I left, I had an english muffin half with a tsp of tomato sauce, .3oz of mozarella, .5oz ham chopped up, and a tiny bit of cheddar cheese.  Toasted in the toaster oven and topped with a cherry tomato.  (110cal).  A little mini pizza!  Leaving for meeting...

(1000PM):  Didn't get hungry until the end of the meeting, so I chomped on a couple of florets of cauliflower and saved the sandwich for tomorrow.  Concerned about eating too few calories and screwing up the losing... I made another little pizza, but different.  I mixed 1TBS of artichoke dip with a slice of chopped ham, spread on a corn tortilla and toasted.  Topped with a chiffonade of spinach and a chopped cherry tomato and toasted some more...  Finished with a few thin slices of mushroom.  Pretty darn good -- I forgot how good corn tortillas taste when they get all toasted and crispy on the edges! Yum! (150)

Daily Total: 1260

Day 173

Called this morning to resume BMD deliveries. I haven't gotten a box in 5 weeks! I expect the next box to arrive on Feb 6 or so... My freezer is finally nearly empty!

Breakfast (630):  Cinnamon Sweet Potato Pancakes (320)

Snack (1100-1200):  Banana (100) and 11 pistachios (40)

Lunch (200PM):  Pork Tenderloin in asian plum sauce with veggies (450)

Snack (530PM):  135g of raw caluliflower (35), 1 Corn Thin (20), 1oz of artichoke dip (80).  Stopped at the grocery store for apples, ham, turkey, spinach, avocado and tomatoes.  I was pretty hungry, but my only impulse buy was a head of cauliflower!  :D

Dinner (710): Pork with olive tapenade (320).  Didn't like this much last time, so it needed some tweaking this time... Removed the olive tapenade completely (30g of olives = -50cal).  Added 2 cups of spinach, 115g of cherry tomatoes (22cal), lemon juice, red pepper flakes, onion and black pepper.  Much better this time, even if the pork did have a olive-briney taste to it. 

Daily Total:  1340

Day 174

Breakfast (830):  Wheat english muffin (140), 1 oz of ham (35), 0.5 oz of ham (60).

Snack (1200): String Cheese (80) and pretzels (50).  Friend made persimmon-nut bread... had half a slice. estimate 100cal?  Only ate half the pretzels because of the bread offered.  Did eat a couple more, but didn't finish because I didn't feel like eating them!

Lunch (200): Salmon with rice, spinach, cranberries, almonds (435) and LOTS of lemon juice.

Dinner(615PM):  Ham and Turkey DInner with couscous and butternut puree. (400) I added 1/2 cup of fresh spinach (last of the bag) and 4 chopped dried cranberries.  Ate 70% before rehearsal.  Hungry when I got home at 10, ate the last couple of bites of meat and puree, but left the last bit of couscous.

Daily Total: 1300

Day 173

Breakfast(830):  Cinnamon English Muffin with Turkey, Avocado, Apple and coffee.

Meeting from 9-3

Lunch Provided (1245):  1 piece of veggie quiche, 1 serving of salad with feta, cranberries, avocado, no roll, 1 serving of peach cobbler, 1 lemon bar (oops).

Didn't get hungry at all until about 500 or 530, but I was going out to dinner with friends, so I toughed it out...

715: Long Island Ice Tea

830: Vodka Tonic.  Dinner at Mexican place. I've been craving mexican, but happily decided to spend my calories on acohol tonight (not nutritionally sound, but it's not a habit!) Plus, nothing on the menu looked worth the calories!  Ordered the salad with lettuce, roasted chicken, tomato, red pepper, corn, avocado (a bit), jack cheese (too much, but not ridiculous - one oz), and a few tortilla chip strips (totalled 1 chip!).  No dressing, no sour cream.  I also ate NO tortilla chips before dinner arrived.  Actually, I ate no tortilla chips at all!!  This is absolutely unheard of for me, but it wasn't difficult at all!  Helped that I was with people, I tend to eat better around others, but I didn't really feel like I wanted any chips.  End of meal, the waiter brought us free shots of tequila.  Shot one, was supposed to share half of another, but didn't.

915: Vodka TOnic

1030: Shared a piece of bakery cake that had chocolate cake layered with chocolate ganache.  Stopped before the cake was gone when I was satisfied with the taste.  Again, pretty unheard of!  Also, there was no post-drinking stop at JackInTheBox tonight.  And from place to place, we ended up walking about a mile and a half.

Daily Total??  Tried my best to estimate on another website, came up with 1921cal, so let's just call it an even 2000!  Not too shabby considering!  And pretty much worth it -- I had a great time!   Made conscious choices to indulge and will be right back on track tomorrow!  I can't decide whether or not to weigh myself in the morning.  I'd like to see what the damage from today is, just out of curiousity, but I also know the "number" can tweak me out... ???

Weigh In

Weighed in last week at 237, did well this week and expected to see 235.  The scale read 233lb.  Really!  A 4 lb loss!  So totally jazzed and exactly the motivation I need to keep me back on track after December.  Had a great time out with friends Saturday night and got some really nice comments from people about having lost weight.  And I realized when I got carded last night that I actually weigh what it says on my driver's license!! I'm in the zone this week!  :D

Day 172

Breakfast (630AM):  Cinnamon English Muffin (160), 1.5oz of turkey (45), 40 cal of avocado, slice of apple.

Snack (1100): Pumpkin Flax Muffin (115)

Snack (300): COrn Thin (20) with a TBS of artichoke dip (exactly 28g!) (80).  Waited too long for lunch - had a snack while I waited for meal to cook.  ugh!

Lunch (315): Skinny Turkey Spinach Meatloaf (430) with a cup of raw spinach, steamed.  By 5PM, I still feel stuffed -- really full!

DInner (640PM): Irish Style Chicken Sausage with mash potatoes, tomato sauce, and vegetables. (280)  New meal to me.  Tastes like the same chicken sausage from the german style sausage meal.  I liked this "irish" meal loads better.  I thought it was decent.  The tomato sauce was really more like a thin brown gravy - not tomato-y at all.  It smelled odd, but tasted fine.  Overall, I liked it more than I thought I would!  I added 1/3 cup of peas (35) and a few green beans.

ummm... odd looking.

That's better! :D

Snack (730):  Steamed artichoke (55) with 1/2 TBS of shedd's spread (25), melted, and a TS of lemon juice.  I always eat artichokes with melted butter, wasn't sure what to even use... but surprisingly, I liked the lemon flavor better than the butter.  I think straight lemon would be too much, but I would definitely rather add a little butter to a lot of lemon next time (instead of a little lemon to a lot of butter!).

(830): Lil Drum (135)

Daily Total: 1430

Day 171

Woke up hecka late, had 10 minutes to get dressed and out the door in order to make it to class on time.  Five minutes late to most jobs isn't a huge deal, but as a teacher, even a minute late ruins the whole hour!   Grabbed a BMD breakfast that I found in the freezer last night - Spinach Mushroom Omelet (240cal).  Didn't get to breakfast until around 945AM.  I've missed the sweet potatoes, but the omelet egg is worse than I remembered!  Even with the sauce. 

Snack (1200PM): String Cheese (80)

Lunch (230PM): Chicken with lentils and rice. (260). 

Snack (415): One slice of 12 grain bread (110) with 1/3 serving of peanut butter (60) with half a serving of jam (25)  and 100cal of popcorn with 50cal of almonds.

Dinner(715PM): Hacked another Roast Turkey with Onion Jam? Meal.  Have a few to use up, since I never ate it cause I hated most of it!  5.5oz (raw) potato (125) with 3 oz of turkey roast breast (125) with 3 cups of spinach, 5 cherry tomatoes, broccoli basil and lemon juice. (40)

Snack (830PM): Lil Drum 135

Daily Total: 1350

Day 170

Breakfast (730AM):  Wheat english muffin (140) with 1 oz of ham (30), half an oz of cheddar (60)

SNack (10-12):  String Cheese (80) and Pumpkin Muffin (110)

Snack (215): Half of a lemon cupcake (150)

Lunch (400):  Hacked a turkey/broccoli souffle/root veggie meal = 4.4 oz baked potato (125), 3 oz of turkey breast(115), spinach, tomato, broccoli, green beans = 40, lemon juice, LOTs of lemon juice (1/3 of a lemon's worth!)  Ironically, this is turning into one of my favorite meals!  Good thing since I have 2 more in the freezer! 

Dinner:  I was "that" girl tonight, the one I swore I'd never be, the one who brings her own meal to a get together...  A couple of friends were getting together at one's house to eat pizza.  I've had such trouble over the last 6 weeks and I finally feel like last week and this week are going well.  Eating the pizza wasn't worth seeing the weight on the scale stall out.  So, I brought my own BMD meal.  I still felt weird about it, even though these are really close friends.  I wasn't embarrassed and I didn't feel deprived (surprisingly), but it did seem a little rude.  Oh well.  I had chicken stuffed with spinach with peas, gravy, corn and asparagus (340).  I did partake in dessert, we had mochi.  Ice cream wrapped in... I dunno, some sort of dough?  There were a number of varieties.  Each little mochi was 100-130 cal.  I had halves of a few and I didn't eat the dough on all.  I'd estimate 300cal and that might be a bit high.  All in all, a successful night.

Snack (1000AM):  Friends brought back a donut from Voodoo donuts in Portland.  Ate 75% of it... (375? Normal raised chocolate donut = 225 and 2 oreos = 100 plus a little more frosting than a normal donut...)

Lunch (130PM):  Hacked a leftover Roasted Turkey with broccoli souffle and winter veggies.  The only edible part is the turkey.  Baked a 6 oz potato (130cal) and topped with the 3oz of turkey (140), 20 cal of broccoli, a cup of spinach and 5 cherry tomatoes.  Added basil, lemon, salt and pepper.  Yum!   Total about 300.

Snack (330PM): 80cal of pistachios, 80 cal of Cheetos 

Dinner (700):  Arugula Salad!  Maybe I'll finally remember to take a  pic! 
Nope, no pic, forgot the camera.  3 oz skirt steak (150), tomato, arugula, romaine, avocado (35), 20cal of dressing.  Also had half a bakery cupcake - lemon (200) and later a small serving at a yogurt place with chocolate... no idea why I thought I needed to have yogurt too.  Felt bad after eating it and felt too full this morn. :(  (250?)

Daily Total: 1750

Day 167

Breakfast (845AM):  Made a new breakfast sandwich!  I got some cinnamon raisin english muffins (160), toasted one and added 1.5oz of deli turkey (45cal), 40g of avocado (65cal) and a slice of apple ( cal?  dunno, I always just count a whole apple in snacks when I eat the remainder later.)  It was good!  Totaled somewhere between 275 - 300 cal, depending.  Could have used a bit less turkey and still been happy with it.  A little messy cause it was so big and the avocado started to melt, but I will experiment with order next time. I know the cinnamon raisin sounds weird with the avocado, but I love it. I read about it on a site a long time ago and always ate it as a sandwich. This week I realized I could make it breakfast!

Snack (1145AM):  Rest of the Apple (80)

Snack (245PM): Pumpkin Muffin (110)
Lunch (300PM):  Late, forgot about a meeting, would have taken a bigger snack.  But I survived and I realize I didn't even think about stopping on the way home even though I was pretty hungry!  Ate Asian pork with plum bbq sauce. (450)  Pretty good!  The rice noodles get overcooked, but eh, whatever. Overall still good!  Added like 5 almonds (35) chopped up.

Snack (400PM): Lil Drum (130)
Snack (600PM): meeting from 7-9, not hungry now, but won't make it until 9, so... corn tortilla (55), 1 TBS of artichoke dip (80) and one ounce of turkey (30)  Total = 165

Dinner (945PM):  Not hungry enough for a full BMD meal.  Stopped and got a Chicken Fajita Pita with no cheese (and no onions, though that wasn't requested!)  Basically the chicken, pita and tomatoes which total 215cal.  I added it to a bunch of leaf lettuce, a few cherry tomatoes, 40 cal of avocado and a 10cal of fat free sour cream.  Very satisfying!

Ate one serving of Cheetos spread over the whole evening. (160cal) And 50cal of M&Ms

Daily Total: 1705

WeighIn

So I weighed in last Saturday at 238.5 and promptly ate a ****-load of crappy food.  That bumped me up to 243 by Tuesday morning. :(  But today, I weighed in at 237!!  Ate well the rest of the week and drank a TON of water.  Ate pretty well today -- too much "tasting" as I was baking, but not ridiculous.  It's not like I ate a bag of Fritos... again.  :0  Feeling pretty good and ready to attack another week.  It's so much easier to be motivated when you're on a downward trend! 

Aside:  I was noticing how colorful the pics of my meals were this week, so just for kicks I made a list of all the fruits and veggies I ate this week, Mon - Sat....  Apple, Arugula, Avocado, Baby carrot, Blueberry, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Butternut squash, Cauliflower, Cranberries, Green bean, Lemon, Mushroom, Pearl onions, Peas, Pineapple, Potato, Pumpkin, Red pepper, Rutabaga, Spinach, Sweet potato, Strawberry, Tomato, Water chestnut... whew.  That's quite a change from before when baked potato was my number one veggie!  I liked veggies, I just never made them.  I like this list!  With a few exceptions, it's also very seasonal - winter veggies.  I like the idea of eating with seasons!

Day 166

Breakfast (830AM):  BMD Omelet with veggie sausage and peaches (240) turned into breakfast tacos, saved peaches for later and ate 3/5 of eggs.  New = 365cal

Snack (1200pm):  Memorial service at church - Reception = caliuflower, cucumber, tomato, strawberry, pineapple (so good! better than the strawberry!), one 3/4 inch slice of a turkey wrap, one quarter of a turkey tea sandwich, (est 150 cal)

Lunch (145PM):  Ham and Turkey Dinner (400) add cup of spinach and a few craisins (20)

Snack (500PM): Corn THin (22) with a TBS of artichoke Parm dip (50),  40cal = small piece of banana with a tsp of peanut butter.  And a pumpkin flax muffin baked today (115)

Dinner (700pm): Pineapple Teriyaki Turkey Meatloaf  (260) - Didn't like this very much the first time I had it.  The teriyaki flavor is not strong at all.  The pinapple and jalepeno come through though.  I crisped the meatloaf up in the toaster and added some roasted baby carrots (50).  I also had some tomatoes to use up quick, so I chopped them up and added them to the pinapple/jalepeno sauce and microwaved to soften the tomato (35).  I added pepper, a bit of salt and a BIG squeeze of lemon juice.  so. freaking. good.  I ate it with the turkey and the quinoa.  yum!

Daily Total: 1507

Day 165

On track...

So, I still don't like the Arroz con Pollo much, but it's not as bad as I remember... especially with extra avocado and tomato.  It's just a really HIGH calorie count for the taste.  Dinner was salisbury steak meatloaf - always better after a crisping in the toaster oven and I added roasted brussles sprouts.  First time roasting from frozen!


Not the most attractive meal...



Look at those sprouts! :D

Day 164

New meal for dinner!  Pork Loin with Apple Cider Gravy - Lost the packing, so no pic of nutrition panel.  It was good!  I added 50 cal of roasted baby carrots. 

Day 163

Breakfast (630AM): Three Krusteaz MultiGrain Blueberry Pancakes (200), a Morningstar Veggie sausage (80) and 1/3 cup of frozen blueberries (30)

Snack (900 - 1000):  String Cheese (80) and 1 oz of deli ham (30)

Snack (500): Slice of 12 grain bread (110) with 2 oz of turkey (75) and 40 cal of cranberry sauce

Dinner (730PM): New meal!  Came awhile back, but it has been buried in the freezer!  Pot Roast with Mushroom Peppercorn Gravy, Spinach Mashed Potatoes, and Roasted Root Veggies (340)  Meat and gravy were good.  THe gravy was a bit think.  The roasted root veggies were great - carrot, rutabaga, butternut squash.  The spinach mashed potatoes were good, if small!  Added 1/2 cup of green beans (15?)

Out of microwave...

Color!! -- Added tomato and green beans.

Daily Total: 1540

Day 162

Okay, but not great...

Munchy at night - Ate a small potato (50) with a BUNCH of spinach (well, not really a whole bunch, but a lot...) and a half a tomato.

Day 161

Still a bit out of control in the afternoon, but I didn't eat any bread with dinner at the restaurant.  I also skipped the salad dressing and the alcoholic beverage...

I can tell that I ate too much in a day when I can't screen-cap the entire list into one picture... :(

Day 159-160

The weekend that was not... (i wish.)  Didn't track at all, but I know that, among other things, I ate 4 medium-sized baked potatoes and a bag of fritos (not together though!).  I had a can of chili.  I polished off some leftover peanut M&Ms. (maybe 2 small bags worth)  I ate a bag of baked Kettle chips.  Had a PBJ, a ham and cheese (velveeta, eww. I wish I didn't love it so much!), and a turkey sandwich.  Can't think of any veggies... none.  Oh, some baby carrots!  ugh.  Why do I keep doing this??  I weighed in at 238.5lb Saturday morning.  And I was up to 243 by Tuesday morning... I think I may change my weigh-in day to Sunday morning.  I sort of live for that Sat morn weigh-in.  But then I have ALL weekend to compensate and go overboard.  Saturday's the hard day - home all day and out at night.  Maybe if weigh in was Sunday, I'd make better choices.  Couldn't be much worse!

Day 158

Not prepared at all today! 
Breakfast (600AM): Whole Grain English Muffin (120) with .35 oz of cheddar cheese (42) and 2.1 oz of ham(80).  I forgot that I'd run out of apples and I was very sad... :(  (242cal)

Oh, and I forgot to pack any snacks or lunch today... :(  Lame!  I did remember to bring two bottle of water, so that's good.

Lunch (1200PM):  Work stash - Bumble bee fat free tuna salad with 6 wheat crackers (150cal)  Now I wish I hadn't eaten that tomato soup yesterday.  It would have more appreciated today!

I have to stay after today, so I scrouged around my room and car... Boy Scout Motto: Always be prepared!  Managed to find 20 mini pretzels (in a bag! :D), an apple (bit over ripe, ate half), and a bit less than a TBS of peanut butter in a tupperware.  (110+30+80)

Daily total: 612cal + dinner and snack that I forgot to log...

Breakfast (800-1000AM):  Not hungry when I left for school at 545AM!! Also not hungry because I ate a ridiculous amount of food yesterday.  Eventually ate.  I am using up a back log of BMD meals, but I don;t have a backlog of breakfasts... Oatmeal is good, the apple ham muffin is good, but wanted more variety.  I found frozen whole wheat blueberry pancakes (3 for 200cal) and gor some Morningstar veggie sausage patties (1 = 80cal).  Heated up 1/3 cup of frozen blueberries (30cal) to make a sauce.  Yum!  Total = 310cal

Snack (1200PM) = String Cheese = 80cal

Lunch (130PM): Morrocan Chicken with lentils and string beans (330)  I really like this one -- always good!  I never knew I liked lentils so much!

Snack (430): Chicken Fajita Pita (325cal)
(530PM) - 1 oreo cakester (125cal)  My eating habits are so much worse when I stay at my parents house.  First, there's more crappy food around.  Even more are my ingrained habits over the 20 years I lived here... it's such a hard mind-set to break!

Dinner-ish (630PM):  Corn tortilla (55), 90 calories of artichoke dip and 70 cal of deli turkey, mini ice cream cone (135)

Breakfast (830AM) - Berry Crepes with Turkey Sausage (365)

Snack - 150cal of ham, turkey, artichoke dip (bites)

Lunch (130PM) -Pretty hungry.  Jerk Chicken Dinner (370) - new one for me.  Jerk chicken breast with tomato okra stew, brown rice with a few pigeon peas, and a mango chutney.  I didn't really know what to expect, but I loved this meal!  I added 6-7 chopped almonds. (60cal)I tasted a bit and decided to add a cup of spinach, steamed, to the tomato stew.  Then I thought some sweet potato would be good because it was a bit spicy for me.  I have some leftover raw sweet potato slices in the fridge, so I chopped up about 50 g (45cal) and microwaved it, then added to the stew.  This was soooo good!  Was satisfied about half way through.  Thought about saving for later, but finished it.  Now I feel really full.  I spent months learning to even recognize my body's hunger signals.  Now, I need to work on acting on them...

Right out of microwave...

After I chopped chix and added spinach and sweet potato!

Snack (230PM): 11 almonds (85)
Dinner: Hibachi Grill leftovers (1/2 cup rice, 2 oz of beef, veggies) added to two chopped tomatoes, 2 cups spinach, 2/3 cup of broccoli, 1/4 corn, 5 almonds chopped.  Cooked all together and it made a TON of food.  Portioned into a tray - a little under half the total.  Hard to say on calories, but it's mostly veggies!  And totally tasty!

Daily Total: 1075 +?? = 1400?
