Day 228

Got up early and walked for exercise, not just rambling around.  Walked about 1.6 miles.  Then another 2.4 spread over the morning.  I did notice that the amount of walking this weekend didn't kill me like it might normally.  In fact, I really wasn't much tired or sore/stiff at all.  Felt totally fine walking this morn, would have walked farther, but ran out of time.  The 10 miles over the last two days weren't strenuous or anything, but it was still 10 miles...

Breakfast - Sesame Bagel with 1 oz peanutbutter and a banana.

Snack - 1 piece of thin crust pizza


Lunch - Not much to choose from at the airport -- the prepackaged salads and sandwiches had a lot of high calorie add ons, so I just ate at McDonalds... :D  I had a single cheeseburger and I shared a medium french fry.  First time since last August.  It was good, but not amazing...  I can live without.


Dinner - ??? cant remember  I think a small serving of pasta baked iwth spinach and tomato sauce...

Day 226

Out of town this weekend with friends... ate okay, but not great.

Breakfast - normal ham, apple, cheese muffin

Lunch grilled chicken sandwich with french fries.


Snack - scoop of ice cream

DInner - dinner at our favortie restaurant to hang out and drink -- had two Hurricanes with blackened snapper.  Unfortunately, the snapper came with sauteed potatoes with bits of bacon and a lemon/butter sauce.  And no veggies... that really tweaked me out.  I missed them more than I thought I would.



I'm sure they are a few snacky items that I forget about...

Walked about 5 miles today, over the whole day.

Day 225

BReakfast: Turkey Muffin (267)  I feel terrible today... too much crappy food this week, not sure what exactly is to blame, but it's catching up with me.

Snack:  Apple and 11 almonds (150)

Lunch: BBQ Pork (380)

Snack:

Dinner:

I made some of my own frozen meals last night... I purchased fresh cheese tortellini (turned 4.5 servings into 5) and made a sauce with canned diced tomato (nosalt), tomato sauce (no salt), shallot, basil, balsamic vinegar and spinach.  THe canned creatien has sooo much less calories and sugar than the jarred sauce.  Added a serving of frozen green beans.  Totaleds around 340cal for teh meal and I made five to put in the freezer.  Pasta seemed like an easy place to start... looking forward to trying some others.  Hope the freezing works well, thinking about investigating vaccuum sealers.  Total cost each meal was about $2.

Day 223

Breakfast: Turkey Muffin (267)

Snack: String CHeese (80)

Lunch: Salmon with red pepper (220)

Snack:  Students stopped by with pizza, ate one piece (260) and a couple of breadsticks (200), not intending to eat another piece, but did (260)  It was sooo good.  sigh.  On the up side, she also brought DrPepper and was disappointed no one wanted one, so I took one.  Drank a few sips and didn't like it at all.  I used to loooove DrPepper.  It doesn't taste how I remember and the carbonation felt weird.  I switched back to water.

Dinner:  FInished off the leftover dinner from last night (600)?  AND had a lil Drum (140). 

I wasn't real conscious of it, but I think overeating in the afternoon (and pizza) made me more hungry and more anxious to stuff my face with food.  Plus, I;ve been real letahgic the last couple of days and a little light-headed.  Not sure if its the food, allergies, or slightly low blood pressure... ?  Pulse has been oddly low.  Resting is at 60bpm.  Stopped by hospital to get BP taken and it was normal, so... ?

Breakfast (630): Turkey muffin (267)

Snack:  Small Apple (60)

Lunch (1200): Turkey Chipotle Chili (440)

Snack: CornTortilla/Artichoke/Spinach/Tomato pizza (150)

Dinner:  Dinner out at a favorite restaurant with out of town friend.  Ordered my favorite Balsalmic Skirt Steak.  COmes iwth mixed veg and mashed potatoes and an unfortunately large pile of fried onion strings.  I have ordered this many times int he past, though it would have been like 2 years ago... the plate was soo FULL of food!  I don't know if their portions are bigger, my habits are smaller or a combination, but I was shocked!  I would have asked for no fried onions if I'd known there'd be so many -- I ate most of them.  THen I ate about 2oz of the beef, a few bites of potato, and a few veggies and I was full!  So I packed it up to take it home.  I ate another small portion around 9pm, a few bites of each item.  No dessert.  I'm counting half today and half tomorrow and estimating that half was about 600calories.
