    Miss Hot Sauce    3/13/2010   Cypress, TX

    Ok, so as I mentioned yesterday  I am trying to get back to a healthy way of living including diet (meaning what you eat not fads) and excercise. I will add, I am not new to this. I've done it before and felt great, its just that since setting the date and booking the venue I don't know what has happened! I just fell off in a big way. Shame on me! So, i am trying to get back to my good habits. So, I figured I'd start this thread where we can share what we eat. When I tracked my food in a food journal I thought it was interesting how my food choices changed the further I got in to my "good habits". I'm always looking for new ideas and maybe we can help some bees also looking to loose weight or pickup some good habits. :)

    This morning I had: 

    bowl of special K red berries with skim milk

    big mug (about 2 cups) of decaf honey chamomile green tea with lemon and NO sweetner

    Lunch:

    Healthy Choice entree (yes I know frozen entrees have lots of sodium so I drink about 10 cups of water or more to offset)

    salad greens with blueberries and shredded asiago cheese w/ lime vinaigrette

    snacks:

    white peach

    cherries

    fat free yogurt

    dinner:

    chicken cutlets

    salad

    ?? (not sure yet what the side will be)

    I'm doing 5 days of protein to break my plateau, so:

     

    (2) eggs, (2) turkey sausages

    (1) chicken breast and leg

    (1) snapper filet

    a few pieces of jerky and (2) egg whites for a snack

    Boo...I want some fruit. But only 2 more days to go!

    @bree72 - I cannot live without my fruit!  Especially blueberries and cherries in the summer. :) I think that is why I do so awful at low-carb diets.

    @Lorienne - What is in an "eggless" egg salad?

    Um, last night dinner ended up being Subway instead of chicken cutlets. My plan to run home and get dinner started was thwarted by my doggies being bad doggies and making a mess for me to clean up. Bad doggies. They are outside today...

    So instead I had subway. Turkey & ham on 7 (9?) grain wheat, couldn't forgo the cheese, but did stick with only fat free honey mustard and no oil & vinegar. Lots of veggies. Baked Lays. And I ended up eating 3 oreos with FI, but according to Ms. Labrador if you're gonna eat something bad for you its best to do it after your workout right?

    Today may not go as well as yesterday:

    Breakfast:

    Special K w/red berries and 1/2 cup skim milk

    green tea w/lemon (no sweetner)

    Lunch:

    salad greens w/blueberries& asiago cheese

    1 tbsp southwestern ranch

    Smart Ones Swedish Meatballs

    Snack:

    Peach

    Fiber one bar

    Dinner:

    Whatever the "complimentary" entree is at the bar we play shuffleboard tonight. If its hot dogs I'm in trouble! NO ALCOHOL tonight. Sealed 

    I am just glad I got some cardio in today. Even though dinner will not be so great, at least I feel like I can offset it a little bit.

    I think that's it. Minus the peach.

    Today -

    B: Special K with 2% milk (out of skim at the store Grrr)

    @ Miss Hot Sauce: I love me some berries too! I've just been avoiding the produce section this week!

    Still on protein:

    Yesterday:

    B: (2) eggs, (2) turkey sausages

    L: (1) snapper filet and a few slices of turkey

    D: (1) 5 ounce filet mignon

    Snacked on some jerky.

    Today:

    B: (1) egg, (2) turkey sausage

    L: a chicken breast and leg

    Snack: a few pieces of jerky, and I'll probably snack on a few egg whites later

    D: Probably some more chicken!

     

    And I drink close to 2 gallons of water every day.

    This is one of the ways I really make sure I stay on track eating right -- making sure I can name (hehe, and that I'm not embarrassed to list) everything I eat in a given day.  Today's easy so far:

    Breakfast: Kashi cereal with skim milk; small OJ and vitamins

    Lunch: Lean pocket

    I have a cooking class tonight with my sister, so I'm saving my splurge calories for the food we'll be preparing!

    @bree72 & AnnieAAA - I am trying to avoid the grocery store this week too! That's why the choices are so sparse. Either way, I find my breakfasts and lunches don't change too often. Usually dinner is the most versatile.

    Those frozen entrees do have a lot of sodium, but for a while I was bringing sandwiches for lunch instead and even with deli turkey, lf cheese, whole wheat bread, mustard only - I was still getting about the same amount of sodium! Sodium is one of my weaker vices when it comes to nutrition. I rarely come in under the 2500 mg recommendation a day.

    @bruschetta - LOL Sharing with the hive what you've eaten is a good way to keep yourself accountable. Even though I ate bad last night, I knew I had to share it or else I'd feel bad for withholding information. LOL

    Today I've done pretty well:

    B: Lowfat string cheese, oatmeal and a non-fate latte

    L: A soy chorizo burrito (only 400 calories) and a pear

    So far I've had 1 liter of green tea.

    But tonight will be a disaster - it's a work event for my husband at an all you can eat Korean BBQ restuarant!

    Breakfast:

    Some HEB brand high fiber cereal with berries and yogurt (probiotic) and skim milk

    Lunch:

    Sandwich, doritos & pineapple, diet 7 up

    Dinner:

    ?? Probably something really fattening from teh bar we are going to tournament for shuffleboard. Darn shuffleboard gets me everytime - noticed?

    @Sulli301 - I used to keep a very detailed online food journal, adding everything that passed my lips. It is good to know exactly what you are putting in your body. This is just a much faster way of trying to stay aware. :)

    I ate a tuna fish sandwich, a couple sips of juice, and one two-bite brownie. For supper I'll probably have some of my leftover chocolate milkshake, and leftover meatloaf/potatoes/green beans OR leftover pasta. (I work tonight, so I have to pack leftovers, or chow on fast food. Sigh.)
