Over tired...

Its after midnight, but here goes...

So... what did I eat today? (technically yesterday...)

Breakfast:

2 slices ez toast with pb and jam; milk

Lunch:

diet coke with lemon; 2 beef sliders; french fries; thai lettuce wraps (2)

Dinner:

Chinese food buffet (never a good idea when trying to lose weight!!!)

May tomorrow be better...

Oh, how the mighty has fallen...

What a ba-a-ad day! WHY?! I am not sure...

So... what did I eat today?

Breakfast:

milk at home with vitamin and ibuprofen

1/2 energy bagel with cream cheese

Snack:

1/2 bagel (honey wheat) with cream cheese

Lunch:

beef stoup; giant marshmallow; 2 lindt balls

Snack:

OMG! I stopped at Trader Joe's after a long walk in the woods. I got potato chips and oatmeal cookies dipped in chocolate and proceeded to eat 1/2 of each in the car ride home. CRAZY!!!

Dinner:

clam chowder; corn bread with butter; nachos with sour cream and salsa

Just as I start to make a little progress and feel a little good about myself, I ruin it and attack my own efforts. What is this about?

May tomorrow be better...

So tired...

Every evening I come home ready to "shut down," whether it is 6PM or 10PM. What is wrong with me?

So... what did I eat today?

Breakfast:

cereal with milk; banana

Snack:

pb crackers in 2/3B.

Lunch:

cucumber with dip; beef stoup; smallish bowl of coffee ice cream

Dinner:

chicken and veggie curry over white rice; caramel apple (WHY?!)

May tomorrow be better... please...

Quick and dirty...

So... what did I eat today?

Breakfast:

breakfast was at school today, since I had to shovel the driveway first. It was a bowl of high fiber cereal with milk and a banana.

Snack:

None. Ella was very sad so I sat with her throughout snack and I didn't take a break.

Lunch:

cantaloupe; beef stoup

Snack:

whole caramel apple (tsk...tsk...)

Dinner:

whole steak sub (1/2 should have been sufficient); small bag of chips

Meeting at Oxbow, so dinner was on the run ~ never a good thing. Not an excuse, but an explanation...

May tomorrow be better...

Okay...

At first, I felt like such a failure... until I really thought about it. Then I realized I could still sort of rescue the day if I was careful... so I did.

So... what did I eat today?

Breakfast:

2 slices ez toast with pb and jam; milk

Snack:

banana

Lunch:

beef stoup; multi-grain chips (too many); a few slices caramel apple

Dinner:

chicken tikka masala; mixed veggies; white rice; 2 slices nan

May tomorrow be better...

No title...

All I could think of was "tired," but I've used it before, so today has no title.

So... what did I eat today?

Breakfast:

2 slices ez toast with pb and honey or jam; milk

Snack:

cantaloupe (planned); cupcake (unplanned-in the staff room)

Lunch:

curry chicken and onions with peas on boiled potatoes and carrots (Still YUM!); a small piece of cake (still in staff room). I really wish I hadn't eaten the cupcake or the cake, as it wasn't worth it. Why must I eat something just because it is there?!

Snack:

yogurt with raspberries and syrup

Dinner:

A long drive around trying to decide what to eat and where, then I decided to go home instead. I stopped at the convenience store and bought a little bag of chips. I wanted Wachusett, but they only had them in bigger bags and I knew I'd eat it all (or at least more than a serving size!), so I bought a different brand in a little bag. I went home and made sweet potato "fries" in the oven, as well as asparagus that way and they were delicious. Then I had an ice cream bar for dessert (that I also picked up at the store... also single-serving).

May tomorrow be better...

Oy!

I am holding on, but it isn't easy.

So... what did I eat today?

Breakfast:

banana; cereal with milk; a few peanuts

Lunch:

rice with veggies; spinach souffle

Snack:

1/2 cup cocoa (ran out of milk)

Dinner:

sauteed chicken and onions in a curry sauce with peas, served over boiled potatoes and carrots

It was AWESOME! Sometimes these "thrown together" dinners are perfect!

Dessert:

caramel apple I got when I went out for milk for tomorrow's breakfast

I shoveled for nearly three hours today, if that counts as exercise...

May tomorrow be better...

Pizza and stress...

OK, I don't know what is causing the stress and the increased eating urges (obsessions!), but I have a few guesses and it could be a combination:

1. It could be the hormone supplement~I am at the start of a 10-day round

2. It could be the stress of snow and shoveling

3. It could be thinking about moving out and all that it entails (YIKES!)

4. And it could be all the social challenges of my life

So... what did I eat today? And what did I want to eat but avoided?

Breakfast:

cereal ~ a mix of multigrain and high fiber (Barbara's) with milk

Snack:

banana muffin with 2/3A

Lunch:

brown rice with veggies; spinach souffle; one butterscotch candy

Snack:

goldfish with YT's

Dinner:

an entire small pizza (extra sauce/light on the cheese)

Dessert:

hot cocoa

I obsessed about potato chips and really wanted them all evening, but avoided the temptation. I wanted ice cream, cookies, cake---anything sweet, which is why I finally had the hot cocoa, which satisfied the urge for sweet.
