Not shabby

Today wasn't too bad.

• Breakfast: Egg bagel, mustard, svg of deli ham, slice of RF cheese and 2 hard boiled eggs. 
• Lunch: Ham steak, green beans, slice of WW bread, 2 mandarin oranges, and a McD's fruit and yogurt parfait with granola. 
• No snack due to dentist visit
• Dinner: 1cup of tortellini soup and 2 svgs crackers 
• Dessert: 4 mozzarella sticks 
• Midnight snack: slice of ww bread, 2-3tbs peanut butter 

I want to make some of those parfaits on my own. Though they are only a dollar at McD's, it is better not to have the temptation of ordering something less healthy. Still no exercise today. I did go to work early this morning though...excuses, excuses. I have not struggled with being hungry, which is a good thing. Meals are filling enough to feel satisfied and I believe the veggie/fruit fiber that I am in-taking is helping curb my appetite.

Edit: I had to add the midnight snack. My stomach was actually growling and I was uncomfortable, so I had the pb and bread...a better choice than I what I usually eat. Normally it is a sandwich, chips, and/or cookies or candy. So even though I ate, I did manage to make a better choice.

Trying

So, I didn't start on Saturday I started on Monday.

Monday:

• Breakfast: Egg Bagel, mustard, serving of deli turkey, one slice of rf cheese, and 2 hard boiled eggs
• Lunch: Chicken Chili, 2 svgs crackers, 2 mandarin oranges, 2 sandwich cookies, and pear cup
• Snack: bag of baby carrots
• Dinner: Ham Steak, broccoli mac & cheese, WW bread with spray butter
• Dessert: 1/2 pink lemonade cake pop, sour patch kids
• Drinks: 6oz Diet Rite, 8oz coffee with creamer & splenda, and water

Tuesday:

• Breakfast: Egg Bagel, mustard, serving of deli turkey, one slice of rf cheese, and 2 hard boiled eggs
• Lunch: 4 slices of deli pepperoni pizza from WalMart, 2 mandarin oranges, 1 sandwich cookie
• Snack: bag of baby carrots
• Dinner: 2 hot dogs, 1 bun, 1 svg of baked beans, and 2 svgs french fries
• Dessert: sour patch kids
• Drinks: 6oz Diet Rite, 8oz coffee with creamer & splenda, and water

Not a horrible start. No exercise yet though.

Starting again

As we looking into trying to conceive a child, I need to lose weight for a number of reasons. I didn't realize it's been since Oct 2009 since I last even bothered trying to lose weight. Starting on Saturday, I am going to try and eat healthier and exercise. I'd *love* to lose about 15-20lbs before my next GP doc visit for a bp/blood check. That's not an unrealistic goal, it's in the 2-3lbs a week range. This isn't going to be easy and I have horrible will power. Thinking about joining a message board for some support. I would love to do weight watchers, but buying healthy food is expensive enough. I think I'm actually looking forward to trying to lose.

Keeping up the bad

I think I had a "false start" on this diet.

Breakfast: Dry toast (2), Fried (in cooking spray) eggs (2), lunch meat ham (1)
2nd Breakfast: 1 Burger King sausage biscuit and 8 cheesy tots
Lunch: Moe's Triple Lindy w/sour cream-streaker, tortilla chips and salsa
Dinner: 1 Large cheese thin crust Papa Johns pizza
Dessert: 6 SweeTarts
Drinks: 1c milk, Starbucks 15oz nonfat Cinnamon Dolce latte-no whip, 12oz diet soda, water

Ugh.

Yikes!

Horribleness continued...

• Dessert: Caribbean Pie (mini-graham cracker crust with bananas & pineapple tidbits in SF/FF vanilla pudding topped with lite Cool Whip, toasted coconut & macadamia nut pieces)
• Drinks: 1c milk, 16oz diet soda, water

Did not feel well after lunch at all. Was working out the yard afterward and ended up in the lavatory. Probably all that grease after not eating anything like that all week. My stomach hurt again after dessert and didn't stop until Monday afternoon.

• Dinner: Cheesy Broccoli Chicken (4oz breast) and 1.5c egg noodles

I didn't have a great week so far. I'm off for the next two days from work. Hopefully I can start over again.

Horribleness?

Oof! I had a day off apparently. I didn't eat breakfast at home (because we didn't have anything), I didn't eat lunch at all and I didn't get what I said I was at Max & Erma's. Lots of "didn't"s in that sentence.

• Breakfast: Starbucks Sausage, egg and cheese on an English muffin
• Lunch: Nothing
• Dinner: Max & Ermas: 2 pretzel sticks & nacho cheese dip, 1/2 club sandwich & house salad w/Ranch dressing
• Snacks: Popcorn (at hockey game) and 8 SweeTarts
• Drinks: tall decaf coffee w/splenda and half&half, 2 12oz diet sodas, water

Now that I type it all down, it was a day off, but it won't undo everything I've done this week and it was just ONE day. Byron stopped for a potty break and asked if I wanted anything. I said no. He came back with a soda and a 3 Musketeers bar and offered me some, again I said no. I'm back on to being better today.

Better than I thought

One of the guys brought me a McD's ice cream cone and I ate it for dessert at lunch time. I was unsure of the damage that would do, but according to Dottie's WLZ, it's not that bad. Hooray!

• Breakfast: Dry toast (2), Fried (in cooking spray) egg (1), lunch meat ham (1), RF cheese slice (1)
• Lunch: 2 chicken thighs baked in Teriyaki sauce(skin removed), 3/4c rice and 1/3c pineapple chunks. McD's ice cream cone
• Dinner: Steak-ums (3), 1.5 slice of Provolone cheese, wheat sub bun, 1 serving fries, ketchup
  
• Dessert: 100 cal Nutty bar
• Snacks: 1 pack of Lance crackers, 1 SweetTart
  
• Drinks: 1c milk, 12oz diet soda, water

My friend had someone go to Starbucks for her this evening and he asked if I wanted anything and I said no. After the ice cream, I really didn't want anything but dinner. Tomorrow' Norfolk for hockey. Hooray!
