"What did you eat Today"

[disneyfanatic3166]

Okay.. Today I was much better!

Breakfast: Granola Bar

Lunch: Bologna, tomato, + lettuce on whole wheat wrap

Snack: Two oreo's

Dinner: Beef+Vegetable Soup at Hand

Explain this to me... I went to bed, didn't eat anything, woke up, and I was 4 pounds heavier...?? Oh well, i'll keep trying - back to the cardio !

 

[chamonix]

antss, that was a great dinner! Good for you!

disneyholic, maybe your scale was just wonky. Did you really lose 4 pounds one day and "find" it again the next day? That sounds like a scale thing. Or possibly just a water retention thing. How was your sodium and water intake?

The only other thing that can affect my weight like that would be if I weighed with a very very empty stomach (and intestine, lol) vs. weighing with a good meal or two in there.

 

[disneyfanatic3166]

Yep, I'm starting to think that it was either my scale, or me reading what I wanted to...

I can't say today was my best day...

Breakfast: Granola Bar

Lunch: We had a party in the office today, so I had a cupcake and about a cup of chips However, I "borrowed and banked" so I skipped having lunch after that.

Dinner: DD had a choir performance, so they made pre-packaged dinners for the stage crew moms. It included a turkey sandwich, an apple, a cookie, and some chips. I ate it all... I have no self control...

Oh well, I did drop .4 lbs today. Not great, but i'll take it.

 

[ANTSS2001]

[chamonix]

whoa, way to go antss!!!

Yesterday I ate:
OJ, coffee
1/2 plain turkey sandwich (just turkey and bread, one piece cut in two)
dinner: lasagna with a bolognese meat sauce (but not tomato based, not cream based, it's just ground meat and white wine and butter, lol)

 

[disneyfanatic3166]

I was bad, bad, bad today!

Breakfast: Apple

Lunch: Turkey, cheese, and mayo sandwich
cheese stick
banana
apple sauce

Dinner: (this is where it got bad)
DH brought me out for Dinner for Indian, I definately overate... I'm definately not going to step on the scale until tomorrow, when I will have had time to adjust

I'll try to get back on track tomorrow - wish me luck!

 

[chamonix]

yesterday I ate:
OJ, coffee
lean cuisine mushroom pizza (had to eat on the run, bad me!)
dinner: out for margaritas and mexican food for a friend's birthday, I had a grilled chicken breast in peanut sauce over some rice with side of refried beans. (pollo de cacahuate--chicken in a peanut mole sauce). Chips and salsa.

I am not feeling good about my Tuesday weigh-in, lol! I really just tried to limit my portions.

Today has not been too great but while I have not made the smartest choices I have made smarter choices than I would have. Sometimes that is over half the battle....

Breakfast: Just a Diet Pepsi
Lunch: I had the opportunity to go out on a kid free lunch with DH and he wanted to go to Chevy's. I only ate 4 chips with some salsa which in itself is a huge miracle because I normally can eat almost an entire basket all by myself. I then ordered the chicken quesadilla with no sour cream or guacamole.
Dinner: I belive to compensate for my big lunch I will be eating a Lean Cuisine for dinner.

 

[chamonix]

HI becka, welcome to the thread! You're right, not every choice will be the best choice, but a little better/smarter helps too! Baby steps, lol.

Yesterday I ate:
OJ, coffee
WW noodles for lunch with garlic and butter on them (I was a tad hungover, )
Dd and I tried making chocolate frozen yogurt from scratch but it came out bad! So, I only ate about 1/2 C, lol.
For dinner I made Thai Basil Chicken: ground chicken with Tbs fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, cooked with chopped onion and fresh jalapenos, handfuls of fresh basil leaves thrown in at the end. Ate this over rice. (1/2 C)

Today:
OJ, coffee
LF vanilla yogurt with 1/4 c granola
broiled chicken breast and corn on the cob (no butter, no salt)
Weigh in tomorrow!!

hello... I was in a car accident the 9th, all I remember was me being taken in the ambulance, next thing I know I was at the ER and kept me for a good 8-9 hours for a series of xray and cat scan. It was raining heavily and all were driving slow, this one jeep cherockee must have gotten bored waiting and try to overtake or must have speed up and lost control qwho knows and end up on my laine, had no where to get since the right side was a creek and the left, well there was the ongoing traffic, with a 25 mile per hour I dont know how much slower I can go and next thing I know I was under the hood, both air bag popped windshield shuttered, haldf of the frot car was basically gone, I was home the whole day sore and tomorrow I go back to see my premary dr. I really thought that was the end of me, but when I woke up at the ER well I got a new lease on life. Just home now sore and looking like a bruised banana.

Hope all is well with everyone. Will try to catch up with the threads while am on the mercy of all this wonder/miracle drugs

And now regarding food.... I trully dont remember. the last time I ate was Wednesday morning and had some oatmeal and banana. Lunch was a yugort, then the accident, didnt not get anything till I got oput of the ER at midnite, had a little snack and went to bed. Today I had brown rice soup and some chicken alot of water alot of sleeping. Thats about.
