Last Two Days

I haven't really eaten any solid meals the last two days. I'll get hungry, but nothing sounds appetizing, so I'll just have a snack. Rinse and repeat. I have at least been eating a lot of clementines.

Monday 7/12/10

Breakfast: PBJ on whole wheat with no-sugar-added jam. 1% milk.

Lunch: Frozen CPK pizza - garlic chicken on thin crust. Diet soda.

Dinner: Leftover chicken fried rice.

Snack: Special K with 1%. Clementine.

Okay wow. Today was a horrible food day. But really, today was just horrible altogether (I told you about the epic fight that kept me up all night, literally). At least I didn't eat Wendy's. And actually, I weighed myself this morning and I'm down to 194. I don't even remember where I started, but I know I've lost something!

Sunday 7/11/10

Lunch: I had to go to an AA meeting for one of my classes and I was running late. I didn't want a breakfast burrito but that's the thing I could make the fastest and eat in the car, so that's what I had. Diet soda.

Dinner: Sushi feast courtesy of my mom! Salad, vegetable tempura, cucumber roll, shrimp tempura roll, lobster roll (I was sharing my rolls with my mom). Tiny shot-glass-sized chocolate mousse for dessert.

Snack: Honey nut cheerios with 1%.

Had a nice walk to and from dinner, probably 20-30 minutes.

Saturday 7/10/10

Breakfast: Oatmeal squares cereal with 1%.

Lunch: Wanted hangover food. Cheeseburger and fries from McDonald's.

Dinner: 2 frozen waffles with butter and syrup. 1% milk. Yeah, weird. I don't know.

Friday 7/9/10

Slept through breakfast.

Lunch: Leftover pot stickers and rice.

Snack: Clementine, light cheese, crackers.

Dinner: Tried a nearby tavern on a date. Had a green salad with some kind of vinaigrette, and a BLTA on a ciabatta roll. Hard cider.

Drinks: Had 4 or so vodka tonic type drinks.

Does walking to, from and between bars count as exercise? Probably not enough walking to count.

Thursday 7/8/10

Breakfast: Starbucks - venti light frap and the bacon artisan sandwich. I needed a serious boost as I had to be at school at 7:30 and was facing a 10 hour day.

Lunch: Chicken salad sandwich from the deli. They make their chicken salad with light mayo, yay! Served with lettuce, tomato and pickles on a roll. Clementine and diet soda on the side.

Snacks: Apple, 1 oz. roasted almonds, Fiber One granola bar.

Dinner: Ordered Chinese delivery even though I had plenty of leftovers in the house. I think I was feeling depressed about the paper I had to write. Had 2 small eggrolls, 4 pot stickers, and chicken fried rice. I ended up not eating much of the rice after filling up on appetizers.

Exercise: Whoa! Haven't seen this category in a while. During lab today we spent the whole time running around outside analyzing complex movements. I learned how to properly kick a soccer ball and had a blast doing it. We played a game of kickball at the end of lab, too. At least 30 solid minutes of FUN exercise.

Wednesday 7/7/10

Breakfast: Burrito.

Snack: Grapes.

Lunch: Vegetable barley soup (zero WW points!), clementine, diet soda.

Snacks: Light baby cheese. Oatmeal squares cereal with 1%.

Dinner: It was raining and I wanted comfort food. My first impulse was to go to McDonald's, but I decided to have a veggie burger and tater tots at home instead. Veggie burger on a whole wheat bun with cheddar, light mayo, avocado, lettuce, tomato, pickles. Started to eat my tater tots with "fry sauce" (light mayo and ketchup mixed together) but decided after a few tots that I preferred them plain. Diet 7-Up.

Tuesday 7/6/10

Well, I was feeling hopelessly unmotivated yesterday and I ate like it. But today I think I did pretty well!

Breakfast: D'light sandwich.

Snacks: Starving all morning. Ate blueberries, grapes, a clementine, light baby cheese, and a Fiber One granola bar. Most of this was my lunch, which left me with...

Lunch: Chicken noodle soup, small chunk of French bread. Diet soda.

Snack: 1 oz. roasted almonds.

Dinner: BBQ chicken, corn on the cob, pasta salad, garlic bread. Leftovers from Sunday. 1% milk.

So yeah. Plenty of fruits and veggies. Nothing terribly horrible, although the pasta salad and garlic bread probably weren't excellent. But overall I'm very happy with my day. Way to bounce back, me!

Sunday 7/4/10

Today was just one big feast at my mom's. We ate pretty much all day. I had chips and guacamole, home grown strawberries (holy shit if these will grow in TX you *have* to grow some), BBQ chicken, garlic bread, pasta salad, corn on the cob, watermelon, brownies, cookies, homemade popcorn, and a root beer float. I don't think I could give you amounts of anything except I had 1.5 pieces of chicken. It was just such an all day affair that I lost track of everything. Oh, and the wine probably had something to do with it.

Saturday 7/3/10

Breakfast: Went to my mom's to have brunch with visiting family. She made honey wheat waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, and chicken sausage. Also had some grapes and a clementine. 2% milk.

Napped through lunch.

Snack: Blueberry banana smoothie made with light vanilla yogurt. Baked pita chips with hummus.

Dinner: Arrived starving to a BBQ - mistake! I ate a hot dog, a cheeseburger, tortilla chips with spinach artichoke dip, watermelon and some kind of alcoholic punch. It was all delicious and I tried to eat really slowly to make sure I was really hungry enough to eat all that.

Friday 7/2/10

Breakfast: Friday morning again, which means breakfast at school. A girl brought AMAZING breakfast burritos with sausage, eggs, potatoes, cheese and green chili. I kept myself to eating one, but it was hard. Light frappuccino.

Slept through lunch.

Dinner: Baked chicken, whole grain rice medley, sliced tomato with balsamic dressing. Diet soda.

Snack: 2 mini whole grain blueberry bagels with whipped cream cheese. 1% milk.

Veggie fail today. Sigh.

Thursday 7/1/10

WHOOPS! I so forgot about posting! It's not because I fell off the wagon again, I just completely forgot!

Breakfast: D'Light sandwich.

Snack: Apple, light baby cheese.

Lunch: Tuna sandwich from Subway w/provolone and piles of veggies. I know the tuna is pretty high fat but it is pretty much my crack. Didn't have chips or anything.

Dinner: Leftover lazy casserole.

Snack: Special K with 1%.

First of all, I am awesome for being able to list what I ate three days ago. Second of all, another mediocre day, food wise. I probably got 3 servings of fruit/veggies, but that's about my only healthy claim.

Wednesday 6/30/10

Eff. It's like the world was out to destroy my healthy eating today.

Had a late start, no breakfast.

Lunch: I was running late so I had to pick something up and eat in the car on the way to school. Went to McDonald's and ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and a yogurt. What I received in my bag was a grilled chicken sandwich and french fries. By the time I had opened the bag I was already on the interstate so I just ate what I had. Strike one.

Snacks: Light baby cheese, apple, 1 oz. roasted peanuts, all distributed through the afternoon. At least those were healthy.

Dinner: Had to stay late to write a group paper. I was just going to wait and eat when I got home, but one of my group mates brought two freaking pizzas to our meeting. Ack! I had one slice of pepperoni and one bread stick. Strike two.

I was planning on eating something like a salad when I got home to round out my dinner, but I was way too tired. Dragged myself to the grocery store finally.

Snack: Quaker oatmeal squares cereal with 1% milk.

Summary of today: blah.

Tuesday 6/29/10

Breakfast: D'Light sandwich.

Lunch: What I call "Lazy Casserole." AKA some Stouffer's thing that you just stick in the oven for about an hour. It has rice, chicken and veggies. Not terribly healthy but the first half of my day was shitty and I didn't feel like making anything. Diet soda.

Dinner: Polenta rounds that I fried up in a tiny bit of vegetable oil, topped with homemade tomato sauce. Salad with honey mustard dressing. Which, much to my dismay, I discovered is NOT healthier than the ranch dressing I have. Sad, since the whole reason I bought it was a healthier substitute! Oh yes and a Fiber One banana chocolate chip muffin for dessert.

So, I'm feeling a bit better today. I didn't eat great, but I didn't eat at McDonald's and/or out of a frosting can. I need to go to the store badly, so I'll have to do that tomorrow. I'll get tons of healthy stuff.

Weekend of Woe

I have no good excuses for not posting for the last 3 days, other than I've been feeling really down and it shows in my eating. Let's just say my weekend included things like eating leftover chocolate frosting with a spoon. I didn't shower or put on real clothes all weekend. I don't know what's bothering me but I definitely need to snap out of it.

Now I am seriously craving a bowl of Special K but I drank all my milk last night. Considering taking a study break to go get some in the name of eating something remotely healthy.

Friday 6/25/10

Breakfast: D'Light sandwich, small coffee with cream.

Snack: Light baby cheese.

Lunch: Treated myself to Subway since it's Friday and I was too lazy to pack a lunch. Had a 6" oven roasted chicken breast with provolone, light mayo and tons of veggies. Baked Lays and diet soda. I only had about 10 minutes to eat so I probably ate more than I needed to.

Snack: 1 oz. dried cranberries, 1 oz. roasted peanuts.

Dinner: Went out to dinner with my parents and feasted. Bread with butter, bruschetta, half a caesar salad (there was way too much dressing on it), tortellini with tomato cream sauce, Godiva cheesecake, 2 glasses of wine. Holy moly I came home and collapsed into a food coma.

You know, I ate healthfully the rest of the day, so I'm just going to chalk that dinner up to indulgence. I'm fine with it. I think my overall eating habits are really improving.

Thursday 6/24/10

Breakfast: La Favorita burrito.

Snack: Light baby cheese.

Lunch: Tuna on whole wheat made with light mayo. Lettuce/pickles/half a slice of reduced fat provolone (I decided halfway through the sandwich that I didn't like the smokey flavor with the tuna so I just took the cheese off!). Baked Lays, diet soda.

Snacks: Apple, Fiber One granola bar, tortilla chips with fat free refried beans/shredded cheese. The bean dip has become one of my favorite snacks ever. So satisfying and delicious! I'm going to switch to baked tortilla chips as soon as this bag runs out.

Dinner: Beef w/wasabi-garlic cream sauce, stir fried broccoli, whole grain rice medley. 1% milk.

Snack: Honey nut cheerios with a tiny sliced banana and 1%.

I ate a lot today, but it was generally healthy stuff. For some reason I've been craving insane amounts of milk. Maybe I'm calcium deficient, maybe it's just because I'm trying to limit myself to one soda per day and I get bored of water.

Wednesday 6/23/10

Breakfast: Banana.

Lunch: Pei Wei kung pao chicken on noodles. Ate roughly half and took the other half home. Diet soda.

Dinner: Last leftover pork chop (which I only ate about half of), carrots vichy and a whole grain medley (brown rice, red and black quinoa). Man I love Uncle Ben's ready rice. So glad it comes in whole grain varieties. 1% milk.

Snacks: Special K with 1%. Later on, 8 crackers and 2 slices of cheddar cheese.

Even though I ate lunch out, I feel like today was a totally reasonable food day! Woot!

Tuesday, June 22, 2010

Tuesday 6/22/10

Breakfast: D'Light sandwich.

Morning snacks: For some reason I was starving in class today! Apple, baby cheese, 1 oz. cashews.

Lunch: 2 slices of leftover chicken/artichoke pizza, no crusts. Baby carrots. Diet soda.

Afternoon snacks: Still starving in class. It was a looooong day. Fat free yogurt, 2 pickle spears (although not at the same time, blech).

Dinner: Chipotle, my usual. Not sure if the Chipotle version has the same amount of calories as the Qdoba version. I should check into that. Their website is NOT helpful.

Too few hours of sleep again. I am going to bed early tonight.

Monday 6/21/10

Breakfast: D'Light, Starbucks mocha light frap.

Lunch: Leftover soba noodles and steak with garlic-wasabi cream sauce, baby carrots.

Snack: 1 oz. dried cranberries, 1 oz. cashews.

Dinner: Came home from school starving and had to take Chad straight to the airport, so... McDonald's. Ack! Quarter pounder w/cheese, fries, diet soda. Although I didn't eat all my fries!

Snack: Special K with 1%.

Not enough sleep, bad food choices, and no exercise. Boooooo.
