Monday 6/14/10

Breakfast: D'Light breakfast sandwich.

Lunch: PBJ on wheat (with no sugar added jam), light babybel, baked Lays. Diet soda.

Snack: 1 oz. dried cranberries.

Dinner: The rest of the baked chicken torn up into a bowl of risotto. Soooo delicious. Wine.

Snack: Honey nut cheerios with skim milk.

Not the healthiest day ever. But I did throw away the rest of that marionberry pie after deciding that, although it was delicious, I really didn't need it hanging around the apartment.

I know it's time for week 3 goals but I am having a hard time coming up with something. It looks from the past few days like maybe I need to refocus on my fruits and veggies. Maybe I can try to get FOUR servings a day!

As for exercise, I again only managed one workout last week. Now that Merlin is home with me (and could stand to lose a few pounds himself) I'd like to make one of my exercise goals to take him on a long walk. Then I can do another, more serious cardio session on my own.

Tuesday 6/8/10

Breakfast: D'Light breakfast sandwich. I switched to the english muffin kind instead of the croissant kind since they were slightly healthier.

Snack: Ate a few roasted pumpkin seeds during class, then realized I was only eating to stay awake. I do this quite often, actually. I need to get more sleep. Ate some strawberries later in the morning when I was actually hungry.

Lunch: Chicken noodle soup, light babybel cheese, 2 milano cookies. Diet soda.

Snack: Fat free refried beans with a little melted cheese, tortilla chips.

Dinner: Baked chicken, steamed corn on the cob (rolled in a tiny bit of butter), whole grain rice medley. Light yogurt for dessert.

Exercise: 30 minutes of DDR. Very fun workout!

I think I did a good job of eating lower fat foods today! The tortilla chips were probably fatty, as well as the melted cheese I put on my beans. The cookies were rich, too, but I only ate two. And I got enough fruit and veggies. So, I give myself an A- for the day.

Friday 6/4/10

Today was not a good food day. I was stressed out and exhausted, and I ate as such.

Breakfast: Friday mornings we have small group tutorials and every week someone brings breakfast. Today was blueberry streusel muffins and fresh fruit. I ate one muffin and at least a cup of pineapple/grapes/honeydew melon. Plus coffee with skim milk.

Snack: Kelloggs Fiber Plus Antioxidants granola bar.

Lunch: Tuna sandwich on a baguette with lettuce, tomato and provolone. Diet soda.

Dinner: Q'doba again, same thing as last time. Naked chicken burrito and a brownie, although I blame the brownie on my mom - she's the one who brought dinner. 1% milk to drink.

Exercise: a little walking and lots of packing. Again, not really an aerobic workout, but much more activity than I'm used to. My muscles are sore from yesterday, so I must have used them.

Tomorrow will be another loooooong day. Hopefully I can eat a little better.

Tuesday 6/1/10

Breakfast: Jimmy Dean D-Light breakfast sandwich (turkey sausage, egg white, and cheese on a low fat croissant). These are so great for me because I can eat them in the car on the way to school and I still get a hot breakfast!

Lunch: Subway 6" turkey/ham with provolone, light mayo and lots of veggies. Diet soda.

Snack: apple and mini bonbel light cheese.

Dinner: homemade nachos! Tortilla chips, 93% lean ground beef, fat free refried beans, black olives, shredded Mexican cheese, diced tomato and 1/4 of an avocado. 1% milk to drink. I let myself get too hungry and ate too much.

Snack: light yogurt.

Exercise: walked to Subway and back (25 minutes). Not much, but a start.
