I like the food journal.......Cinderella--doesn't matter if you don't eat enough or just junk....this way you can keep up with what you are eating and make better food choices, whether it is to gain weight, maintain weight or lose weight. This is all to make us healthier and to make better food choices and portion sizes!!!

[pmaslan]

Oh I forgot WATER...I think I have had 72 ounces already today
I drink a lot of water, I stay away from all sodas.....

[cinderellawkids]

I failed. Had frozen pizaa and icecream last night and Im already drinking soda today. Im starting over tomorrow and dropping that awful soda. (That I love so much.)

[cinderellawkids]

Today Im really off Im sitting here eating abox of cheese crackers and a candy bar. I better get out my apple and bana quick.

I hope your doing better than me.
Im going to make sure I have a healthy dinner, and no more soda.

[elizabeth1979]

Dinner last night hosed me a litte. I had Boston Market chicken 2 pieces and creamed spinach.

Today will be better.

Breakfast:
Coffee-black
Lunch: Spinach with vinegar and sauteed vegetables

We will see about dinner, thats what kills me...

[pmaslan]

OK Cinderella......back away from the candy bar!!!!!
Why wait til tomorrow????
Start right this minute....you will be a half a day ahead of the game
if you do it now.

Sarah, you didn't mess up too bad....as long as dessert wasn't included
with that Boston Market dinner.
You are doing great today....I know nights are hard for me....
I always get hungry again around 8pm....

Today:
Breakfast: Special K with skim milk & fat free cappachino
Snack: Carrotts again....
Luncn in about 10 minutes: Lean Cuisine
Dinner is scary...I am going out with a friend it's always a fine dining
place with him so god help me....gotta stay away from those sauces on
that healthy salmon.....
and most likely a glass or 2 of merlot

[Jwife22]

Dinner last night was one half of a baked lemon chicken breast with 1 measured serving of mac & cheese with light butter and skim milk. Drank skim milk with dinner

Today for me is going alright

breakfast- dry cheerios and diet pepsi (need to drink more water I know I know, but i needed caffiene)

Lunch- half a baked chicken breast (yuck, new recipe last night and didn't care for it, ate half last night and half today) with 1 premeasured serving of mac and cheese (light butter and skim milk) Crystal Light to drink

Dinner tonight---i don't know yet but I am thinking spagetti b/c its quick and i'm tired......its my downfall though......only eat one serving of noodles and one serving of pasta with no fattening hamburger meat.

Chewing sugarless gum when I get the hunger cravings........

[elizabeth1979]

Good job ladies!
I switched out my spinach and suateed vegetables for a large green salad with organic, gluten free dressing and 4 oz of drained canned tuna...

[pmaslan]

oooooohhhh gotta love that gluten free dressing......
sorry just playing with you....

[Jwife22]

Oh yeah....I had peas and carrots (frozen, of course) with my dinner last night.

[unsure of]

Hello one and all

well I'm starting my day off with coffee and a grapfruit

for lunch i'm probably going out ( i forgot the egg salad at home today) and i'm tried of baby spinch salad. which mean i'll probably end up with fast food today :^( Maybe i'll go out to applebees and get a grilled chicken wrap it's Friday i should take a long lunch.

dinner i have to work at my second job so it'll be chicken and veggie lean crisine. (last night i was very bad and had ranch doritos and striped sugar cookies out of the snack machine at work)

but today is another day.

polly anna

ps this is a great idea

[Jwife22]

Today for me was no breakfast/no time and good thing b/c my boss is buying everyone lunch today from the local fish resturant to benefit his church.

I am having fried chicken strips w/ hushpuppies. That is probably the most fattening thing in the world....looks like it'll be extra walking and salad for dinner tonight.

[pmaslan]

No time for my usual Special K this morning
so I had a Power Bar instead.
Lunch will be a WW meal of some sort. I keep the freezer here
at my office stocked with lots of choices.
Dinner: For some reason I think it's going to be bad...lol
My boys love Pizza on Friday nights and the one we order is awesome
so I am already setting myself up....
Maybe and extra 20 minutes on the treadmill tonight....
This is a lot of work...sigh

[elizabeth1979]

Dinner last night, um yeah..kind of didnt have dinner.
Got wrapped up in packing...haha wrapped up in packing...and before I knew it, the clock said 12:30 and that is wayyy too late to eat for me.
Oh, I did eat a 3 bean salad at about 7 though, as a snack..

Today:
Fresh cantelope and black coffee for breakfast.
Not sure about lunch, its tough for me at work if I dont bring my lunch!

I weighed this am though and doing good....back from the depths of birth control weight gain hell!

[elizabeth1979]

Oh ,and Pmaslan, the gluten free dressing, really is quite tasty!

[Jwife22]

Pam--

Sigh is right. It is hard. I hate exercising on the weekend but I'll have to do it for an extra long time tonight after the lunch I am going to have.

Elizabeth-- I had the bc weight gain too!! Finally had to switch the pills I was taking b/c they made me STAY HUNGRY. The new ones are quite better! Also had to stopped smoking weight gain, that one was really rough.


HEY--has anyone tried those salad spritzers by Wishbone? I would like to know if they taste like the actual dressing. They supposedly only have like 1 calorie per spritz.

[Jwife22]

Sorry Patty----don't know why I wrote Pam!!!!

[pmaslan]

No I haven't tried those spritzers yet, but I would imagine they
taste the same it is just porportioned minimally....A spray would
have to be a lot less than POURING it on...lol

[elizabeth1979]

The salad spritzer thing is marketing trickery. They market it as 1 calorie, when I think if you poured salad dressing in a 79 cent spray bottle and watered it down, ...you would have the same effect.

That stuff is almost 5 bucks in stores here!

[Jwife22]

Its only 2.99 here so I thought I would try it

[elizabeth1979]

Lunch for me will be tomato soup..gluten free and organic of course. Found a box of it in my desk.
