That four letter word again.....

Ok, you are going to get bored with me writing about my food choices but it's the only way I can stay on track.  After Tony died I let myself go and am back up to max weight again.  So you get to suffer with me and I'll be tracking here as well as inserting pictures because that is the only way I can stay on topic.

So I started back with tracking on Monday.

So here's what I had for lunch today. Overall probably more than I should have but less than I normally do so that is good also.

I went to the University's food center and had their buffet. I took their black styrofoam to go containers, you know the kind that is split into three sections, and filled the largest section with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and black olives and shredded cheese. In one of the smaller sections I took one rounded scoop of tuna salad and in the last section one rounded scoop of cottage cheese topped with five small apricot halves. I also put in the container 10 tortilla chips.

When I got back to the office I put the tortilla chips in another bowl and put the shredded cheese on top of them. They were put aside for a snack at break time.

Then I put a packet of Kraft Free French dressing on my salad.

Overall I don't think it too bad.




Last night was a downfall for me but I think I still did pretty good. I managed to have 64 oz of liquid yesterday - 32 of water and 32 of coke zero. That was one of the best days for liquid intake in a long time.

My dinner last night was a thin chicken breast (pre weight .178 of pound), onions and carrots. I don't think it was enough because I got hungry later on so I got out my hungry girl slider wraps and put peanut butter on it and ate that. I approximate that to have been 350 calories. I know the wraps were a little under 150 but not sure exactly how much peanut butter I used but 2 teaspoons is 190 so I'm using that.







So today, the 3rd, is another day.  Today I had an egg mcmuffin for breakfast and got my 32 oz of coke zero. Still working on breakfast options but will find a solution soon. I can always have oatmeal but would like to change it up and mom wants me to bring her hot picante sauce from McDonald's so it's natural to go through there and order something. I still had a packet of buddig meat in the work frig and a slice of cheese. I brought the slider wraps. 1/3 of it (they are sectioned off in thirds) has a teeny amount of peanut butter on it so that might be a snack. The other two thirds will be for lunch. I'll use the honey ham buddig meat and cheese with that. I also remembered to bring snacks today. Mini carrots and also took out of the freezer a Dole pre portioned cup of sliced strawberries.

we'll have to see how it works today and if I'll feel hungry later on.


I had my Dole strawberries for snack before lunch.  I thought I might want to get that sweet taste out of my mouth before I ate since it seems to make me want to eat more.  I did my ham wraps and pulled out some carrots to munch on.  Still drinking the 32 oz of soda so have that.  When I finish with that I will rinse out the cup and reuse it by filling it up with water.  That all leaves me with a peanut butter slider for snack around 3 and more carrots if needed.  I'll see how it works out tonight.



Dinner tonight was leftovers.  I used the leftover veggies from last night that was mixed with salsa and then chopped up one of the chicken breasts from last night.  Nuked it and had it on a 90 cal tortilla with a slice of pepperjack cheese.  It was pretty good but I can already tell that it won't last me the night.  It's not even six PM and I'm still a little hungry.  I am even on my second 32 oz cup of water!
