Is This Thing On? Food journal 11-1-10

Hi folks, it's been a while... a long while. I have been doing well with maintaining my 90ish pound weight loss but for these past few weeks, I've been finding things challenging to say the least. Halloween certainly didn't help, fun and friends equals candy and pizza and a bit of alcohol so for the next four days (at least) I know that I need to journal my food intake. So... here goes...

1-11-10
Breakfast
Grape nuts 175
.25 cup Fiber One "twigs" 30
1 cup skim + milk 100
305

Snack
2 clementines 75
string cheese 60
135

Lunch
Whole grain wrap 100
3 oz "pulled BBQ Chicken" 150
Yogurt 130
TJ's low-sodium soup 100
1 can pineapple 140
1 piece sea salt chocolate 50
670

Snack
30 gms Paul Newman pretzels 120
Laughing cow cheese 35
No sugar added peaches 60
215

Dinner
(We went to McDonald's because it was a fundraiser for The Son's school. I tried to make a "healthier choice" but it's VERY difficult to do at McD's because of the sodium.)
Grilled chicken sandwich 420
small fries (can't resist) 230
Side salad 40
my own dressing 100
croutons 60
850

This is embarassing to write but I came home and had a slice of pizza which I estimate at about 300 calories and then I had my standard dessert of vita top muffin with light ice cream on it. About 380 calories ... Let's hope that Cycling class really DID burn 800+ calories!

Daily total
2855

Had a great cycling workout this morning and when I investigated the calories burned, a couple different sites say over 800! REALLY? I might have to keep doing this spinning thing.

Food for Monday, January 18, 2010

Hello All! I am back to blogging my food, at least for the next three days until I get weighed again on Thursday. My weight loss total is 86.4 pounds. I am only 10 pounds away from a "healthy" BMI. I know that BMI is just a guide but at this point in time, it's the best guide we have to gauge our health, in my opinion.

I have lots of weight management classes forming and it looks like I am going to be one very busy nutritionist. It means that I might have to start getting to the gym at 5AM, not really happy about that but I have to work out and it would be nice to just get it over and done with each day. If all pans out, I will have...

One large class on Mondays at lunch, A small class on Tuesdays at lunch that we hope to grow into a larger class, volunteering in The Son's classroom every other Wednesday and teaching swimming on Wednesday evenings, A medium class on Thursday afternoons, a class that I attend on Thursday afternoons and a large class on Thursday evenings, two classes on Saturday mornings... phew! That's a lot! This would have to be my limit!

Anyway... here's the food for today:

Breakfast/Morning snack
1 cup Fiber One Raisin Clusters 170
3/4 cup skim plus milk 83
1 High Fiber English Muffin 100
1 T. Light Butter 50
Breakfast Total 403

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.

I took a break from logging my food on this blog, it's just been so hectic these days. More or less, I journal but I will admit, I had to take a break from that too for a bit. I'm back on it for the next two days at least and then probably off for Christmas and on again a bit after that. I am not however, going to be journaling on here. I am using my fitday.com account because it's just so convenient and easily calculates my calories for me. I will be back to blogging my food and hopefully improving this blog in 2010. I'll make that my resolution since I don't need the typical resolution, I'm already living healthy.

I am down a total of 83.8 pounds and will be reaching my goal of 100+ total in 2010. It's so exciting! Have a great holiday to anyone who actually reads this blog and I'll be posting on my regular blog over the next couple weeks.
