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.
