Ashys Diary

10 calories is hardly the end of the world- it got you through with minimal damage (you'll notice I did exactly the same thing yesterday). Well done!
 
Ah 10 calories is nothing! Congrats on really successful 6 days, that's fantastic! :)
Anyway, can't wait to see your plan for next week!
Have a great one hun,
xx
 
Wooooohooooooo- Well done on resisting temptation!

Diet drink are fiiiiiiine, don't worry about them. Its when your drinking sugary ones you have to worry. Theres 10 teaspoons of sugar in a can of coke eeeeek, now that can really fuck your diet up! I've been drinking black coffee recently to cut out the milk calories as I drink so much of it. I don't really like it black, hopefully I'll get used to it soon tho.
 
Thank you!! I appreciate the support. I normally don't care for burgers a lot. I'm not a big meat eater in general. I like it, but its just not what usually comes to mind. However, when I saw a hamburger stand I was like man I haven't had a Checker's burger in forever! Oh well. lol I'll have one again one day, but even if I was at my final goal weight and had a metabolism of an olympic athelete those things are still way bad for my body.

I am not worried about those 10 calories. I did brush it off. What I think is kinda bs though is the fda being ok with advertizing 0 calories when it has 2-3. I guess I have a scientific mind and 0 is not 2-3 and while it might be insignificant I still want to know! Grrr!

Finally finished my spreadsheet and went shopping this morning. For those that are curious I uploaded a screenshot of it. I do it in excel and when I copy and paste the formatting gets all screwed up. I don't mind sharing though. If you want to private message me your email address I'll send you the spreadsheet.

Also here are some links to what I am cooking. Because I have an infant I try to keep it simple.

For my salmon I do a lot of chili powder with moderate black pepper, and garlic powder.

I use cooking spray.

I do not butter my bread.
 
Yes, thank you, Sunflower. It keeps me from counting calories all the time and until I get used to portions and proper eating I need a guide line. Plus I hate going to the grocery store so this way I can get it done all at once.
 
Oh fantastic job at the menu! It's not a bad idea at all, I should definitely try to do it myself! :) Though it probably take you quite some time, eh?
Hihi the tortellini tomato spinach soup is something similar to what I had yesterday! Yum :D
Stay fab dear!! xx
 
It does take a bit of time, but the breakfast and lunches are pretty much repeats of what I had the day before. The thing that changes the most are my dinners.
The main reason why my other meals stay somewhat static is that I when I buy packages of something I really hate being wasteful so I make sure I use it before the expiration date.
I imagine after a few weeks I'll be able to just cut and paste a lot.
Imo its totally worth it.


So I just got back from applebees. I ate a shrimp and spinach garnished with pineapple chunksl with a glass of water for 310 calories. :) It was so freaking good!

I think what I am finding this go around is that I can eat plenty and stay within my limits! I think I failed previously because I wanted to keep eating how I had always been eating and tried to eat less of it. Thus, I would never get full and I would sit there fighting my urge to eat. I still have been thinking about those naughty deserts, but the though passes and I get involved in other things. I still have a snack to eat tonight. A nummy snack and some milk.

Life is good!:smilielol5:
 
i was just reading your 'about me' bit on your profiley thingy and OH! MY! GOSH! how busy must you be?! it's crazy how well you're doing! keep it up lovely! :D *admiration for ashy*
 
Well done on eating out so well!

I wish i could make a meal plan for the week and stick to it, I've tried many times, but it just doesn't work for me! Its a lot simpler sitting down for an hour or so a week than working it out than every day.

Aw thank you so much, Nemo! Its not that bad right now. It's summertime!

Thanks, Rainbow. It certainly doesn't work for everyone. It's no secret that I am a planner. I plan what I can. I like to stay "organizized" (Taxi Driver).

I lost a half pound. Yay :) I was hungry a bit before I fell asleep, but it wasn't anything I couldn't deal with. I just watched a little bit of tv and fell asleep.

It's official. I made it through my first week of real dieting! And I have had more energy and have been very happy the entire time just knowing that I am taking control of my situation. It definitely builds confidence.

I hope all of you are having a great day.
 
you re super!!!i really like that youre organized!im so messy...i mean...teribble...
They say , you can tell a lot about a woman just opening her handbag, or looking in her car...
Well my hanbag is ALWAYS full with EVERYTHING and my car most of the time is so messy im ebaressed when i get a red light next to a bus or truck...really i am!!!
I liked your recipies very much!and the apple in the microwave?so simple but never thought of that!!thanks!!
 
The microwaved apple was out of this world! I love apple pies. Eeven the cheap ones you by on the go.


And you are kind, Jasper! Thank you! Hey, its ok. I may not be messy, but my husband is! :) I might be too organized. That's just me though. My little quirk.

And I just cleaned his car yesterday. lol.
 
thanks ashy!!

that apple lookes so yummy!!!!!!
On what program do u use the microwave.
I have a button for the minutes
and a button that says Defrost.Low.Medium.Medium high.High
im having that tommorow!!!
 
You microwave it on high for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Then flip the apple pieces over and microwave for an additional 30 seconds.

Enjoy!
 
Well, had a great day. I stuck to my diet. Nothing new really to report. Screwed up on my damn veggies tonight though. I didn't cook the peppers right. Oh well. At least the salmon was good.
About to have my last snack for the evening and then its gaming time.
Have a nice evening!
