Cannon's Journal

Well I am definitely on the right side of 40 and feeling really good about it. I have two other big goals right around the corner with 10% of my original weight and 50 pounds lost. Saturdays are tough. I did my grocery shopping this morning and I made a homemade cheeseburger for lunch. I put it on a wheat bun, but I got some real tastey smoked jack cheese instead of diet cheese. I bought ground round and made a .2 pound burger. Now that I do the calorie math though I'm guessing it was only about 450 calories tops. Mmm, tastey too. I have been trying to do fruits and veggies today as well for the challenge. I know I'll be doing pizza tonight I just wish I knew how many squares were in a slice.
 
Love pizza! We made some the other night using pitas for the crust, and I used grilled chicken breast instead of the usual pizza meat. Pretty tasty!

Congratulations on passing 40! That's so awesome! 10% is so close:)
 
Hey Cannon,

About the treadmill dread, I use music to make time pass. If I remember correctly you are a musiclover too, so maybe that will help. I just loose track of time once I have my music...
I can also see a lot has happend since I last stopped by: a lot of congrats from here for you doing so well. (Especially eating more fruit and veggies, though it seem small its been a long way coming)
Hope you have a great day tomorrow.
 
cannon I find things I make at home always seems to have less calories than things from the burger shops and such. your doing great keep it up, you'll be passing me soon.
 
Wow! Thanks for all the support. I liked the cheeseburger so much I made another one today and I made Lamb Chops for dinner. I added some veggies to both meals and few pita garlic chips and a 100 calories snack bag and a scoop of Mint Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream. I'll come in today around 1200 calories, but it was a pretty enjoyable eating day. I am going to go visit some diaries now. What I don't get to today, I'll get to tomorrow.
 
Hey Cannon,

You are making me hungry here, talking about food... Especially that Ice cream of yours, sounds tasty- not sure I would be able to stop at one scoop:) Anyway everything looks to be in order with you, so just keep it up and have a nice day.
 
I've found that when I cook at home, I can make it as healthy or as naughty as I want.

Have you tried playing with seasoning? I put together a burger the other day with a can of green chilis, a thing of taco seasoning, some onions and mixed all that with a lb. of very lean ground beef. Then I added a bit of shredded cheese and some low fat sour cream to the bun, Taco burger! You could pat them out into individual patties, slip some wax paper between them and then freeze them for later! Really good with chili seasoning too...

Ok, I've just gone off on a burger tangent, lol :eek:
Keep up the great work!! ;)
 
I think I'm following pequin around the board lol.... anywho sounds like your doing awesome!! Keep up the good work and have a great day!
 
Thanks everybody for stopping by! I definitely have to try those taco burgers. Today, was a bad day in a good week and I've decided to accept it. My breakfast was Muselix and Skim Milk which is just fine. We ordered out for lunch and I showed restraint. I got the Minestrone soup and had bread and butter with it. At a faculty meeting they were giving everybody fun size candy bars and I had a Butter Finger and a Baby Ruth (350 calories ouch). I know I should have said no, but geez I would have had 6-8 of them before. I went to a dinner party and the host considers himself a bit of a gourmet and everybody there was working on their weight. The dinners he cooks are usually very healthy. Well this time he had steak with a herb butter and gorgonzola topping, a dinner roll and 4 small buttered potatoes. There was also ice cream and biscotti for desert. I ate it all. I enjoyed it and looking back on it I can't think of a better choice (though I can think of less caloric ones). I will accept a bad day this week and move on. I hope everybody else is doing well.
 
Great attitude Cannon, I aspire to be more like you! Candy bars...yummm...I mean, glad you showed restraint! :D Sleep tight and have a great Wednesday!
 
Hey Cannon... sometimes u need a bad day to jumpstart your body for more weightloss! Dun fret and just drink more water / green tea to flush out regularly.

(The food u had for dinner sounds real good.. :p lol)
 
oooo.. dinner sounds soo yummy! Can I be your friend and you take me to dinners like that?! Let's be naughty together! ;) lol. Great attitude. Pinky's right sometimes you just need to splurge to get metabo going.
