B: Puffins and Cheerios mixed with Skim Milk
Orange
((1st training sess: lift))
S: Venti White Mocha
Choc Biscotti
L: 3 egg omlet with spinach, mushrooms, and feta.
1 piece toast with pnut butter
S: 4 pieces string cheese
orange
2 granola bars
((2nd Practice: Steady State))
D: Spinach salad with Light Asian, Feta, and Sunflower Seeds
Peach Yogurt
Choc Milk
Bowl of Puffins with Milk


Analysis: My snack was freaking huge (second one). Freaking out of control. I was super hungry though. I guess lifting does that. I should have probably gone with carrots or other veggies instead of a second granola bar. The coffee stuff this morning was a reward for loss. I do this thing where if I lose for that week, I get starbucks. I know most people think its bad to reward with food but...that's just what I do. I aim for about 2800 cals a day and have been losing on this so far so go me. I feel like my carbs and protein were okay and I made my goal of 5 servings of produce for the day. Go me. Again, need variety in snackage and the coffee is not a daily thing so I should be fine.

Addendum: So, unfortunately, some people came over and I ate chips and salsa. Should not have done this, as this is an added 250 cals that I didn't need. Good. I can't do this anymore. Could have been worse; however, this kind of nonsense haults/hinders progress. Will take it and move on.

B: Big bowl of banana nut cheerios and skim milk
S: piece of string cheese
L: PBJ
goldfish
granola bar
((wow, that looks like the lunch of a six year old...zero nutritional value...x_X ))
S: 160 cal cookies
strawberries
a little bit of dried mango
a few cashews
D: Piece Peppercorn Chicken
strawberries
Puffins and milk
Big mistake Snack: more cookies
Puffins with milk

Analysis: Why do I keep overdoing? I'm only a little bit over (like 200) calorie total; however, there are no nutrients in what I've been eating. Problems,problems, problems. This can't keep going on. I ate so many carbs, crazy amounts of sugar, and zip veggies. Not a good situation. Atleast, I wasn't way over cal total so it could have been worse and I got a lot of fruit in. Need to limit my cereal consumption and cookies. The cookies may be low cal but if I can't control myself, than I can't have them in the house. Grrr...tomorrow is another day and so long as I don't snack again anymore tonight than the situation won't be too bad. This is going to be a long process.

Alcohol...so much alcohol. Went out and got shittanked. Not good. Feel sick now and major headache. So yesterday was a fail...for sure. I just hope I don't gain this week. That would suck.

L: Pasta noodles topped with this awesome trader joe's sweet chili sauce, sasame seeds, and cashews
small handful cashews
piece of muenster cheese
S: Few pieces of dried mango
strawberries in cottage cheese
D: Peppercorn chicken
chocolate milk
black beans and rice
cookie
cashews

Analysis: Pretty good day; however, need more veggies. Got to get to the store to buy some. On the plus side, have been eating tons of fruit and this is an improvement from yesterday for sure. I'm not sure how much of breakfast was actually consumed due to last night's symptoms could not keep anything down. Enough said. I hope that my deficit today counters any damage done from excess alcohol cals yesterday. Practice was pretty intense today so I'm glad I went carb heavy.

Black beans with rice
leg of peppercorn chicken
D: Piece of baybel cheese
Rice with cream of chicken soup and a tablespoon sweet chili sauce
Piece of toast with peanut butter

Analysis: Still extremely lacking in veggies. Bad, I know. I didn't even hit my fruit deal. Wow...not good. Anywho, this coming week will be the week of carbs, as we are traveling and I decided to bring all of my food with me because I refuse to eat out all of the time. Luckily, I switched to brown rice instead of white, that way I can get some fiber in. My calories have been alright though so that's good. I'm trying to keep that down and get some protein in there amongst the sea of carbs, that is my diet this week. I won't be weighing this week as we are gone during my weigh day. Hopefully though next weigh day I'll be sub 190, if I can control my freaking self this week and not go wild with food stuffs. :) Hurray.

Analysis: Wow, this is probably one of the worst days I've had thus far. Granted, this is not nearly as bad as what a bad day would have been, had I not written things down. Today was just blah. We were racing so I had pbj every second, as that's what you eat on race days and the sonic? We stopped and I decided to eat junk. Oh well...will be better tomorrow.

Analysis: Bad, bad, bad. Funny thing is though, I wasn't too far above my cals. In fact, I was about 100 over. Still...there was no nutritional value. Especially in that last snack. I need to limit that nutella deal or I can't have it because that stuff can get out of control right quickly. Weigh in should be interested this Wed.

Analysis: Should be under my calorie goal and am excited because I will finally be heading home so I can eat a larger variety of food and not the same old same old I've been eating out of the hotel. I hope I've lost weight within these two weeks. I may have cheated and saw yesterday that I did; however, after eating out last night, the scale jumped up almost a pound-only a few ounces lighter than last time. Hopefully, that was just water retention or something because there's no way I overate by 3500 calories. That would just be rediculous. I know last night was rough but not THAT rough. Silly. Anywho, looking forward to going home where I can eat veggies and meat stuffs. Hurray! Did super well this week rowing and won two events-hoosha! So that was excitement. I found out most girls on my team are five pounds less than me. I know I'm getting to my initial summer goal weight; however, I still feel huge. I've lost a lot but I don't feel any different. Grrrr....maybe by the tiime I hit 175? The possible final goal....possible because most weigh around 175-180 and my goal was always 185 but with 5-6 pounds left to lose, I don't feel 185 is small enough to stop. However, I wouldn't be ashamed of 185 the way I would of 190. 185 is way out of 200. 190? Too close to 200. 185 would be okay. I could live with that. I could say that and not feel ashamed/feel the need to lie about my weight. Rant off. Anywho, looking forward to veggies. Have been doing well with portion control and not going on an eating rampage. Except yesterday. Gooooo me! I remember how I used to be when I'd eat out/eat something I liked. Totally out of control. I'd get full and just keep going because I liked the taste. Not the way to go. Now I've realized that I can eat foods I like, just stop before I get full. That way I can eat good things, not go over calories, not feel sick, and stop feeling deprived. I really don't know why I hadn't figured this out earier. If you can't enjoy the food you're eating because you are started to feel so sick you can't move, why eat it? Its not enjoyable its just packing in excess food, which results in packing in excess fat. Fun...not. This is just one of the many epiphanies I've had in the past couple months or so. Again, go me. :) I can lose weight on 2800 cals and good structuring.
 
B: peach
coffee
cereal with milk
S: dried mango
cashews
L: 12 inch meatball sub
S: 3 rice cakes with nutella
D: grilled potato topped with squash and broccoli
4 oz grilled steak
cookie

Analysis: So, I finally got some veggies and I'm pretty sure i hit my calorie goal. I went a tad crazy with the nutella though. Good thing is, the stuff is almost gone. Water wasn't where I'd have liked it to be. Probably why I constantly felt so hungry. I'm getting nervous for my weigh-in because I'd really like to be below 190 or atleast 190. If I gain, I'll be pretty pissed, as the scale has been showing me 190 and something for the past couple of mornings and now tonight I see 194.2. Perhaps its just from all the food of the day, seeing as I weigh right when I wake up. Anywho, it just needs to stop and do as I say...lol...Need to keep up water intake and hit veggies. Going grocery shopping tomorrow and am planning on buying my fave baby spinach. :)
 
Hey K. I've been reading your daily list and I think it's obvious that you know what's missing and what's wrong with it. :)

One thing I'd like to suggest to you, to help out, is that you sit down the night before and plan out what you're going to eat and include lots of healthy veggies and things in your plan. I think when you plan out your meals and snacks ahead of time, it makes it easier to stick to healthy eating. :)q
 
Thanks so much for your help, Kara. Yeah, I've always kind of had issues getting in the veggies I need. I'm trying to work on that though. Anywho, as for today...

B: honey and steamed milk
kiwi
peanutbutter on toast
L: spinach salad with asian, sunflower seeds, and feta
PBJ
apple
S: veggie chips (not vegetables but somewhat better than potato chips)
piece of baybel
D: rice with tomato soup and feta
2 spoons nutella (bad)

I'm trying to figure in ways to work in veggies...I suppose I could get some cut carrots and eat that instead of the baybel or veggie chips. Also stirfrying some zuchini and puting that on top of my rice instead of the feta and tomato soup. I have finally resolved to throwing away the nutella because, lets face it, cannot handle that. Not good. Still nervous for weigh-in Wed.
 
I'm a big fan of spinach in just about everything. I probably go through 3-4 bunches of spinach or baby spinach a week. I chop it up and put it in smoothies (really, it doesn't change the taste, although it can turn the color a bit). I chop it up and put it in pasta sauce, casseroles, omelets or fritattas, just about anything. It makes it really easy to get in an extra serving (or two) of nutrient rich veggie.

I also make sure I eat an apple every day for one of my snacks.

Another favorite of mine is to do a big mixed-veg stir fry one night for dinner - I mean really huge, with broccoli, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, cabbage or chinese cabbage ... pretty much anything in the crisper gets thrown in. Then I have 1/2 for dinner with some grilled chicken breast or fish and I take the other 1/2 with me to work the next day for lunch.

Oh, another thing I do is make cabbage soup. Not like the stupid boring cabbage soup diet, but I take some chicken broth and then cook cabbage, mushroom, carrots, celery, a little garlic, and a few pepper flakes for a really nice spicy flavor. It's a really light soup that works well for lunches and gives you a good 2 servings of veggies (or more).
 
Thanks for the ideas! I too love baby spinach and go through 1.5-2 bags a week. Good stuff. Am still working on it and hopefully will hit veggie goals soon.

B: puffins with milk
S: chocolate milk
1 piece bread with peanut butter and jam on it
L: spinach salad with feta, asian, sunflower seeds
piece baybel
veggie chips with salsa and sour cream
S: 10 squares chocolate (x.X WAY way bad!!! not good-must not eat much for rest of day. feel i ruined my weigh in for tomorrow.)
D: piece baybel
apple
PBJ
milk
S: piece of bread with jam

So hopefully the chocolate won't put me over the edge. I'd be fine if I had eaten 3 squares. But ten?!? That's just crazy talk. Anywho, am hoping for the best. Would really love to be in the 190with decimals. More so into the 180s but I'm going to take this one pound at a time. Granted, I want to be at 185 by August 19....which means I need a two pound loss somewhere in these next 4 weeks.

Weigh-in Wed.
Last week: 191.8
This week: 191.4
Darn. Really wanted to hit 190; however, a loss..even if it is miniscule is still better than gaining or even hitting the same number. I know what I have to tweak this time and will hit 190, if not 189 next week for sure. :) Can be done. This is a process. Have decided to eat less this week. Going for 3 meals with one snack and if I'm still hungry after that...oh well, tough luck. We'll see how this goes.

B: puffins with milk
S: coffee
chocolate ( i threw away the rest of my chocolate because obviously I cannot handle it-so no more)
L:spinach salad with feta, sunflower seeds, and asian
jam sandwhich
Baybel
D: handful of veggie chips while cooking
pasta with chili sauce, feta, and sesame seeds
cookie

Okay, so in order to hopefully get my stuff together and under control, I have planned out what I will eat today. It is written down and I will write as I go what I actually eat. Kara suggested this and she's had a lot of success...so it must work. I figured I would try doing this for two days at a time. Hopefully this can be good. I planned today for two snacks because I'm going double session training and that can be afforded. I figure if I eat at the right times, I will not be hungry because my calories are high enough, they just have to be used wisely.

B: puffins with milk
S: peanut butter spoon
kiwi
L: spinach salad with asian, feta, and sunflower seeds (This is probs my fave food..ever...love,love, love baby spinach)
jam sandwhich (probably used more jam than I should have)
S: rice cake with almond butter
baybel
D: (I had a super breakfast dinner, as I love breaky food but can never eat like this in the am)
2 overeasy eggs
slice buttered toast
1.5 small pan fried (in canola) potato
cookie
