quesadilla with ital fontina and sliced sicilian olives

lime ade and water, say at 1:4, with ice, x 2

roasted some raw almonds - two cups almonds tossed with two tablespoons olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, three shakes of medium chile pepper powder, three shakes of penzeys garlic (that has no salt), about, oh, 3/4 tsp cumin powder - at 175 for 20 minutes to keep the almond oil from breaking down.

And a graph!

Really, you all are amazing.

only remember it involved a bowl of minestrone and, later, 4, count 'em, 4, chinese hawaiian bbq pork ribs

Thank you -- one thing about the graph is a lil misleading as it shows when I made goals. But I have gone up on occasion so it's not just a straight shot down by any means.

whatever day it is/264/-3.6

(Every morning I have at least 2 cups of coffee with soy french vanilla creamer. This is the one thing I have every day that I do not calorie count. Its my daily indulgence. But all in all it probably gives only 100 calories a day)

1 container of yogurt

2chicken+cheese+spinach wraps in wheat tortillas

grapes
1 bananna
1beer

I found a bubbly water at HEB that I love and I drank probably 3 of those. They have no calories/no sugar/ no nothing.. LOVE them!

I did not eat enough yesterday. I was so busy I just forgot to eat
Remember I painted my closet the day before.
Well yesterday was putting all that stuff back, cleaning up after the weekend mess and sorting and throwing pots and pans.
Busy, busy day

scrambled eggs (3) and small sausage patties

maple-frosted scone (that was lunch -- I'm just a slave to nutrition)

ginger-molasses cookie

banana

vodka martini
dinner roll
cup of clam chowder
3-cheese scrod
onion strings
cole slaw

23/171.2/-0.4

Having read the previous posts, I am now officially embarrassed to be
posting here. I gotta get my act together.

day 22, no weighing

2 coffees with lowfat milk, total 1.5 tsp sugar

mystery package of pasta, thawed: turned out to be cavatappi with lots of rapini and sm amount of anchovies, lots of garlic, olive oil, crushed red pepper pods and a bunch of mozzarella, microwaved. Rapini can be fairly bitter so I figure most people would spit this out, but I like it, just not all the time. With the red pepper, it makes even me blink.

1/4 cup or so of spicy almonds, described recently

1/2 miso 1/2 beef broth with forbidden rice (black), celery, chopped scallions, and a tub of tofu, cubed - but had one bowl, not the whole thing. Dark black soup, one has to be in the mood...

finished off second bottle of perrier. Not buying that again, even on sale; prefer gerolsteiner or pellegrino - they have much more in the way of minerals and I like both their taste and their ebullient fizziness.

raw walnuts and chocolate chips

left over coffee (1/4 cup?) and lowfat milk on ice for bedtime (!) Didn't keep me awake.

Travels and parties are over. Serious paying attention commenses. Today is a new day one and I'm going to start anew. Unfortunately it starts with that damn 8 in the middle -- a sure motivator if ever there was one.

0/180/0

Sunday

B: 2 plums, ff cottage cheese

L: 2 hb eggs, broccoli slaw, more cottage cheese

S: dates

D: chicken cacciatore (w/tons of veggies), whole wheat couscous

S: air popped popcorn w/a little evoo

lots of water & probably too much Crystal Light peach tea during the day

E: walked an hour before it got too hot

21/172.4/-0.2 - I weigh in tomorrow, not expecting a loss.

Here's my chart. It's not as pretty (or as impressive a slope!) as jes's, but then I'm no excel geek, god knows...

I started at 289.4 in May 2005 and my current official weight is 172.4. Low weight of the last 30 years or so was 169.4 on 7/1/08. My goal is 160.

I'm impressed as all get out, Mac11. Really. Very steady losses without any of MY roller-coaster lines. nice work.

I think I missed a day. Oh yes, pub-crawl Sunday, yes.... . There was a cheeseburger involved. and several Margaritas/Martinis/ Mariana Riveras, can't remember. OH. I had a salad with chicken when we were down by the riverside. (DAh dum) down by the riv...(o shut up) Piece of cheesecake during the volleyball watching. I was up about 2.5 pounds. Thank god for long run Monday.
