Everything Eaten Yesterday

Welcome, Thomas.
Write your whole day down (it's helped me not have that second brownie) and then post how many days you've been reporting/ your present weight/ and your net gain or loss.
See George's 9/172.8/+1.2

Days 7 & 8/still 172.6/0


First weigh-in for two weeks is tomorrow, and I'm up. Quite a bit. I'm blaming hormones, but that won't account for all of it. Ah well, I lost these pounds before, I can lose them again. I've been hitting the exercise pretty hard - it's really portion control that's the issue.



Couscous Salad recipe:

3/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups whole wheat couscous
Can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2/3 cup diced tomatoes
3 oz fat free feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
1/4 cup minced red onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Black pepper

Bring broth and water to a boil. Add couscous. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Combine couscous with remaining ingredients.

5 packs top ramen, YUMMEH!

Day 9: (154)/152/-2


1 cup Coffee, 1/2 tsp sugar

2 egg cheddar/mozzarella omelet

dilute (1:3) limeade x 2 - dilute because of all the sugar in that stuff. I mean to transition to bubbly water and lime or lemon, but I never have enough at hand so only do that sometimes.

marsala on lot of ice x 2

Heaping bowl of linguine with a tomato sauce (evoo, garlic, canned whole tomatoes & juice, sundried tomatoes, basil, sliced marinated artichokes, sliced "sicilian" olives, chopped marinated portobello mushrooms) topped with shredded dried fontina cheese.

bubbly water

handful raw almonds with some chocolate chips

Oops, yeah, 1608. 16080 would be a week and a half.

Breakfast:

* Muesli, consisting of half a pound pound of no-fat yogurt, ca. 1 espresso cup of rolled oats, ca. a quarter pound of blueberries.

Lunch:

* a quarter grilled chicken with veggie barlotto. (Barlotto is a name I made up for risotto with its rice replaced by barley.)
* a liter of water.

Dinner:

* skipped it: I'm not hungry today.

I've been traveling since Saturday. I ate what I ate and I'll step on the scale tomorrow <groan>.

1 egg omelet with wild mushrooms and chopped tomato from garden.
Iced coffee with milk and dash of cinnamon.

A handful of sungold cherry tomatoes while standing in garden.

Handful of blueberries while standing in garden.

A cookie that says it's made with healthy whole grains and feels like it.

2 yellow asian plums - store bought

The last piece of lacey swiss from the "good" deli.

2 slices bacon from a happy, organic pig with sliced garden tomato, romaine and gritty mustard on gritty whole wheat bread. Iced green tea.

A red tootsie roll lollipop the Fed Ex guy gave me.

More sungold cherry tomatoes.

Another one of those cookies mentioned above with another iced coffee, black.

A handful of cashews.

Dinner (my only real sit down meal): More wild mushrooms (mostly chanterelle and red bollete), garden peppers, garden tomatoes sauteed in olive oil with wild salmon over Dreamfields low-carb pasta. Green ice tea.

I'm about to go look in the freezer for an ice pop or one of those little sundae cups my nieces leave here because they say "there is never anything to eat at Auntie's house.

Ahem.


2 cups coffee/slight sugar

Biscuits and sausage gravy, half the dish, not a small dish, from Calico Cafe. (Rest of it larding it out in my fridge).

Dilute limeade x2.

2 biggish bowls salad - red lettuce, romaine lettuce, some diced cheddar cheese, sliced sicilian olives, canned black olives, many grape tomatoes (a drape of grape tomatoes?), flax seed, torn bits of sourdough bread and olive oil + squeezed lemon dressing.

And then Diane came over with an extra piece of coconut cream pie.. also presently in fridge.

I'm working on bourbon/chocolate milk/ice. Eyeing my new stash of fizzy water. Let's call that 2, planning ahead.

I may be having pie for breakfast.

I was right about today's weigh-in. Next week will look a lot better.
