January 24, 2010 - Day 21

What a rainy day it was today. This equaled no motivation to go to the gym. I'll go tomorrow, for sure. I did make some pulled pork for the first time ever, which got my house smelling really nice! Too bad how many calories are in it, although there's also a lot of protein which is good!

For breakfast

1/2 cup of coffee w/vanilla creamer (35 calories; 1 point)

For lunch

1 turkey sandwich with fat-free mayo and romaine lettuce on multi-grain bread (160 calories; 3 points)

A few pieces of pear (20 calories; 0 points)

Water

For dinner

1 serving of pulled pork (573 calories; 12 points)
* I'm actually flabbergasted at how many points this is. And this time it pretty much all came from the calories. Jeesh. At least my pulled pork was awesome!

1 small corn on the cob (70 calories; 1 point)

Water

Snacks

Diet hot chocolate (25 calories; 0 points)

A 90 calorie snack pack (90 calories; 2 points)

1 serving of cheerios in skim milk (140 calories; 3 points)

Total Calories (roughly): 1113

Total WW Points (roughly): 22

Flex points left: 14

Exercise

100 ab crunches

January 6, 2010 - Day 3

I thought it'd be interesting to track the number of calories I am eating each day. These are rough numbers that I am getting from either online or the package of the food I cooked. I figured if I was tracking my food, I should try and see if I can keep the numbers of calories I intake under the number of calories I should be eating. Now I went online and found out that for my lifestyle (I put sedentary, although I am trying to [slowly] change that) I should be ingesting about 1615 calories to maintain a weight a 130 lbs. Now, I'm not 130 pounds yet, but since that's where I want to be, I figured I would use that number of calories as my target! (Note that Cam had to go find another site that said that if I weighted 148 pounds and wanted to weigh 130 pounds, then to lose 1 pound a week I'll need to intake only about 1400 calories a day. Yuck. I'll have to decide on that one. For now the magic number is 1615.)

My food day:

For breakfast

1 cup of Quaker Instant oatmeal, golden brown sugar variety (200 calories)

1/4 cup of coffee w/vanilla creamer (30 calories)

For lunch

1 piece of breaded pork loin (360 calories)

1 cup of sauteed butternut squash and cauliflower (168 calories)

Water

Yay! I ate leftovers! Woo-hoo!!! :)

For dinner

3 pieces of kielbasa (510 calories)
* Slow-cooked in sauerkraut

1 cup of steamed broccoli (54 calories)

Water

Snacks

4 tablespoons of trail mix (213 calories)

1/2 cup of coffee w/vanilla creamer (35 calories)

1/2 stick of string cheese (45 calories)

Total Calories (roughly): 1615 (On target!)

Exercise
Nothing really. I did housework all day, plus 100 ab-crunches on my ab lounger.
