March 3, 2010 - Day 59

Wow, for some reason I was really hungry today. Nothing seemed to satisfy me, and I just kept wanting to eat. Hmph. :/

For breakfast

1 cup of coffee w/vanilla creamer (70 calories; 2 points)

3/4 multi-grain english muffin (110 calories; 2 points)

1 Kashi trail mix bar (140 calories; 2 points)

For lunch

Water

Leftover penne w/peppers and sausage (250 calories; 5 points)
* I have to say that I love this meal more every time I eat it. So yummy!

For dinner

Water

Pasta w/marinara sauce, meatballs, peppers, and zucchini (500 calories; 9 points)
* This is a guess. I think it might be a little bit of an overestimate, but I'd rather go over in my estimates

Cabbage + 2 tsps of ceasar dressing (50 calories; 1 point)

Snacks

Diet hot chocolate (25 calories; 0 points)

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

1 piece of dark chocolate (57 calories; 1 point)

So for today it's roughly:

Total Calories: 1342 - Wow, I sure ate a lot today. Like I said above, I was just so hungry today, and I'm not sure why.

Total WW Points: 25

Total flex points left for week: 31 of 35

Days left in flex points week (after today) : 5

Exercise

150 ab crunches

No Zumba today. :( I think this week is going to be bad (i.e. a few pounds will be added on to my weight instead of being subtracted). I'm off to a conference tomorrow until Sunday. And I'm pretty sure it's going to be difficult to eat low calories/low fat food. Oh well. At least there's a fitness room at the resort I'm going to, so that's something at least. :)

January 17, 2010 - Day 14

I'm a little late in posting yesterday's events. Perhaps it's because of what happened yesterday:

My day -

For breakfast

1 banana (90 calories; 1 point)

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

It started off well, then we went out to the Olive Garden to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. Bad move on my part.

For lunch

1 serving of Olive Garden salad (350 calories; 8 points)
* There is 26 grams of fat in 1 serving of this salad!!! I went to their website and was flabbergasted! People go in their for the soup and salad, and probably think they are being really healthy. Holy cow!

1/2 mozzarella triangle (165 calories; 4 points)

1/4 serving of Shrimp Manicotti (260 calories; 5 points)
* This is less then 1 serving of the salad!!!

1/2 breadstick (75 calories; 1 point)

Water

For dinner

1 serving of dinty moore stew (210 calories; 5 points)

1 serving of egg noodles (210 calories; 4 points)

Water

Snacks

1 serving of Total in skim milk (140 calories; 2 points)

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

Total Calories (roughly): 1570. Yeah, that sucked. I'm shooting for 1400 or lower. Oh well.

Total WW Points: 31. YIKES! But... I went and looked at my flex points for the week, and I'm okay. Granted I'm not sure how many points I consumed yesterday, but I'm pretty sure that my stew w/one dumpling wasn't more than 10 points. So, I'm just treating yesterday like I was on target with 19 points. So, even with today's debacle, I'm still actually under pace, meaning that I have 12 flex points left for the rest of the week (which is only 2 more days).

Exercise
Nothing. Yeah, I need to get back to working out.

January 15, 2010 - Day 12

Oh, today was bad. Real bad. Take a look-sees:

For breakfast

1 english muffin w/reduced fat margarine (180 calories; 5 points)

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

So, it started off alright. But then, I stepped on the scale and noticed I wasn't losing any weight, so instead of getting re-affirmed to stick to my diet, I went the other way. Maybe it was all the rain today. Or maybe it was the incessant TV watching.

For lunch

1/2 pound of on-top-of the stove macaroni and cheese (900 calories; 18 points)

Water

Yeah, that wasn't a typos folks. One half frickin' pound of pasta! The only saving grace (and it's a small one for sure) is that is was the low-carb pasta.

I'm not real sure what happened. I mean, seriously. I was just going to eat 1 serving, and before you know it. Bam! It's all gone. I should not be allowed to eat this meal again without supervision. I love it too much! Ask my husband - I will eat it until I feel sick. That's not good, right?

And the best part? That I didn't even get off my lazy ass to go to the gym, because I was too busy watching a Friday Night Lights marathon. I did do 250 crunches on my ab-lounger. Big whoop.

The upside of eating so much food is that I wasn't really hungry for dinner. So, all I had was a bowl of cereal.

For dinner

1 serving of Cheerios in skim milk (140 calories; 2 points)


Total Calories (roughly): 1255

Total WW Points: 26 - although this is only over my 2 points for my day, I'm actually within my week's points, since I hadn't used a lot of my flex points. But seriously, 70% of the points came at lunch. Damn. I'm pretty sure that's not the way to lose weight, not to mention the lack of fruit, vegetables, and protein in my diet today. Double damn.

Oh, yeah, this was not the healthiest of days for sure.
