March 6, 2010 - Day 62

Conference day 3. Man they sure do pile on the food here. My weigh-in tomorrow is not going to go well I think. :D

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

1 clementine (40 calories; 0 points)

For lunch

3/4 of a turkey, cheese, and guacamole wrap

March 5, 2010 - Day 61

Conference day 2. I found the fitness center today. Can you believe that I woke up extra early (6am) to go there?! The conference started at 8:30 and went all day until 6pm. So, this was really the only time I could go if I was going to go.

For breakfast

1/2 cup of coffee w/non-fat dairy creamer & minimal sugar

1 Special K strawberry cereal bar (90 calories; 2 points)

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

For lunch

Water

Oh, this was a real mix. I had tofu; spinach salad w/oranges, dressing, and almonds; peppers; chicken; broccoli; and beef. This sounds like a lot and it probably was. But, there were little bits of everything. I think I was most impressed with the fact that I didn't take a roll, nor did I take dessert.

For dinner

Water

1/2 of a turkey, salami, prosciutto and cheese sandwich

1 small mocha gelato (132 calories; 3 points)
* This is compared to 280 calories and 14 g of fat in a small ice cream cone! And this was soooooo much tastier!!!

Snacks

A cup of mixed nuts

A half of banana muffin

2 bites of a banana

Guacamole and chips - probably should have skipped this one!

Exercise

About 35 minutes on an elliptical machine

Some free weights with the arms/legs

March 4, 2010 - Day 60

It's traveling day/conference day 1. This should be interesting as I'll have no idea what the caloric intake is. So, for the next few days I'll report what I ate, but not the total calories/points. I mean, I'll report the points/calories if I can, but I won't be making any guesses when I have no idea. I'm just going to try and make the best possible choices given the situation I'm in. At least I can go to the fitness center tomorrow. Yay!

For breakfast

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

1/2 of a banana (50 calories; 1 point)

For lunch

1/4 of a sandwich with roast turkey, stuffing, cranberries, and lettuce

Water

For dinner

An assortment of hors d'oeuvres (cantaloupe, watermelon, cheese, crackers, spinach wrap, berries, a piece of quesadilla)

A few sips of a margarita
