Weekly Weigh-In 12/21/08

As you can guess by the fact that I haven’t posted food journals most of the week, I felt like I was having a pretty rough week—busy and I ate out about 70% of my meals this week. But I did try to be “good” whenever I ate out, ordering a salad or grilled salmon [...]

Tuesday 12/16/08 Food Journal

Can you believe it’s only nine days till Christmas?
Breakfast
Second half of the frittata from yesterday
Hot tea
Lunch
Met a friend at Chili’s, and I was so good! I ordered the “Guiltless Grill” salmon, which came with black beans and (barely) steamed broccoli (enough to get them wet but not really enough to even soften them). [...]

Elevensies (got a late start this morning)
Ham & Cheese Frittata
2 whole eggs + 1 egg white, whisked until frothy; stir in 1 piece lean ham, diced; 1/4 cup shredded fat-free Cheddar cheese; salt & pepper to taste. Poured into a small, greased (olive oil–flavored non-stick cooking spray) round Pyrex bowl (the kind with a flat [...]

Weekly Weigh-In 12/14/08

Remember how last week I said that I thought I was doing okay with food choices without planning/tracking (and parenthetically how the scale at WW might call me a liar)? Well, I definitely didn’t do as well as I thought—I was up 1.4 lbs. this week. I have no excuses to make, just [...]

Saturday’s Challenge

Yes, I know, this isn’t a food journal entry either, but I am actually doing okay with food this week (of course, the truth or fiction of that will be revealed at my weigh-in on Sunday!).
What I am posting about is the challenge I’ll face tomorrow: a Christmas Brunch for MTCW. I love brunches, buffets, [...]

Paving Roads with Good Intentions

I started out this week with the best of intentions to blog my food journal daily. Which, being as that it’s Thursday and the last post on here is from Monday (though I do have a “draft” of Tuesday’s food journal saved somewhere in my post list), obviously the intention wasn’t intentional enough.
As I mentioned [...]

Monday 12/8/08 Food Journal

Look at me! I’m starting off my day right by starting my food journal post! I know a lot of people might be scandalized that the first thing I do when I get up in the morning is turn on the computer is check e-mail and Facebook and write on my blogs, but since I [...]

Weekly Weigh-In 12/07/08

In my most recent post (below), I reported that when I weighed in on Wednesday (12/3), I was up 4.2 pounds. My goal for today’s weigh-in was to have shaved off as much of that as I could so that I could get back to work on getting my 25 lb. keychain and then hitting [...]

I’m a High-Fat, High-Carb Addict

Coming back after a holiday is always rough . . . especially when the scale at WW showed a 4.2 pound gain on Wednesday. Ugh. It really ticks me off that one week off program (and a couple too many servings of pasta, bread, and cookies) not only stops my weightloss momentum, it completely derails [...]
