Monday:

Breakfast:nutri grain bar(apple cinn)
snack: slim fast bar
lunch: (didnt really have lunch just had 2 graham crackers)
dinner: small amount of zesty italian hamburger helper.

I know it doesnt sound like i ate very much but i wasnt hungry. thats one thing i taught myself to do is not eat when im not hungry. it was hard because when i was home and bored what did i do? i ate. now i try to do something else to take my mind off of food when im bored.
im out of ideas as to what to eat, seems like i eat the same boring stuff all the time. anyone have any ideas?

Jewels, here is the recipe:

One tortilla, smeared with low fat peanut butter, and sprinkled with Grape Nuts cereal. Roll it up, and heat it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.

By the way -- i absolutely HATE HATE HATE Grape Nuts Cereal, but it is good with the roll-up.

Hope you like it, Jewels!!!

Angel -- I signed up with eDiets, and they have the most AMAZING recipes if you even remotely like to cook. I am a pretty lame cook, but the recipes are easy and fast. I haven't gotten bored with any of the recipes yet. I just can't cook anything on Mondays and Tuesdays so I have a boring menu.


Today

Breakfast: Waffles, lite syrup, ricotta cheese, watermelon
Lunch: Lean Cuisine Chicken dish, yogurt, apple
Dinner: this is bad, but I ate part of a cold calzone...I hadn't eaten in 7 hours and was about to eat the steering wheel in my car

Today:
english muffin
2 breakfast patties
cheese
LC cheese ravioli
2 chocolate chip cookies (stress eating!)
pasta w/ a bit of olive oil, pesto seasoning, and veggies
2 Frangos

Exercise: 30 minutes on the bike for 7.1 miles (furthest I've gone in 30 minutes so far)

Met with the hospital staff today. They don't want mom going back to assisted living because she needs special meals (pureed so she won't choke) and more attention than they can provide there. I have to find an adult foster care placement for her. I'm working with an agency to do that. Tomorrow, the new president of our company is in town, so it's dog and pony show day for me. I'm REALLY battling the desire to eat nothing but pasta and chocolate! Didn't win today.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day! :)

Good news!
Despite my recent stress eating, at today's weigh-in point I lost 2 pounds.

I'm now back to where I was before Valentine's Day (that darned day is worse than Christmas for me!) with a solid 40-pound loss. 99 more to go! WOO HOO! :)

Thank you Spy! It sounds great, I will have to try it out.

Great news, Max! Hang in there!

I'm still maintaining, had a rough week last week...I was sick and didn't have the energy for much exercise...but still had a healthy appetite. Luckily, it didn't transpire into any weight gain.

Hey guys I just lost 100 pounds, ,over 14 months(from 240 to 140). Wanna know the secret?

Wink

Saturday, March 09, 2002 - 11:01 am EditMoveDeleteIP
You dumped your signifigant other?

Jan

Saturday, March 09, 2002 - 11:12 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Well, that made me laugh anyway..but he wouldn't be much of a significant other at only 100 pounds so I guess I would be better off without him!

Wink

Saturday, March 09, 2002 - 11:16 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Jan. Okay how about you went from a 240lb. sig. other to a 140 pounder?123

The secret is that there is no secret to losing weight. There is no shortcut. I heard a dietician say that any of the popular diets will work because, if you measure any successful person on any one of them, you will find that they eat less than 1400 calories a day and, she went on to say that anyone eating less than 1400 calories a day would lose weight.

So that's what I did... pretty much zero exercise and under 1400 calories a day.I kept it low fat because that means more food for fewer calories and I kept it high fibre to keep those bowels moving.

The real secret is that I write down the calories for every piece of food/liquid that goes in my mouth every day and have since Sept. 2000. It works. I am maintaining the weight loss although now I eat 1800 calories a day.

Good luck to you all.

Wink, well even a 140 pound guy..no I don't think so. Too tiny for me!! I'd be afraid to squash him.

A Saga

And God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach and
green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long
and healthy lives.

And Satan created McDonald's. And McDonald's brought forth the 99-cent
double-cheeseburger. And Satan said to Man, "You want fries with that?"
And Man said, "Super size them." And Man gained pounds.

And God created the healthful yogurt, that woman might keep her figure
that man found so fair. And Satan froze the yogurt, and he brought forth
chocolate, nuts and brightly colored sprinkle candy to put on the yogurt.
And woman gained pounds.

And God said, "Try my crispy fresh salad." And Satan brought forth creamy
dressings, bacon bits, and shredded cheese. And there was ice cream for
dessert. And woman gained pounds.

And God said, "I have sent your heart healthy vegetables and olive oil
with which to cook them." And Satan brought forth chicken-fried
steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained pounds, and
his bad cholesterol went through the roof.

And God brought forth running shoes, and Man resolved to lose those
extra pounds. And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control
so Man would not have to toil to change channels between ESPN
and ESPN2. And Man gained pounds.

And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil."

And God brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and
brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and
sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fat fried them. And he
created sour cream dip also.

And Man clutched his remote control and ate the potato chips
swaddled in cholesterol. And Satan saw and said, "It is good."
And Man went into cardiac arrest.

And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.....

And Satan created HMOs...
