Twiggyish | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 06:09 am     Breakfast: Cereal with no sugar Lunch: Spinach and whole wheat toast (I made a sort of sandwich with it) Supper: Broccoli and ground beef (a higher protein meal) Small portion I'm back on track with my diet. (I hope) |
Alib | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 06:10 am     Thanks Tess. Agreed - I will if you will! Weinermr - That is why I only get weighed once a week at the same time at the doctor's office (usually on Monday around 4 pm). This is for sure a weight gain and not just a fluctuation. The miracle is that I only gained 4 pounds! Thanks for the support. That is why I like coming here!! |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 06:13 am     Also, does anyone know about Splenda? It says it's sugar, but no calories? I wonder if this is a safe alternative. |
Jewels | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 07:45 am     After feeling so well yesterday morning, my day slowly went to pot. I haven't felt the greatest the last couple days and yesterday was no exception. I was on the couch most of the afternoon and evening and in bed by 8:30. My dear husband made dinner (hence, the wonderful choice). Ahhh, today, will be better...I hope! Yesterday: Breakfast: Cereal, latte Lunch: 2 veggie dogs Snack: Apple, latte (trying to get some energy!) Dinner: Grilled cheese and a few french fries Hang in there everyone! DRINK YOUR WATER!! |
Weinermr | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 10:03 am     Monday Morning - Oatmeal, apple, and glass of orange juice. Lunch - Chinese food - Beef with broccoli, vegetables, and steamed rice. Snack - Yoplait fat free Vanilla Yogurt with Nutrasweet. Dinner - Canned salmon, coleslaw (very light on dressing), raisin bread Tuesday morning. Weight loss after first week, 5 lbs!! I know that won't be typical, but it's a great start. Back to walking today. |
Weinermr | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 10:16 am     Twiggy - Splenda is a sugar substitute, not an artificial sweetener. Splenda can be used in place of sugar in cooking, baking, sweetening, etc. Nutrasweet for example is good for sweetening things, but you can't use it in place of sugar. You can't cook with it, and it doesn't stand up well under heat. You can use it to sweeten a cup of tea, but long term cooking will break it down, and the sweetness will go away. My source of information says that Splenda is a good product, has virtually no calories, and is safe. |
Oregonfire | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 12:44 pm     I collapsed yesterday into another carbo coma, this time brought one by some bad news: I'm being let go at one job because of massive budget cuts, and I had to have a little talk with the dean at my other job because I barked at his secretary (a very rude and stupid move, I know), so I highly doubt that I will get any more classes from them, which was doubtful anyway. Dieting has been put on the back burner, as I yet again try to figure out how I'm going to make ends meet for what seems like the 100th time in the past year. I'll be back when I can handle it. |
Kady | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 06:37 pm     Day #3 here!! It is unreal but I already feel better. I think all the water I am drinking is really cleansing me out. Remember to take a daily multi-vitamin!! Hang in there Oregonfire!! We be here waiting for ya! |
Spygirl | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 06:42 pm     Breakfast: cantaloupe, yogurt, cheerios with 2% milk Lunch: 3 small slices of cheese pizza, left off crust (had a lunch meeting I forgot about); 3/4 of a sprite Dinner: Green chili & tortilla casserole (this is my FAV part of eDiets! the menu & recipes!!) Snack: 1 table spoon peanut butter with 5 ritz crackers Did not get all water b/c I forgot my cup today; got all vitamins Walked on treadmill - 22 minutes; 1 mile (goodness I'm slow) |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 06:51 pm     Oregon, that's tough news!! Is it possible to find something else besides carbs? If not, don't feel guilty. You don't need to add guilt on top of the other stress!! Breakfast: Cereal (nonsweetened) Lunch: Amy's vegetable pocket Also, had a cup of coffee with Ms. Bat. She's on her way up the coast tomorrow. Supper: Small portion of corn and chicken wings (about 5 or 6) I was hungry..LOL Dessert: Sugar free jello vanilla pudding (small bowl) I find this satisfies sweet cravings. Plus, you can make it with nonfat or 2% milk |
Kady | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 06:59 pm     How many here are officially on E-Diets? In what ways do you find it beneficial? Spy, do share that greenchile & tortilla casserole recipe. Just the name sounds good!! |
Tess | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 08:16 pm     Kady, you took those questions right out of my mouth. I am sitting here debating whether I should join or not since I'm also feeding two other people. |
Max | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 09:44 pm     I've been on eDiets since I started in August. I use it for support and information more than menus now, but when I started, I followed the menus closely. I like it because it's always there,there is lots of information, the menu plans are very flexible and they include a large variety of foods. Today: English muffin (120 calories) 2 breakfast patties (160 calories) 1 ounce cheese (114 calories) Healthy Choice Beef Tips Portabella (310 calories) Granola bar (150 calories) Baja Fresh Mexicali Chicken burrito ( 895 calories! Wish I'd checked the website BEFORE I went there!) 2 Frangos (105 calories) (Total calories = 1854 which is within my 1800-1900 range, but next time at Baja Fresh, I’ll choose something else. I could have had FOUR Mahi Mahi tacos for less calories than this! ) Exercise: bowling league |
Tess | Tuesday, January 29, 2002 - 11:33 pm     Today; Breakfast: slimfast shake Lunch: banana, ham & tomato sandwich on Oatnut bread Snack: hot cocoa Dinner: grilled teryaki pork tenderloin, stuffing and sliced tomatoes, water Snack: bowl of cereal and 1% milk Exercise was walking and water-walking 1.5 miles--had Physical Therapy again today. |

Spygirl | Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - 06:37 am     My treadmill is the "Cadence 200". I bought mine at Walmart. That same brand also has a 340 and a 400 series. Mine doesn't do anything terribly fancy, but it does have an incline, and a display that shows all of the necessary information -- speed, calories, fat calories, time, and distance. It also flips up to save space. The recipe for the casserole: Green Chili and Tortilla Casserole* 2 tortillas (approximately 6 inch diameter) 2 green chili peppers 1 bell pepper 1/2 cup of low fat or nonfat milk 1 oz. of low fat or non fat shredded cheddar cheese 1 tsp. of dried parsley 4 oz of Egg Beaters Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dice green chili pepper and bell pepper, set aside. Spray a casserole dish with cooking spray. Tear tortilla into bite-sized pieces and spread over the bottom of the casserole. Top with half of the chopped green chili and bell pepper, and half of the cheese. Repeat layering. Combine liquid egg substitute, milk and parsley and gently pour over casserole. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. |
Jewels | Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - 07:24 am     That casserole sounds really good, Spy! I may just have to try that. Amazing, I don't exercise for 5 days, eat fast food one day and cookies another and get on the scale yesterday and have lost 3 pounds. I don't get it! Yesterday; Breakfast: Cereal, latte Lunch: Orange, 2 veggie corn dogs (they are pretty good Max, just f.y.i., 4 of the minis are only 170 calories, but 4,5g of fat vs. 4 for the full size) Snack: fat-free saltines w/about 1 tblsp. peanut butter Dinner: Chicken fajitas w/a little spanish rice Exercise: Walked 3 miles Just want to say thanks again for all the support here, I would have thrown in the towel out of frustration by now if I didn't have you all here!  |
Spygirl | Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - 06:49 pm     breakfast: low fat french toast, lite syrup, cantaloupe lunch: roast beef sandwich, some fries (sigh) dinner: eDiets homemade chicken stir fry (recipe below) Snack: 1tbs peanut butter All water, all vitamins Walked on treadmill 20 minutes, 1.12 miles (getting better!) Recipe -- I hate almonds, so I left them off. Also, my grocery didn't have pea pods, so I added brocolli. It was much better anyway Oriental Chicken Stir-Fry* 1/2 onion, small 1 1/2 cups of chopped bok choy 3 oz. of fresh mushrooms 4 oz. of chicken breast: boneless and skinless 1 1/2 tsp. of olive oil 1 1/2 Tbsp. of low sodium teriyaki sauce 3/4 cup of pea pods 1 1/2 tsp. of sliced almonds Prepare rice according to recipe. Rinse and pat dry vegetables; chop onion and bok choy (use both white part and green leaves)and slice mushrooms, set aside. Rinse and pat dry chicken; slice into thin strips. Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium-high; sauté chicken until no longer pink, about 3-5 minutes, remove from skillet and reserve. Heat oil in same skillet; add onions, pea pods and teriyaki sauce, stir-fry for about 4-6 minutes: add bok choy and mushrooms and stir-fry for about 4 minutes more. Add cooked chicken and heat through, about 1-2 minutes more. Serve over rice, garnished with sliced almonds. rice, cooked* 3 Tbsp. of uncooked rice Place rice in a small pot with tight-fitting lid and cover with about 2 times the amount of water (for example if you're cooking 4 tablespoons of rice, use 8 tablespoons of water...about 1/2 cup water). Bring to a boil over high heat; then cover tightly and reduce heat to medium: cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until water has been absorbed and rice is soft, but not sticky. |
Max | Wednesday, January 30, 2002 - 09:43 pm     One of these days, I've gotta try cooking some of those eDiets recipes!
