What did you eat today? 6/10

I haven't seen this post up lately...am I the only one who wants to keep a sort of food journal on here?? BTW, has anyone heard from Janina??

B: coffee w/cream and sweetener
     sausage (4 carbs)
L: water, too busy for anything else! I'm making sure i have a back up Atkins bar with me from now on!! 
S: low carb fudge pop (3 carbs)
D: taco salad (10 carbs)
S: low carb fudge pop (3 carbs)
Lots of water all day!

Total Carbs: 20

Today is day one back on plan, I went grocery shopping after running around doing errands all day, and was hurting something bad by the time I got to the store (couldn't take my pain pills all day cuz I had to drive ) and I almost gave in to cravings for chocolate and cookies. I resisted and my low carb fudge pop**** the spot!!

Hi Heather! I have been tracking on fitday, but when i can i will post here. It is excellent practice to get a handle on what and or how much we eat affects the scale. As long as I have tracked food, it amazes me when I write it all in one spot where i stumble.  Example:  this week:  average cals have been too close to 1700 daily - I will not lose at that and may have gained. I was kind of surprised, yet I knew I had a couple bad days in there.

I want to support it for others who don't take the time to do this. There is good info there.  Even when I posted my Thanksgving day eats, actually I was shocked how low the cals were (~2600).  I learned by doing this how little cals my body needs, especially as i get older. I also learned by utilizing lower carb eating how well I can do with planning to make it seem like plenty of food!

Yesterday was a good day - tryin to bring down that average i see since Sunday.

B:  1.5 eggs + 1 c chard w/balsamic vinegar

S:  1 med apple with hi protein pb (includes flax oil, fiber)

L:  6 oz hb patties (2 small lean ones) + 1 oz cheese + 1/4 c beans + 6 inch ww tortilla

S:  1 hi pro drink

Supper:  1 can Amy lentil soup + 1/2 onion + 1.5 c chard.  Chard is in my garden and I am trying not to go to the store!


 

Heather, some people love to post what their eating because it holds them accountable and they tend of do better on their eating plan. I encourage you to post this daily if it helps you.

OTOH I don't think about what I'm eating or how much or anything like that. I just eat lots of low starch veggies and fruit - as much as I want and make certain I get some legumes or beans  starchy vegetables and some grains in with my meals. I'm just not cut out to measure my food or start looking up how much fat/carbs/protein is in my diet. In stead I concentrate on getting a variety of food in my diet. This is working for me. I think though when I get closer to goal I may need to look again at my food choices but right now I'm losing weight.

Ummmm........let me think.......


B------Coffee, 1/2 blueberry muffin

L-------Frozen dinner

S-------Cucumbers

D-------Chicken wings, potatoe wedges, and diet green tea and maybe a little strawberry cake. 

 I'm glad to see this tonight, because I really feel I need to start posting.  Today was a bad day- I can't even begin to think of all I ate today.  I need to lose about 30 pounds, and I have struggled with my weight being higher than it is now, and too low. I am proud of myself that my weight has stayed stable for a couple of years, but four years ago I was at a normal weight and I want to get there again.  Starting tomorrow I would like to post each day, so I hope others will join.  

Thanks for starting it again, Heather.
