Accountability - Thursday

I'm BACK!
          Looking over my list for today, I was in love with carbs...and it all started with the chinese food this morning! Serves me right. It didn't bother me enough either..My carb number is HIGH and protein number real low...but tomorrow is a better day..
 
5:30 am 12 oz coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss
 
6:00 am 1/4 serving protein waffles, 1/2 large green apple, 1/3 serving sf pancake syrup
 
6:30 am double espresso with 1/2 cup plain soy milk frothed
 
7:00 am 24 oz Herb Tea, Iipton Vanilla Caramel Chai
 
8:30 am 1 oz jack cheese, 1 pc turkey breast deli meat, 1 chinese pot sticker, 1 cup rice noodles (for Chinese New Year)
 
9:30 am 12 oz coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss
 
11:00 am 1 medium pear, raw
 
12:00 am 12 oz decaf with half n half
 
12:50 pm 1 Banquet Cheesy Patty, 1/2 cup canned spinach, 1/2 cup canned peas
 
2:00 pm 24 oz Drink Mix with ice, Hawaiian Punch Orange

4:45 pm 24 oz drink mix with ice, GW Strawberry
 
6:00 pm 1.5 cups popcorn shrimp with ****tail sauce and tartar sauce..that completes my Chinese New Years eating! I sort of wish I hadn't had the popcorn shrimp..I was doing sort of okay until I ran out of run way with the carbs..yuck. now I feel yucky..

Totals for the day:
Calories: 1926
Fat: 90.3
Carbs: 183.0 (YIKES)
Protein: 108.4

Yup, you guessed it...probably as close to a fail as I can get but because I started the day with all those stinkin carbs from Chinese New Years...I kept stuffing them in my mouth and now I'm feeling yucky..I think some nice warm tea and I'm going to bed. I've been naughty and think I need a time out..

How did you do?

Glad your arm is feeling better! Luckily I do not care for Chinese food, but certainly like many other ethnic foods!

1000-2 pieces sf candy
1200-1/2 grilled chicken sandwich and a sf cookie
1400-apple
1800- 2 slices Papa Murphy DeLite
2000-2 graham crackers
all my water and such. I had 4 cups of peppermint tea today; it was cold out today, but not 20 degrees! The rain is back so it will warm up a bit now.
I have nothing to complain about weather wise compared to half of our Nation!

The weird thing is that this morning I was down a full pound! What is up with that? 

I love ethnic foods..or better yet, ancestor foods. I've been thinking about my great grandmother lately and have the strange urge to attempt to make an angel food cake from scratch..I know...weird..first I need to find about a dozen people who will eat it for me.

You did good..We'll have sunshine for the weekend so I may have more outside time..we'll see.

Keep up the good work. See ya.

I can't blame Chinese New Years for my day. I didn't know it was Chinese New Years.. but day after day I suddenly kick into eating gear and it feels like a wild card until I reach the point where I can bring it down. Well, I really am trying to do better. It could still happen.

Today:
8am egg, cheese, and english muffin
9am protien drink and dried pinapple
noon decaf coffee and protein bar
1pm decaf coffee and custard
3pm pistachios
4pm custard
6pm pasta and beef casserole and a selection of "treats", some SF, some not...
9pm a mini York peppermint patty

Today's totals:
calories: 1439
protein: 80 grams

all fluids and vitamins

Happy to see you back and feeling better. Let's see what tomorrow brings, after all, it is a new year...

Still, you did good with that low calorie number and pretty decent protein number..I don't really need an excuse to eat more carbs but when my co-worker brought in noodles...lol..I generally say no to that stuff cuz I don't know how I'm gonna react and may have to go home but I was feeling alittle mean...so what if I have to go home? LOL..it would mean a long weekend and that isnt' always a bad thing..

You did good..pistachios are very nice...good fats, plenty of protein and what carbs are there are good ones..Great job..

Keep up the good work. See ya.

Glad to see you back Dawn..and don't be so hard on yourself.  Tomorrow you'll pick yourself up and carry on ;-)

Funny thing is that after the carb fest I had yesterday the scale was DOWN a full pound this morning..I cant' figure it out but maybe the scale fairies needed to give me a smile..

You did awesome..what a huge protein number..Looks like you got over 70 oz of water..that's great too!

Keep up the good work. See ya

Oh crap!  I can only blame myself for my horrible day.  It actually started okay and just ended bad.

Tea w/ protein powder
weigh****cher's whole grain english muffin w/ peanut butter
banana
roast beef with carrots and a small spoon of mashed potato
vitamuffin top

and then....tostitos and salsa....a bunch of it.

lots of water and all my supplements

Better day tomorrow

Hugs, Monica

I'm sorry to hear your day went downhill on you :-(  I've had those days that in spite of my best intentions, it just goes south and it doesn't take much to make the turn.  Don't beat yourself up!  Tomorrow is a clean slate and you have new choices to make...I know you'll make good ones!  You've done such a great job with your tool...I'm confident you'll find your way to go forward ;-)
Hugs

I can't see where the carbs started..maybe the muffin but you can get it dialed in..I would bet on a better day friday..I get nervous around a bowl of tostitos..they are such a magnet for me..ouch! We had a party here at work once and I sat right by the bowl and ate about 1/3 of a bag...scared me so bad that I RAN, didn't walk, back to my desk and hid till the party was over..at least I stopped when I did..I might have finished the whole stinkin bowl!

Not that horrible of a day..you can pick it up and see where you went wrong and start from there..Keep up the good work. See ya.
