Anyway, we had planned to spend spend the following night (Valentine's Day night that is) in Madison as well, until we heard reports that they were expecting 10 inches of snow! So, we hightailed it back north and stopped in Columbus at our favorite Indian restaurant on the way home. We just had to relive that memory. Unfortunately, some of our happy memories involve caloric food. :rolleyes:
We made the giant skillet chocolate chip cookie from 101cookbooks.com. And then paired it with some ice cream. It was ahmazing. I'm going to have to freeze the rest of the cookie because I have no self control when I go near it.Quote:

Today...

S: forgot
L: low-fat mozz. stick and roasted skinless chicken breast sliced and wrapped up in "leaves d'Romaine lettuce" :) Banana for dessert
S: planning to have a small orange
D: I've no idea as I am attending a "Ladies Night" at a local bike store where munchies and wine will be provided. I think it safer to stop by Jimmy John's on the way, or Pita Pocket, and have something healthy so I won't be hungry. I know I can find something decent to eat at either place - pretty much the only "fast foodish" type places I will consider. No real chance for veggies today I am afraid, outside of lettuce :o
yesterday:
B: whole wheat bagel, with 2 slices of low salt ham and one slice of low fat provolone cheese, margarine, orange slices, 2 cups of coffee
S: string cheese
L: left over vegetable stew, with most of the cous cous thrown out, and some garbanzo beans thrown in, blueberries

One hour toning class at work (light resistance training and ab work).
L: orange with a small serving of pasta with marinara sauce and mixed veggies
40 minute brisk walk/run

Today: Starving! I didn't eat enough yesterday and I'm paying for it today.
yesterday:
oatmeal with blueberries and pecans
cheddar cheese on multi-grain bread
cheese tamale with brown rice, broccoli, corn, and tomatillo salsa
yogurt with pecans (I'm addicted to pecans these days)
pasta with lentils and tomatoes, 2 bowls
fruit-2 apples, 2 oranges
That seems like a pretty small amount for me. Maybe I'm forgetting something, but I think that's it.
I was VERY bad for dinner yesterday. I had hoped that getting something relatively healthy from Jimmy John's before the "Ladies Night" at the LBS would help me to resist the goodies I knew would be there. While I didn't succumb as badly as I could have, I was still pretty bad. Scales were up 3 pounds this morning - probably from the sodium :o
No use kicking myself over something that happened yesterday, today is another day:
B: Bran cereal with 1 cup low-fat Kefir and a small amount of walnuts. Am craving nuts for some reason
S: forgot
L: 3/4 cup left-over Tempeh stuffed pepper, 1 mozz stick (low-fat)
S: Cliff bar
Planning either a bike ride or spinning class, it depends on the wind. Probably spinning because of the high wind but time will tell.
Dinner: Planning to finish my remaining Tempeh stuffed pepper/mixture, green salad with tomatoes and onion, and will probably steam some frozen veggies to go along with it.
Back to my usual and better habits tomorrow.

today (we'll skip yesterday)
b: whole wheat bagel with low fat cream cheese, lox, capers. half a grapefruit, 2 cups coffee

S: none
L: such as it was, had a little fruit and two small meatballs & coffee at church social hour after service

2 hour bike ride, some hills and quite windy for a portion of the ride. It isn't often that I can't coast going DOWN the hill :eek:
D: Roasted skinless chicken breast with lots of green beans from freezer, 1 small spinach tortilla, 1 Stockyard Oatmeal Stout
Still somewhat hungry but will wait a little before I eat more to make certain it is really hunger and not something else. Snack later will probably be an apple with fat-free cottage cheese or some Kefir with berries from the freezer. I suspect the Kefir with berries might come sooner rather than later :)

S - carrot/celery/spinach/apple homemade juice

1 hour bike ride at moderate intensity, fair number of hills
May have a bite of dessert later, after a short doggie walk!
Emily - do you notice the taste of the whey protein powder in the cereal? I am considering doing this instead of going back to Myoplex for breakfast so I can feel like I am actually eating breakfast instead of drinking it...Quote:

Yumm--happy food baby in the tummy.
and tonight I used the some of moroccan preserved lemons I made (in order to have an excuse to pick the meyer lemons before the freeze) and made about the best lemon chicken I have ever made- Tasty, low fat and nutritious. I think I am in love with Moroccan preserved lemons. Too bad the little tree probably won't recover from the freeze to produce more lemons. Tood soon to tell but it's looking very yellow and dead at this point. sigh....
Oh sure...easy to post THOSE. :) Let's see the post that says...
B - 2 Donuts, A bowl of fruit loops, Grande Carmel Mocha
L- Double Cheeseburger Fries, Coke and a chocolate shake
D- Kraft Mac and Cheese, Tater Tots and a bowl of ice cream for dessert.
