The last supper

Last nights dinner :

Brown rice salad with roasted kale and sweet potatoes

After this I ate a bowl of pumpkin ice cream because Today I am starting phase 1 of south beach!!

Which is basically cutting out all sugar and carbs for the next two weeks! 

Wish me luck!

1 pound down!

Yesterday I ate:

Banana 

Coffee

Salad with feta lentils pepper and cucumber with my old fave dressing (balsamic vinegar, safflower oil, Dijon mustard)

2 bowls of cabbage soup 

Chicken broccoli and eggplant sautéed with hoisin sauce 

Yoga!

Today was:

100 cal pastry crisps (yummy brown sugar flavor)

1 of those chocolate pirouette cookies

2 point yoplait Greek peach yogurt

Salad with chicken pieces and honey mustard and BBQ sauce As dressing

2 sushi rolls for dinner ! (1 spicy tuna covered on avocado and 1 California roll)

1/2 cup slow churned caramel delight ice cream. 

Body pump!

Today I weighed in at 155 which was down 156.5 so ok... Onward and upward!

Day 2

Everyday there are baked goods in my office. Today was doughnuts and I held strong!

Breakfast:
PS Coffee
Banana
Strawberry Chobani
Lunch:

Salad w/leftover salmon, corn, lentils, and Light Vidalia Onion dressing

Dinner:

Spaghetti Squash (Eaten before I could take a pic!)

Sauteed onion, red pepper, and tomatoes with EVOO, Oregano, Salt and pepper, mixed with roasted squash and cubes of fresh mozzarella. I usually make this with feta but I didn't have any and had just bought an awesome assortment from The Kosher Cheese Guy!

1 cup low fat caramel delight ice cream.

I will probably regret this choice but I needed it for my sweet tooth!!!

No gym as I was at a Dr's apt but tomorrow is another day.

Today

Today was harder than expected as apparently I am used to eating incredible amounts of food.

Breakfast:
Coffee w/sugar free Pumpkin Spice creamer
Banana
Apple
Strawberry Chobani
Lunch:
Salad- lettuce, tomato, cukes, corn, can of tuna, light sweet vidalia onion
Dinner:
Sauteed onions, garlic and zuchini w/cup of brown rice and 1/2 lb terriyaki salmon (see pic)

Work Out:

BodyFlow- The instructor changed the class and it was taught by two people! Weird and annoyingly distracting. But it was faster than usual so I most likely burned more calories than usually.

The only downfall was today when somebody brought us danishes! I had 2 bites (urghhh no self control). Onward!

Oh. Hey.

Over the past couple of months, I have been logging my food on the WW app to no avail. Working out 3 nights a week has toned up my stomach but the past month of holidays has changed that. I went from a 153 with a flattish stomach in a zipped size 8 to what feels like a whale with a humongo blob belly at 156.5! So I am back to maintaining this blog! I will be eating healthy and logging my workouts here from now on!

So back by popular demand:

Monday (PRE DIET):
Coffee and Creamer- trying to cut back on the creamer its a very unhealthy habit!
Chocolate Popems ( in a meeting - working in the healthcare industry is ridiculous with the doughtnuts!!!)
Fiber 1- 2 point Brownie
Snyder of Hanover Peanut Butter sandwich pretzels
1 bowl of yellow split pea soup
Dinner at Mocha Bleu:
1 slice Margarita Pizza
French Onion Soup ($9!!!!)
Shared Disco Fries  aka French fries with mozarella cheese soaked in gravy aka heart attack on a tray
1 cup pumpkin ice cream

Tomorrows Lunch is packed and ready to go:
Coffee and sugar free creamer!
1 greek yogurt
1 salad with tuna can and lowfat sweet vedalia onion dressing
1 apple
Dinner-Sauteed Onions and Zuchini and Brown Rice
BODYFLOW class at 6:30!

GOOD LUCK TO ME!

A healthy lifestyle

I joined the gym! It had to be done and I have been wanting to join this specific one for awhile. They have great classes for me (Body flow- mix of yoga and tai chi but more upbeat, pilates, yoga, and zumba), daycare, and a pool! And I am being way better with eating fruit and veggies instead of oreos!
Dinner 2 nights ago: Chicken breast w/carmelized onions and steamed broccoli

Yesterday Eats:
Banana
Coffee
Peach nonfat Chobani
Cat cookies - Awesome lowfat trader joes (1 serving =15 cookies=3 points)
Humongo Falafel w/roasted eggplant spread for lunch at 2pm w/diet coke
Dinner- Sauteed peppers and onions over brown rice (this recipe)

Exercise- Body Flow class at 24 hour fitness!

Back on my game

So on Monday I bought a bag of Mint Oreos for the weekend and they were gone by Wednesday. NOT ok. So I am back on track now which just means I need to be really conscious about eating vegetables when I am hungry and want to snack.. not cookies.


Recent Dinner: Grilled Chicken, steamed broccoli and sauteed mushrooms (if only I always ate like this)

Another Dinner: Tortilla pizzas.. very thin and yummy! Roasted mushroom, tomato and pepper (3 seperate kinds G-d forbid my husband eats a mushroom)

An ACTUAL salad for lunch!! Hasn't happened in a month!!

Tuna, lettuce, tomato, corn, roasted mushrooms, peppers, cukes a squeeze of dijon mustard and a Tbsp of light mayo w/some apple cider vinegar.

Everyone has been telling me I look skinnier which is annoying bc I STILL WEIGH THE SAME! But whatever I am being very strict this week and have also started eating earlier in an effort to boost my metabolism in the morning.

Yesterday looked like:

Banana - now at 8:30 am not 11

Iced Coffee w/fat free vanilla creamer and skim milk

A chocolate chip brownie oat bar from Trader Joes (Amazing! and 3 points)

Chobani -nonfat peach- finally cheaper than $1 each when you buy 6!

Above tuna salad for lunch

Chili dog for dinner - downfall of the day. there is always one!

This week I have big plans to be on my game. I can do it.
