JennRenee's log

Breakfast ~ I was running late, so 2 big glasses of Crystal Light Iced Tea

Lunch ~ Campbells's Soup to Go Chicken and Rice
1 cup of dry Cheerios

My big after lunch mistake ~ 1 handful of goldfish crackers, a 1/2 of a dunkin donut

That's better than the countless number of choc. pecan cookies I ate!!!!!

Don't worry, if I had been with you we would have eaten them together... misery LOOVES company!

Also better than the potato chips I ate Although I did turn down a McDonald's offer I have a french fry addiction.

Ooooooooh french fries... I have banned all fast food from my diet until further notice because I can't go there and have 'just a salad'.

Today is the 8 year anniversary of the day Pat and I met, and we always go back to 'the scene of the crime' for dinner, and we just got home. That being said, I take the 5th on reporting what I had for dinner. Let's just say it included lots of cheese and a deep fryer.
Oh well... tomorrow's a new day...

Where did you go and what did you have....sounds deadly

That's a great attitude tho' Jen....tomorrows another day, wipe the slate clean..don't just throw the towel in

Well, here I am on day 2 of my food log, and I'm gearing up for breakfast.
I will be dining on:
1 lowfat waffle with syrup
and crystal light lemonade

Shamma, Pat and I met at the bar at Okey Dokey's and always go back there for dinner (we even got engaged there! ). We had lots of fried appetizers and then I had a grilled chicken sandwich (I should have had a burger... the damage was already done!). Everything was greasy and delicious!

Okay, since breakfast I've been running around all day, and all I ate was a handful of honey wheat pretzels.

Dinner ~ Pepper steak wraps ~ YUM!

Today was a good day! Thanks for holding me accountable Shamma.

Breakfast ~ 1 lite string cheese, tead with 1 Equal
Lunch ~ I cup chicken soup with wild rice and a can of diet 7-Up
Snack ~ 1 cup dry Cheerios
Dinner ~ 1Dish Chicken Bake (Chicken, brown rice, asparagus, 99% fat free cream of asparagus soup), which is in the oven now!
Dessert (nothing like planning ahead!) 1 Jello fat free pudding cup spooned over 1 small piece of fat free Entenman's pound cake with fat free Cool Whip... YUM!

Okay, I'm ready for today!

Breakfast ~ 1 lite string cheese, tea with Equal (no milk)
Lunch (packed and ready to go!) ~ Garden Veggie soup, fat free pudding
Dinner (planned) ~ Chicken Cordon Bleu (Weight Watchers recipe, trying for the first time!)
Dessert ~ To be announced!

Have a healthy day, everyone!

Hi Shamma, I find that when I eat as I go I eat badly. I plan my meals out the night before whenever I can. As for fruits and water, I always have a 24 ounce sport bottle with me when I'm not working, and am constantly sipping and refilling. I can't drink a lot when I am working because my bathroom breaks are extremely limited (can't leave my kids alone and run for the potty!). Fruits I slack on because I don't really care for them. I like strawberries, peaches, and watermelon, but they aren't in season, so they're only so-so, and not worth it to me.

My goals are to fit back into my clothes and raise my energy level. I don't own a scale, and don't care too. Weight is just a number. How I look and feel are much more important to me.

Jenn I agree with the not weighing, but john bought a scale last month, and I actually went on it ... I Really dont like counting pounds but im just doing it this time because this is going to be a major change for me and i wanna be able to wear my number proud ! LOL...

PS- how do you eat just a string cheese for breakfast !! I am so hungry inthe morning, I can have 2 breakfasts !

I agree JennRenee...the weight is not too much of an issue. My goal is also to fit back into my pants before I was married. I just feel oh so horrible

My biggest problem is portion control. Im finding now if I bring heathy snacks...apples, carrot sticks, Im better during the days.

Anna, I am usually eating my string cheese as I RUN out the door! Maybe if I didn't log on to LIW every morning I'd have time for a 'real' breakfast! Luckily, I have an early lunch (11:30), so I don't have time to get very hungry.

Diane, I know how you feel because I feel the SAME way! I'd hate to ever run into Jay because the last time I saw him (in high school! ) I was a skinny little twig. I'd hate for anyone who knew me then to see me now because I am the epitome of 'letting yourself go'. .
