Sorry couldn't resist the pun in the title. You know how it is. I noticed that it seems the most popular way to do these journals is as a narrative, I hope you don't mind I prefer just presenting the data, and then notes after!

I've taken a look at , and they have a neat little BMI calculator that also has a Suggested Intake table of daily Calories, Carbs, Fat, and Protein. My goals right now are 1600/200/50/100 respectively assuming I do my biking every day.

Pizza (2 slice) =500/50/16/24
Pizza (2 slice) =500/50/16/24
Apple (medium) =120/30/1/1
Roast Beef (2 small slices) =300/0/17/44
Roast potatoes (2 cups) =185/42/1/5
Corn (half cup) =110/23/1/2
TOTAL =1715/195/52/100

Ugh... pizza twice in one day was not a good idea :( I had leftovers for breakfast, and then ended up bringing a couple more slices for lunch to school. I also had a Coke Zero in there as well, but its got basically no nutritional value. Still have my biking to do tonight, I hope I don't forget!
 
that darn evil pizza...such a yummy breakfast! and lunch. and dinner. which is why i ban it from my refrig. (or i vow to.)

but looks like pizza didnt damage ya too much. thin crust veggie?

hope ya enjoy the bike this evening. :)
 
Nah was actually a pepperoni from a mom'n'pop place around the corner. Heck of a lot less greasy than big-name pizzas. Also, they were pieces from a small pizza to start, only like a 10" or so.

My big big big weakness is sweets like ice cream and chocolate though. I let myself have a little treat once a week (in theory) to keep me from going crazy.
 
my weakness is carbs in general. grahm crackers help with cookie cravings. one is sufficient to curb and saves much calories. fudgesicle at 45 calories curbs the ice cream junkie in me.

my true weakness...oh gawd just the mention of it...starbuck's cafe vanilla frap. ice coffee with splenda curbs that too!
 
oh girls - you are after my own heart!!! i love chocolate and ice cream SO much!!! have either of you tried the no pudge ice cream cones? They are VERY good - only 140 cals a piece, and you could definately swing one or two of those in a week...
 
sounds like more girls need to go to PA (Pizza Adicts), just kidding... old joke in the threads!
Its good that you know what you want and how to control your intake..
 
Another suggestion from an ice cream lover... Klondike makes a premium fudge bar that is better than a regular fudgsicle (creamy and chocolate-y without the grainy texture), Weight Watchers makes a delicious cookies and cream ice cream bar, and Edy's Light is awesome.
Good luck! Sometimes it is all the day's effort to find something that will satisfy your cravings without compromising your calories.

Today's plan: Peanut butter toast for breakfast, leftover roast and potatoes for lunch, and since I have to work tonight, I'll probably end up getting something from the food court, but there's a little italian place that makes a delicious chicken primevera and probably a side salad with it.

I also found one of my sisters water containers, holds over a half-litre in it, so I'm gonna try carting that around all day and see if I can get by without any pop.
 
i just wanted to say the title of your diary thread is hilarius! also, have you ever tried ? its an awesome site and you can track weight loss progress there too! oh and i'm sure you'll want one of those nifty tickers too!

you need to cut out all soda and replace it with water! that diet is looking a little starchy too with the potatos and toast. how about a whole grain/whole wheat english muffin for breakfast? toasted with a dab of peanut butter on each half will keep you going for hours if you have it with half a grapefruit and an ice cold glass of water! :D

I actually use for my nutrition tracking info, and keep a personal journal on my desktop, as well as a nifty Excel file to graphically track my weight. As far as the tickers, I found the site myself, but I would just rather do my own in text since its a bit easier to update.

So far today, I've drunk 1.5L of water, and I'm treating myself to some sugar-free sparkling juice while I work since this job can get a little stressful and I need something sweet to get me through it! I also changed my mind about breakfast and had a couple of scrambled eggs and toast instead. I will keep the starch content in mind for tomorrow though! I don't usually have so much in one day, but my mom makes the best roast potatoes, she seasons them with steakspice and seasoning salt.... *drool*
 
Forgot to update last night after work, sorry!
I'm posting from a school computer right now, so I don't have all the exact numbers, but yesterday my caloric total was about 1450, and then I also did my 45 minutes of biking.

On the biking, I am actually starting to bump up my resistance now rather than just going for longer; I alternated between the second and third levels of resistance in a 5-low, 10-high pattern, I hope to be able to keep it up and maybe even go the full 45 on #3!

As for today... its not going as well. It was absolutely frigid this morning, so I figured I'd treat myself to a hot chocolate since I did so well yesterday... and the danish next to the till was just too tempting to resist :( The danish looks to be about 400 calories of damage, and the hot chocolate another 340. OMG 740 calories just on breakfast?! Looks like a teeny lunch for me today.
 
I have completely cut pop out of my diet the past couple days. So far today, I've gone through nearly 3L of water, which I think is like 90 oz. I think I'll have some minestrone soup for dinner.

Edit: I also have had a substantial caffine headache most of the day, but advil helps with it. :)

Good for you with the cutting out soda. I know it is hard.
Too bad about the hot chocolate and danish. (Swiss Miss makes a no sugar added hot chocolate that won't set you back a gazillion calories.) But, I noticed that instead of beating yourself up over it you tried to balance it out with a small dinner. Good thinking! It's all about choices and balance.
Kudos on the exercise, too!

Yesterdays total was just over 1500 calories, and I also managed to get my biking in again... I didn't get on the bike until about 10:30pm so I was pretty tired to start; got about 20 minutes in instead of my regular 45, but I guess its better than none.

Today I have to be really stingy with my calories for the first part of the day, because I'm going to a halloween party at my girlfriends house and I know there will be all sorts of junk food there, so I need to do some pre-emptive damage control. I had some sugar-reduced instant oatmeal for breakfast, a couple packs of that was about 300 calories, and the good thing about oatmeal is that it really sticks to your ribs, so hopefully I won't be hungry again until like 3 in the afternoon, which is when I'm off work anyways.

Already gone through a litre of water also.

This morning, I did an un-official weigh-in after I'd already gotten dressed. In my jeans and sweater I was sitting at 200, so I must've lost at least a pound or two since that's my normal weight in just my underwear!
 
It's 1:30, and I'm starting to get a little peckish, but I think I can wait until I get home.

Thankfully, work is keeping me pretty busy today so I don't have much time to think about food. Though, I kind of have a craving for chicken caesar salad... mmmm....

Talking all day (I work in a call center) makes me wicked-thirsty though, I'm already nearly done my third litre. I'm pretty sure my supervisor is annoyed at how often I have to leave my desk to go pee though ;)
 
Thanks for the support, Skinny.

Holy crap, I declare last night as not happening at all >< I think I left my self control waiting in the car or something I was disgusting last night. Chips, candy, popcorn, pop... at least the company and entertainment were good!

Thankfully it doesn't seem to have done too much damage, all I gained back was that half-pound I thought I might have lost the day before. I ended up crashing at Josh's house, so he's downstairs flexing his culinary skills and making me some cinnamon toast ^_^ We're having dinner with his mother tonight a well, and she usually makes something good, so I'll be back on track again in no time!
 
Ooooh I KNOW how that is .. I totally had no self control this ewekend and am just using tomorrow as a brand new start! Thats the good thing about new days :) We can both get back on track!! hehe* Keep up the good work,enjoy dinner tonight!!!
 
Still at fiance's, haven't done a calorie tally, but so far I've had cinnamon toast (2 slices), a sausage roll, low-fat fudgesicle, cajun shrimp and some homemade fries. Pretty fatty day, I know. I'm about to go home and do some biking now though.
