My Online Weight Journal - comments welcome

:D And I was soooo good today....I didn't have Mickey D's!!! I bought some for dtr today and decided to eat my protein bar instead! And you know...now that I think about it.....my protein bar was soooo much yummier than MD's!
 
You're learning..you go girl. I know fast food salads aren't the best, but they're better than a meal, so maybe you can try that. Look up the restaurant that you are planning to go to and workout your calories so you don't go into ordering blind.
 
Good point, but I think I would rather skip altogether than to have one of their nasty salads. LOL :p
 
Dinner consisted of a tuna rice casserole which was made with the following:

tuna, rice, cream of mushroom soup, peas and cheese on top. And let me tell you....YUM.

Any ideas as to how many cals that was?
 
So....did I do well yesterday or not?? LOL

Today:

B: 2 eggs, 2 slices toast with pb

did weights last night - oh and it felt so good! I do elliptical later today.
 
Yes, how much of the tuna casserole did you eat (i.e. cup, /.5 cup)? What else did you have with it? Did you eat a snack before bed?

What does your meal look like for today?
 
Hi Wendy, sounds like things are going pretty well over there! I was also going to add to Missy's post, and others might agree, that when you don't eat substantial protein in the morning (for me I need at least 40g) then you will possibly promote having cravings the entire rest of the day. For whatever reason and even when I was hardly eating anything this applied, if I ate a little more protein than carbs in the morning I felt like a million bucks all day and wasn't reaching for the simple carbs at all. My husband eats like crap but he's noticed this same thing on his own and is now slimming down just from getting in more protein first thing. just an FYI. Maybe try a few mornings of 2-3 egg omelette with half piece of toast and see if that does anything for you the rest of the day
 
oh and IMO as long as you are getting all of your calories in for the day you don't have to force feed, but do realize how important breakfast is for setting you up for the rest of the day. Late day cravings often come directly from not getting enough nutrients in first thing. If you're going to skimp on a meal because you're not hungry, make it dinner!
 
So many questions and not enough memory! LOL

Ok, for starters, I had about a cup of the casserole.
Sparrow - thanks for all the info. I really am trying to be better. I have continued to eat today, but per usual for Tuesdays I will skip dinner. I will take something for a snack perhaps, but I am susually on the go Tuesday nights.
Stingo - I put no more than 2 tbsp (whatever the serving suggestion is) on my toast. If I have 2 slices, I spread the two tbsp on both; if I have 1 slice, the two goes on the one slice. Does that make sense?

So far today, I have had:

B: see above
S: 1 sm apple and pb
L: left over tuna casserole (1.5c)
S (post workout): protein bar
 
If you can, try entering your day's meals into Fitday.com... I'd be interested to know what percentages you have for carbs, proteins and fats.
 
So far today, my percentages are as follows:

Fat: 45% :eek:
Carb: 38%
Protein: 17%

*sigh* I feel like I will never make it. Here I have been thinking I am doing well, not caving in and working hard. and yet I find I am soooo far away from doing well. Right now, I feel like a fat blob who can't do anything. I'm feeling really hopeless today.

At any rate, my snack today was an apple.
L: 1 lg potato with butter
S (post workout): Protein bar

I can eat less than 300 cals for the rest of my day. I may just skip dinner. I'm riding anyway.
 
Now that you know what the percentages are, you know what to work on. You know the old saying "Rome wasn't built in a day." Just think of it as taking baby steps.
 
np..that's what i'm here for. Now why don't you comment in my diary..lol :D
