What I ate today:
If you want to you can post what you ate here today. Somehow that helps me. I have been posting to a friend in another forum, but she has limited access for a while, so I'm going to post it here.
Breakfast: skipped
Lunch: Wendy's chicken mandarin salad with chinese noodles, almonds and zero calorie honey mustard dressing
Snack: Blue Bunny low cal ice cream bar
Supper: 3 ounces brisket, 1/2 cup mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup english peas (seasoned with ICBINB spray)
Snack: apple and 8 almonds.
Total calories for the day (according to CC as far as I can figure them) 976.
Weight today 234.0.
sunnim - how is the Newman's seasame ginger? I almost bought some - its buy one get one free (newmans) at the store this week.
Today was/will be:
Breakfast 204 calories:
Breakfast Burrito (low carb tortilla, 1/8c egg beaters, 1/2 slice american cheese, 2 turkey sausage links and salsa)
Snack 50 calories:
some of the cheese off a frozen pizza I burnt all to hell in the microwave rendering it inedible for lunch. I figure it was maybe 50cals worth of cheese
Lunch 142 calories:
5 oz of vegetarian brown rice sushi
Dinner 278 calories:
1/2 pita with london broil w/onions, green peppers, light mayo and provolone cheese
Snack 300 calories:
some soup I am making now, I'll have a bowl later. I did the recipe with 12 servings, but I might not eat a whole servings (it says its like 322 grams/11 oz) it's my version of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana
total 974 - if I have a WW dessert later my total will be about 1100.
That pie i made yesterday.... I took a 1/4 of it (2 pieces) and i was so happy thinking wow this is great, all this yummy chocolate pudding pie for 300 calories I'm going to eat this all the time! Then I ate like 75% of it and thought... crap, what if the recipe analyzer used 1/8 of the crust and divided it by 8 again? I checked, yup... so it really came out to like 260 a slice : /
Kdh - I really like it! It has a very stong flavor so a little goes a long way. It is a fairly thin dressing though so it will float to the bottom of the plate/bowl. Keep stirring it up while you eat. (Two benefits - you don't add more & it takes longer to eat the salad so your body might have a chance to start feeling full.) If you like ginger and a slightly "nutty" flavor to things you should like it. I think Newman's puts out a full calorie version as well - so double check that you are getting the light version. (35 calories per 2T serving)
Your burning your pizza in the microwave hits home today. A couple of days ago one of my kid's friends set a potato on fire in the micro - litterally on fire (flames and all) we are still working on how.
I wish my store would put those dressings on sale - they are good, but soooo expensive.

Yesterday
Breakfast:
1 slice sunseed manna bread with 1 tbs peanut butter.
Morning Snack:
1/4 cup of nonfat greek yogurt and 1 cup fresh strawberries.
1 tbs brown sugar
Lunch
Salad with:
1 cup diced chicken (grilled on the george)

Dinner:
1 slice sunseed manna bread

Total calories:
Went over my budget of 1340 by 398 calories clocking in at 1738 for the day.
What I do with those types of dressing (the thin type) is, instead of pouring the dressing over the salad, I take a forkful (or fingers if I am home) and dip into the bowl of dressing. I get the flavor and actually use very little of the dressing.
Breakfast: skipped it

Lunch: skinny beef fried rice (my own recipe)
Snack: low cal ice cream bar

Texmom - I do that sometimes too, expecially in resteraunts where I can't measure exactly what I am getting so the goal is to use as little as possible. At home I usually just keep stirring though.

I really didn't do so well at breakfast. I was at the hospital while my husband was having his 3 yr. EGD for cancer checkup. I guess I was more stressed about it than I thought. I went to the cafeteria for some hot tea and.....well ended up with a slice of bacon, biscuit and gravy and fresh fruit.
It ended up being about 350 calories, plus there is the 1/2 cup of oatmeal I ate at 4:30 this morning (had to get up early to be there at 5:30)
I could have done worse, I guess. I ate the bacon with a little gravy on the biscuit and ate the fruit with a diet coke. It wasn't even that good. Kinda wish I'd done butter and jelly if I was going to eat that many calories.
Lunch was 3 ounces of steak and a skinny salad at Applebees. Husband was understandably hungry. I brought home the rest of the steak. A naked baked potato and some broccoli. He brought home his steak and mashed taters and roll. I got his broccoli.
So I'll probably have potato and broccoli for supper and he can have my steak for a sandwich tomorrow or just left overs.
Calories so far 650. I caught myself after I ater that stupid biscuit and said "You made a mistake. Let's recover the day."

Congrats sunnim about your gaming night success.
Why were you in the ER with your child? What happened? Are they ok? I guess he/she is or you wouldn't be messing around with the computer.
Texmom,
He is fine - he cut his finger cleaning the meat slicer at work. We took him in to make sure he didn't need stiches. He didn't thank goodness. Ultimately we spent several hours at the ER for them to clean it up and put a bandage on it, but better safe than sorry.
Thank you for the information on adding stuff to the food log.

Sunnim,
Thank hurts to even think about it. You never know...he might have needed a Tetanus shot. Glad he wasn't hurt badly.
All I've eaten today is a nice salad and a shake and bake porkchop that I scraped most of the breading off. Even the breading is not that bad...35 calories a serving.
I glad he wasn't hurt too badly either - my heart just about stopped beating when he first called me until I realized that if it had been too bad it would have been his boss calling. I knew his tetanus shot was up to date since he had a booster during his physical a year ago.
