WI points: all!!!
Geevee, I have heard of the two products you mentioned, but have not tried either one! Maybe next time...but, isn't the spirulina one a little high in calories? I'm not sure. the taste of the kombucha is a little "vinegary." I've tried two types, the cranberry one had much less of a vinegar taste and I liked it far better!
Food was good today.
Foods: egg, large peach, egg, tomato, carrots, bbq shredded chicken, large tea with milk, 100 cal balance bar, strained yogurt, seaweed salad, package of microwavable vegetables, lox, grapefruit. and another peach.
Total cal: 1180. Goodnight!
I had a good day, I was productive.
WI Points: 24. although calories were low today I was eating when i was full, so no points for binge/diet.
I tried this really cool drink a week ago made from fermented kombucha (some kind of tea leaf, I believe). It has an aquired taste for about 60-70 calories a bottle. However, it's difficult to drink this stuff fast because it has a powerful taste and its slightly carbonated. It's satisfying! And, for a large bottle, 60-70 calories is not bad! It has a ton of health benifits. I threw away the bottle, so next time I get it, probably this coming weekend, I will write more information on it. I looked online, but there are a few websites but all of them advertise a slightly different product than the one I bought. more about that another time.
my stomach is streched to its limit, ugh. I actually only exercised 20 minutes yesterday...and i'm only gonna do a half hour today. I'll make up for yesterday mostly in my calories these coming days.
i orderred the noodles, GG! As soon as I read about them in your entry, I searched them out! So, I can't wait to try them in about a week!
Goodnight, all!
Have you tried spirlina? that's supposed to be so nutritious. The negative for me is the awful color or charcoal gray that it gives to Billy's delicious smoothees. It's like you look at this ugly concoction and lose all desire because it's so unappealing. At least all the other fruit pulp we use masks the awful smell of asai. The sherbet-type ice made from it though is good.
WI Points: 22. too high calories, binge dinner by finishing everything, only 20 min exercise.
Total calories: 5600!
Eating was fantastic, all day.
However, tonight was one killer of a "cheat meal." Maybe some of you remember I wrote earlier this week that i'd be going out to dinner on Saturday night. Well, that was last night. We went to Houlihan's. I'm sure some of you are familiar with that place. I ordered a grilled vegetable with cheese and pesto practically fried panini sandwich that came with fries. I had the entire thing. Also, I had a piece of the "pizza" looking appetizer called "crisp lavosh pizzette." I also had some of the cabbage salad with whatever dressing was on it that came with the seared tuna in fried wanton wrappers. For dessert, I had HALF or more of the apple cobbler/pie with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. then, I had 1/2 of my friend's peanut butter cheesecake dessert as well:
Calories for Houlihans: appetizers: 600; Large fries: 1,000; HUGE grilled pannini sandwich: 1500; very large apple cobbler, whipped cream and ice cream: 1,000; peanut butter cheesecake: 600. Total: 4710
Calories for early part of the day: apple, egg, emergen-c, egg, coffee, light yogurt, salad with arugala mix, tomato, summer squash, green peppers, mushrooms, another egg (not much to choose from, I was at the University), a new kind of very low sugar, all natural and raw drink, 1 cup of bran, 1/2 cup soymilk, one greek yogurt with some chocolate stevia flavoring.
Total calories for early part of the day: 890. I was happy with that because NO binges were involved. I didn't think I'd be having dessert at Houlihan's, though.
I don't regret last night, but my stomach is still in pain today. LOL. It was a lot of food. the apple cobbler looked like more than 1/4 of what could have been an entire pie/recipe.
WI points: 24 points (I didn't exercise and sorta binged)
I ate well today but had a minor binge of 850 calories for dinner. I then decided to have a yogurt right before bed. Total calories were still good, 1410!
Foods: apple, egg, egg, tofu, carrots, tomato, brussel sprouts, seaweed salad, iceberg salad, vinegar, lox, bravo (ritz) crackers, 2 cups all-bran extra fiber, one cup soy milk, yogurt.
i keep wanting more food, but its 10pm and i'll be sleeping soon. ugh. i'm gonna get some tea. Maybe all that lox is getting me thirsty...its extremely salty.
I used my time wisely this evening to get some work done at the school library. I plan on going back there tomorrow, as I didn't finish the work because it takes awhile to look up all the information. It's a research/music research class.
I guess I don't feel bad about the binge, since calories are still low and I ate what I wanted. Aside from Tuesday, calories remained low this week. Tomorrow evening I'll be going out for dinner I think; and so far, I'm looking foward to it.
alright, goodnight everyone!
I got a lot done today, productive. i wish i played the horn today, though!
WorkingIt points: all!!!!!!
great day calor-wise. I had a lot to spare on dinner, which was large; and did still include a MONSTER-SIZED SALAD (LOL, GG) with some smoked salmon (lox), followed by a bowl of all-bran and soy milk. i didn't need the cereal and milk, but, since calories were overall low, i had it.
Foods: emergen-c, egg, egg, shredded pork, carrots, tomato, cliff bar, seaweed salad, bag of iceberg, shredded romaine, more shredded romaine, vinegar, smoked salmon, soymilk, all-bran.
total calories: 1270. :) very happy!
Today i did great.
WI Points: All!
Very busy day, definitely suffered from lack of sleep!
I would like to feel better tomorrow, so I must finish my work and go to bed soon!
One good thing about myself...although i was tired, i dressed nicely and held my head up high!
Goodnight.
calories just a tear over 1200. good day! Lots of lettuce, veggies, fruit. also two eggs, salmon, shredded pork, yogurt, and atkins granola bar.
I hope you feel more rested tomorrow! It's great that you dressed nicely and pushed forward. I remember when I was younger I could stay up all night and look exactly the same the next day, no red eyes or bags!! It seems to be catching up to me with age!! I'll have to try cucumbers on my eyes to see if that actually works!!!!
Have a great day!
I was really tired today. I went to bed around 1am and woke up at 6 for work. i'll update with a real entry tonight! ----------------------------------------------------
hi.
WI Points: 24. (no points for exercise and i had a semi-controlled binge at night before bed.)
Today was really good, and I could have EASILY kept calories lower than 1300 today. But, instead, I had a semi-binge late at night when I got home from music practice. I almost never binge at night, because I know it's such a waste considering i'm going to bed. the only good thing is that I will not wake up starving in the am!
Foods: Breakfast: egg, emergen'c, apple. 170
Snack: egg 70
Lunch, BBQ shredded pork, tomato, carrots 260
Large snack at home: 2 and 1/4 cups of fiber one, one cup of soy milk. two strained greek yogurts with the no cal stevia (flavored apricot and dark chocolate). total cal: 490
Snacks during practice: 2 bags of freeze-dried apples. 210 calories total
Binge at 10:45pm: 2 yogurts with no-cal sweetner, honey wheat pretzels, piece of fried tofu, tostitos. this cost me 590 cal.
Total cal: 1790.
I didn't get any exercise, so those calories are borderline too high for today!
otherwise, a good day with work.
I'm trying to learn how to save and wait for good times to eat high cal, denser food. I am trying to eat low cal (not today, obviously) for the rest of the week. I will be going out to dinner on Saturday evening probably. I plan on getting something carby and fatty. LOL, that's what i'm saying now! However, if the rest of the week goes well, I'm going to do just that. Lately, I've been thinking about pancakes a lot! LOL ok, goodnight. I'm gonna be majorly tired tomorrow! however, i am happy with myself and life.
You asked me a couple of days ago whether I ever worry about becoming diabetic. Well, a year or so ago I was experiencing some strange symptoms and was convinced that I was becoming diabetic due to all these years of binging. See, I don't know about you, but I was like this even as a child. I wasn't fat so I wasn't dieting or anything but even then I would go on major eating sprees. It didn't help that my mother is an amazing chef but saved her skills for the huge dinner parties which she hosted every few weeks. My brother and I would sneak downstairs after the guests had finished and we would descend upon the dining table like a swarm of locusts. So these erratic eating habits have been going on for me for many years now and I'm sure it can't be good. But hopefully the situation is finally starting to improve. The funny thing is that I don't even remember what those symptoms were which had me so convinced that I was becoming diabetic!
Thanks for your tip of Fiber One cereal. I don't think that is available here, but I will look for it. Might be able to find it in England. If not then I can always look up the ingredients online and try to find an equivalent at the natural foods store I go to!
HOLA.
WI points: all points today!
Today was a good day. Productive.
Foods: apple, egg; egg; shredded pork in BBQ sauce; protein bar; large dunkin donuts Latte lite; peach; tomato; VERY LARGE SALAD, lots of Lox (smoked salmon), small head of cauliflower with papricka/garlic/pepper, and another peach.
Total cal: 1275. VERY GOOD DAY! :)
Goodnight, a better update on Wednesday. Tuesday's gonna be rushed.
Bye all!
Thanks for your comment. I love the fake deli meat! The hickory smoked Tofurky tastes just like real turkey to me. But then, it's been seven years since I last had real turkey, so perhaps I have just forgotten what it tastes like. Unfortunately I cannot get Tofurky here, but I found a kind of fake ham instead. I've never had ham so I can't say how authentic it was but it seemed very meaty. I don't know what the point would be for a meat-eater, but for me, it's good for sandwiches as it's healthier than cheese and sometimes vegetables just won't cut it on their own!
hello!
WI Points: 36! go me!
2 water, 2 Exercise, 2 Diet, 10 no binging, 10 good things, 10 positive messages.
biscotti, I'm looking for a band teaching job for the long term. I probably would look out of state if it came down to it. However, sometimes you need to get a different state license for each state you teach in. There are also states that do accept out of state certifications.
Today's eating was FANTASTIC. really healthy foods!
Breakfast: peach, one egg
Snack: Peach, tomato, 2 greek yogurts
Lunch: lightly seasoned and flavored carrots and broccoli, lettuce, one egg
Snack: Adkins Advantage Bar (this was the only "unhealthy" thing i had all day!)
Snack: Peach, yogurt
Snack: very large yellow pepper
Late Dinner: vegetables with green soybeans and another yellow pepper!
Total calories: 1285 or so.
I practiced the French horn today and I felt really good for doing so! I may have to play it at an audition and I know I need to stay on top of the game!
goodnight!
I think I may only weigh myself on the 1st of every month. I've had enough for the time being.
At this time next year, I hope I have a tenure track teaching position that I have done well at and will be able to continue the following year. Lately, I look at myself, 24 years old, in my mid-twenties, and wonder how much longer it will be till I will be able to live on my own. Earlier this year, I was paid as a teacher because I had a leave position. Now, the teacher I'm covering for is just using his sick days; and I am being paid like a substitute. I can't move out until I have something MUCH more permanent and with better pay. It's year number 3 since I finished my undergrad and now I'll be done with my masters this summer. I hope to find a job BEFORE summer begins. I'm doing everything I can!
I feel that I performed nicely last night at the band rehearsal I went to, thanks to the practicing i've been doing. I had a nice French horn tone and I should think about that tomorrow and make sure I get some practicing in before I loose it all!
Edit:
WI points: 24 points (none for diet plan, binging.)
Total calories today: 2390.

well, today started off alright. however, things went downhill at 2:30 when I had my late lunch followed by a binge.
Breakfast: fiber one, soy milk, apple, egg. 370 cal. Snack: chicken salad, carrots, red pepper, tofu. 280 calories.
I guess you can say I was a little bingy in the morning.
Snack: 100 cal balance bar.
Lunch: tomato, salad, portabella muchrooms, 2 yellow peppers, one whole eggplant and tofu. Then, 5 minutes later...I should have LEFT THE HOUSE!
Binge following Lunch: 4 servings of pretzels (440), one mousse yogurt (140), 2 cookies (200), and one cup of cottage cheese (240).
Total calories so far: 2240. could be worse.
lately, its one day is a binge the next 1-2 days I watch myself. then repeat. all January. eh, I would rather February be a little calmer food-wise!
You've been very busy the past few years teaching and working on your Master's, so don't fret. With the high cost of rents nowadays, more and more adult children are staying home because they simply can't afford to move. You most assuredly are not alone.
And here I am on the other side, having taken in my son and his two kiddies who are here every other week. This is the son who left home the minute he graduated from high school so it must be difficult for him to be back. An adult living with one's parents is not the ideal situation and does require care and caution to make it work, but it can be done. I'm just happy to be able to provide a cushion at a bad time.

Great points!!! You're doing awesome!!
I had no idea what some of your foods were that you mentioned, but your peach sounds heavenly!!
Glad you had such a great day!! Keep it up!

Great food, great points, great day! Great job!!
girliegirl6486 on 02/12/2007:
Great job with the calories, food today was a good variety too!
smiley2 on 02/13/2007:
Just checking in to say helooooo :)
borntocry on 02/13/2007:
Wow, good job with the calories! That must have been tough for you!
So you've tried the shirataki noodles (I was kind of thinking I should have left that comment to you instead of GG, but I see you read it anyway!)? It's somewhat of a relief to know that they might not be all that great because otherwise I'd have to kick myself for practically giving up pasta when there's a 0-calorie alternative out there! Also, I don't know if they're available here. There's an Asian store where I could look. So let me know if you try them again!
Umpqua on 02/13/2007:
What healthy food choices, and they sound yummy! Great job! Thanks for your comment to me and don't worry, I don't make a habit of skipping meals. And when I do I make up the calories. No one around here ever goes hungry ;)
WorkingIt2 on 02/13/2007:
OH GREAT JOB on the calories!!! GOOD Going! YAY!
lafemme_loca on 02/13/2007:
You are doing great as always ! :-) Thanks for your comments on my post. I went back and counted up the protein and was happily surprised to find it actually was 74g for the day... :-) Enjoy your night !!
sasyredneckgirl on 02/13/2007:
MMM have to agree with moody that peach sounds YUMMY!!! looks like you had a great Day :)
