Day 2 Food Journal

Weight: 130.6
Goal: 120

Yeah!!!! I am down a pound from yesterday. I know that I might be up a little tomorrow, but if i can get it to stay under 131 for the rest of this week I might have a shot of getting under 130. Wow, to be in the 120s! I was pretty good last night, but not perfect. I had left over rice & chicken for dinner and had a couple of left over carrots to add in more veggies. I did have 1.5 glasses of wine and 2 servings of corn chips. Not too bad, but would like to limit the corn chips to 1 serving. I didn't eat past 8, but did make my wine last till about 9. I hope today goes just as well....

Breakfast:
Hot tea with skim milk
Low sugar brown sugar oatmeal

Snack:
Banana
Light string cheese

Lunch:
Lean cuisine Beef tips & broccolli
1 Butterscotch hard candy

Dinner (Planned):
Eggs beaters, ham & cheese wrapped in reduced fat croissants

Day 1 Food Journal

Start:131.7
Goal: 120
(Lovin' the new scale! At this point I need to see ounces lost a week because it is really hard to lose 1pd a week)


7:15
Ummmm....Oatmeal! My oatmeal did hit the spot this morning. Warm and sweet and only 130 calories. Lower Sugar Brown Sugar oatmeal. I'm lovin' it!

10:00
Had a banana for a snack. It was OK, I just don't feel satisfied.... I know I'm going to need to eat something else before lunch.
The banana wasn't firm enough, it was smusshy, very disappointing!

11:00
Decided to eat my orange. Another disappointment. It has seeds! ARGHHH! Do you know how hard it is to remove the seeds at my desk, not to mention messy. Now I'm wondering what I can bring for my 2nd snack tomorrow. I'm trying to be good and bring healthy snacks instead of eating hard candy that Kathy keeps by her desk. This eating healthy thing is harder than it seems!

12:00
Pineapple Greek Yogurt and a Low Sugar chocolate pudding, YUM! Not the most healthy lunch, but hit the spot and satisfied my sweet tooth. It could have been worse......

2:00
Work is slowing down, I'm having a hard time fighting the need to get a couple of hard candies from Kathy.

9:30am Monday "To be Free"

Wow! I haven't been on here in a while. Today I just needed a place to rant and rave and get out my demons. Unlike all the people who post their inner thoughts to Facebook, I'm going to post them here because I have very few followers and the ones that do follow should totally understand. So as a warning besides being an area for me to note my weight struggles, this will also be a place for me to vent, which are actually very tied together in my world. I am an emotional eater and stress easy an easy trigger for over eating or eating "comfort" food.

I have to admit this does feel very freeing and I think it may help in my struggle with weight, because I feel my struggle has a lot to do with my border line depression.

Here is my rant:
Got in this morning and there is a note from Elaine (my plate maker) that a Clorox job jacket got to the press with out her plating it and how did it get there? What is the big deal? She has a list and knows the jobs that she has to plate for the night AND I had told her personally that she had to do this job, that the guys would run it 1st thing Monday. The pressmen probably where pulling their Monday jackets and came and got the jacket. No Big Deal!

I have enough DRAMA at home with 2 teenage girls, I DON'T need it at work!
