Does this look like too much...

Birthday Dinner (Tuesday)

2009-10-28T08:30:00.002-05:00

Skipped breakfast and lunch, I know, I shouldn't have, but still. We went out to dinner for my birthday and I ate what I would typically eat at this restaurant. Ordered a salad, but it came last instead of first. This waitress was not with it, at one point she was even crying! What the hell! Anyways, I had a couple of drinks, salad, and the main coarse. Chicken, corn, and fries. Didn't finish the fries or the corn.

So I skipped breakfast, I know its not good to skip breakfast, but I just wasn't hungry. I made my healthy potatos with chorizo, 3 eggs, and had a cup of coffee.

Salad

2009-10-25T10:27:00.003-05:00

Okay, does it really matter how much salad you eat if its supposed to be good for you?

Potato and egg Breakfast

2009-10-23T19:16:00.007-05:00

Made my potatos different this time, used much less cooking oil and was still able to get them fully cooked. I used very little olive oil just enough for the potatos not to stick to the pan and covered it with a lid on a low setting. When they were close to being done I removed the lid so they could get a little crispy and then mixed in 2 eggs. They came out just as good as I would normally cook them, but with 99% less oil. Had one bread (wheat) and my coffee, tried that pumpkin flavored creamer, it was pretty good. Can't wait till Thanksgiving! Umm pie...

Chicken wing dinner, Oct 22

2009-10-23T06:53:00.003-05:00

Chicken wings with seasoning, mashed potatoes, and corn. I love corn and mashed potatoes, but I rarely eat chicken wings. I ate the 4 chicken wing which were not filling and I was not likeing them. I finished my meal still hungry, didn't eat anymore chicken because it just grossed me out to eat them, so I ended up getting some more mashed potatoes and corn.

Calories that Don't Count

The following food and situations have no calories to speak of ...

OTHER PEOPLE'S FOOD: A chocolate mousse that you did not order has no calories. Therefore, have your companion order dessert and you taste half of it.

INGREDIENTS IN COOKING: Chocolate chips are fattening, about 50 calories a tablespoon. So are chocolate chip cookies! However, chocolate chips eaten while making chocolate chip cookies have no calories whatsoever. Therefore make chocolate chip cookies often but don't eat them.

FOOD ON FOOT: All food eaten while standing has no calories. Exactly why is not clear, but the current theory relates to gravity. The calories apparently bypass the stomach flowing directly down the legs and through the soles of the feet into the floor, like electricity. Walking seems to accelerate this process, so that a frozen custard or hot dog eaten at a carnival actually has a calorie deficit.

CHILDREN'S FOOD: Anything produced, purchased or intended for minors is calorie-free when eaten by adults. This category covers a wide range, beginning with a spoonful of baby tapioca -- consumed for demonstration purposes -- up to and including cookies baked and sent to college.

UNEVEN EDGES: Pies and cakes should be cut neatly, in even wedges or slices. If not, the responsibility falls on the person putting them away to "straighten up the edges" by slicing away the offending irregularities, which have no calories when eaten. If pie or cake is neatly cut, but the remainder is not easily divisible into equal servings, it's also permissible to even things up ... without calorie consequence.

Umm...taste good lunch

2009-10-22T13:07:00.005-05:00

Decided to make a trip to the store today and get some healthy foods. Yup thats a salad your seeing. Tryed out that new ranch spritzer for my salad, but didn't like it too much. It was good yes, had less calories, but I like ranch flavor all over my salad and I kept having to spray it on. Used one of the grillin patties, cut it up into my salad and it gave my salad a good flavor. It was quick and easy. Cut up 2 eggs and 3 cherry tomatoes, a little cheese and croutons...umm umm good. Oh yeah had some Oj with it too.

Late breakfast today

2009-10-22T10:30:00.005-05:00

Kept breakfast simple and quick since its almost lunch time. Used fat free milk, looked like watered milk, but it did the job. I guess.

I'm think I'm gonna skip the gym today. I'm sore all over from yesterdays workout. I did my workout yesterday for an hour and a half, which was good, then I got an invite to the gym late last night. I went for an hour, so I guess that counts for today, need to give my bones a rest.

SmartOne for Lunch

2009-10-21T19:56:00.003-05:00

Breakfast Wed.

2009-10-21T09:08:00.005-05:00

Decided on less oatmeal, toast with jelly and butter, and 3 egg whites. Wow I didn't realize a whole egg has 59 calories and by eliminating the yolk its only 17 calories.

Been hitting the Gym! Yay!

2009-10-20T19:58:00.003-05:00

It feels good to have joined a gym and start pumping some iron. lol. I wasn't gonna go to the gym today, but starting this blog convinced me to go and write about it. Went yesterday, today, and my goal is to go all week. I'll keep you posted.

Breakfast for dinner Oct 20

2009-10-20T19:34:00.003-05:00

Couldn't find much to cook for dinner so I went with bean and cheese tacos with my OJ. That satisfied my hunger. Don't know what happened with lunch, because I was still hungry, couldn't wait for dinner. I did snack a few almonds.

Still hungry...had a snack around 3:30

2009-10-20T16:09:00.004-05:00

I feel like I didn't eat enough for lunch. I'm starving so I decided to snack on these chocolate covered pretzels. Still hungry!

10/20/09... Lunch

2009-10-20T16:04:00.003-05:00

Okay, the left overs were just as good as yesterday. Had less chicken this time and a little more rice. Drank water and more fiber before I ate.

Oct 20, 2009...Oatmeal breakfast

2009-10-20T12:27:00.006-05:00

Is a lot of oatmeal bad? Oatmeal is good for you, but is this too much of a good thing? Had a few Ritz crakers with it and my coffee. Got full fast with the fiber drink I drank before I ate so I only drank half of my coffee.

Overall day For Oct 19th

2009-10-20T10:11:00.000-05:00

I felt my days meals went pretty reasonable, might have over done dinner huh. I did go to the gym that day for an hour and a half. Trying to do this everyday, I'll probably head out in a few to get my workout going. Only other thing I snacked on Monday was some plain almonds had about 8 of them. Not bad.

Oct 19, 2009...Dinner

2009-10-20T10:06:00.000-05:00

Chicken dinner with brown rice. Chicken made on stove top with a little olive oil, marsala wine, and seasonings. Chicken was good! Hubby made it. Umm left overs, guess what I'm eating for lunch today. Yup

Oct 19, 2009...Lunch

2009-10-20T09:54:00.000-05:00

I am a big potato addict and unfortunately I usually overdue my meals with too much, plus I usually fry them. So for my somewhat healthier approach I baked some tator tots in the oven and was equally satisfied with my potato fix. I have been trying the veggie nuggets and I think they're pretty good, plus they have less calories than the chicken nuggets(also baked). Had my meal with some ketchup and with a glass of water.

Oct 19, 2009 Lets start... Breakfast

2009-10-20T09:43:00.000-05:00

My first pic blog...breakfast. Thought is was a reasonable meal, some scrambled eggs(2), canadian bacon(2), and a side of some refried beans. Oh and don't forget the coffee! So tell me what ya think? Was it too much, could I have substituted something for something else? Oh and the paper plate is a standard 8" plate, for those that want to know.
