View Full Version : Justina's journal
I have been on a diet since the first week of December. I have lost 10 lbs taking Green Tea and spice pills... and dieting.
I am starting weight watchers because my work will reimburse me if I complete the program. I am starting this because it'll help me put into focus the amount of food that I eat so that I can kick myself when I mess up and have to write it down. :D
Yesterday, we got a gym membership. Mine is only for a month, but I"m hoping to get a second job working at the gym, so time will tell if that works out.
For the next 30 days, I will be working out and dieting... and I want to see how well I can do for 30 days!
Monday, 2/11 -
Breakfast - Oatmeal and soymilk
Lunch - steamed broccoli/onions/carrots - Jelly bellies for dessert
Dinner - splurged, don't want to know, Hometown Buffet
Gym: Cardio - steps for 30 mins on level 2 intensity
Oh no you splurged for dinner and we DO want to know what you ate. Haha!
Good luck with the Weight Watchers. I think that it's wonderful that some workplaces are beginning to take an active role in employee health.
Hahhaaa.. I don't even remember all I ate.. I had the biggest dessert I've ever had and that was my day's worth of calories right there. Not happening again.. for a lonnnng time!
Alright, now I gotta learn how to figure out points... but here's today
Tuesday, 2/12
Breakfast - Oatmeal & Soymilk
Lunch - Steamed broccoli and onions, Jelly bellies for dessert (Couldn't keep my eyes open)
Gym - Cardio on the Elliptical for 30 mins
Dinner - 6" veggie sandwich on wheat bread with chipotle mayo, small side salad with honey mustard sauce, and a cup of green chile and chicken soup
Well, Tuesday night I started feeling a little scratch in my throat, and woke up on Wednesday morning to a crazy fever. The fever has since turned to coughing and congestion like crazy, I still haven't made it back to work.
Wednesday, 2/13
Breakfast: nothing
Lunch: Taco Bell (It's my comfort food)
Dinner: Sleep
Oh, feel better! Comfort food and sleep will fix you all up. :flower:
OMG it sure didn't help my weight loss. I think I gained 3 lbs being sick :( I have no appetite, but I ate anyway, and it was once a day on Wed, twice a day yesterday, and I'm forcing myself to eat today!
Thursday 2/14
Breakfast: Nothin
Lunch: Chicken Noodle broth, 2 pieces of wheat toast with jelly, 1 piece of wheat bread with margerine on it.
Dinner: Chicken burrito smothered in enchilada sauce, a small chile relleno (OH I was grossed out, after I ate half my burrito, I realized the "Enchilada sauce" was more like GRAVY... It was just the chicken fat with enchilada seasoning! GROSS). Needless to say I won't be going there any more.
I guess I can get started on today's:
Friday, 2/15
Breakfast 2/3c quick oats with soymilk
Lunch: Subway - 6" Veggie sammich on wheat, loaded with veggies, a little bit of chipotle soutwest sauce, 1 cup of cream of broccoli soup, 1 bag of FF Lays
I guess I can get started on today's:

Lunch: Subway - 6" Veggie sammich on wheat, loaded with veggies, a little bit of chipotle soutwest sauce, 1 cup of cream of broccoli soup, 1 bag of FF Lays
Dinner: Egg salad with chips :purplex:
I stood on the scale tonight... I couldn't believe it. ALL this work that I've been doing over the past 2 months... and I've gained 5 lbs in the 3 days that I've been sick. OH I'm so TICKED.... :bbmad:
Oh no! Chins up!
Maybe you're just holding a little more water weight and stuff right now since you're body hasn't been exactly right as of lately.
Here's hoping that's what it is! :flower:
Still feeling pretty down today... my throat has been killin me, and the sneezing is exhausting.
This morning I got up and made pancakes for breakfast... *note to self - glass pans do not make good pancake pans!* They were burnt on the outside and undone on the inside :(
I love to cook, and when I get to cookin, it's hard to stop... soooo I made a yummyyyy but not so healthy dinner tonight.
Saturday 2/16
Breakfast: 2 small pineapple pancakes with about 2Tbs of peanut butter and 4 Tbs of syrup
Lunch: n/a
Dinner: 1 Calzone loaded with peppers, onions, olives, 3 pieces of pepperoni, and of course.... cheese. 1 serving of pizza casserole (pasta, spaghetti sauce, cheese, olives, onions, peppers, pepperoni)
Haha...sometimes pancakes just don't work out at all! And the first one of that batch...forgetta bout it! It just never works. Pineapple pancakes w/ peanut butter and syrup sound yummy! I love banana pancakes with peanut butter and syrup, myself.
I didn't sleep well last night, so after a 3am coughing bout.. I took some more NyQuill... big mistake.. I didn't get up until 12:15pm this afternoon!!
Lunch @ 3:30: TGIFridays - 1 1/2 mozzarella stix, 3 buffalo wings (why they call em wings is beyond me!), 1 chicken tender - grilled, garlic/tomato/onion pasta.
Alright, so I got some info on the WW meeting that I missed, so I'm going to *try* to keep track of my points on here as well.
I'm allowed 29 points a day for now.... and I don't have much of a points guideline to go by, but I'm going to try:
Monday 2/18
Breakfast: 3/4 cup of dry oatmeal with about 1/2 a cup of soymilk - still working on the points on this one...? (I left my slider at home).
Lunch: Leftover Pizza Casserole - I'm guessing by what little guidance I have that this was about 16 points
Good luck with the WW points. I've heard that once you get it down it's super easy!

I talked with one of my WW buddies, so I'm looking at 2 points for my morning oatmeal, now I have to figure out how much my soymilk is. I'm going to guess 3 points for breakfast if I keep it at that.
Looks like dinner tonight allows me about 9 points - ish.
Good luck with the WW points. I've heard that once you get it down it's super easy!
Thanks Keely! I hope it's as easy as everyone says it is. I missed the first meeting, so after Thursday (my WW meeting) I'm sure I'll be a lot more comfortable with the points.

Tuesday 2/19

Lunch: 1.5 cups of homemade Chicken Noodle soup (6 points) 1/2 cup steamed broccoli (0 points), 5 steamed carrot sticks (.25 point hehee)
Well, for dinner I used some of my weekly 35 extra points....
5 pieces of pizza.... :bbmad: 35 points total for dinner, which means I went 16 points over - which means I have 19 variance points left for the week. I can deal with that :upsidown:
Matt just had to go and mention Del Taco for lunch... and he offered to buy, so who am I to turn down a free meal :laugh:
Wednesday 2/20
Breakfast: Oatmeal and soymilk (4 points)
Lunch: 2 chicken soft tacos (5 pts each = 10 points), homemade calzone (I'm guessing 10 points since it was a little bigger than a piece of pizza).
Looks like you're already getting a hang of the points thing. Awesome!

Thanks, I carry around the slider and my first week booklet... today is my first official meeting (supposed to be the second, but I was sick last week).
I stood on the scale this morning and couldn't believe it! I haven't been this weight in about 8 months! *fingers crossed* I just hope that the numbers continue to treat me nicely :D :D :D
Oh my gosh, congrats on the weight loss!
Let us know how the meeting goes!
Well, I went to the meeting, it went well. However I got an email from one of our managers afterwards, saying that if we want to continue to go to our meetings, we have to clock out - that since we're "hourly employees" they're not going to pay us for our hour we are in the meeting.
BS I say... They didn't tell us this when they asked us to sign up... I'm going to HR about it... I'll let ya know how that goes.

that stinks!!
BTW.. spice pills? What is this??
that stinks!!
BTW.. spice pills? What is this??
Spice pills - Maggie Drozd's spice and green tea pills. I stopped taking them, even though I lost some weight on them. Weight Watchers is easier than the diet that I had to follow in the pills.
Ugh, if you have to start clocking out that will suck. :purplex:

Thanks for coming to my journal!
Thanks :)
Holy cow! I just tallied up the points in a Chipotle Chicken Burrito.... 25 points!!!!!! BOOOO!!! I LOVE Chipotle :(
Yeah, chipotle burritos are yummy and huge! Maybe just eat half? :purplex:
Yeah, chipotle burritos are yummy and huge! Maybe just eat half? :purplex:
Half is so hard cuz it's soooo good! But yes, they're huge. Maybe I'll stick to the burrito bol. I think the burrito bol, as long as I don't get sour cream or cheese, is like 13 points. I can handle that :) I'm going to tally up the Bol in my WW website calculator :D
A bol is a good option, or what about their soft tacos? that's usually what I get because I can never eat a whole (or even 1/2 it seems like) burrito
Never tried their soft tacos, but I do know the tortilla is very contributive to the points!
Do you use the WW Website? I've found that with the book, I am allowed 29 points, but with the website I'm allowed only 26 points....
Yep, I use the website. I have found the same thing with the calculator (hand held) and the calculator on the site. And I also bought the food guides, and sometimes points are different between there and the site. I usually just go by what the site says, since that is where I log my food.
Are you on the flex plan? How many flex points to you use on average?

Are you on the flex plan? How many flex points to you use on average?
Yes, I'm on the flex plan. I've decided to go by the site rather than the book... I average about 28-30 points a day in the past week, but since yesterday was my first official meeting, I'm starting today on the 26 plan rather than the 29 that the book says. Now that I have the website, it's a lot easier to keep track of the exact points! :D
Yep, the website is so nice! I'm going back to a meeting on Monday...I hope they let me "start over." I haven't been going to meetings for several weeks now, and I want a fresh start.
I've been doing flex, but I'm kind of considering core...but I'll have to look into it more.

I'm afraid if I do core I'll still eat too much... I figure I can control my weight loss a lot more if I am limited on quantity of food.
I hope they let you start over! :D

The veggie delite was only 0 points because I didn't use bread, mayo, cheese. It was veggies and mustard only, in the tortilla wrap. So the only points were from the wrap :D
OMG Snow peas are my new favorite snack!! :D

Costco baybee!!! Mom and I went to Costco yesterday and I asked her to buy a bag of them and told her we'd split them. When we got home she told me to take em all (like a 2 lb bag). So I started munching on them, and stuck one in her mouth (DOH!!!). So she ended up taking about 1/3 of em :)
I think I'm going to get some snow peas next time I go shopping.
Good Subway tip...tortillas!

Justina,
I did WW super successfully a few years ago (lost 76 lbs in 8 months) and learned that the closer I ate to my real points range, the better I did with my loss. Be careful not to put yourself into starvation mode by not eating enough. You body won't let go of the weight if it wonders when and where you are going to get your next meal. If you aren't hungry and still need to get in points, have some peanut butter or something to push you closer to your points for the day. Keep up the good work! You are doing great!
Kelly
Thank you Kelly! Eating 5 times a day is hard for me, but oddly enough, I'm now hungry 5 times a day, so I"m trying to snack on carrot sticks, snow peas, whatever is very low or no points. Just to keep my metabolism moving. So far I feel great! Thank you for the tips, and that's a great idea about the peanut butter! When it's hard for me to get all my points in a day, I'll remember that all I need is a candy bar, scoop of ice cream, or some peanut butter hehe :)

Lunch: 2 Fresco Tostadas (8 pts total)
Snack: 1 pkg WW Ravioli (5 points), 1/2 cup snow peas (.5 points)
Ugh.. not doing well today. Had to go get our passports today, so we ended up missing lunch at work, so I had Taco Bell and when we got back I ate my ravioli I had at my desk. Grrnesss. 5 points left... I can manage cereal tonight :D
Oh I can kick myself! A couple friends invited us to Red Lobster tonight... Yeah I should have said no, but it was so refreshing to hang out with them that it was *almost* worth the extra points!
I won't go into detail on what I ate, let's just say I went 15 points over my limit.... Although I still have extra points left over for my week.... 15 is still a bit much to splurge on in one day. So, we just got home and I'm going to bed. Tomorrow *if my pens don't come* we will be going to the gym.

Hey Justina what are the snow peas?

You seem to have the control over your nutrition with the WW program. You are doing well, arent you?

Thank you! I was doing great until yesterday - then I went to Red Lobster (a seafood restaurant), and I went over on my points, then had the left overs today. But I'm not going over on my points today! I don't care what comes up. I'll eat cereal before I go out anywhere, but I'm not supposed to go anywhere tonight - supposed to clean house and work on my glasses... soooooo cereal and hopefully fruit tonight!
Grrnesss... gotta go grocery shopping, I'm outta fresh fruit and veggies :(

Wow you're going great on your ticker!
Is there a difference in points from the regular cheetos or baked cheetos? I'm just curious, I saw the baked and figured, why not try them, but there's something about the taste...
You've been doing so well!

Thanks! I go weigh in tomorrow.. keepin my fingers crossed it can move again tomorrow! :D
Heh.. I thought there was a difference between baked and regular cheetoos, there's only a 40 calorie difference, which means 1 bag of baked cheetoos are 4 points.. Grrnesss... No more of those for me. The fat free lays are only 75 calories per serving and they taste fantastic!!! I thought when I got the baked cheetoos (from a vending machine), that they'd be something like the Lays, but not even close. But they sure were yummy!!!
Dinner: 1 WW Enchilada Suiza - 6 points, 1/2 cup pink grapefruit juice (1 point), 1 corn tortilla (.5 points)

And thank you Keely! :flower:
I love how you say "Grrr". I thought I was the only one! Haha.

Breakfast: Oatmeal and soymilk - 3.5 points.
Weigh in is today! Just my luck it's the end of the month for me, so I'm not feelin too hot :purplex:
*snack* I found a sinful but not so sinful snack.... Nabisco 100 calorie pack Chips Ahoy! Yummyyy!!! - 2 points.
Good Luck at the weigh-in!!
DOH! I gotta keep up here :) I went to the weigh in and I've lost 3 lbs in the past week :D :D
Lunch was homemade chicken noodle soup - 2 points, and I snacked on some snow peas and a kudo around 2pm. So far, I have 16 points left..... But we're going out to the drive in tonight with our friends (just found out!) so I might be eating a couple slices of pizza.... maybe I'll get a salad and splurge on popcorn :D
:ura1: Yay!! You are doing great!!:ura1:

Thanks!
Dinner yesterday: Chipotle!!! Salad with chicken, rice, beans, guacamole, cheese, pico de gallo, and 1 tbs of their salad dressing - 17 points (roughly - every server serves different portions, and she was skimpy, but I tallied the points up by using their nutritional value sheet per item).
Yesterday's total: 27 points (my new goal is 28 since we recalculated them yesterday).

Today I went to a baby shower. I did realll good until it was almost time to leave. I figured it was 3:30pm and all I'd had were 6.5 points all day, and I was hungry! So I munched a bite here and a bite there, and I think I remember everything - so I tallied it up when I got home tonight. Wasn't much food, but it sure wasn't healthy food. I guessed on the chocolate/coconut bar that I had and I think I guessed high - not sure though. So I just won't have a snack before I go to bed tonite :D
Saturday 3/1
Breakfast: 1/2 cup of snow peas on the road (.5 point), 1 Nutter Butter 100 calorie pack (2 points), 1 WW Chicken and cheese quesadilla (4 points).

Dinner: 4 Morningstar sausage patties (5.5 points), 2 Tbs mustard (0 points)
Today I slept till about 9:30 then didn't even eat till almost noon... so I ate two pretty large meals today. I ate breakfast and then did yardwork for about 3 hours, then for 5 more hours I worked on Matt's truck with him.... so I think my activity points made up for the extra couple points I had for dinner.
After workin on his truck all day, Matt wanted to thank me for helping him, so he treated me to Panda Express - I can still count on 1 hand how many times he has gone with me to Panda, and that's one of my favorite places to go.
Sunday, 3/2
2 Morningstar Farms Sausage patties (vegetarian - 2.5 points)

8 jelly bellies (.5 points)
Dinner: Panda Express Chow mein (I'm guessing 6 points), Tofu (3.5 points), Eggplant with red peppers (5 points).

I'm so confused with Oatmeal. WW website says that 1/2 a cup of dry oatmeal is 2 points.. well after I add water it ain't a half a cup anymore... so I am not sure how to calculate oatmeal. I had half a cup of oatmeal this morning and after it got wet it was more like a whole cup. So we're going to go with a whole cup just to be sure.
Breakfast: 1/2 cup dry oatmeal = 1 cup oatmeal (5.5 points), 1 tsp peanut butter (1 point), 1 banana (2 points)
Snack: WW Choco raspberry bar (1 point), WW lemon cake (1 point)
Lunch: 1 pkg Yves Vegan Salami (3 points), 1 Tbs light mayo (1 point), mustard and hotsauce (0 points)

The best thing do do is to look at the box for the fiber, calories and fat. Usually it has a before and after (if you add milk) section. This will tell you how many points it is. The website is a great guidlein, but the slider will give you your definate number you are looking for! Great job! Keep it up!
You're right.. I think I'll do that when I get home. Thanks!

;) No problem! I am on WW too! We will have to swap tips on yummy foods!
Heck yeah! Sounds good to me!
One thing I want to find is how many points a cake is. You know the WW cake you can make with soda instead of eggs and milk? Have you made those before? I've made em, love em, and can't find how many points they are.
Saturday 3/8
Breakfast: 1/2 small red apple (0.5 points)
Like I said before, it's SO HARD to be honest on here!!! But honest I must be, so I'll post my whole lunch:
Lunch: Fresh Choice with dad - his treat. It looks like a lot, but most of it is a Tablespoon here and there and for my points, I rounded up on everything.. but this is *everything* that I had while I was there:
Salad greens (0 points) about 8 Olives (1 point), Fresh onions, soybeans and beets (0 points), 2 Tbs corn kernels (0.5 point), FF Honey Dijon (1 point), 1/2 cup noodles with spaghetti sauce (4 points), Zucchini bread (3/4 serving: 3 points), Bread pudding (3 points), 1/2 cup herbed rice (3 points), 1/2 cup Vegan Veggie lentil soup (1 point), 1/2 cup greek artichoke and lemon rice soup (1 point), 2 bites of herbed red potatoes (.5 point), 1 small slice of pepperoni pizza (3 points), 1/8 cup chocolate pudding (1 point), 1/4 serving soft serve (0.5 point), 3 grams toasted coconut topping (0.5 point), 1 tsp caramel topping (0.5 points).

1 WW Calzone (6 points), 1 homemade quesadilla with corn tortillas (5 points).
Total for yesterday (3/7) was 25.5
Breakfast: Manchu Wok - Veggie chow mein (6 points), mushroom tofu (4 points), orange chicken (4 points)

YES!!!! Those cakes are YUMMY!!! If you look at the cake box (not all of them have this, so you will have to check before you buy it) It will say the nutritional values on it for just the mix, and then when you use the diet soda it adds no points!!!
Have you tried the NO Pudge Brownies! OMG!!! I LOVE THEM!!!
No I haven't tried the brownies... do you use soda for those too? I've only made the cakes, and some of em are SO YUMMY!!!
Some of my favorites:
Vanilla cake mix + Orange soda = Oranges and cream cake!
Vanilla cake mix + Strawberry soda = Strawberries and cream cake!
Banana cake mix + Strawberry soda = banana strawberry cake!
Chocolate cake mix + dr. pepper or cola = yummyness!
Almost any cake mix with cream soda is fantastic as well!
Today I did bad.. stopped at the gas station for Matt's soda on our way to work, and I got a fritter :purplex:
I don't know how many points fritters are, so I just went with a donut listed in the WW website - but I went with the biggest donut on there which was 7 points.
Breakfast: 1 Fritter (7 points), 1/2 cup oatmeal (2.5 points), 1 Tbs peanut butter (2 points)
Lunch: WW Smart Ones Ziti pasta dish (6 points), 1 WW carrot cake (1 point), 1 banana (2 points)

No Pudge is actually the Brand. It is only two points for the brownie. You mix the powder with FF vanilla yogurt. SOOOOO good! I think that I might make a cake tonight!

Mix a box of Angel food cake mix with a large can of crushed pineapple, juice and all. (Mix it in a big bowl, as the acid in the pineapple will cause the cake mix to expand)
Bake it in a 9x13 pan at 350 til it is golden brown on the top (about 25-30 minutes if I remember right)
This cake is so YUMMY and about 3 points per slice if you cut the cake into 12 slices. (so this is a pretty good size chunk of cake which was always important to me! I'm a quantity girl!)
I'm gonna have to look it up thank you! Cake sounds good.. I have some mix at home. Have you ever tried making brownies with soda?? I wouldnt' think it would work, but I'm going to try it!
Oooh Thank you Kelly! I'll have to give that a shot too!

CELEBRATION CAKE
Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix
3 Egg Whites or ¾ cup Egg Substitute
1/3 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1 sm can Mandarin Oranges in Juice
Frosting:
8 oz Cool Whip Lite
1 pkg Sugar Free Instant Pudding Mix (dry)
1 sm can Crushed Pineapple in own Juice
Preheat oven 350. Spray an 13 x 9 pan with cooking spray. Mix the cake mix, egg whites, apple sauce, and the oranges with their juice. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cake completely.
For the frosting, gently fold together the Cool Whip, the pudding mix and the pineapple with its juice. Frost the cake. The frosted cake should be stored in the refrigerator.
18 servings, 3 POINTS each (I think 12 servings would be about 4 points each)
It is a little work, but worth it! No one ever knew it was a WW recipe when I would bring it to work!

1-POINT BROWNIE REVISED
3/4 C flour
1/4C plus 2 T cocoa powder
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C Splenda
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 C unsweetened applesauce
3 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
Combine flour, cocoa, sugar, Splenda, baking soda, and salt and mix well. Stir in applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla. Spray an 8" square baking pan with cooking spray. Spread batter evenly in the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 min. or until the edges are firm and the center almost set.
16 servings, 1 point each
These are cakey brownies rather than fudgy brownies. I think they are as good as the No Pudge mix, and they are only 1 point instead of 2 points. I usually cut these into 8 servings for a nice-sized 2 point brownie.
Tip: I found unsweetened applesauce in single-serving containers. That way I don't have to open a big jar of applesauce when I want to make these.

Here we go for today:
Thursday 3/13
Breakfast: 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal (2 points), 1.5 Tbs jelly (1.5 points)
Weigh in is next!
Ugh.... I was exactly the same weight as I was last thursday. I haven't been able to go grocery shopping in 3 weeks almost, so tomorrow when I get paid I'm gettin lots of fruits and veggies. This is going to be a long week. I better see results next week. :(
Keep your head up! Your body may be shocked from the decrease in cals and need to readjust. Lots of fruist & veggies surely will help!
Thanks Keely.
I am making a shopping list right now. I get paid at midnight tonight, so I get to go shopping tomorrow after work.
So far:
Jolly Time popcorn (1 point per bag!!)
Peas
Carrots
Bananas
Whole Wheat Tortillas
Whole Wheat Bagels
FF Cream Cheese
Need some other snack ideas - fruit and veggie wise. I can't manage the same stuff over and over and over - I'm so tired of it. So I'm going to try to go for variety.

Do you have any different kinds of dips that you use with your fruits/veg? Like veg: hummus, yogurt/ranch mix, salsa, salsa verde, salsa mixed w/ light cream cheese, guacamole, or fruit: yogurt w/ agave & almonds or peanut butter w/ yogurt.
I have a hard time coming up with new snacks too. Lately I've been eating whole grain crackers w/ a big slice of tomato, & just a very thin slice of cheese. I've also been big on oranges for some reason. Maybe I'm low on vitamin c and my body is trying to tell me?
Well, good luck. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Keely! Dips are now on the list. I would munch on Oranges and Tomatoes more often, but I get heartburn from both of them. I even get heartburn from bananas and carrots if I don't eat anything with them. But I'd rather deal with the heartburn than snack on processed foods.
Yayyy I get to go shopping today!
That's so rough to have to work around particular diet needs. I couple of months ago I was shopping at the grocery store. I was grabbing a container of tofu and then went down the aisle and got some soy milk. I guess that a lady was watching me do that because she approached me and asked me how I cooked the tofu, etc. It turns out her baby was just diagnosed with a condition where she could not have any animal protein. The lady didn't know what else to give her except for tofu. She was nearly in tears and said that she felt helpless. I went around the store shopping with her and showing her the different types of non tofu protein. Anyways, moral of the story is that I went home feeling so very thankful. I can't eat a lot of dairy, caffeine, or fat w/o having digestion issues but in the spectrum of things that's nothing. I shouldn't be eating those things anyways! :happy:
Good luck and have fun shopping healthy at the store!
Wow... that's so sad!! That's awsome that you helped her though!
Havne't gone shopping yet...
Friday (:whoohoo:) 3/14
Breakfast: quick oats and jelly (3.5 points)
Lunch: 3 bites of mashed potatoes from last night (.5 points), 1 lean pocket 6 points), 1.5 servings of homemade chicken noodle soup (2.5 points)
Wow... I just realized how much I love hummus. I hit Safeway's health food aisle and picked up some garlic hummus, lowfat cream cheese, whole wheat tortillas, and some grillers and veggie patties. Now I have to go to the other grocery store (without Matt cuz he hates shopping) and get the rest of the groceries.
Snack - may be dinner, didn't want to go grocery shopping hungry: 1 slice of whole wheat toast (1 point), 1 Tbs chive low fat cream cheese (1 point), 1 Tbs Garden Veggie lowfat Cream cheese (1 point), 1 whole wheat tortilla (medium - 1 point), 2 Tbs Hummus (.5 points).

So I went grocery shopping and got tons of veggies. When I got home I made a big veggie soup out of the broth from the mashed potatoes from last night's dinner.
Veggie soup (0 points!!)
2 Leeks
2 small green onions (cuz I had them layin around)
bout a cup of carrots chopped
1/2 cup broccoli
1/2 cup cauliflouer (sp?)
A bunch of collard greens I had put in the freezer and now don't have room for
fresh basil
1/2 tomato chopped
Boiled it all for about 40 mins.
Gonna portion it out in 1 serving containers and freeze it somehow. I'm excited, I'm going to be eatin this for awhile :)
Keely, or anyone, any idea how many calories are in a fresh beet?
Yummm...that soup sounds so good. I love just throwing a bunch of things (that you need to get out of the fridge) into a pot and seeing what happens. Somehow, it's always way better than any recipe. We got some fresh collards from the farmer's market this morning...$2.00 for a big bunch! I think I'll make some black eyed peas to go with them.
I would think that a fresh beet (the normal smallish size) would be about 40 calories. More calories than the same size of veggie and less than that in fruit.
Thank you!! I wasn't sure how many calories are in fresh fruits/veggies. I ate a fresh beet last night - well 2 bites of one. They taste like DIRT :rofl: so I'm going to try to figure out how to fix em so they taste better. I love em pickled.
Alright, today's journal:
3/15, Saturday
Breakfast: On the road: 2 taquitos (11 points) OUCH
We're going out to dinner in 2 hours, so I'm sure I'll be dipping into the rest of my points... pasta:purplex: I LOVE pasta :purplex:
I looove pasta too. At home we have whole wheat pasta so it has a lot of vitamins/minerals, fiber, etc. I don't feel bad eating it until I top it with some cr@ppy creamy sauce!
Yeah, I'm not the biggest beet fan, in general. I like a salad at Grand Lux Cafe that has small chunks of yellow beet mixed with all kinds of other stuff. It gives it an earthy flavor. Chad cooked with them in culinary school and he liked them. I'll have to see what kind of magic he worked on them!
Oh man, I even went to the Old Spaghetti Factory website and decided AHEAD of time that I was going to have the Eggplant Parmigiana.. and they were one of the few that didn't serve it!!!
So I'm like ok, the clam sauce is low on calories let me try that - YUCK!!!
So I ended up getting the Chicken Marsala which was FIFTEEN POINTS! On top of the little dinner salad I had with a little bit of dressing and a piece of french bread. UGH.
So I went WAY over today. Here is my summary:
Breakfast: 2 Taquitos on the road (10 points)
Lunch: Subway - Veggies in a tortilla (3.5 points)
Dinner: House salad with Creamy Pesto dressing (SO YUMMY - 6 points!), 1 piece of french bread (2 points), Chicken Marsala with pasta (15 points - ish), 1/4 cup Spumoni (3.5 points).
I won't even list my total :(
Oh no...you tried to do a good thing and decide ahead of time and then it all got screwed up. It's really unfortunate that the safest thing to get at an American Italian restaurant is pasta w/ marinara sauce. I never get that though...it's boring. Real Italian food is generally so much healthier. :purplex:
I hope that you enjoyed your evening and didn't fret too much about your food choices. Just have an extra good food day tomorrow. :happy:

I thought about getting just pasta marinara, but red sauce gives me heart burn, so I tried the clam sauce which was half the calories of my favorite dish there (Spaghetti with browned butter and white mizithra cheese), and the clam sauce was nasty (the lady gave me alittle sample to taste). So I had to choose fast cuz EVERYONE at our table (14 people) were waiting on ME to order. I'm like hmmm.... at least the Chicken Marsala isn't too bad - then I realized it had my favorite pasta on it. OOPS. But it was soooo yummy!!! That's the first time I've had real pasta since I started WW.
I will be careful today for sure!!
Umm... maybe not for sure - I have another baby shower to go to. We'll see how that goes!
Oh my gosh I know all about spur of the moment decisions. Chad's family will decide rather quickly and his dad will say that they are all ready w/o checking to see if everybody is ready or not. Of coarse I never know what I want so I"m always rushed.
Have fun at the baby shower!

Looks like you are doing good with the WW points. I have been watching what I am eating and doing more exercise and I have lost about 8 lbs. It started off with my mom and I doing a combination of the South Beach and Atkins Diets. UGH talk about stressful. I love food and when you tell me I can't have something I don't like it. I know one thing that has helped a lot for keeping lbs. off is not drinking soda. FH has cut back on soda and started working out more and has lost 16lbs. (somedays it makes me feel like I am living in that commercial about the weight loss) I try to eat small meals with snacks throughout the day so I don't pig out at meals and not eat anything else throughout the day.
I also started watching Biggest Loser and have gotten a lot of great tips from the trainers. One of the biggest things that I did learn was don't skip meals because you need the calories to cut calories.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! :goodluck:
What is your biggest weakness when it comes to food or snacking? Mine has to be candy.....just ask anyone I know they would totally agree! (in high school I was involved in sports and one of the other mothers asked mine how does she stay so skinny.....her reply was doritos, soda, and candy lots of candy - haha!)

Thanks!!! The thing I like about Weight Watchers is I can eat ANYTHING I WANT, but just in smaller portions. It's great!! You're right, don't skip meals. It's hard not to skip meals though cuz I'm used to eating like 2 a day maybe on the weekends, and I have to force myself to eat in the mornings.
My biggest weakness... I haven't been to Taco Bell or Chipotle in way too long :( But I'm managing! Today is weigh in... update in an hour and 15 minutes!!!!!

Ohh you are on the weight watchers points thing?? I should have and prob did know this but I try to avoid this section like the plague!! How do you like it? I tried it a while ago and it really worked but I got poor and stopped! Sounds like you eat so healthy..great job:bblol:

That's alright, I don't blame you for avoiding this section! It has been working for me. And the only reason I've been eating healthy for the past week is cuz I was able to splurge on groceries on Friday. I learned the hard way that if the body doesn't get fresh fruits and veggies, no matter what else you eat, you're not going to lose. If you look at my journal from 2 weeks ago for a week you'll understand.
I have been trying to snack on veggies and fruit only, maybe some popcorn or something totally low on calories. I love that a lot of this healthy food that I've gotten is so yummy!!!
I also learned that I can eat fast food!! Carls Jr. has a BBQ Chicken sandwich that comes on a whole wheat bun and it's worth 7 points! Totally psyched!
I have been using the Weight Watchers Smart Ones frozen meals for when I can't make anything from scratch. They're cheapest at Walmart (like $1.63 ea), and then Target is about $2 ea. But if you find them at a grocery store they're usually on some sort of sale. They taste FANTASTIC too!!!
You should try it, Just figure roughly that 50 calories is 1 point. Unless it's like butter or something like that. When the fat grams are so high then the points go up. If you have any questions let me know!!
WOOHOO!!! I've doubled my weight loss since I started WW!!!! I lost 4.2 Lbs this week!!!!

I wish I had your dedication! I've tried everything from dieting, to just eating right, to going to the gym everyday. I'm stuck in this weight limit and I can't get back to the body I know I have. My FH always says I look beautiful but that doesn't help when I still think I'm ugly and fat! Good luck :)

Thank you! The one thing I learned that really helps, is only buy the healthy foods. If you have cookies and chips and candy in the house, yer bound to eat it (well, I am anyway!), so I just don't buy it anymore and the temptation is not there anymore unless we go out. I also think about my April deadline - my dress doesn't fit me right now, and my goal is to put it on the first of May and have it fit *fingers crossed*!!!

HI!!! I was thinking about you yesterday (we made the cake with diet soda-fh has never had it before) Just wanted to check in and see how you were doing?
We found a few new things shopping last week that I thought I would share with you;Log Cabin Sugar Free Syrup, Egg Beaters (not as gross as it sounds-we use it in cooking too)), Check to make sure that you are using a low point bread (we use Healthy Choice 2 pieces of bread = 1 pt) Morning Glory Veggie Burgers, Special K Protein bars (they are three points, but they really fill you up and they help with a chocolate fix) Fiber One Carmel Delight Cereal.... That is all I can remember right now! Hope all is well!

I don't remember if you said you have tried the No Pudge Brownies (they are great by the way) If they don't have them in your area here is a recipie that a lady gave me from work that I thought I would pass along to you.
BLACK BEAN BROWNIES
1 Box Betty Crocker Low Fat Fudge Brownie Mix
1 (15oz.) Can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
1 Cup Water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Puree the beans and water together until smooth. Stir into the brownie mix until combined. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray. Puree the mixture into the pan and bake for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the side of the pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely and then cut into 24 pieces. Don't worry, you can't taste the beans. This brownie is more like a dense cake like brownie.

I can seriously, NO JOKE, eat Panda Express every single day 2 times a day - and not complain about anything but my budget :) Their eggplant tofu is fantastic (once in a great while you'll get a batch that isn't fully cooked)!! Their chow mein is great - and they have veggie dishes as well.
And thank you :happy:

Oh wow I never knew that!!
A few reminders when you visit Panda Express:
Our entrées are prepared using a chicken base; we do not offer vegetarian meals
We do not add MSG to our food
We use only 100% pure soybean oil in the preparation of our recipes
We do not offer gluten-free entrées or side dishes
Haha...go figure, right?! :bblol: Well, thanks for the info!
Atleast they don't use MSG. That's awesome! I guess I'll have to stick to PF Chang's for my eggplant stir-fry. Yummm.

Carrots are soo easy to eat at work - they kinda give me heartburn if I don't eat em with anything though.
I loved their thin crust appetizer pizza! Matt's mom got that one and shared it with me - with basil and tomatoes on it... Mmmm!!!!
I don't think that I've ever had the thin crust before. I'll have to give it a try...so much healthier!

Yum, hummus. I have some beautiful organic carrots in the fridge just begging to be dipped in hummus, but the chickpeas are dried and I'm in no mood to soak them. I also don't know if our tahini is still good and I'm not going to the grocery store either! Lazy, I know... ;)
What is fresh choice?

I think Athenos Roasted Garlic is my favorite so far!! I love hummus - and I only realized it cuz of you Keely :happy:

Carrots have been giving me heartburn lately, so I've been trying to eat them with something -but that adds points to my snack :bbmad: So when I get paid next week I'm going to shop for not so acidic veggies to snack on.
But you're right, they don't really go well together.
I'm going to make that Remoulade this week I hope!!
Gosh, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that problematic heartburn. I've never known of anybody else who gets heartburn from carrots or some of the other things that give you heartburn. :purplex: I hope that the remoulade doesn't give you heartburn because it's kinda spicy!!

Thanks. Here's a fact: I'm a wierdo! I can eat peppers/chile's that type of spicy, and I'm fine! I can eat hot sauce galore, and I'm fine. But when I get to eating like Bananas, Carrots, Tomatoes, marinara type sauce, citrus, apples - that all gives me heartburn. Sometimes I can eat something processed with them and it doesn't hurt as bad - but spaghetti gets me every time :(
So I made the remoulade today. I used too much lemon (cuz I didn't have limes) and I didn't have fresh cilantro. So I made my own rendition of it I guess LOL. It was a little too lemony, but it was pretty durned spicey!! But it was YUMMY! I used it as a salad dressing and potato dip for dinner :) Thanks for the recipe! I'm going to have to make it according to the directions next time - with lime and cilantro instead of lemon and italian seasoning LOL.
Nooo you're not a weirdo, you're just unique. ;) Atleast you have figured out what triggers it and what doesn't. I'm glad that you enjoyed the remoulade. It's so versatile. I'm a sucker for cilantro so we pretty much always have it around!
Wow I didn't realize how far behind I was on here! Oops!

May I ask why you drink soymilk instead of normal low fat milk?
May I ask why you drink soymilk instead of normal low fat milk?
You sure may :)
I was raised vegan/vegetarian. I have never had a glass of milk in my life. The thought of it grosses me out - I don't know why, cuz I eat meat and I eat cheese LOL.

Jack in the Box - 5 spicy chicken bites (6 points), 3 mozzarella sticks (6 points), 3 stuffed jalapenos (5 points), side salad with balsamic vinaigrette (1 point)

Weird, but I stopped drinking milk a loooong time before I stopped eating meat and a heck of a long time before my current attempt to stop eating anything with dairy in it. I did research about what milk was actually composed of and that did it right there. I just didn't ever want to gulp down a glass of that stuff again. I truly think that cow milk is for baby cows and human milk is for humans. BUT I still love cheese, darnit! :D
:cloppy: :cloppy:

:rofl: You made me LOL literally. I never did the research, but after pouring a cup for one of the boys at the group home I was working at and I saw chunks come out of a fresh gallon of milk - I bout lost it!
I have no desire to try it.

LOL. Spicy Bamboo shoots.. I told my dad that I remembered having them when I was younger and I liked them - so he found them and got me some for my birthday hehe... and I brought a few to work to munch on. Needless to say they're a little too spicy for munching HAHA.
Bamboo shoots are yummy! I've never had spicy ones though.
You're doing good! You could have done a lot worse than a sub!! :grinhappy:

You burned most of the pizza I think:D

Ew, a pulled muscle doesn't sound like much fun! :bbeek:
Woah, his blood pressure is high! I know that you're going to be so supportive though and help him lose the weight. Now you can work on being healthy together and that's great. :grinhappy:
We're talking about going on the 'Subway' diet... ONLY as long as the footlong sandwiches are $5 :happy: But when they go back up, then we'll have to figure something else out. BUT, Subway AND Quiznos are doing the $5 footlong deal right now. So I"m thinking, if we get a footlong each at lunch, and eat 6" for lunch and save the other 6" for dinner - then eat a big salad with em, then we'll be doing good. I'm going to try to get Matt to do that with me between now and the wedding and see how well we do. We both need to eat healthier, so.... fingers crossed!!
Watch out for all of the sodium in the lunch meats because of his blood pressure!

Agreed! So I'm trying to get him to go with Turkey or Chicken cuz I know that ham is a lot saltier than the other two..... But they're still a cut down from what he usually eats :)
Good! The oven roasted chicken breast has 830 mg, the roast beef has 900, and then the turkey breast is 1000. Those values are for the 6 inchers. I'm not crazy, I just happened to have a nutrition guide menu in my purse! I have one for jamba juice too. Haha. :D
Thank you for reminding me about the Subway deal, by the way. I'm so getting a Subway tomorrow! lol
Thanks!!! Wow, the turkey is a lot! I haven't had any good experiences with their chicken, so I'm gonna recommend the roast beef then... although it's not on special :urgh:
