Eatin' Good in the 20's Neighborhood - MONDAY

Howdy 20-somethings!  Tomorrow begins my spring semester!  Wooo Hooo!  I am so bored it is going to be good to get back to class.  I have been off sice December 20th with not a whole lot to do.  I got my exercise-a-thon on today out in the snow.  We've got about 6 inches and are expecting another 4-6 before it quits!  I normally don't mind snow but we've just had so much of it this winter.  At least it makes for an exercise that burns more calories.  Anyway...on with the menu.... 9:30am - 3 oz espresso, 3 oz skim milk, 6 oz calorie countdown milk, 1 oz sf davinci syrup 20 oz water 1pm - Chicken stir fry 20 oz water 4pm - Chicken noodle (more chicken than noodle...) soup w/ celery and carrots 20 oz water 7pm - 6 slices of pepperoni, 2 slices of provalone cheese and 3 crackers Now I'm sipping on an 8oz glass of orange juice...not to shabby.  How is the eating going out there?

Hey Amy!  Good luck with the start of your next semester!  My day today... 9am - reduced fat string cheese and 1/2 dannon yogurt 12pm - 3 small meatballs with ff ricotta and tomato sauce, 1 sugar free pudding 3pm - 1 kiwi 5pm - chai tea w/skim and splenda (becoming my new addiction!) 7pm - bunless turkey cheeseburger w/ketchup now 9:30 - 1/2 balance bar Hmm I felt like I ate a lot today but looking back that is not too bad. UPDATE: oh right, how quickly I forgot about the handful (6) of peanut m&ms off my coworker's desk.... :)

1030am - slimfast 130pm - slimfast and 4oz cottage cheese.  12 oz crystal light 715pm - s/f pudding cup, and 4 oz chicken broth.  20 oz crystal light (between 3 and 7pm) 930pm - beef broth/mushroom soup and 12 oz water 12am - 1 mozzerella cheese stick and slimfast May I just say I have been peeing all freaking day long.  Also, don't take a multivitamin on an empty stomach unless you WANT to be nauseated.

I start my body makeover plan today. I was going to start yesterday but forgot it was support group night. I didnt end up getting home until almost 830 and was exhausted and was in bed a little after 9. Looking forward to starting today. I have been getting really depressed lately and know exercise will help. I think its from lack of sunshine and have been debating going to the tanning bed a few times as well to see if that well help *sigh* b - trader joes apple-cran fiber muffin s - a few raw almonds l - 3/4ths of a 1/2 of chicken breast bbq style, few bites of rice (mexican leftovers), couple bites of LF cottage cheese, 1/2 a granny smith apple s - light n fit yogurt, rest of cottage cheese (total serving was 1/4th cu) d - salad and turkey, brie, spinach wrap s - dinner was early (before support group) so I was hungry again when I got home.. few bites of baked blue corn chips and fresh salsa I forgot to bring my veggies for my lunch yesterday!!

I did EXTRA good on Monday...b/c Tuesdays are going to be my off day....I have classes on Tuesdays from 830am-700pm with only one small short break from 1130am-1200pm (other than the restroom breaks)....so I'm gonna kick up my protein on Mondays and Wednesdays to hopefully even things out.... B: Carnation Instant Bfast Shake L: 2 small triangles of chicken quesidilla with a little nonfat sour cream S: piece of cheese, 2 crackers D: Nectar Strawberry Kiwi Shake (it was sooo nasty, but I still drank it)...was on the road so couldn't eat something.... S: piece of cheese, 2 crackers

9:30 A.M. half of a oats n honey granola bar 6 oz of orange banana pineapple juice 12:00 P.M. small side order of creamed spinach 6:00 half of a half turkey hot dog no bread 7:00 6oz orange banana pineapple juice I drink water through out the day, we have a water cooler at work so I am continously drinking from that.  I find that some days I can actually eat more, and other days I dont eat at all.  I am finally reached the conclusion that I am not going to force myself to eat (i think that was part of the problem that got me here)  I eat when I am hungry, and when I am full I stop.  On days that I know that I have not eaten I try to at least eat peanut butter toast.  It has a lot of protein.
