sugar be gone...

I know it will be tough but im going to try to cut out any excessive sugar. (the non-natural sugar) I figured cold turkey is not the best way, but weening myself slowly would.  less mood swings. ;-) so today's coffee has one teaspoon of sugar w/ half & half.  also had a Chobani, raspberry. debating on orange, banana, or blueberries for a snack.  I bought mircal whip & tuna to eat on my honey oat sandwich rounds.

what have i done?

so...
Friday morning I had my usual slice of breakfast pizza (not pictured - you've seen it before). I forget what I had for lunch, but I had a "Hot Fudge Friday" at work as a snack.  Then I went to the IGA & picked up some Chester Fried Chicken strips. Uhm lets say that was NOT the best idea. I only ate half of it by the way. (the whole thing was 3 strips, 4 wedges, 1 roll, & potato salad)

I ate like crap over the weekend as I wasn't feeling well and didn't really make an effort.  I did have some baked chicken one of the two days & then the kids had some of it. Jesse finished the chicken from the IGA. I had a nice mothers day but I basically lazed around all day due to girly issues & a headache. I still felt blah on Monday but went to work, had a yogurt, coffee as usual. A slice of pizza & a salad with my Mom for lunch. Didn't have much for supper.

Tuesday I stayed home from work & got up late, had toast & tea & an orange.  Kids met me at the movie theater because by 2 I was feeling much better, and we went to see the Avengers. Which was awesome.  I had popcorn & a little bit of soda (sprite) and then we had stake, rice & peas (pictured)

This morning I had a muffin & a banana, as I didn't have any yogurt left in the fridge, and 2 coffees. For lunch I'm having left over stake rice & peas. And lots of water.  I went for a walk at lunch for the wellness annual walk. Got a free T shirt even though I didn't sign up. They had some left at the end. We went down the hill to the Y & then down the rail trail towards Hallowell & back.  I think it was about 2 or 3 miles. Which I'm not use to walking all at once ESPECIALLY on hills. :-(  Later I'm going to the gym.  So I think I might sleep better tonight than I have been the last few nights.  Update you later on my progress at the gym. :-)  And later in the week we'll discuss my doctors appointment.

got to the gym

Today's breakfast, Chobani, banana, 2 coffees, & water.

Lunch was a veggie burger (not thrilling) with spinach, tomatoes, & onions on it w/ a little blue cheese dressing on sandwich thins (honey wheat). With a couple of slices of pickled beets, some chunks of watermelon, pineapple, & a few green olives.

Got to the gym after work & did two circuits of the training with Jena and some stretching and a few minutes on the treadmill.

same old thing

apparently I again slacked yesterday & didn't update my blog on my food. :-(
breakfast this morning is yogurt,  banana, 2 cups of coffee & water.
lunch is leftover salmon & rice w/ water.

a pork chop & 2 bowls of salad (I cut back on the dressing even though it looks like a lot.) a little glass of almond milk.
2 scoops of ice cream w/ sprinkles & a sugar cone. (way more sugar than I should)

Happy Tuesday

Chobani black cherry yogurt, banana,  coffee & water for breakfast.

I totally forgot to take a picture of my leftover salmon & rice. sorry

met Janna at peppers too work on the class reunion. I ordered the Mediterranean pasta w/ sun dried tomatoes,  capers,  artichoke hearts,  olives, cheese, & chicken.  my favorite dish there. I ate half & brought the other half home. had a cup of chowder first. and water.
check out my new water bottle. 33oz which I find easier to drink two of instead of multiple refills in my glass at my desk.

happy monday

so lets get back to this... because I didn't do my grocery shopping yet I went down & got some oatmeal, not really my thing but I wasn't going to pay $2 for a Greek yogurt. added a spoon of brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon & a little light cream to smooth it out. and as always my typical coffee too.

lots of spinach, peas, broccoli,  chick peas, green pepper,  hot pepper,  green olive,  half an egg, a few cucumbers & tomatoes w/ a vinaigrette dressing and MORE water.

I forgot to take a photo but I had salmon and brown minute rice with peas and chocolate milk for dinner.  After I had a small bowl of ice cream.

Saturday....

felt under the weather all night last night & didn't have supper. I know bad me. felt better late this morning so I had a bagel w/ cream cheese & 3 cups of coffee. drank lots of water & remembered about 5 or so I should have another meal. angel hair pasta w/ garlic power,  a little salt & powered cheese and more water. I really need a filter for my drinking water because something in it is giving me heartburn... :-( I can drink bottled water no prob & the filtered water I do at work, but from the tap here or there not so much. ?

I need to finish reading the book I got, do some shopping & get to it. I know pasta isn't something I should be eating usually.
