It's Hard to Get Back on Track

Once I get thrown off the routine of keeping track of what I eat, it seems like it's hard for me to get back on track.

However, I've not gained any weight back.  I'm just not losing.   I need to keep a closer watch on what is going in...

I take that back.  I've gained 3 to 4 pounds a couple times, but I've got it back off.   I'm sure part of it was fluid, but part of it was all that eating I did while having a house full of people here during the power outage.  My eating is just not the same when I've got someone else to feed and eat along with them-- especially grandkids.   I get kind of "junkie" then with chips, cookies, hotdogs, and such like.

Tuesday, May 10

I didn't eat anything until around 11 or after.  Then I finished up the steak, onions, and celery I cooked yesterday.

Around three I ate some pancakes made with cottage cheese and pancake mix.

Then for supper I had a Marie Callender's chicken pot pie, but this one was a ONE service pie--unlike some of the ones I have purchased in the past.   One serving was still around 600 calories, but that's better than 1200.   They are so good, I could eat the whole thing.  It wasn't until after I had eaten a couple of them that I looked more closely at the servings and saw that I was eating TWO servings.   Shame on me.  But that was back before I started this endeavor to lose weight.

I may eat some cereal, if I have any, before I go to bed.   (My cereal may have disappeared when the grandkids were here.

Monday, May 9 Getting Back on Track

The last post I made was April 26.  On April 27, our state--along with others-- made history.   We had the worst tornadic activity since records have been kept.   Power was out in North Alabama for many days.   I was fortunate that mine was only out for about 18 hours.   My son, his wife and their children came to stay with me until they got power back.   So, needless to say, it was not a time that I was thinking about calories.


Then came Mother's Day and I went out to eat three different times on that weekend.  I really didn't do so badly on the first two trips.   But when I went to Donato's Pizza, I ended up eating way more pizza that I should have.


So, yesterday I determined to get off the three pounds I had gained back as soon as possible.  I ate lightly yesterday.


Breakfast:  A breakfast bar and a banana
Snack:  Four nuts and a few Quaker Oats Cheddar Cheese rice snacks
Lunch:  A Michelina's dinner that didn't even have 300 calories
Supper:  Stir fried celery, onion, and steak with some pineapple slices
Snack:  An apple and about 3 peanut butter crackers.


On Tuesday morning, I was already back down to where I had been.

No Records Kept This Week

The bad storms and tornadoes, power outages, etc. have changed my schedule drastically and I have in house company, so I've not been keeping track of what I'm eating.

Week Six/Day Two (Tuesday)

 About 11:30   Cheese toast with some onion and hot sauce on it and a glass of diet green tea.

Lunch:  I bought a "4.99 special" from Popeye's of their crawfish.  I thought it was a shrimp basket when I got it but something I read later made me think it was crawfish.  I didn't eat the biscuit (yet)  and only about half of the fries.

Then I ate some pintos and cornbread with butter, and before bed a bowl of cereal.

Week Six/ Day One (Monday)

Oatmeal with a banana and milk(325)
Lunch: Salad and a t-bone steak
Supper:   Michelina's dinner (330) with some pineapple in it  (probably around 70)
Snack:   Onion and lettuce sandwich with a piece of cheddar cheese and a little milk and four hot chili peppers.  (Hope I sleep tonight.)

Week Five/Day Seven (Sunday)

English muffin with sausage and a fried egg

Lunch:  Yesterday's leftovers.

Week Five/Day Six (Saturday)

Off from work today.  Easter Dinner at Tesia's
I was back down in my weight.  My total weight loss this morning shows up as 12 pounds since March 21.   That's an average of 2 pounds a week.  If I could keep on losing two pounds a week, it wouldn't take me a whole year to get down to where I want to be.

Breakfast: Oatmeal with milk
Lunch: ribeye steak and a roll
Supper:  Ham, broccoli casserole, corn casserole, green beans, corn on the cob, macaroni and cheese, sweet tea, rolls, lemon pie.

Everything was very good but I took smaller portions and I didn't go back for seconds on anything... not even the pie and I only got a SMALL piece of it.

Week Five/Day Five (Friday)

I was back up that 1½ that I was down before.   Oh, well.  That's the way it goes.  To my way of thinking, I shouldn't have been because I didn't eat much yesterday.  But maybe the way it works is that what I ate on Wednesday won't show up that quickly.... although that hasn't been the case in the past.

I'd say it's more likely the fact that I got so busy yesterday doing a reset at work that I didn't stop and drink water like I normally do.  Probably all the drinking I did for all day was my coffee in the morning, my drink at lunch time, and my drink at supper.  I grab a sip of water when I went to the bathroom.  But if I don't drink water, then I retain more fluid.   So I don't imagine the weight gain is a real gain and perhaps the loss is not a real loss.  It's just a fluid fluctuation.

Breakfast:  Oatmeal and a banana
Lunch: A t-bone steak cooked in my halogen cooker
Supper:  Cottage cheese and pineapple and a 3-cheese lasagna by Michelina. 
Snack: One apple pan cake sweetened with powdered sugar

Week Five/Day Four (Thursday)

Breakfast:  Peanut Butter sandwich with a little butter on it.
No snack
Lunch:  Michelina's dinner, yogurt and fruit cup
No snack
Supper:  A salad with chicken breast from the chicken I cooked in the halogen cooker and an egg and a sandwich round.  Diet Green tea

Week Five/Day Three (Wednesday)

I was down 11½ pounds this morning.

Breakfast:  Peanut Butter sandwich

Snack:  Banana

Lunch: Pasta, Broccoli, and chicken (270), yogurt and fruit

Snack:  almonds and Diet Mt Dew

Supper   Black-eyed peas, cornbread with butter, and onion.

After church.  Cornbread and milk.

Week Five/Day Two (Tuesday)

Breakfast: Oatmeal with  a small apple  (probably around 300)
Snack:  Yogurt and a sugar cookie  (There was only one left and they were so good. 
I think this brand of yogurt is about 120 a cup and those sugar cookies are 70.  I looked them up yesterday.)

Lunch.  Another Michelina's meal.  I think it was called Chicken Alfredo Florentine.  It was 260.
And a Cherry mixed fruit cup.  70

When I came home I cooked a whole chicken in my halogen cooker and ate mainly just chicken.  I did mix up my own brand of Burger King's Zesty sauce although I didn't get complicated with the recipe.  I noticed the ingredient that made it "zesty" was horseradish so I had bought some of that.    I just mixed that with ketchup and mayonnaise and used it on some of the chicken I ate.

Before bed I had (just four) chunks of pineapple and a little cottage cheese.

Week Five/Day One (Monday)

Breakfast:  Oatmeal and milk  (no banana)  225
Lunch:  Chicken salad sandwich  (600)
Someone brought in a dessert that was made with coconut on top and looked very moist and I ate some of that.
Dinner:  Michelina's  Meatballs with noodles & gravy.  I thought it was more like 320, but maybe not.
I ate more of the coconut dessert.

Snack:  Pineapple (about 70) and three (Publix) sugar cookies with sprinkles (70 each)

Before bed:   Toast with margarine and marmalade.  (Probably 250)


The coconut dessert would be what threw me out of the ballpark.

Week Four/Day Seven (Sunday)

Breakfast:  Chicken Salad Sandwich
About 1PM  :  a banana
About 3:30:  A Michelina's Cheeseburger Mac meal
Some cookies and milk... maybe three cookies

After church:  kraut and hot sausages (180 each)
One piece of bread, with mayo and onion. 

Week Four/Day Six (Saturday)

This should be fun.   I can't remember.

Oh, yea, now I do.  I remember that by the time I got to work, I figured I had already eaten 1000 calories.

It was oatmeal and a banana for breakfast
Then I made a chicken salad from this recipe and ate a sandwich of it as I drove in to work.  I figured that sandwich was probably 600 calories because the bread alone would have been 240.  (Arnold HealthNut bread)

At work I had an apple and some almonds for a snack, then for lunch I had a Michelina's Chicken Fried Rice meal, fruit and a yogurt.   At home I ate a salad that had some craisins, some sunflower seeds, some cheese in it.

Lunch:  BBQ, potato salad, slaw, baked beans

Supper: Macaroni

Week Three/ Day Five (Friday)

For breakfast I had a chicken sandwich as I was driving into work.


Snack:  a blue berry scone that was on the breakroom table.  I thought the calorie count on the scone would not be as high as a piece of cake-- which I have left alone all week-- or the chocolate covered cream filled doughnuts--which I have also opted out on, but it looks like even they may run as much as 300 calories apiece (or more if you get them from Starbucks) This one came from a grocery store, maybe Publix.


I came home-- volunteering to split my work day-- and ate fish and slaw for lunch.  


Driving back, I drank a root beer and ate some pork skins (240)


At work:  Frozen yogurt


At home:  two onion sandwiches prepared on WHITE hamburger buns with mayo, eaten with hot chilies.   (And, no, they didn't keep me awake.  I rested well.)

Week Three/Day Four (Thursday)

This is going to me by memory.. I didn't realize I'd got so busy that I missed a whole day of keeping track.

I went to get my car tags in the morning, went shopping at Walmart, then into work at 12.

I think I ate a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, a steak and a salad for lunch, and soup for supper.

Thursday evening when I got home from work... I don't even remember what I ate before bed.

Week Three/Day Three (Wednesday)

Breakfast:  Peanut butter sandwich
Snack:  Yogurt  and chips that were left from yesterday's lunch
Lunch: Soup  and sugar free chocolate pudding
Note:  I ate NONE of the cupcakes brought in because it was Ashley's last day of work.
Snack: Apple and almonds
Supper:  Chili
Snack:

I'm still thinking.

Week Three/Day Two (Tuesday)

I was down nine and a half pounds this morning!!

Breakfast/Lunch:  Oatmeal and a banana
At work, before I started on more resets:  A breakfast bar

Snack:  Pineapple
Lunch:  A egg salad sandwich from Publix.  ( I meant for Jef to get me one from Target but I said Publix, so he went to Publix and they made a "custom" one.  It was very good, but cost more than Target's would have.

An apple and almonds..

Grapefruit-- a whole one.

4 Pancakes made with a very ripe banana and pecans with powdered sugar on top

Week Three/Day One (Monday)

I ended my fast before my 24 hours were up because when I went to work instead of doing the usual Monday morning work of pushing a pencil, I was asked to help reset.  That involves a lot of strenuous work.   So, instead of eating at 2 I ate at 12.  And I had....




Lunch:   A "small" (meaning meat wasn't doubled) burger (without cheese) at Five Guys.   I had NO fries, but I did eat the peanuts they give free for you to eat while you're waiting for the burger.
And I drank water.

I had a real energy sack about 1:30.   But a Vitamin B12 with a cup of water got me back up to normal within 15 to 20 minutes.


Supper:   I cooked myself a steak and some asparagus in my halogen cooker.   I drank milk with it.   I ate only half the steak when I had supper and finished off the rest of it with more milk just before I went to bed-- which was VERY LATE. 

Week Two/Day Seven

Sunday
Breakfast:  an egg, 2 sausage patties, on an English muffin


Lunch:  Guadalajara
 Chile Relleño(405), chalupa(350), flauta (180), Diet Coke, and chips(450) with salsa
The lunch alone was probably 1400 calories.  (All those numbers are approximations found at MyFitnessPal as Guadalajara doesn't give caloric information on its foods. 
Nothing else for the day.

On Monday morning, two weeks after I began, I was down 8 pounds.
My knees don't feel sore any more.  I'm not sure if I'm ready to give the bicycle another shot or not.   


Maybe I just need to do a wee bit at a time until my knees are strengthened.

Week Two/ Day Six

This one is a bummer...


I didn't eat until about 11 and then I ate a bowl of oatmeal with a banana and milk.


At work I ate one piece of hard candy (25)

Snack: My oatmeal ran out.  I ate a yogurt and some Quaker  "Quakes"  -- the Cheddar Cheese kind.  A co-worker brought them in.   (18 pieces are 140 calories)  I probably ate ten.


Lunch:  Soup Progresso Chicken Pot Pie soup  180  I also ate a fruit cup and drank a flavored water.


Then for a snack I ate an apple and several almonds.   And a few bite size pieces of candy


When I got home I ate three pieces of fish doused in a sauce that I made trying to mimic Burger King's Zesty sauce... which I like.   Problem with the sauce is that it's mainly mayonnaise so that ran up my calorie count.

Week Two/Day Five

Breakfast:  egg and cheese on an English muffin
Snack:  Yogurt
Lunch:  Chicken sandwich with chili peppers, carrots, fruit cup.
Snack:  Almonds and an apple

After work , eaten on the way to the hospital to visit a friend:  Chick-fil-a spicy chicken sandwich (490)

Later Josh called me up and said he and Tesia would bring over some chili for supper.  So about 8PM I ate a bowl of chili with some cheese and sour cream put into it, a cheese biscuit with real butter, and a root beer. 

So today was  1600  calories for sure.

Week Two/Day Four

I didn't eat breakfast.


Lunch:  chicken sandwich made with grilled chicken from Sam's lettuce and two slices Arnold's Healthnut bread.


Snack:  8 almonds  (10 almonds are 70, so about 56 calories)


Supper:  Progresso Rich and Hearty Chicken Pot Pie Soup which says it has two servings in a can. I ate both of them. 140 calories each, so my supper was 280 calories.


Later I ate an apple (100) with a snack treat of sesame seed almonds.  They have the taste of peanut brittle, but it's almonds and sesame seeds.  Dandy Pak Cashews Sweet Sesame

1/4 cup is 160 calories.   I don't really think I ate that much... but maybe I did.


Before I go to bed, I'm going to eat me a bowl of oatmeal with a banana and some milk.

Week Two/Day Three

Breakfast:  Oatmeal with a banana and milk

At work: a "cutie" that was sitting on the table BESIDE the box of Krispy Kreme Chocolate covered FILLED doughnuts-- that I love and would have chosen to eat any other Wednesday morning freight day!!

Mid-morning Snack:  Yogurt

Lunch:  Chicken breast Sandwich with carrots and Diet Mt. Dew
AND a slice of banana nut bread brought in by a co-worker that was so good I'd have had two if I wasn't counting calories.

Snack:  An apple and two bite size Snickers


Supper and Snack:  a whole can of saurkraut (100) and three hot sausages links (180 each!!)

I ate half before I went to church and the rest when I got home.


Around midnight:  Pineapple and some of its juice.   (Hoping the pineapple would act as a diuretic.)


I haven't drunk as much water as I should be drinking this week.

My knees were very sore most of the day.   I couldn't understand why.  I haven't ridden the exercise bike again since last week.  I thought that was what was causing my problem.   Maybe not.

Week Two/ Day Two

I was down SEVEN pounds this morning!!


SEVEN in eight days! That's a good start.


And, if you're paying any attention at all to what I'm eating you can see, I'm NOT starving myself. I had intended to eat only 1600 calories a day but I didn't get down to that most days.


I'm home today. It's generally easier for ME to eat less when I'm at home alone. Maybe that will hold true today as well.


I finally got around to eating at LUNCH time so I decided to skip eating a "breakfast" meal.


I had leftovers from my fridge: roast with potatoes, field peas and a Arnolds sandwich round lightly buttered.

For SUPPER I ate two pieces of fish cooked (coated with egg and panko bread crumbs) in the halogen cooker my brother gave me. And slaw. I wanted something sweet so I ate a sugar free chocolate pudding.


I read most of the day and when I read, it's hard for me to tear away and go eat.   And I just didn't.  


SNACK:  Oh, at some point today I did eat another "cutie" and I also ate three almonds before I'd even realized I'd stuck my hand in the bag and got them out.

SNACK #2:  Before bed I ate a WHOLE grapefruit.

Just KNOW TO ADD 80 calories every day for the two cups of coffee I drink.   The calories are from the creamer because I use artificial sweetener.

Week Two/Day One

Breakfast: English muffin with egg, cheese, and 2 slices of ham
Lunch: Burger King Chicken sandwich with their Zesty sauce. (That Zesty sauce is GOOD!) with water. I ate a VERY FEW onion rings and french fries--less that half a dozen.
Supper: The rest of the Lasagna and Chicken Casserole that Josh and Tesia brought over. With a glass of orange drink made from those sugar free packets that go in water.

Before bed snack: an apple.

Week One/ Day Seven

Breakfast:  Oatmeal
Snack: Breakfast bar  (160)
Lunch:  More Lasagna, Chicken Casserole and Salad

After Church:  I'm still thinking about it.

Later: I ate chicken breast on an Arnold's sandwich round with just a little mayo and a whole lot of hot peppers. (That should help me sleep well!!) And a half glass of milk.


I'm encouraged with my weight loss for this week. It has been down lower at times than it is tonight but, nevertheless, I've lost enough to be happy with my efforts.



I would like to do more on the bicycle but I guess my knees are going to have to be strengthened gradually.

Week One/Day Six

Woo Hoo!!   I was down SIX pounds this morning from my starting weight on Monday!!!

Breakfast:  Oatmeal with milk.  I didn't eat breakfast until about 11AM

Lunch:  A salad

Dinner:  Josh called and asked if I' d like him and Tesia to bring supper.

"Yes.  Of course."  

They had leftovers.  Lasagna.  Pizza.  Chicken casserole.  And Tesia also brought some romaine lettuce for salad.   So I partook of their generosity (in moderation, meaning I didn't eat as much as I could have or would have liked to). They left me the rest of the lasagna and chicken casserole. (I divided it into two portions to eat later.)

We were talking about dieting while we ate, in particular the HCG diet and Josh said, "If the people who gain weight and then go on these extreme diets to lose it, would just eat all the time in moderation, they could always eat what they enjoy and not ever have to go on a diet." Now that makes so much sense everyone should have already thought of it. But if you're enjoying food and want more, you don't always stop and think of that.

There's a lot of discipline required in "going on a diet". So if you can exercise the discipline necessary to "go on a diet" and lose weight, you ARE capable of exercising discipline. Just choose to exercise it every time you eat and you can eat smaller amounts of any food you enjoy and not have to worry about weight gain. How cool is that?

Before bed I ate an apple.

Week One/Day Five

Breakfast:Oatmeal with  a banana sliced up in it (about 325)

Snack:  1 Cutie (40)

Home: Salad with lettuce, cucumber, radishes, green onion, craisins, sunflower seeds and a little grated cheese.   With my homemade dressing of Jalepeño vinegar, a packet of sugar substitute, and a couple teaspoons of mayonnaise mixed together.

Finished off my day with a bowl of field peas, green onions, and an Arnold's sandwich round with some Fleichsmann's margarine.

About 1770... and I want a bite of something before I go to bed.

Week One/ Day Two

7:26 AM
Wow.  Even after the ice cream and eating close to 2000 calories yesterday, I was down TWO and A HALF pounds when I weighed this morning.

I wonder sometimes about certain diet claim... like how just taking a couple tablespoons of vinegar before a meal, will help you lose weight.  I was thinking of that when I ate that huge salad last night and used nothing but vinegar (pickle juice) and sprays of canola oil (with a packet of sweetener) for my dressing.

Coffee time.  (40)

Breakfast:  Oatmeal (160) with half a cup of milk (65)
Before going to work:  10 oz sirloin steak   (575)

and a lemon drop (12)

Can of tomatoes, okra and corn, with some cheese on top   veggies(150) cheese (50)
Powdered drink mix added to my water (15)

About 1600 calories so far.... but I still want something to eat.  

I went by Food-4-Less and bought me some celery, carrots, radishes, lettuce, green pepper.   I guess I'll go get me a stick of celery.   I always like celery more than I think I will when I think about eating it.

I rode my exercise bike about 7 minutes this morning.  I'm trying to be careful.  It's a good thing I am.  I was afraid even that might have been too much later on in the day at work because one of my knees acted like it was going to go out on me.  But I made it.

Week One/Day One

Breakfast:
Coffee with creamer and sweetener
English Muffin(130) with sausage(110) and egg fried(102) in the sausage grease

Comments:

I've gone back and looked at what I ate when I lost weight before and I am looking at Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home Videos again. I'm somewhat "afraid" to take off trying to walk around the circle because my knees are giving me trouble and I'm afraid I'll get away from the house and they will start paining me and I won't be able to get back very well.

I suppose I'll try doing my exercise bike for a little while and then at least try to get through a half mile of LS's one mile walk every day this week.

I intended to be GOOD and have something like broiled fish and a vegetable to eat next but J called up and asked if I had ice cream and he and T, along with C, came over to eat some (and to take care of some stuff he was going to do for me). I ended up eating about a cup of Blue Bell Black Walnut ice cream (320 calories) in a cone (90 calories).

By the way, I passed on eating the coffee cake that was brought in to work this morning because I knew I was going to write down everything I ate today. If I hadn't decided to start this, I probably would have eaten at least 400 or more calories worth of that stuff.

Okay, so it looks like I'm already pushing 1800 calories for this day and I really didn't want to go to bed without eating something else, so what's a good choice?

Maybe I'll go for a salad. If... if I have the stuff to make it with.

I finished off a bag of Italian salad mix with pickle vinegar, a packet of sweetener, a few sprays of conola oil, a few craisins, a few slivered almonds, and less than a tablespoon of "salad topping" (20)-- whatever that is. (1 1/3 Tbsps = 35 calories)

Probably the whole salad was around !00 calories.

So.... My GRAND TOTAL for the day is going to be under 2000 calories.
And my exercise for the day was pulling the exercise bike out of the corner and riding it for about 5 minutes.

Starting Again 2011

I've decided upon a three part plan to start working my way back down to a reasonable size.
1. Drink more water.
2. Exercise almost daily.
3. Keep a food log of what I eat ( and, if possible track the calories)
