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.
