Coffee, 2 cups with flavored creamer
Breakfast Egg and Toast with diet jam
Snack: About three peppermints
Before lunch: Numerous baby carrots
Lunch: Salad with Ranch Dressing (40 calories for 2 Tbsp) and some Feta cheese sprinkled on it (Maybe 2 Tbsp)
Whole wheat spaghetti, probably half a cup and MEAT SAUCE, probably 3/4 cup anyway
Drink: Water with lime juice and artificial sweetener.
Everything was pretty good until cheese cake time came. One slice has 610 calories. And I had some sliced strawberries and real whipped cream with it. Also later I had two cups of decaf coffee with flavored creamer.
After church I intended to eat a boiled egg and greens, but the top broke off one of the eggs as I was removing it from the carton so I fried it. I ended up putting it (92) on one slice of bread (120) with a piece of cheese (70) and some leftover chicken breast (deskinned) with milk (about 100)
Probably if I could just not count the cheesecake my calorie count would be within the right range.
Anyway, I figured after TWO days of over the top eating, my weight would jump up. But when I got up and weighed Monday morning it was okay. I was 193. Still down 14 pounds.

By the way, I averaged out my calories over the time period I've been dieting and as an average my daily calories have been more in the 1400 range than in the 1600. However, I have not done that purposely. It's just that when I would look at how many calories were in various things I was tempted to eat I would realize I didn't want them for the "price" I would have to pay to get them.
I suppose it could be compared to going shopping without regard to the price of the items there. Who of us does that? We know we have a limit and we stay within it. From time to time we might splurge on something, but we know if we do that we have to make adjustments in other areas to cover it.
Eating without even giving heed to how many calories you're taking in is like going shopping with a credit card and not looking at the price. You end up in a mess financially. With calories, you end up in a mess physically.

3/4 cup of French toast crunch is 130 (I probably ate a cup), 2 tbsp peanut butter is 190 (I probably had at least 3 Tbsp peanut butter) , 1 cookie was 35, two others were 20 each, the g. cracker was about 30, the milk was probably about 200. Adding that all up I think I probably put down almost 800 calories just by munching around.

Picture Update
Starting weight 
After three weeks
Can you tell I'm making progress?
I saw 193 on the scales. That's down 14 from my start date. I had actually been bouncing up to as high as 210.5. That's scarey!!! I have about 20 more to go to get to my goal. It wouldn't hurt to go to 168 but I'll be happy at 170. That's how much I am in the goal weight picture.
I can tell my weight is down when I look at my face in a mirror. I can also tell that I can get around much better. Of course, part of the reason for that is that I am walking and doing things intermittently to strengthen my legs (for the sake of my knees).
One thing I realize is that I am going to need to not just "go on a diet" to lose weight but in order to keep it off I'm going to have to watch how I eat after the weight is gone. I lost thirty pounds on a "modified South Beach" diet back in 2004. My goal picture was taken then.
But my birthday came along and not everyone could get together at the same time to celebrate so I had several out-to-eats. My favorite meal is Mexican and I went hog wild. After that I just didn't even want to think about cutting carbs like I had to lose that weight. Soon I was back to eating whatever I wanted, however I wanted it, whenever I wanted it.
If I'm going to keep my weight down where I feel good, I am NEVER going to be able to do that again. I can have some splurges, but I can't just throw every day to the wind. Since I realize that, as I'm going along I'm trying to make note of what I enjoy eating that is not so fattening. If I'm not satisfied, I'll want to keep looking for food until I am.
I am happy with the lunch meat and cheese sandwiches I am eating for lunch. The radishes, carrots and celery make that really good. And if I remember to throw in lettuce, it tastes even better.
I really like the Activia yogurt and fruit for a snack. And I like the string cheese. Also eating a banana every day is good.
If I eat one egg and a piece of toast for breakfast, that's not bad either. Or two boiled eggs.
The main thing I miss is my milk. I love milk. I could have more milk if I'd learn to drink my coffee without creamer. Anyway, after I've lost my weight, I will be able to add my milk back.
I like cabbage salads. And I like vegetable dinners.
I also found out tonight that there are some good Healthy Choice (and other brands too) of soup that are 100 or less calories a cup. Two cups is 200 calories or less and that is very filling. Add celery and onion and eat it before they get too soft and you have some crunch in it that kind of makes it possible not want a cracker with every bite. But if crackers are a must the little cheese crackers (very little) that are 5 calories each can add some crunch.
Also I was reading in the latest Woman's World about a diet and one of the keys to it was to buy some low calorie entrees (160 calories or less) and add a good salad or some vegetables to it. I liked that idea. That way you're not trying to dig up something.

Fri (8-17) TOTAL CALORIES: 1245
If you'll notice... I've not eaten very much beef at all on this diet. I looked up the count on a New York Strip at the beginning and it was like 90 calories per ounce. It doesn't take long for that to add up. And generally steaks don't come in pieces. You have to decide to cut them up and eat only a little. I've not done that for the most part.
But about now a good juicy ribeye would be VERY WELCOME.

And several to home accents, which is probably 200 anyway. i think it's safe to say I get my mile in on Wednesdays just bringing freight to the floor.

Sat (8-11) QUIT counting at 1628 (OVER 2000!!)
Today my brother came up and took the whole family out to eat at Cici's pizza. I didn't really do that badly there. I ate about 5 pieces of pizza but I only ate the part of the edge of crust on three of them. I just took off the toppings. I ate a huge salad. My downfall was their cinnamon buns. I love them. I ate two of those. Then I came home and decided since I'd blown it I might at well eat the last peanut butter cookie and I dug around and found some frosting and made myself some more frosting filled cookies with the butter cookies I have. If I'd quit now, I'd be okay but I have told Christie we can have meat loaf, macaroni and cheese and baked beans for supper.

If I would have stopped there, it would not have been so bad. But I didN'T. I ate several butter cookies that I put a filling of frosting into. I had milk with my cookies. I ate some more macaroni and cheese and a small piece of meatloaf.
So I'd say that my total went over 2000. The cookies and milk themselves would have accomplished that with no help from the meatloaf and macaroni/cheese.
But this is the FIRST DAY I've completely blown my diet since I began on July 17. The only other really high day I had was the one I called my Wendie Day that reached 1755.

When I got home from work, I was HUNGRY. But I was good. Before I even started fixing myself something to eat, I came in here and counted up all my calories for the day. They were higher than I had hoped. (Raisin bran is higher in calories than some cereals, but the last time I ate it, it seemed to be more lasting that some things.) Anyway, after I reviewed what I had already had, I knew I couldn't just eat anything I felt like eating. I wanted some salmon. (I like canned salmon.) But after I saw on the side of the can that 1/4 cup was 90 calories and that there were SEVEN servings in a can, I knew I couldn't just eat as much as I'd like to. So I made the "Salmon Salad". It was good. It was especially better after I added the raisins and sugar substitute. And I think it would have been even better with some apple in it, but I didn't want to add that many more calories last night. In general though, for a meal, 350 calories would not be bad, so adding an apple would be okay.

"When you get close to the edge, it's easy to accidentally go over." We've been hearing that a lot a church. I found out it's true on calorie counting too. I thought I'd counted everything, so when I got home last night I ate only what would keep me from going over. Then Thursday morning I got up and was walking past the counter to go make my coffee and noticed my big can of mixed nuts was down. I had forgotten to count them . I thought I had ended the day at 1596 but after I added in the mixed nuts I had FORGOTTEN ABOUT, I went over the edge.
Oh, well. It's Wednesday. I was going to let myself go over on Wednesday's because it's such a tough day. And, today, in addition to it being freight day, it was the week the crew I'm on does church cleaning--which we do AFTER church on Wednesday nights. If I'd had my way, it would have been a Wednesday when I was going into work late on Thursday, but that's not my choice. To make it worse, Josh decided he wasn't needed to help out this time.

THREE WEEK PROGRESS REPORT
I was trying to see if twelve pounds made a visible difference. I could have stood up straight and pulled in my tummy and it would have really looked better but that is not the way the FIRST picture was and probably not the second, even though I was "posing" for a picture in it.

Mon (8-6) TOTAL CALORIES: 1360
I fasted from about 5PM yesterday until 5PM today.
I decided since I was low on calories yesterday and had NONE today, I'd treat myself to Popeye's chicken and fixin's for supper.
I had a breast and a leg with a biscuit, about 1/2 cup mashed potatoes with gravy, greens, and pintos and slaw. I got a jalepeno at home and some onion to eat with the beans.
It was a scrumptious meal. I think I'll top it off with bite of ice cream topped with chocolate. Just a little.
I found out I couldn't restrict my post link to a certain day at calorie-count. I thought I could bring up that one day, copy and paste the link for that day, and add it to my link to the title here and it would go to the day. But it just goes back to what ever you looked at last. And --now that I think about it-- it only goes to MY log because I am logged in and do not log out on MY computer. Anyone else would just get the Calorie-Count home page on their computer.
Oh, well.
I guess when I get time, I'll go back to copying and pasting my log below my entries.
I had a lot less calories yesterday than I intended to end up with because of finding out last night that we'll be fasting on Wednesday. I can't very well do Wednesdays because of freight day so I just didn't eat last night and began my fast.
I was pleasantly surprised to weigh in at 195 this morning!! That is TWELVE POUNDS down. This marks the last day of my third week. I was really kind of thinking I wasn't going to drop two pounds because the scales kept trying to go BACK UP on me. But that really mekes 2.5 because I never really did quite make it down ten in two weeks. I saw a 197 in a fleeting moment. It never came back. The closest I could get was 197.5.
But this morning I was 195. TWELVE POUNDS LIGHTER!!!!
I'm still walking my one mile in home walk with Leslie. I have more energy. My knees are not giving me nearly as much trouble. I can even get up and down more easily when I pray.

I was so hungry after church this morning I would have gone out to eat with anyone and blown my diet. No one was interested in going out.
All I could think of was getting something good to eat. Then I'd think of the calories. So on the way home I began thinking: If you went to Mama's buffet what would you have picked out to eat? I knew I would be picking the vegetables and the least fattening stuff. So I thought, "Why not just make yourself a good vegetable dinner with beans instead of some kind of high calorie meat?" What would you like?
I decided to go for a baked potato, baking it first in the microwave, cutting it into wedges, spraying with 0 calorie Parkay Spread Spray, sprinkled with garlic salt and broiled in the oven.
I made my slaw with cabbage, green pepper, celery, onion, carrot, and jalapeno pepper. I put one Tbsp of Hellman's light mayo and used sugar substitute and vinegar to finish my dressing.
So I had plenty to eat and did NOT blow my diet.
Later: I found out when I got back to church that Wednesday is fast day. I have been substituting Monday because I have such a hard day on Wednesday. I stop eating after lunch and fast 24 hours. (I ate last around five so that means my 24 hours this time will last until after work on Monday.) That nipped in the bud all my plans for how I was going to "spend" the rest of my daily calorie allotment. However, on the bright side, I figured that after work tomorrow I can go to Popeye's and get me some fried chicken. (I went to their Website and counted up all the calories for a normal meal I would bring home from their buffet and that one meal is over 1600 itself.)

I just wanted to keep on eating tonight.....
I did my walk with Leslie at about 6:45 this morning so I could get it in before I go to work. It is really making me feel more energetic.
I have become convinced-- after being two weeks on this 1600 calorie diet -- that it wouldn't much matter what diet you chose, IF YOU SIGNIFICANTLY CUT YOUR CALORIES, you'd lose a larger amount of weight the first two weeks than you will thereafter.
I remember when I did the South Beach Diet-- which I recommend, by the way-- I did the same thing. And when you read about others who have made up their minds to "do something", most of them have a "goodly" loss at the onset.
I'm thinking it is probably mostly fluid. There may be some real weight loss but it may not actually be any more than you will realize per week as you continue on with fewer calories.
I say that because I am already finding that I am now at a "standstill" on dropping off the weight. That means I am now in it for the long haul.

I walked --worked up another (minor) sweat-- with Leslie this morning. I'm happy at my progress there. When I started, I could not make it through the mile even doing it moderately. Now I'm able to keep pace with her and even do the arm movements. I do get out of breath and work up a sweat but I CAN CONTINUE. My legs are not so tired out that I cannot even get them to keep up. That's improvement.
I feel like getting that "ten" pounds off has helped me to be able to move without it exhausting me so quickly.
I really am feeling better. My stamina is increasing. I can walk better and faster. I suppose I wasn't just "getting old"; I was getting fat and out of shape.
