Don't put me on the naughty list this week. I'm
-2 for the week. Yesterday it was -4 but I tried to commit peepacide by having a doughnut (It had apple filling so I was getting my fruit, I just had to eat the pastry part to get to it.......
) It was also my 9th anniverary so DH and I went to dinner. I knew I should've boxed up half (well, more like 3/4) of my meal before I started eating it. I had sushi as an appetizer so I really didn't need to have so much other food. I actually got DH to try sushi! He's always turned his nose up at it but I got shrimp tempura rolls since he likes batter fried shrimp and he actually ate and mostly enjoyed it.
Keep kitty in your thoughts, she is having surgery right now. I know that pets might not seem like much to some, but she is my baby and the sweetest, most docile kitty ever.
It is gloomy, rainy, and depressing here.
Hope everyone has a great day!!
For kitty's surgery. I've been on both sides of the door (owner and vet assistant) It's harder on you than it is on them most of the time. I'm sure everything went well.
Our weather was the same..... bleck......... and it's only Nov.
We should start posting our food again. I think it helps us realize what we ate and we can get ideas for other foods from everyone else!
I am not a runner....I will speed walk, but not run. I guess I may change my mind as my treadmill gets faster...I have been able to go 3.8 and still walk. At what speed do you start running???
I agree! Lynda was so good at posting her foods every day; I miss her and her food lists. I don't start running (wogging) until about 4.2. I have always been a pretty fast walker though and anything below 3.5 is just crawling.
I was reading some recipes in OXYGEN magazine on healthy alternatives to classic Thanksgiving dishes and am twisted enough to make them in addition to the FAT-laden versions just to see my (very fat) family's reactions!!!
I've replaced several ingredients with healthier versions, as long as no one knows it's less fat/sugar/sodium ect most of the time they don't mind.
So far I am being pretty good today, had 20oz water and a chex bar for breakfast (only 140 calories, and they are CHOCOLATE), then had a bottle of Dt Pepsi and a Healthy Choice steamer meal for lunch (310 calories, but 30 grams of protein). Have you tried the Asian ones? I remember reading someone talking about chinese, this is my version. Today's was 5 spice beef, which was good, almost as good as the spice sweet orange chicken and the general tso's chicken. (the orange is better than the general's, I think). They are fairly high in sodium, but not bad for a meal, caloric intake or fats-wise.
I've eaten those quite a bit. Our groccery has had them for $2 and when tehy first came out I helped myself to several save a dollar when you buy 3 coupons. I know I bought several the last time I went shopping just to use the coupons before they expired. I like the fact they have WW points listed on them and are something different from the normal frozen fare. I also enjoy the meals that have the little fruit crisp desserts in them.
I get them at our little store, cause Healthy Choice is a ConAgra product (so I can't eat Weight Watchers, etc here, ONLY Healthy Choice, Budget, or Marie Callendars for frozen dinners.). PD, they have new ones just coming out that are shelf stable instead of frozen, I have had the ziti with meat sauce and the southwestern chicken and rice, both were very good.
I didn't buy the shelf stable ones because I didn't have my points slider and they don't have any points on them. Could you pull a few strings, add it to the suggestion box; anything, to get that info included on the packaging?
It IS hard, you're just a little hungry, and also you just WANT to eat a little something, unfortunately usually NOT a little good for you something, at least in my case.
I keep a handful of 100 cal bagged snacks and Fiber One bars in my desk so I have something that is mostly good for me and won't blow my "good" behavior. I don't think I've ever bought anything from the vending machine at work because I stocked my drawer in case of emergencies. I almost always have chips, cookies and some sort of snack mix, either sweet (Reese's/Hershey's) or salty (Cheez'its or Ritz mix) so I am pretty much covered in case I get a craving.
Wow that is great, because I would really like to bring them to work with me, but I don't have a freezer at work, just a fridge!
I take mine in an insulated lunch bag and have a small ice pack that keeps it mostly frozen until I eat. I leave it on my desk until meal time. I generally still have ice crystals in my frozen veggies when I take them out of the bag. The one I have is from Rubbermaid. They seem to have a pretty good variety if you want to try to take a frozen meal along from time to time. (
