keep track of my eating

Despite feeling like I’m eating poorly, I’ve managed to keep 2 lbs off… here’s yesterday:

B: wheat toast w/cream cheese & strawberry jam/ coffee
S: cinnamon graham crackers/ iced tea
L: fish & chips/ orange soda
D: ramen w/broccoli, mushrooms & carrots/ water
S: one ginger snap cookie/ milk

Some minor indulgences today:

B: DH surprised me by making me a toasted whole wheat bagel egg-wich while I was in the shower, so how could I say no?/coffee
Water
L: I was on the run at lunchtime, so DH packed me a very portable PB&J on fiber bread/water
S: small bran muffin (2p.m.), granola bar (4:30p.m)/water
D: 1.5 frankfurters, green peas, baked shoestring potatoes/beer
S: blueberry yogurt/water

Goal today: 2L water, eat less fat & sugar; curb snacking!

B: lowfat yogurt, granola bar (mixed in!)/coffee
L: turkey, cheese, tomato on fiber bread/water
S: banana, granola bar/water
Extras: (went to a P.M. reception, snacked on crackers, fruit & cheese)
D: (late dinner) small serv of shepherd’s pie/beer
Milk

(didn’t quite get there with the water consumption today, but better luck tomorrow!)

I’m feeling motivated to keep up with the 2L water consumption today, as several docs I’ve seen over the last week (okay, four) have told me that I’m not drinking enough and it is hitting home now. AND!! This morning I was 2 LBS lighter on the scale! I’m very excited about this because I’ve plateaued for about six months. Let’s keep this going.

B: carrot nut muffin/coffee & water
S: banana/water
L: red beans, rice/water
S: grapes, granola bar/water
D: shepherd’s pie (3”sq serv), broccoli/water
S: TLC Chewy bar (140 cals)/milk

B: banana nut muffin/coffee, water
S: banana/more water
L: turkey & cheese on fiber bread/water
S: peach lowfat yogurt/more water
D: red beans, ham & rice, steamed broccoli/beer
