We went to the move program at VA yesterday and were weighed... I am now at 316. They also gave us a food diary that is a pain, but I put in to spark then I can list it in the booklet.
Totals today are:\
Calories 1885
Protein 78
Carbs 241
Fiber 12
Fat 78
and 2190 steps. I tried to go to the gym today, but it was closed because they were cleaning the carpets!

Maybe I shouldn't have a cheat day...
Today is my designated "cheat day" and frankly, all the crap I have eaten today makes me feel like the little kid that got to eat all the junk she wanted at the fair, and felt sick as a dog. Having eaten so well this week, the hamburger I had for dinner was just a blob of fat in my stomach. The cookies need to just get thrown out.
I am glad I start over tomorrow.

I am thankful for my little birdie :)
I got a text today... No blog entry... I am thankful for those little reminders! Today was a good day, It is 82 degrees outside ! I started my day with my strawberries, and an english muffin later in the morning with a tsp of peanut butter on each side, and a smear of sugarfree jam, but I think this jam is going in the garbage of Gary doesn't like it -just doesn't taste good to me.
At about 1 i had 3 pieces 1/4" x 1"x 1" of gouda cheese and a small 2oz bowl of whole grain goldfish. I was surprised when I read the package a serving is about 55 fish, and these little cups hold about 15 max. But a serving actually had 4 grams of protien. I knew we were going to the movie today, and didt' want to eat a lot, but surprisingly I was satisfied.
the movie was good, We saw the Green Zone. It just brings closer the area where Gary jr was, and make me as a mother very glad my son is no longer there. I had a half a nacho tray of unbuttered popcorn, ( there is a big orville reddenbacher sign saying no trans fats, but who really knows...) and I added a little ranch seaoning for flavor. and had a bottle of water.
after the movie we decided to go have Japaneese food. I knew it wasn't Saturday, which is cheat day, but I didn't think I did too bad. I started with miso soup, and they brought a tray with shrimp and vegetable tempura, teriyaki chicken, rice, 6 california rolls, and a salad with too much dressing! Not bad for $8.95. I finally tried a california roll, won't do that again! But we brought the remainder home, I ate the salad next, and it did have more dressing than I would have put on it, I have to remember next time to get it on the side. I ate one of the shrimp, then stripped the coating off the other one. I ate the zucchini, carrot and half the eggplant. I only ate half the chicken and rice, and brought the rest home. I was very full, and would have stopped eating earlier if I had been eating at home.
I will try to only have a piece of fruit tonight, we ate at 4pm and at 6 I am still feeling full.
I have only walked about 2500 steps for both yesterday and today ( total 5000, ) But I am setting a goal of 3000 tomorrow, or 500 more than I have when I head to bed tonight.
Well, it is time to color some things for the cards that I am making, and I can't eat while doing it. A good thing to keep my hands busy.

Sunday, and it has been a good weekend!
I feel good about the weekend. On Saturday we had to be up at 5:30 to go to Natalie's Dance competition and there was no time for food. So after we watched her ( nodding off before her turn...) we had an hour before Harrison had his basketball double header and headed in search of a sit down meal. We found a restaurant up the street that we had a coupon for and I chose a chicken, avacado, mushroom and cheese omlet. When it came it had 2 generous slices of munster cheese on top and looked wonderful, but large. I gave the edges to Zues, and took a bite, boy I do not like mushrooms, but they were easy to remove for the most part, and I gave those to Gary. I peeled back the cheese to one side, and ate just bites of cheese with half the omlet. I kept hearing something my sister said once... You have already paid for it whether you eat the whole thing or not" . So basically do I want to pay for it twice by eating more than makes me full? I kept thinking of that as I ate. ( See, I DO listen LOL) Eating it all because it was paid for is just plain dumb. The money is gone either way. I even left the deep fried hash browns - ok maybe they were oven fried the 2nd time, but I left them alone, I didn't even have 1. I can't say I would have been so good if it had been red potatoes with onions, but that wouldn't have been so fattening either.
When we got home, we took a much needed nap, and so no mid-meal. When we got up, I made a salad with the guts from some leftover tacos and an orange.
I had in the freezer a package of Edwards, Key Lime Pie, and knew I wouldn't throw it out, so I made a conscience choice to have a slice ( 330 calories, 16 gr fat, 11 of which were saturated, 33 gr of sugar and 4 gr protien. I topped it with rasberries and enjoyed it. There is one left, and yes, I will eat that the same way, but I also know I will not buy anymore.
Today I got up at 9:30, a bit later than I want to be getting up, but with daylight savings time going into effect, i will get up earlier as the week progresses. I started my morning with a half a glass of reservitrol, and an english muffin with sugar free jam.
At 11:30 I had a dry bowl of cherrios for 70 calories, and a cup of cut strawberries, plain. Then went to church from 1-4pm. When I got home, I had a salad, with tomatoes and a 1/4 c blue cheese crumbles, and a coke zero.
That is where I am in my day.... feeling good,

Update for today March 11, 2010
I started today in great spirits, and with a walk around the block. I got after myself when I had 2 hotdogs for lunch, then read how fattening they are, Had a snickerdoodle for a snack, and still I was feeling pretty good.
Then Gary said something that upset me, and I started to fall down the hill, another snickerdoodle, and then an avacado squished into quacomole and 10 multi-grain pringles. I am not too upset about it, but after reading the label, I realize the multi-grain doesn't mean they are good grains since it was rice and corn with potatoes... won't buy them again!
Gary made bean soup for dinner with ham hocks for flavor, and I had a good bowl of that with a parmesean biscuit.
I walked about 4000 steps today, so tomorrow has to be more!

Time to begin again
It has been a month since I wrote here. That means it is not serving it's purpose. I am re-dedicating it and am going to do this every day, probably several times a day.
Today I started with a serving of applesause and a V8. Then I took a walk around the block for 1150 steps. Gary wants to go to the movie today, so I will go prepared with my water and a cup for plain popcorn. And make sure I eat before we go!
12:15 and on track.
