Day 91 – Midmorning Snack

September 28, 2008

About noon or so, I was getting the “munchies”, but wasn’t overly hungry.  I ran to the pantry and looked for some healthy snack options.   I decided to make up some soup to tide me over until lunch.  Overall, it was pretty good, though it could have used some extra spices… Snack: QTY Item Calories [...]

Day 91 – Breakfast

September 28, 2008

Nothing too major here for breakfast.  I just wanted to get some food into my system to get the day kicked off.   I nuked up a few Lean Pocket breakfast items.  Overall, they were decent, but still a balanced breakfast. Breakfast: QTY Item Calories 2 Lean Pocket – Sausage Egg and Cheese 280 Grand Total: [...]

Day 90 – Dinner

September 27, 2008

Recently, I’ve been pondering the purchase of the book “Eat This, Not That” by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding.  In the book, they list out (I believe to be) hundreds of restaurants, showing the best and worst items to eat at those locations.  Recently, while browsing the “Men’s Health” website, I came across the online [...]

Day 90 – Lunch

September 27, 2008

Today was the Annual Chili Cookoff in Maryland Heights.  I’ve attended now for the last 3 years, and it’s always an event that I look forward to.  This year, I got there early, so things were still going pretty strong.  The one downside is there’s no way to really gauge what was eaten unless you [...]

Day 90 – Breakfast

September 27, 2008

Today is the day I’ve been waiting for… the Chili Cookoff in Maryland Heights!  I didn’t want to do anything too heavy for breakfast, so I decided to just have some ham and eggs.  This gives me a good protien start to the day without loading me down with any additional carbs.    Also, keeping the [...]

Day 89 – Dinner

September 26, 2008

While dinner doesn’t “look” appealing, it’s actually pretty tasty.  I was hoping to get out with friends tonight, but work kept me busy until the wee hours of the evening, and by that point everyone had already eaten or made other plans.  So, I got home and decided to fix up something from the freezer.  [...]

Day 89 – Lunch

September 26, 2008

For lunch, I didn’t want to do anything way out of budget, especially given what I’ll be having this weekend.  Usually, the team and I go to lunch on Fridays, but with one of my teammates out of the office, we all just did our own thing.  I decided to go for some fast food.  [...]

Nutritional Information

September 26, 2008

Since day one on this diet, one of the major issues I’ve found has been tracking down actual calorie values for many major restaurants in the area.  Either the restaurant doesn’t want to divulge this information, are reluctant to divulge this information, or just have never gathered this information before because it wasn’t a requirement.  [...]

Day 89 – Breakfast

September 26, 2008

Today is not going to be a “Free Day”, but I wanted to try taking in a slightly heavier breakfast in order to see how it affects me.  I got up early enough to stop by Quiktrip to pick up a Hotzi breakfast sandwich.  In all, it’s not bad calorie-wise, but it’s still not exactly [...]

Day 88 – Dinner

September 25, 2008

Before I left work, I was already very hungry.  Once I got done with my workout, I was nearly famished.  I wanted to make something quick and simple, so I grabbed a bag of the “Steam Fresh Asian Medley” from the freezer as well as my last two Chicken Breasts.  This time, I actually let [...]
