Day 136 – Food Journal

November 12, 2008

This morning was my company’s monthly staff meeting.  One of the nice things that happens is we are provided with bagels and cream cheese from St. Louis Bread Company.  I keep wanting a plain bagel to keep the calories down, but they’re usually gone by the time I get there.  Instead, I went for the [...]

Day 135 – Food Journal

November 11, 2008

Thankfully I was able to get to the grocery last night.  I finally have some decent options for breakfast once again.  This morning, I went for the Yoplait Light Yogurt and a Fiber One Bar.   By the time I’d taken the photo, I’d been sipping my coffee for a while, so the cup looks a [...]

Day 134 – Food Journal

November 10, 2008

This morning, I realized that I still hadn’t made it to the grocery to restock up on badly needed supplies. I’m going to have to make a run for it after work this evening. I needed to have something for breakfast, and I didn’t have time for a bowl of cereal before walking out the [...]

Day 133

November 9, 2008

I woke up today with a headache. I had one from time to time yesterday, but overall it really wasn’t that bad. Today was not the same. I really could barely lift my head off my pillow without it being a painful experience. After about an hour or so, I finally made the effort to [...]

Day 132

November 8, 2008

Today started off pretty nicely.  I woke up and wanted one of my favorite breakfast items of all time… grits and eggs.  I know, those of you that aren’t from the south might not understand the power of grits, but they are always a favorite of mine.   I recently discovered they’re actually pretty low calorie [...]

Day 131 – Dinner

November 7, 2008

This evening, I decided to stop in at Qdoba to pick up a naked burrito.  This time, I added a few extras which may have made the overall meal much better.  The burrito contained the cilantro-lime rice, black beans, both the verde and roja salsa, steak, cheese, and finally, I added some of the romaine [...]

Day 131 – Lunch

November 7, 2008

During the last week, one of the things I’d been craving the most was Bread Company.  Yes, strangely, even though I was off my diet, I was craving diet food!  Nonetheless, today was my big day, and I was going in for what I wanted most… a chicken salad sandwich from Bread Company.  Overall, it [...]

Nothing too major for breakfast to get things started.  Just coffee and Very Vanilla flavored yogurt.  I’m already excited about getting this diet started again.  I’m going to need to get to the grocery at some point this weekend and build up my stockpile again. Breakfast: QTY Item Calories 1 Yoplait Light Yogurt 100 8oz [...]

Day 115 – Lunch

October 22, 2008

Today for lunch, I still wasn’t feeling good so I wanted to eat in.  I’d brought in some Lean Pocket Calzones a few weeks back and decided they’d make a pretty good lunch.  Overall, they were pretty tasty and a lot more hearty than the standard Lean Pockets. Lunch: QTY Item Calories 2 Lean Pocket [...]

Day 115 – Breakfast

October 22, 2008

I was feeling bad last night, but today I couldn’t get myself going for the life of me.  I can definitely feel a flu coming on.  Unfortunately, I’ve got way too much going on in the office to take a day off, so I forced myself into work.  I didn’t want to have any dairy [...]
