Food Journal: Day 86 (Heidi)

Today was one of those days.

Breakfast: Cheerios. No banana. They were mushy and gross.
Snack: Chobani yogurt, cherry flavor. (I really have to eat breakfast that is more balanced or I go and ruin the entire day with the munchies)
Lunch: I sort of grazed/snacked throughout the day. Pretzels, string cheese, fruit strips (2).
Snack: continuation of "lunch", more pretzels and 2 marshmallows.
Dinner: Went out with the kids, but didn't feel like eating McDonalds. Waited for something else and wound up eating another turkey sub at Subway. I had chips and a diet coke too.

Food Journal: Day 85 (Katie)

Hi all! Still on vacation so I'm still doing this from my phone :) I'm also not anticipating my diet to new that great...and frankly I don't care! Ha!
Breakfast: a small bowl of fruit loops with whole milk.
Lunch: ham sandwich on white bread with ranch dressing and cheese and some potato chips and a Coke.
Snack: in American Falls they have this great little pharmacy that has an old fashioned soda counter. They make the best milkshakes and you get it in an old fashioned milkshake glass...you also get the big silver cup they mixed it in and it has enough extra to full your cup again. I ate both of them. :) then I had a glass of Coke and a few crackers.
Dinner: a steak, some boiled potatoes with country gravy on them and some corn. I also had a glass of whole milk.
Snack: two baby cupcakes and I'll probably (almost certainly) have a drink of some kind later tonight.

Food Journal: Day 84 (Kim)

I got to spend a good part of the day with Evan (Heidi's youngest), he came over for a sleepover. My intentions were good but I ate like crap so I will just get it over with and move on... :)

Breakfast: One mini bagel with strawberry cream cheese, a banana and a glass of whole milk.

Snack: 4 E.L. Fudge cookies.

Lunch: Turkey and cheese sandwich.

Snack: String cheese.

Dinner: Four square slices of pizza, two Pizza Hut breadsticks and three of their Cinna Sticks.

I also drank way more soda than I care to admit. I did drink a fair amount of water though so that is good.

Food Journal :Day 83 (Heidi)

I'm still the hold up. Sorry.

Breakfast: I've grown tired of oatmeal and have switched to cheerios and a banana. :)
Lunch: We have been so busy, today I grabbed Subway, they have a really good turkey/avocado/spinach sandwich and I'm good with not putting any cheese or mayo on this because the avocado is so tasty!
Snack: Goldfish crackers, a diet Dr. Pepper, and string cheese.
Dinner: Curry. With chicken and brown rice. Shawn does this so well, it's one of my faves!
Snack: No bake cookies that I made for dessert/bedtime snack.

Food Journal: Day 82 (Katie)

I'm going to write this post using my cell phone, which I've never done so you might have to bare (bear? Anyone know the origin of that saying?!) With me on any formatting errors. Also with any spelling, grammar or punctuation errors as it's not easy to even see the entire post on here or go back and edit it! And since I'm on vacation I won't have as much access to a computer.
This is for Thursday before we left so it's a bit of a chaotic day for me.
Breakfast: carnation instant breakfast.
Snack: nothing! I was busy and before I knew it the kids were begging for lunch!
Lunch: pb&j on wheat with a handful of before straws and a Coke.
Snack: 2 brownies and a glass of milk.
Dinner: since it was our anniversary we went out to Outback Steak House. I had some bloomin' onion, some bread with butter, half a pork chop, green beans and a few bites of mashed potatoes. I also had a pina colada.
Snack:I intended to easy an ice cream bar but I forgot until I was to tired so I went to bed instead. :)

Food Journal: Day 81 (Kim)

We are finally home from the hospital and the little one seems to be doing really well. Keep your fingers crossed that she stays that way for a while now. And, things are back to normal, therapy appointments, meetings, Dr. appointments and Katie's kids all crammed into my daily life. I LOVE IT!

I feel like I did pretty good today.

Breakfast: Carnation Instant Breakfast, toast with natural peanut butter.

Lunch: Tuna sandwich, a few pieces of a Korean Pear and a string cheese.

Snack: Klondike bar.

Dinner: Burgundy Beef, a slice of french bed and two ears of corn.

Snack: Slice of cheese.

I also have been looking into joining a gym, Katie is going to join with me so that we can go together sometimes. We decided to go with Chuze Fitness. Has anyone ever used this gym? What are the perks and downsides?

Food Journal: Day 80 (Heidi)

Ok, I'm not sure what my deal is with this. Maybe 100 days is feeling too long, or boring for me. I apologize for the delay. I'm a constant hold up.


Breakfast: Toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk.
Lunch: pepperoni slices, a laughing cow cheese, wheat thins and grapes.
Snack: gold fish crackers and a fruit strip.
Dinner: homemade turkey burritos, lettuce, cheese, and sourcream.
Snack: 3 otter pops.

Food Journal: Day 79 (Katie)

So I slacked again and got us behind...again.  This post is for Monday.

Breakfast: Carnation Instant breakfast

Snack: Fruit Snacks and a Dr. Pepper

Lunch: A pulled pork sandwich with BBQ sauce, some cranberry type salad from the deli that was leftover from the 4th.

Snack: a package of honey Teddy Grahams

Dinner: A turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, lettuce and pesto sauce sandwich from Mimi's Cafe.  I thought it was yummy, Heidi also had it and thought it was disgusting.  I drank iced tea and had a roll with butter and a side of coleslaw. 

Snack: Since it was girls night we went to Uswirl,  to get frozen yogurt.  I was better than I normally am (knowing that I had to write it down ;) ) and I got fat free pineapple mixed with coconut (which was low fat) then I topped it with pineapple, cherries, strawberries and blueberries and a sprinkle of toasted coconut.  It was super yummy!

Food Journal: Day 78 (Kim)

I can't believe how close we are to being done with the first 100 days. I am actually pretty excited to start the next one!

Breakfast: One biscuit with country style gravy, hashbrowns and orange juice.

Lunch: Three grilled chicken strips in a tortilla with lettuce, ranch (lite) and tomato and a small tater tot from sonic.

Dinner: Chinese take-outt. I had one egg roll, one wonton, about 1/2 cup of egg fried rice, about the same amount of cashew chicken, two pieces of sweet and sour chicken and a bowl of egg drop soup. Oh, and of course I had my fortune cookie.

Snack: Small chocolate dipped ice-cream cone.

I drank a lot of water and a glass of chocolate milk. I did not have any soda today. I am going to start easing back on that as well since I have not been very good at limiting myself to the 24 oz. per day. I think that I am going to try to go as many days without it and then when I really want it, I will allow myself one instead of drinking so much each day.

Food Journal: Day 77 (Heidi)

It feels great to be on track! Yay!

Today was a run around town, try to get the kids stuff for school, babysat my niece, and hung out with my sister after. :) Good day.

Took Evan out for lunch with the baby, we hit Wendy's, but it was an ok day over all.

Breakfast: Oatmeal and cherries. (I told you! Loving this right now)

Lunch: Crispy chicken sandwich (I know...) and a few fries. They didn't taste good. I also had a diet coke. I have not had any diet soda/fake sugar in over 2 weeks, I actually was feeling rushed, dealing with kids and ordered it out of *habit*. Weird. I drank half of a regular size and tossed the rest. I have had reduced arthritis pain, and it wasn't that good so I decided to just give it up.

Snack: Jerky and iced tea with stevia. Also a few bites of a "Korean Pear" which was kind of a melon, that reminded me of honeydew. Very good.

Dinner: Two bowls of sugar cereal. And a fruit strip.

Snack: More cherries.

So dinner was pathetic. I'll own it. :)

Food Journal: Day 76 (Katie)

Today was not my best showing.  Not my worst either, but I definitely could have made better choices.

Breakfast: A glass of milk. I'm still out of Carnation Instant Breakfast.

Snack: A package of Ritz Mini Cheese crackers.

Lunch: A Polish sandwich from Weinerschnitzel's (This is a polish sausage, a pickle spear and mustard on some kind of bread), about half a medium fry and a Dr. Pepper.

Snack: Chocolate Teddy Grahams.

Dinner: We went out to eat at a local place called Zona 78.  My husband loves their pizza.  I had trout with a butter sauce and covered in bacon, green beans, onions and red potatoes.  It was super delicious!  I also drank more Dr. Pepper and had 3 pieces of bruschetta with mozarella cheese (that they make in house!) a tomato and some kind of balsamic vinegar sauce.  Seriously, so delicious!.

Snack: This is where things got REALLY ugly!  I finally had to just go to bed!  On our way home we went to the USwirl frozen yogurt place where you get to pick all your toppings and you pay by the ounce.  I had chocolate and mint yogurt topped with chocolate chips and cookie dough pieces.  Then when we got home I snacked on a bowl of watermelon.  Then I drank a big glass of water because I was still craving something, then I had a 9oz cup full of puffy cheetos.  Then I had another big glass of water and made myself go to bed!

Food Journal: Day 75 (Kim)

Well it was a typical crazy day in my household today. Heidi's oldest Kira has been staying with me and helping me out with the kids and housework since yesterday and she has been a great help.  Katie's kids were here for part of the day so it was pretty wild for a while. We had lots of fun as usual and Olivia was enjoying their company and the normalcy of life. My other little angel had lots of company at the hospital from her bio-fam so we had the morning off from being there.

Breakfast: A bowl of Cherrios and a banana.

Lunch: Homemade (baked) chicken nuggets a few frozen french fries.

Snack: A Laughing Cow cheese and a couple of graham crackers.

Dinner: Turkey roast, three potato wedges, fresh fruit salad (mango, kiwi, pineapple and grapes)

Snack: Microwave popcorn (movie theater style)

I drank two small glasses of chocolate milk with dinner, a 12 oz. can of Mt. Dew, lots of mineral water with and without Vanilla Stevia, a couple glasses of water, a glass of apple juice and a Kool-Aid Burst (yuck).

I find that on days that my house is bustling with children and I am keeping busy, I eat less and I don't feel hungry as often.

Food Journal: Day 74 (Heidi)

Fourth of July. I would get a holiday! :0P But I didn't do to bad. Katie and Terry kindly hosted a party for all and it was lots of fun. I did have dessert but only in moderation, and it wasn't too bad! :)

Breakfast: Oatmeal and cherries again. I'm loving this right now.

Lunch: Leftover Eegee's sandwich (It's a local place), I had about 3 inches of a 3 foot sub. and a cup of raspberries. Seriously love this time of year. Fresh berries, cherries, yum!

Dinner: Roasted terryaki chicken, spinach salad with strawberries, a zucchini/potato/tomato/ baked dish that my sil brough, it was soooo yummy, and a serving of chips and dip.

Snack: I had a small sample of texas sheet cake and two brownies. :)

We set off some of our own(coughillegalcough) fireworks, and then tried to watch the cities show. Apparently there was a medical emergency for one of the firework technicians, unrelated to the fireworks, so the show stopped for over half and hour. We gave up and just headed home around ten. But it was a great time anyway. :)

Food Journal: Day 73 (Katie)

This day is actually being written on the day that it happened!  That's definitely a new one for me recently!

Breakfast: We are out of Carnation Instant breakfast *gasp*! So I had to stop after dropping the kiddos off and grab a breakfast burrito from the local convenience store and I also got a 32 oz Dr. Pepper.  Not my best choice but I am still recovering from the weekend and I had to have my 8 year old out the door by 7 this morning to head up to Idaho to spend two weeks with his grandparents.  Since I only got him back from my sister yesterday (and I had to work too) I had to stay up late doing laundry. (*yes, these are all fantastic excuses for eating like crap all day...)

Snack: Red Bull

Lunch: Three slices of lunch meat turkey, two slices of Swiss cheese, one slice of cheddar cheese and a little pack of Ritz mini cheese sandwich crackers.  I was going to just eat a sandwich but my bread was bad.

Snack: Two small handfuls of mini M&M's.

Dinner: My awesome husband stopped at IKEA on his way home from taking our son to the airport and got me meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy from their Swiss food department!  So we had these and peas for dinner.  I also had a glass of milk.

Snack: I'm on my way to eat a brownie cookie that my sister brought me.  It's all chocolate so I'm definitely going to have to wash it down with some more milk!

Food Journal: Day 72 (Kim)

Well, I am not sure where all the rest of the posts are. I have done three (this one and day 66 will be waiting in drafts to be posted in the right order).

My sweet little angel is still hanging in the hospital but after having a rough couple of nights seems to be turning around again. I was up with her all night last night (until 5:30 this morning), I then got to sleep for about 2 hours before my day started.

I had some Cherrio's with milk a muffin and a very small glass of orange juice for breakfast.

I then snacked on about 10 Ritz crackers and three pieces of beef jerky and drank some water.

For lunch I had a small green salad with cottage cheese and a little ranch, a hard boiled egg and about 1/3 of a cup of frozen yogurt with chocolate syrup and a 20 oz bottle of Coke.

For dinner I had to escape from the hospital and spend some time with my hubby and my other little one so we went to  Red Lobster. I had two cheddar biscuits, shrimp scampy, a little more than half of a baked potato with butter and sour cream, two pieces of coconut shrimp and a few bites of Jason's crab legs. I also drank two large glasses of water.

Now I am going to take a bath, drink some more water and go to bed early. My goal is to be in bed by 9:00. Wish me luck.


Food Journal: Day 71 (Heidi)

July 1, a new month, and the last of this 100 day challenge.

Breakfast: french toast, and strawberries. Yum!
Lunch: Wheat thins, a laughing cow cheese wedge and turkey pepperoni, cherries.
Snack: 2 otter pops.
Dinner: Dinner was catered by Famous Daves for a big family get together, I had a chopped pork sandwich on a bun, a little bit of BBQ sauce, and about 1/4 of a chocolate chip cookie.(They were really big)
Snack I had chips and dip at the party too.

It was not terribly difficult to stay out of the food, I assigned myself pool side life guard duty, and just sat in the shade with a large glass of ice water. Worked well to stop the grazing of hanging out by the food.

Food Journal: Day 70 (Katie)

This should be an interesting post considering this day was right in the middle of my trip to Vegas.  I'm going to do my best but I didn't write anything down and I will most likely miss something along the way!

Breakfast: Blueberry muffin with streusal stuff on top, glass of orange juice and a cup of fresh fruit.

Snack: Glass of coke

Lunch: Buffalo wings and french fries and a glass of iced tea.

Snack: I didn't have one because I knew we were going to this great restaurant for dinner and I wanted to have lots of room!

Dinner: Super yummy steak (way too much!), potatoes with butter and garlic and a salad with honey mustard dressing.  Also a delicious alcoholic concoction called "Cherry Lemonade" that was so good I could have had two (But didn't ;))  And since they messed my steak up the first time I got a free chocolate pudding/cake type dessert too!

Snack: After watching La Reve we met up with some friends.  I had an iced chai tea and shared a pretzel with my husband then we sat at a Pai Gow table until 4 in the morning.  I just drank Coke though, and some of it was definitely after midnight so it doesn't count! :)

Food Journal: Day 69 (Kim)

Well we had a better day today. The baby is doing much better so the stress level was much lower. I also got to spend the whole day with my little Olivia.

Breakfast: Oatmeal and a slice of ham.

Lunch: Taco Salad (well part of it, this thing was huge)

Dinner: Salmon patty, half of a baked potato, a tomato and a big ol pile of mixed veggies.

Snack: A banana and two pieces of beef jerky.

I drank about 1.5 liters of water and about 15 oz of Pibb Extra.

Now I am off to bed in my own bed. My little one has a nurse all to herself tonight plus a respiratory therapist. So I am taking advantage of that and getting a good nights sleep.

Food Journal:Day 68 (Heidi)

I'm so confused and off track, and so the blog halt is at my feet. :) Sorry.

Breakfast for June 28: Cherries, Oatmeal with a little milk and cinnamon
Lunch: Mcdonalds...with my kid so I tried something new and it wasn't terrible. I had the premium bacon ranch salad, and then had the dressing in a cup and dipped my fork into it, and had roasted chicken breast. It was only 273 calories doing it that way, and I didn't finish all of the lettuce. Pretty decent.
Dinner Cucumber, and a California kitchen frozen pizza.
Snack: granny smith apple chips, strawberries, and graham crackers.

Food Journal: Day 67 (Katie)

Well we've definitely gotten ourselves off track again!  I guess that happens in the summer when we all get so busy!  I was out of town on a great trip to Las Vegas with JUST my sweet husband while Heidi took care of all of my kids (and she even survived!).  This post is for Wednesday, June 27th, which was the day before we left.

Breakfast:  Carnation instant breakfast.  I did have it with whole milk because the grocery store where my husband bought it the 1% was nearing expiration.  Normally we don't drink whole milk but I have to admit to loving it when we have it!

Snack: A can of Redbull.

Lunch: Turkey and Swiss cheese sandwich on white bread with mayo, grapes and fritos.

Snack: A handful of salted sunflower seeds and a diet Mt. Dew

Dinner: A bowl of noodles with honey walnut shrimp, 3 cream cheese wantons with sweet and sour sauce and iced tea at Panda Express.

Snack: A candy bar, but I honestly can't think of what kind.  Weird.
