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!
