Breakfast: pancakes with syrup. Not a great nutritional choice for breakfast.

Morning Snack: oatmeal with soymilk and raisins. If I had just had this for breakfast in the first place, I wouldn't be eating it for a snack in the second place.

Lunch: brown rice, with veggies and sweet & sour sauce.

Dinner, at work: sweet potatoes with cinnamon and chopped walnuts; carrots; peaches and mandarin oranges (this dinner was brought to me by the color "orange")




Happy Halloween everyone!

B: Breakfast taco, banana

L: Leftover Barley Pilaf, salad

D: Sweet potato, green beans, raw veggies (cauliflower, carrots, pepper strips, celery)

S: pear

B - BLT on whole wheat toast
S - unsweetened raw cocoa-banana-honeydew-green leaf lettuce-flax smoothie
L - salad
D - steamed green beans, mushrooms, asparagus over Jasmine rice

This was yesterday's food:

B - Cherry Pie Crockpot oats, very small amt. of maple sugar

L - shredded salad, roasted vegetables (parsnips, Brussels sprouts, white potatoes) with some Bragg's

snacks during the day: banana, apple, 2 corn tortillas with 1/2 cup refried beans

S - Delicious chop suey and baked "egg" rolls by recipes from Sandie's site. http://www.geocities.com/sandieb101/Chopsuey.html I also made some sweet and sour sauce to go with but it wasn't real successful, too sour. This meal was one of the best I've made as a McDougaller and we will be repeating it soon!

I have a feeling that I overdid the Bragg's and have gained some water weight so am going no where near the scales today! Oh well, it was worth it!

Yesterday turned into a very crazy day and I ended up grabbing whatever I could find for lunch and dinner. I hope today is better.

B: oatmeal masa porridge with banana; coffee
L: colcannon that I didn't eat yesterday
D: black bean soup; rice; steamed veggies
S: popcorn

Jan Tz, love your Orange Menu!!!

Today I hope to stick to my planned menu. Lately, I've been adding to it (maybe a bowl of cereal at night, maybe a sample of what I'm preparing for a road trip or just the next day's menu). That's not good for my weight loss.

Here is my plan for today:
B - pan fried potato with onion

L - mock tuna salad (mashed garbanzo beans, celery, onion, pickle relish, and a fatfree mayo) on a large bed of lettuce with carrot sticks on the side and apple slices

D - large bowl of potato/cabbage soup and leftover steamed cauliflower with cheaze sauce

S - popcorn

Have a Wonderful Day!!

Breakfast: oatmeal

Snack: more oatmeal (leftovers)

Lunch: 1/2 cup leftover mashed potatoes from last night's dinner, steamed veggies topped with butternut squash sauce

Dinner: crockpot potatoes with salsa (and because I know I won't be able to resist, I confess I will have a couple of Halloween treats this evening - any left over little chocolate things will be stomped on and tossed into the fire pit so as to resist further temptation).

Breakfast: Oatmeal with fruit and soymilk

Lunch: Fried rice (from McD Quick & Easy), spinach salad

Dinner: Not sure yet

Snack-sorbet, popcorn

I don't use fitday very often but was curious how I have been doing. So for today-

(This figures out to 101% but I guess that is the closest fitday could do!)

Good Afternoon Everyone!
