Last Week’s Food Journey

Saturday/Sunday

Not a great weekend for me, foodwise. I’m a little disappointed in myself, but will need to just let it go and get back on track now. No use crying over munched french fries!Found this woman’s story interesting and inspirational: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84601 .Moving:Saturday: 1 mile booster walk (some resistance work); yoga. Didn’t wear pedometer.Sunday was basically a day off.Eating:Sat breakfast: whole wheat English muffin with an egg and 1/2 slice of lofat swiss cheese, coffee with soy milk.Sun breakfast: Eat ‘n Park: 2 pancakes w/butter (no syrup), 2 bites of eggs (they were yucky, so didn’t finish them), 1/2 piece of bacon, tomato juice, coffee with half-and-halfSat lunch: leftover salmon salad.  Sun lunch: no lunch, since breakfast was late and big (big fluffy pancake big!). But this probably set me up for the potato chip incident. Sat snacks: one bottle of “vitamin water” - ~100 calories but lots of Vitamin C. Handful of tiny gingersnap cookies. Several peasnacks (these are peapods that are sort of like fake potato chips).Sun Snack: baked potato chips (about a dozen, which was about 5 more than I really wanted — I got to that point where I just liked the crunch and the salt so much that I kept putting my hand back in the dang bag); chocolate pudding cupSat supper: John Harvard’s: 10 oz beer (absolutely delicious), cheeseburger with tomato and lettuce, french fries w/ketchup. I left a lot of french fries on my plate, but I also ate a lot of them first!Sun supper: Haven’t eaten it yet. Am doing this first to try to get me back on track!Now that I’ve written this all day, it isn’t horrible-horrible. It’s not a way to lose weight, though, and it’s not healthy. Am not sure why I got so snookered on the salty stuff (french fries, peapods, chips) — that’s usually not a weak spot for me.Later: Sunday’s supper: weird made-up cottage cheese salad: cottage cheese with radish sprouts and Whole Foods salsa stirred in. This sounds and looks kinda disgusting, but it tasted v. good — tangy and substantive! Am having some herbal tea with a little honey, too.

Moving: 7100 stepsEating:Breakfast (6:30 AM): warm granola w/soy milk, coffee w/soy milkLunch (11:30 PM): yogurtSnack: waterSupper: lemongrass soup, small salmon salad

Thursday

OK, Thursday was an interesting day for me. When we first started logging our food, I was pretty confident that I was an emotional eater, that stress was a big trigger for me. What I found out by keeping the food log was that the bigger trigger, for me, is social situations. If I’m with people who are eating, I feel compelled to eat, too. (May be a result of growing up in a large family where supper time was a big deal!)I’m not sure this is necessarily bad. I think there’s something positive about eating with people. But I do need to be wary of not overdoing it in those situations.Moving: 4400 steps; light weights Eating:Breakfast (6:30 AM): oatmeal with ½ banana, coffee w/soy milkLunch (12 PM): pasta salad w/veggies, turkey (no skin) with a little stuffing and veggies, cake, ½ glass red wine [social situation — Monica’s farewell lunch]Supper (6:30 PM): UHC/PG dinner: salad, red wine, ½ roll, fish w/crabmeat, rice, green beans, choc mousse w/raspberries [social situation — Honors College/Post-Gazette event dinner]
