I need some serious help, advice, whatever I can get….

We went to the fair yesterday (7-30-08) and this what i had….

No Breakfast, Lunch was frickin 36 points (1 small fried veggies (21), 1 large lemonade (4), 1/2 fried pickle (3)…but, on the flip side I did split these with 3 kids)   Later on in the afternoon, we stopped at Burger King….I got a whopper jr (8) and a diet coke.    My dinner was 4 points…..1 1/2 c cornflakes (2), 1 c ff milk (2), and 2 pkts Splenda.

Today (7-31-08)was not so hot, I don’t know what is going on in my head……I write down everything I eat, you would think if Im gonna write it down I would eat decent food, lol;)  Here’s today:

For breakfast (7 points) I had 3 mini doughnuts (5 points) and a low fat granola bar (2).  I think lunch was my weakness this week, we went out (maybe thats what I need to learn to do is eat out HEALTHY!!!!!) For lunch (25 points) I had a turkey reuben-no saurkraut (17 points), 1/2 c coleslaw(3) and 1 c broccolli soup (5).  My PM snack (4 points) was 2 oat and honey granola bars (4).  My dinner (5 points) was once again 1.5 c cornflakes (2), 1 c 2%milk (3).  Im beginning to think I should eat cornflakes for breakfast and dinner, maybe this will be what I eat next week…..

I forgot to take pics again, I promise I will get back on the ball…….leave me some encouraging comments:)

dinner72508.jpgsnacktime72508.jpgbreakfastlunch72508.jpgOk, so I was off work today (not too unusual for me, being a nanny I have quite a few days like this) and I forgot to eat breakfast, that’s not good.   I did however keep track and take pictures today since I only ran a few errands and did housework….oh, and I canned some applesauce made with Fuji’s, 3 TBSP of brown sugar, and H20 (I filled 4 pint jars!!).

Here is my menu for today:  Lunch (7.5 points) was a WW pita filled with 1/2 c black beans, 2 TBSP cheese, and salsa -1/2 c pickled green beans (i canned those myself) - 1/2 c lowfat cottage cheese topped with a few strawberries - a Propel H20. PM snacktime (3 points) was a WW brownie and 1/4 c reddi whip - glass of water.  Dinner (6 points) was 2 c of WW veggie soup - 2 small pieces of pesto pizza -1/2 c of lowfat cottage cheese topped with a few more strawberries - glass of water.

Tomorrow as I head to the grocery store, I need to pick up cottage cheese, black beans, lowfat brownie mix, and I’m sure a few other things……..now, for that dreaded treadmill (I think its hates me, it likes to throw me into the wall from time to time…lol)

7-24-08…Today’s total points are 30 and I went out to eat:)

Ok, so I slacked on the pictures today but I will let ya know what I ate, as I keep a food journal in my purse at all times:)   Breakfast (5 points) was 1 c of cornflakes, 2 pkts of Splenda, 1 c fat free milk, and 1 sm banana. AM snack (2 points) was 1 8 oz orange juice. Lunch (7 points) was one Nutrisystem meal from my mom with 1 c of steamed green beans and 1/2 c unsweetened applesauce.  PM snack (4.5 points) was 1 c cherries with 1 fat free pudding topped with 1/4 Reddi Whip lite…….I’m staying away from the pudding cups, too many points for a snack and too much sugar. For dinner (11 points), I went out with a friend and I did fairly well ( I think at least). I had 1 piece of pizza (thin crust, light cheese, and roma tomatoes), 1 bowl of chicken noodle soup, 2 breadsticks, and ice tea. Now for that damn treadmill……………ugh!

Hello everyone that is reading this.  I have decided to finally buckle down and finally keep a blog!!  I am going to kill two birds with one stone (actually, I dont want to kill any birds let alone any animal) and keep a regular blog/food diary.  I am also going to try to post it on my Myspace so I can get help from people. I am going to try to take pictures of things I eat (thanks Keith Kennedy) to see exactly what is going into my body……..Please leave me encouragement:)  Have a great week!!
