WEDNESDAY - 0- POUNDS LOST

I wasn't down any today but I'm not discouraged. I'll just try harder today. So far I have had breakfast and I had 1 hard boiled egg at 78 calories, 2 pieces of OM bacon for 70 calories 1 piece of ww 40 calorie bread with 10 calories of lite marg. for a total of 198 calories for breakfast. More later.

TUESDAY'S CALORIE COUNT

For breakfast I had a cup of Special K with 1/2 cup milk for 160 calories. I also had a meduim banana in my cereal for 90 calories. Breakfast total 250

James made some delicious soup at 84 calories per cup and I had 1 cup of soup, 84, 1 oz. of hard cheese at 110 and 17 of the new Special K wheat crackers for 90 and an apple for 61 calories. A total of 345 calories for lunch.

For supper I had a salad for 50 calories, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on the salad for 110 and 1 TBS Ranch drsg for 70 calories. I also had 4 oz of baked ham for 170 calories. A total of 400 calories for supper.

That makes a total of 995 calories for the day. The only other thing I am going to have is a cup of hot green tea with splenda.

TUESDAY - LOST 2 POUNDS

I am thrilled, down 2 more pounds. More later.

MONDAY - FEBRUARY 2

Well I have had supper now and I had 4 oz of baked ham, package said 190 calories for 4 oz. I had a medium baked sweet potato for 150 calories. I also had a cup of stir fry vegies for 35 calories per cup. James made some sauce for the vegies with several spices but all total there was about 15 calories per teaspoon so I am going to add another 30 calories for the sauce. This after noon I had some celery sticks I am going to guess a cup which would be 17 calories per cup with 1/2 oz fat free cream cheese for 30 calories. I also had a cup of hot green tea with splenda. So my total since breakfast has been 352 calories. Surely I didn't eat more than 8oo calories for breakfast which would keep me within the 1200 that I need to lose weight. I can't find any calorie count for any of Cracker Barrels food. I was going to Naples with Barbara and Mary Alice tomorrow for lunch but I guess if there is ice we will be changing our plans.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW! LOST 2.25

"Oh the weather outside is frightful but the snow is so delightful so if you've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." I actually have no where to go except to sit in front of the fireplace with a good book to read. Wonderful to not have to worry about getting to work etc. Today I started off with a retirement celebration breakfast at Cracker Barrel. James and I split the Sunrise Sampler. I don't know my total calorie count but I think I did ok. I was down 2.25 pounds this morning. I was real pleased and hope to do good the rest of the day. I will let you know later.

SUPER SUNDAY

It has been a good day. I had Yoplait yogurt for breakfast for 100 calories. We went to the Cracker Barrel for lunch and I had a baked potato with sour cream and butter. I know the sour cream had 60 calories but I don't know about the potato and butter so just to be safe I am going to count it at 400 calories. I also had a house salad. The only thing in it that had much calories was the croutons but I didn't eat any other bread not even the crackers they brought. I used about a teaspoon of dressing. So I am going to count the salad as 300. Later I had a small apple 61 calories and 2 cups of popcorn for 50 calories. So I have still stayed right at 1000calories. I don't plan to have anything else tonight. I need to drink more water. I had 3 glasses of unsweetened tea for lunch but no other water. I will work on that a little more.

FACING THE SCALES

Well this morning I faced that monoster, the scales. But it was better than I expected especially since I went to CICI Pizza yesterday with my sister and niece. I was still down 1.25 pounds from when I started on January 1st. So I hadn't gained it all back. I will write more later about my food intake for today. Sundays we always go to Cracker Barrel but they usually have a lot of things I can choose from.
