A food rut???

I don't know what's wrong with me but I just can't seem to think of ANYTHING I want to eat. I'm especially lacking in dinner ideas. I think I will have to do some research tonight and see if I can find some recipes to try. I just feel like everything requires too much effort. Maybe I'm still getting used to my day job. I got home today and had planned to go get groceries but nope...just didn't feel like it. Maybe I'm just blah from too much food/drink on the weekend and a kinda crappy run yesterday. Let's hope I snap out of it soon :)
Food today:
B: WW bagel and Cheez whiz (3)
L: Salad (with FF caesar dressing) - (1)
8 Melbas (2) topped with chickpea/salsa/feta mixture (1)
Banana bran choc. chip muffin (1)
S: ANOTHER muffin! (1)
D: Subway (10) and a coffee crisp single (2)
Excercise plan:
Plank excercises during biggest loser
OK...off to find some new food!

Whew...


maybe 9K today was not such a good idea. It was extremely humid. I'm not sure that I've ever been so sweaty! OK, that's probably too much information! And on top of all that, my foot is hurting...I think it's time for some new shoes. I love new shoes :)

Thanksgiving Part 1 and 2


Well, what to say? Part 1 of Thanksgiving was on Saturday at my parents house. Food wise...no problem! Drink wise...once I get started, why can't I stop? My plan worked otherwise though. Veggies and dip to snack on in the afternoon. Only a bite of "real" pie. Lots of veggies including turnip! I usually skip the turnip!
Part 2 was yesterday at J's parents. Again, ate lightly in the morning but dinner was a bit trickier. And there was no healthy option for dessert so I had the pie. It was REALLY good! Points wise, I'm really not sure where I'm at. My guess is that my 35 points are long gone. Just on the way out the door to run 9K now, so that will maybe help!
Hope everyone else had a fun, OP weekend :)
Cheers!

Quick WI post...

another 0.6lbs bites the dust! A loss is a loss, I guess. And considering I had veggie edge pizza and a caesar for good TV night last night, I'll accept it and keep going! I did have the points for the above food. I just feel bad eating it the night before WI. Hmmm, to change WI day or not??? Still thinking about that one.
My Thanksgiving plan this year?
1. eat light prior to dinner
2. have tastes of the "good stuff" but stick to the veggies!
3. only 1 bite each of the apple and pumpkin pie...from J's serving (cause I know he'll have both!!!)
4. plan how many drinks I can afford and STICK to it! (this will be my biggest challenge...that sounds bad but it's true!)

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend :)

Boring!

So, I don't have too much to report today. I'm working 8-4 everyday, then going running afterwards, then coming home and eating dinner and then trying to find motivation to do something around the house (I'd like to make muffins tonight!). Hmmm, and that's about it! BUT, just wait until my LONG weekend off! Oh yeah and EVERY single weekend off after that. Plus all holidays! Hello, day job!
Run was short today (3.2K).
Food was the same as yesterday except there was a salad in there somewhere and less bread for dinner! Why does fresh bread have to taste so good and why do I have to buy it? But seriously, what else can make chili taste better? YUM!
I have a chocolate fix defrosting right now.
And that's it for hump day :)

Scary!

OK, new job has begun...just finished day 2 and I have to admit, I'm a little scared! I had people offering to buy me coffee today (which I don't drink...sorry about your luck!) and guess the reason why? I am responsible for the Christmas schedule! Ouch :) Like hello, it's not even Halloween yet! I'm kinda miffed a bit as I volunteered to work last Christmas cause I knew this would be my nephew's first Christmas and didn't want to miss that. It was NOT my turn last year. Now that I'm in my day job...I wouldn't have had to work it this year anyway!!! That's what you get for trying to beat the system!
So other than feeling like getting up 5 days in a row sucks, it's going OK!
Food wise, I'm doing well too!
B: the usual WW toast and Cheez Whiz (2)
L: mushroom and brie soup (2), Melba toast (2), Cheese (2), Cukes and vinegar (0)
S: cheesecake (1), pita chips (1) - did not eat these together though!!!
D: chili (5) and sesame bread (4)
S: can't decide! I've been debating about it ever since dinner 2 hours ago! We'll see what wins out!
Happy Biggest Loser night :)

Weekend FULL of 35 points!

So I did it again! All my weekly points are gone after the weekend. I think that will likely be happening quite a bit now that I have my "day" job. It's so easy to be on track when you have a schedule during the week. Then, weekends are just a blow out with me. And there always seems to be some drinks in there as well, which really drains the points! That's what's good about the plan though. You can allow for that and still lose. YAY!
So the weekend also consisted of getting a new couch! We got a brown leather sectional at a new furniture auction that comes to town every so often. It is awesome!
So on to today's food:
B: 2 WW toast with Cheez Whiz (2)
L: Mushroom and brie soup (2) - (bought this gem at Costco. Had 1/2 c. and added some veg broth to stretch it out a bit. It is awesome but FULL of sodium of course!)
Melba toast and cheese (4)
Veggies and dip (1)
Apple (1)
S: Cheesecake (1)
D: Smart Ones lasagna thingy (6)
Salad (0)
FF chocolate milk (3)
Coffee crisp single (2) - (also from Costco...I finally found them!! SO worth the points!)
We did our long run today after work. Up to 8K...ouch for tomorrow! So I'm using 4 points later for a snack.
That's all for a Monday!
