Thursday, Thursday...

Still raining, dammit.

Breakfast: Some crazy no flour sprouted hooha wrap with a lettuce leaf, 1/4 (if that) tuna salad, 1 scrambled egg, 1 Tbsp. Cheddar Cheese, 3 cherry tomotoes. Tastier than advertised.

Lunch: 2 onigiri (no seaweed), miso soup, grapes, trail mix, 3 carrot sticks, 5 cherry tomatoes

Snack: Please! Keep me away from the snack machine! Bah, small bag of Cheetos.

Dinner: maybe sushi, I haven't been filled in on this evenings plans yet. As it turns out, we're going to Chili's. I'm going to have some sort of salad. I don't know what they have there.

Stardate - 10/24

It's almost my birthday! Does almost count?

B- leftover fried rice (see yesterday).

L- 2 onigiri, carrot sticks, 6 cherry tomatoes, wakame soup (seaweed), cantaloupe & grapes.

D - don't know, but I'm getting a massage tonight!

Snacks - I brought a small baggie of trailmix to nibble on throughout the day.

So dinner was a small tuna wrap and some sesame noodles when I got home. Then after the massage I went out with my friend R and had some "Zen Chicken Potstickers" and a Sangria. Reminder me never to go to T.G.I.Friday's again. Their food is the suck. Their drinks too.

But the massage was pretty okay - I've got another appointment next month.

Okay, so here I go...

Okay - weighed in this morning at 153.3. Not bad, but higher than I would like it to be, so I am joining forces with these two fine ladies to try and seriously do something about it.

My breakfast today (typically the same every day):

• homemade chai - spices, a little honey, black tea, and 1 c. unsweetened soy milk
• whole grain mini bagel with 1 oz. lox and neufachtel cheese
• cantaloupe and strawberries

My walk this morning was very nice - I think that autumn leaves were meant to be seen in the light of a rose and salmon-colored sunrise... beautiful! Bailey (the best motivation ever for walking every day) and I went 3.5 miles in about 45 minutes in the park. It's a pretty decent workout, by most normal people's standards (never you mind silly joggers and workout freaks of the world).

My lunch today (typically the same, with minor variations, every day):

• carrotts
• celery
• cucumber
• applesauce cup
• pear
• 15 pumpernickle (sp?) sticks

I was bad and had a Starbuck's chai (with soy milk) for a snack this morning. Afternoon snack was a handful of trail mix with cashews, little chocolate chips, sundrops and raisins. I haven't been very good about water lately, but I *always* feel better when I am... so, I'd better get drinking!

By the way - someone needs to invent some kind of nose plug that eliminates the smell of a freshly-popped bag of popcorn in offices! Grrr....

Great Idea!

Okay - jariris invited me to join, so now you're stuck with me. I think this is an awesome idea - go team!

Weighed in.

So I weighed in today while at the doctor's for my appointment.

225.

Not as bad as I feared, but still NOT GOOD AT ALL.

My blood pressure is up, which is not good. I may be changing around my BC, maybe. I'm going to try to research what kind of diet helps promote good BP and try that out.

I've got another appointment in a couple of weeks, so I'll be talking to the dr. more in depth then.

It's Tuesday

It seems that most of the posts start with how lazy and unmotivated we are. Hah.

I have doctor appointment today. Just an annual, but I'm hoping to talk with him about my random pains and aches as well. And woohoo, they'll weigh me, so I'll report that.

Sunday:
Breakfast: I have no recollection. I think it was a bowl of cereal, Cheerios and Soy Milk.
Lunch: Grilled Tuna Pita at the festival. It was really delicious. All okay I think, except for the Parmesan sauce...but there wasn't that much of it.
Dinner: Chinese take-out, mixed vegetables, 1.5 Cups and hot & sour soup 1 Cup.
At the bar: 3 ciders and a couple of nibbles from the artichoke and spinach dip. And the band was GREAT!

Monday:
Breakfast: Leftover hot & sour soup, 1 Cup.
Snack: 2 packs of Nature Valley Oatbars, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Lunch: Veggie Lasagna frozen meal, it was pretty tasty. Although obviously I was hungry 2 hours later.
Dinner: Leftover mixed vegetables, 1 Cup and brown rice, 1 Cup.

It's Tuesday:
Breakfast: 3/4 Cup of sesame noodles with peas and mushrooms, 3 Tbsp Trail Mix
Lunch: I boxed it...homemade fried rice with peas, tomatoes, scrambled egg and brown rice, carrot sticks (3), cherry tomatoes (5), grapes & cantaloupe, 3 Tbsp Trail Mix
Dinner: don't know yet, maybe Outback something since I've got a hair appt. after work...

FYI, Tim Gunn makes me smile. That is all.
