February 4

Ok I guess today is the day i totally drove off the road… well not totally but I have not started the day off all that well.

Since I stayed at my moms last night I didnt have many options for breakfast.  I did prepare myself and brought a can of soup and some things to work the day before so  would have a good lunch but I forgot about breakfast.  Mom does not really have breakfast food in her house and to be honest. after I took a huge swig of milk at Thanksgiving only to have to spit it out because it was out dated and tasted like vinegar, I have no faith in whats in her cabinets.  So on the way to work I was going to get a bagel w/ cream cheese or something else but they all seemed to be high in fat and calories.  I so screw it and stopped at McDonalds and got one sausage biscuit with no egg or cheese and that was my breakfast.  Its a terrible way to start the day but I used to get 2 of these sandwiches as well as a hash browns so compared to how i used to be its not bad but still not a good thing.  so here is todays eating:

breakfast: Sausage biscuit with no egg or cheese

Lunch:  progresso  “chicken pot pie” soup.  with some pretzels to snack on

Tuesday February 3 brings another day of school and no going home tonight.  Since the school is so far from home and I get out at 10 pm I will be staying at my mothers who is much closer to school than my home is.  I hate staying overnight at her house because I miss being home and also miss my wife.  If I would go home after class I literally would have to go to bed right away as it will be about 11:30 at night and then get up 6 hours later to go to work.  So it makes sense to stay at my moms and not waste the gs going home. 

So fir todays eating:

breakfast:  Rice krispies and 2% milk…160 calories

Lunch:  Small salad with mixed greens and ranch dressing. (again dipped not poured)

Half turkey sandwich with mustard and no cheese

Lite yogurt for something sweet after lunch 100 calories

Snack:  Pretzels for munching!

Dinner

Since I was going to school I packed a peanut butter sandwich and some pretzels to eat.

After school at 10.30 I was pretty hungry and stopped for a mcchicken sandwich at McDonalds.  No fries or anything just a sandwhich which really blew my day in terms of calories.  There were no other healthier choices available to me as I only had a few bucks on me .

Ok, Its a new day, a new month and the Super Bowl is now over.  Although I would have loved to see the Cardinals win it was still a great weekend as I got to spend alot of time with my wife while relaxing. 

Since it is now February 2nd I need to get back in the swing of things in terms of documenting what I am eating and really staying very close to the new eating I have been struggling with.  We actually went shopping over the weekend and purchased food that was good for us allowing us to jump into the spring weight loss season with both feet.  Atthis time I just dont think I am going to make my goal of 60 in 60 but any weight loss is a huge success and very much welcomed.  I have started again my walking after taking a week off because of my knee just killing me.  So I am now back to walking and plan on doing some exercises tonight when I get home.  Then its off to homework after that!!

 So to start the new month off here is my intake for the day

Breakfast

1 small bowl of rice krispes ceral with 2% milk….about 190 calories

Lunch

Small side salad made with “spring mix” lettuce and dipped (not pured over) ceasar dressing.  Not quite sure of the calories but the dressing was not bad and since I dipped it and not poured it over the salad that had to be good right!!

Half turkey sandwich with 1 slice bread and mustard on it.

Light low fat yogurt  100 calories

Snack

Munching on some pretzels which are about 95 calories per serving.  I brought with me one serving today.

And for the 2 hour drive home I brought a chex mix bar that has 140 calories and zero grams of saturated fat.  That should satisfy me until I get home

Dinner: Small baked potato with low cal butter and sour cream.  a small sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese topped this one off. 

Small chicken breast

1 serving of corn
