March 15: Meals

I know I didn't post Friday or Saturday, sorry. So today I've not really eaten anything specific. I made two things to eat with lunch this week though so I pieced on those. I made my Dad's pasta salad and I created a new salsa, Black bean and avocado. You can find the recipe and picture here. I'll probably have some ice cream later. I've also had a Coke this morning. Peace out.

March 12: Meals

Well, today didn't go as well as I had wanted. Tonka was being a big fat pain in the ass and I only got about 2 hours of sleep last night due to yet another screw up at Walgreen's. Grr.. Anyway, moving on. For breakfast I had a banana. For lunch I ate some wheat thins and dinner was spaghetti. I'm happy tomorrow is Friday. I am so ready for the weekend. I just want to sleep in so badly. Peace out.

March 11: Meals

Well today went by quickly. It seems like only a few hours ago I was writing yesterday's post. So today, I didn't have any breakfast. That may have contributed to my crankiness. Maybe not though. For lunch I made pancakes and they didn't taste very good. I only ate half of one. For dinner we made swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes. They were really tasty. Prior to dinner my Dad made this awesome new salsa! It's a black-eyed pea veggie salsa. I posted the recipe on MyRecipology blog and you can find the recipe here. The salsa is the picture below. The photo turned out really weird. I took the picture on my the counter at my parents house and it looks like it's floating. Peace out.

March 10: Meals

Today, I had a chocolate instant shake for breakfast. I used skim milk. It's the only milk I can choke down. For lunch I ate some wheat thins. And for dinner I made beef tacos. See you tomorrow.

March 9: Meals

Woo! Two days in a row. Go me go! I feel like this 'at least one picture' thing is a lot more managable for me. So for breakfast I ate an apple, and it was a damn good apple. Good flavor and it wasn't the least bit mushy. I hate mushy apples. For lunch I made mac n cheese and it was so good. It was cold out today so I loved having something to warm me up. With lunch I also drank 1/2 a coke. For dinner I had a little bit of scrambled eggs and hashbrowns. And the only picture I got was of the bowl of mint chip ice cream I had a few minutes ago. I also drank about 1/2 cup of milk because my stomach was bothering me. And if you know me, you know my tummy had to have been really bothering me to drink milk. I hate milk. See you tomorrow.

Falling Behind Again..

Well, obviously this food and pictures thing isn't for me. However, I'd like to keep my goal of recording everything I eat (in addition to my other goals). So I'll start to write each thing that I eat, and I'll try to take a picture of at least one meal daily. So today, I ate an apple, cheese slices, and wheat thins. I also had a Coke to drink. And for dinner I had about 3/4 cup of white rice and chicken/broccoli casserole. I'm thinking some mint chip ice cream sounds good too so I may have some a bit later.

March 1: Meals

Breakfast: Cinnamon raisin toast, strawberry-kiwi drink

Dinner: I didn't take a picture of dinner, but it was delicious. Roast, mashed potatoes, corn, and rolls. Yum. Thanks Mom and Dad.

February 22: Meals

I'm pretty sure I am coming down with a cold. This morning I woke up and my throat feels like it's closing up and my ears are totally full of fluid. And the cough started this afternoon. I haven't had much of an appetite, but here's what I've eaten today.

Breakfast: Vanilla yogurt, granola, almonds, and coconut

Drink: Banana Slurpee
(I didn't take a picture of this, sorry)

February 20: Meals

Today went pretty well. My headache wasn't too bad at all, but my tailbone was really bothering me all day. I probably slept wrong or something. I've been told that once you've broken your tailbone it bothers you the rest of your life. Mine only hurts if I sit for a while, like a ball games or when I'm driving. I can't believe it's been a year since I slipped and broke mine. Time goes faster and faster as I get older. Anyway, here is what I ate.

Breakfast: Vanilla yogurt with granola and

Lunch: Cheese quesadilla, chili Frito's, 1 glass of sparkly water

My sister and I are staying at the hotel she works at. We do this often. We order room service, just hang out and watch movies. It's nice because hotels have all of the movies that are in theaters (or were recently in theaters) and we get to watch them and then she takes the charges off our bill! He he. Anyway, I had a ham and cheese omlet, which I ate about 1/3 of. It wasn't very good. I also had a side of hashbrowns and I ate a few of Holli's fries.

February 19: Meals

Breakfast: Vanilla Yogurt with granola and coconut, chai tea
(I ate 1/2 the yogurt and drank 1/2 the tea)

Lunch: Cheese quesadiila, chili Frito's, sour cream

Dinner: Biscuits and gravy

February 18: Meals

Breakfast: Fuse Drink, peach yogurt

Snack: Popcorn
I ate approx 2 cups

Lunch: Cafe Rio veggie salad
I ate 1/3 of this salad

Treat: 3 Dove Promises
I ate all of these. Duh.

Dinner: Pancakes

February 16: Dinner

My Mom made what we call "Beef O'lay's" for dinner tonight. Yum! It's kind of like a taco salad. Kinda. First you start with Fritos's. Then you put a small layer of chili and then cheese. Next, you add lettuce, tomato, and then top it off with a dabble of sour cream. Sometimes we add avacados or guacamole.

I'm going to start logging my exercise on my posts as well. It has been a while since I exercised on a regular basis, and I have to build up slowly otherwise my knees start acting up and then I stop all together. So tonight's stuff was a little impromptu and I didn't have my knee braces, but it's a start.

Exercise:
Cardio : 21 minutes (walking Marley)
Squats: 30
Toe Raises: 30
Stretching: 5 minutes

February 16: Lunch

Helloo. I have had a relaxing morning so far, I did a few blog posts on my daily blog and watched a few episodes of Prison Break. Lunch was quick. I burned my finger on the pan when I was flipping the tortilla though, damn pan jumped out and got me. I had a cheese quasadilla and a small bowl of chilli fritos. In the other bowl is salsa and a dabble of sour cream. I also had a glass of black cherry sparkly water.

February 16: Breakfast

Good morning! I made President's Day pancakes for breakfast and they were pretty tasty! I also had a strawberry yogurt and water. I took the picture before I filled my glass, but it eventually had water in it. Because it's a holiday I gave Tonka a can of wet dog food too. If he keeps eating like this he'll have to go on a diet soon. Ha ha.

Breakfast

Tonka's breakfast

I'm back!

Hi blog friends and stalkers! Okay, I know I was absent longer than I had anticipated, but now I'm back! I had a fabulous dinner party tonight with my family and here are a few pictures. I made beef tacos with refried beans and mexican rice. I ate 3/4 of a taco and about 3 strawberries. I also had one glass of sparkling cider. Even Tonka got a treat tonight with a meal of canned dog food. And from the looks of it, he thoroughly enjoyed it and is now sound asleep at my feet.

And just to get back in the groove of recording my meals, for breakfast I ate a peach Activa yogurt. I didn't take a picture though. And I skipped lunch because I wanted to be extra hungry for my fabulous dinner party!

Also, I am doing well with my other goals. I am a little behind on my book for this month, but I hope to finish it before the 28th! I've been flossing everyday and drinking more water as well.

I've also decided to add an additional bi-weekly goal to my list. I am going to add a new recipe to My Recipology blog at least once every 2 weeks. For those that do not know, My Recipology, is a blog of recipes that I make. I started it months ago, but haven't made much of an effort to keep it up to date. I updated it this evening with the chocolate strawberries and while they are pretty much self explainatory, I like to record even the simple things I make. So check it out!

Taco fixings: Iceberg lettuce, flour tortillas, ground beef, mexican rice,
refried beans, tomatoes, avacado, cheddar cheese

Dessert: Chocolate covered strawberries

Tonka's meal: Serloin beef dinner and busy bone

February 5: No post..again

Sorry. I am still very nauseous and haven't had anything to eat but Sprite and saltine crackers today. I didn't take any pictures of those. But since there are few people reading this blog, I don't think anyone will be too disappointed. I've just been laying in my bed all day watching Will & Grace and reading a bit of this month's book, Nineteen Minutes. It is pretty good so far, thanks Holli for recommending it. I hope to return tomorrow sans queasy stomach and pictures of tasty food. Goodnight. 

February 4: No Post

I've felt rather nauseous for the last few hours and the thought of looking at pictures of the food I ate today makes me quite pukey. I ate breakfast and lunch but no dinner. I'll catch up tomorrow. 

February 3: Meals

Breakfast: 2 slices of whole wheat toast w/butter

Lunch: Slurpee (really healthy huh?)

Dinner: BBQ Hamburger chips

February 2: Meals

Today. Ugh. My head was pounding most of the day and I didn't really have an appetite. But here is what I ate. The pictures suck, FYI, and I ate a donut this morning with some headache meds and I don't have a picture of it. But it was delish.

Dinner: Leftover lasagna, 3-bean salad, bread

Snack: Banana slurpee. I am always in the mood for these. Always.

February 1: Dinner

After finishing my post earlier and starting some laundry, I headed to my parents house for dinner. My Mom made something new, lasagna rolls and it was really good. She put the lasagna fixings on the bottom of the pan and then rolled the noodles with the cheeses. We also had 3-bean salad. I could not take a very good picture of this meal, so it doesn't look very good. But I promise you it tasted awesome.
