testing these waters

Jason and I had a lil chit chat last night. Cause I came home, and was a WRECK. Food didn't help, relaxing didn't help. We determined i wasn't stressed or sleepy, i just wanted to CRY. I was an emotional basketcase.

Well, he came up with an alternative to my switching from jello to something else for afternoon snack. He doesn't think the food will fix it, since it didn't last night. I tend to agree with him. And he reminded me of something my doctor told me about a year ago - that if i could eat better and drop some weight, I probably wouldn't need the metformin. She wanted to check me when i got below 240.

Well, I'm below 240. So I'm going off the metformin. Jason and I will watch me VERY carefully, and I'm carrying it with me JUST in case. But we're thinking diet regulation PLUS med regulation is OVER regulation.

gods, i hope so. i would LOVE to be done with these pills

grocery shopping

Jason went grocery shopping last night before I got off work. I'm always so afraid when someone else does the grocery shopping - what will they buy? Will they understand how dedicated I am to eating right and losing weight, or will they pick up crap?

Jason, I'm happy to report, gets it. He came back with:

  • 1 small bag of salad mix - he likes to buy things in bulk, but I tend to not want to eat salad when it starts getting yucky. So he didn't. So I'll eat it. We'll get more when I run out.
  • A ton of string cheese. Literally, the biggest package he could find. He noticed i was using it a lot, and so he picked up a bunch.
  • Jello. He even remembered the sugar free variety. We both like saving money, and he saw a store brand that came in a bunch of flavors, but wasn't sure if i'd like it. So to make sure I'll actually eat the right stuff and NOT stop because my options taste like crap, he bought the real stuff. In the right flavors. And more than I expected - because, as he puts it, at 10 calories, i can just keep eating it when I'm hungry. I now have orange, strawberry, cherry, and black cherry.
He did NOT come back with:
  • New high-calorie sauces I absolutely must try
  • ice cream
  • candy
  • chips
In conclusion, support is awesome.

I'm out of Jello. Jason says he'll pick some up after work, but in the meantime, I need a snack. I think the jello thing worked out GREAT - it kept me from starving, and kept me well within my goal.

Today, I'm taking raisins. I brought 1/4 C raisins (130 cal) which i'll split between my breaks. Yes, it's a lot higher than jello. So i'm also going a little less on my breakfast snack and a little less on lunch. It'll work out. :)

Nor can I find what I ate listed elswhere.

Quaker Oatmeal Express









http://www.quakeroats.com/products/oatmeal/oatmeal-express/baked-apple.aspx

Brought to you by the little free food cabinet at work.

This is oatmeal, plain and simple. More of the free food I can get around here. This place can be pretty scary with the amount of free food - a diet can be hard to stick to!

Oatmeal makes a good breakfast though, when I'm running late and forget to grab something. And this is pretty good. We've got the Golden Brown Sugar & the Baked Apple varieties. Both seem to be the same calories.

It's a decent breakfast.

Lipton Cup-a-Soup

This is an awesome product. It's soup, in a little packet. You put it in a mug/bowl, add water, and have insta-food.

http://www.cupasoup.com/

The website shows the retail versions, but it also comes in big much-plainer packaging for businesses. Here at work, we have Chicken Noodle, Cream of Chicken, and Beef flavors free to grab. The Chicken Noodle one at work is only 50 calories. Which is a quick, easy (and cheap!) way to get some quick protein in.

New Recipe!

I wanted something kinda stroganoffy tonight. But I'm out of sour cream, have no steak, and no noodles. Time to get creative! Here's what I got

1 Medium-Large baking potato (Leftovers FTW) my size is about 200 cal
1 lb ground beef. Mine's only lean, but I rinse and drain it - 620 cal *
1/4 Cup-ish of yellow onion, chopped. My sister says an onion is 110cal. I used about an eighth of one, which I estimate at roughly 1/4 C - 15cal
1 BIG Can mushrooms - 90cal
1 Can Campbells Mushroom soup - 250 cal
some Worchestshire Pepper (This is pepper flavored like worchestshire sauce - I LOVE it - no cal)

Total for dinner dish: 1175

Divide into fourths for portioning. Figure it at about 300 cal!

A bout 4 tbsp of salsa - 40 cal
1/2 a baked apple/raisin thingy - 150cal?

Total Daily: 1175 Cal

I'm really proud of myself with this Chevy's thing. I mean, I KNOW it's throwing me over my cal budgets, but the three meals I've had off it are all part of what I'd normally eat as ONE meal.

Other healthy things I'm doing: I started taking 800mg of folic acid/day, on the advice of my Dr, who is happily NOT afraid of nutritional supplements.

I canceled my chiro appt for today - I feel FINE. I could do cartwheels (well, as well as I usually do).

I'm home today - I went to work, cause I feel fine, but I've still got this cough, so they sent me back home. I tried the baked apple recipe...only I didn't have splenda, so I used brown sugar twin. We'll see how it works. I think a good addition to the sugar/cinna mix would be molly mcbutter.

So...here's the deal. I don't seem to have a problem sticking to 1200 calories on a regular basis. it's that extra 300 btwn 900 & 300 that's the problem. Where do i cut it? obv, dinner is my problem....but...how? without feeling hungry all night? hrmm

Old Spagetti Factory






We eat @ OSF when Jason has had a really rough day or when he needs a treat. I like it, but he absolutely loves it. He always gets the same thing, whereas I like just about everything on the menu. I was surprised at how NOT bad for me some of this stuff can be, actually. I just have to be careful.

http://www.osf.com/menu/nutrition.htm

The idea behind this place is, you get a full meal, served in courses. They start you off with bread, then bring Soup or Salad, then your entree, and then desert.

So...Bread:
They bring out one loaf for everyone to share. This is apparently 4 servings, at 328 calories a serving. The loaf we cut into about 8 pieces, and I generally have one slice.

328x4/8= 164 calories. I think I'll skip the bread.

next, soup or salad. After scanning the list, I have two options - one for when I'm cold and want soup, and one for salad.

Minestrone soup: 60 cal
Salad w/ FF Honey Mustard: 120 cal

Next, the Entree. I don't have any one special, so this was just a matter of scanning the menu.

Spinach & Cheese Ravioli - 480 cal. I think I'll eat half - 240 cal.

And then there's desert - spumoni ice cream - 180 cal.

So, my total is 540 calories, or 480 calories.
either way, this is a little out of range for me. I can still do it, but I need to know ahead of time to adjust the rest of my meals to leave room.

Red Robin







Red Robin is one of my favorite restaurants. For years, they haven't had any sort of nutitional guide, but I found out today, they added a 'build a meal' thingy. So I used it.

  • Garden Burger (no bun or sauce)- 141 calories. The bun adds 250 calories, the sauce 126.
  • Lettuce Wrap burger (no cheese) - 332 calories. The cheese adds 90 calories
  • Grilled Turkey Burger (no bun or sauce) - 262 calories. The bun adds 250 calories, the sauce 192.
  • Crispy Fish Burger (no bun or sauce) - 217 calories. The bun adds 250 calories, the sauce 136.
None of these include the steak fries. The side of them is 390 calories by themselves.
They also include a salmon burger in their lighter fare section but I detest non-deep-fried fish.

stuff I usually like from them:
  • Fish & Chips is 1067 calories. I can eat a third of it.
  • Santa Fe Burger - 1042 calories. Not including the fries. OUCH. I won't remove the sauce, cause it MAKES the burger. Ditto on the sauteed onions and cheese and pablono pepper. But if I remove the bun, the tortilla strips, and the guacamole, i can get it to 680 calories, at which point I can eat half of it.
  • Fajita Fiesta Pollo Salad - 1265 calories. Ow, Ow, Ow. So I take off the nacho cheese and the salad dressing and get it down to 652 calories. I can eat half of THAT.

Today, I'm not paying much attention to what I eat. Primarily, this is because I am rather ill and running a fever, and sleeping a lot on the couch while the TV's on. Jason's also sick and is doing the same.

Breakfast - IHOP's chicken fiesta omelette. I only ate 2 of the pancakes though. - no idea what time or calories.
Lunch - slept through it.
Dinner - Chevy's Chile Relano & a lil thing of corn. Left the rest of my meal for later.

Total Count - clueless, but I don't think it's too bad.
