May 2008

My numbers are all over the place today; I was up to 226.2 lbs on the scale this morning and my BodyBugg reported about 100 less calories for my walk to town today. When I compared it to the data from my other walks, it said I took anywhere from 600-2000 less steps than my walks on days prior. So the reason for burning less calories on today’s walk was because I somehow took less steps? *shrugs* I guess so! lol How does it know how big my stride is? I haven’t set it anywhere. I don’t think it’s even an option. Ah well, it’s never going to be the same exact result everyday, but I am curious how it was about 100 calories less than usual, especially because my weight went up not down lol!

So it’s after midnight right now but I’ve only eaten about 900 calories! I’m going to finish my menu in a little bit, but I wasn’t that hungry today. Probably because I ate so much yesterday. I did a great job staying low on sodium today. I’m going to try to aim for 1500mg or less for the next few days. That’s what I usually do on my menus anyway, but I’ve been a little too lenient with sodium in the past couple of months. Tsk, tsk!

I drank my first meal of the day:

I made a big smoothie in the blender that I planned to drink half of today and the other half tomorrow. I used:

1 Fage Total 2% plain yogurt (small container, 130 cal)
1 medium banana (110 cal)
1 cup (144g) fresh strawberries (50 cal)
1 cup skim milk (90 cal)
2 TBSP flax seed (60 cal)
30g Bear Naked Heavenly Chocolate granola (130 cal)
5-10 ice cubes

= 570 calories; 2 servings; 285 calories each

It was REALLY yummy! It could have used a bit more sweetness; I probably should have added a few drops of liquid Stevia, but it was still awesome and FILLING as is. I really liked the flax seed and granola in it. It gave me something to chew on after each sip lol. It was awesome. I need to have smoothies more often! They’re perfect for the warm weather and making them ahead of time. Yummmmmmmmy!

Can you tell I like ground turkey breast burgers? lol I LOVE them! I could seriously eat them morning, noon, and night. For only 325 calories, I had a complete meal with dessert:

I made the 3oz ground turkey breast (90 cal) burger really thin and cooked it in a nonstick frying pan. What’s nice about lean meat, is that when you make it thin, it stays that way and doesn’t “bunch up” like fattier meat does when you cook it. I sliced up 106g Granny Smith apple (55 cal) and weighed out 14g Snyder’s unsalted mini pretzels (55 cal) that I had along side my turkey burger on 1 Martin’s 100% whole wheat potato roll (80 cal) with ½ Tablespoon Heinz no salt added ketchup (10 cal), 1 cup Bibb lettuce (5 cal), 30g red onions (15 cal), and 1 plum tomato (15 cal). DEEELISH!

Working with only 1500 calories doesn’t allow for too much wiggle room when it comes to dinner. Well, with an appetite like mine anyway lol. Good thing I wasn’t too hungry today! I made a pretty little plate of whole wheat pasta with veggies and a few beans, which only came to 270 calories, but it was quite satisfying:

I steamed 84g frozen butternut squash (40 cal) in the microwave while I boiled 1oz whole wheat penne pasta (105 cal). In a nonstick pan I added in: 1 teaspoon olive oil (40 cal), 1 minced garlic clove (5 cal), 30g red onions (15 cal), 1 diced plum tomato (15 cal), 3 cups (84g) fresh spinach (20 cal), 2 TBSP no salt added Cennellini beans (25 cal) and the butternut squash. I let that all cook together, then drained the pasta and added it in. With 1 TBSP grated pecorino romano cheese (20 cal), this was a great, low-cal meal that could work with more beans, no pasta, more veggies, more pasta, or with just veggies and meat. Maybe even tofu? Not sure. I’ve never had tofu before!

More than yesterday, but still not giving my elliptical as much credit as it should. I know it never will, but I still like to whine about it. LOL I have a lot of cardio planned for tomorrow (60 mins), plus strength training and a walk. Busy day. I better rest up!

First off, I didn’t do my usual menu today. I ate horribly and drank a lot. And not water; vodka mixed with Italian ice. I don’t know why, maybe it’s Aunt Flo driving me to the brink of madness or maybe I’m just drained, but all I know is that I was craving the greasiest food today, so I ate it and I don’t feel bad about it. Just wanted it and didn’t care about my menu at all. It happens. Several times in the past week actually, but oh well; life goes on! I think I’m feeling a bit anxious to be honest. I have my one year “diet” anniversary coming up next week and between Aunt Flo being in town at the beginning of May, several “free days” the past month, increasing my activity which always makes me retain water, and Aunt Flo’s return this week, I only lost 3 lbs the entire month. I’m hanging onto at least 1 or 2 lbs of excess water weight from her current visit and my free days still, but overall, I feel like any loss is good, even if it was just .0001 lb. A slow-down in weight loss is to be expected under those circumstances and I honestly don’t feel bad about any of it. There will be days, weeks, and months like this all throughout my life and I feel so much better knowing that I have the knowledge and drive to balance it all out.

The only thing I’m disappointed about is knowing that I won’t hit my 100 lb loss before it’s officially been a year, unless of course I drop several pounds of water overnight lol. It’s happened before. I’m going to try to stay as low on sodium as possible over the next week. Maybe I will “deflate” and get there unexpectedly lol! If not, no worries. I must admit I am tired of feeling “puffy.” This entire month I’ve felt nothing but bloated and yucky; half from my free day splurges and half from Aunt Flo’s wrath. I’m looking forward to avoiding sodium as much as possible for the next week. I can’t stand feeling so puffed up all the time, even though my weight stays the same or I gain a couple of pounds.

I did exercise today, even though today wasn’t a planned exercise day. I’m SO annoyed by BodyBugg though. I did 60 minutes on my elliptical, varying the speed and resistance and I was drenched in sweat, my heart rate was up; it was a really good workout. So I got done and uploaded my BodyBugg results and was appalled to see that it says I only had 11 minutes of activity for the whole day, 2 of which were already on there earlier from riding my bike around the driveway for a few minutes. Ugh! I know that couldn’t be right. Obviously it wasn’t detecting my elliptical workout the way it was supposed to. When I go shopping it says I have more activity and steps than my elliptical and I know I’m not out of breath and dripping with sweat in the middle of the store. It also gives me an accurate reading for the walks we take to town and those are pretty light effort compared to the way I push myself on my elliptical. I was so upset! It usually gives me a little better accuracy for my elliptical sessions, but not today. I don’t know what happened. I know that I didn’t suddenly stop burning as many calories as the day before or the days before that, but sheesh, talk about being disappointed. I usually stop every 15 minutes on my elliptical to take a break, but today I went straight through the 60 minutes without stopping and it gave me the worst results ever. Go figure!

*sigh*

Knowing that it warns about not detecting certain movement like elliptical trainers makes me feel a little better, but I still like to see the numbers, even though I lost most of my weight not having a heart rate monitor or a BodyBugg. My husband thinks its making me second guess myself too much, but I’m just a stats junkie and I like data mining LOL. Ah well, no worries. I’ll go for a walk tomorrow to lift my spirits… (and my BodyBugg burn rate ) !

I had a decent menu planned for today, but I abandoned it and ate McDonald’s. They have this new mushroom swiss burger that’s really good. I think it’s new, I’ve never seen it until recently.

So after that greasy (delicious!) meal, I did 60 minutes on my elliptical which could have been done in just 9 minutes according to BodyBugg LOL, then I showered and we went for ice cream. I was really sad about my BodyBugg and worried that it wasn’t working right, but I think I was just hormonal at the time. Aunt Flo really makes me crazy at times. It seems like my cravings don’t kick in until she’s about to leave. Ice cream always hits the spot:

Just a small vanilla cone with rainbow sprinkles. It was very good and totally worth the 10 billion calories LOL. That’s probably not even a joke!

Then we went shopping. I bought an ice cream maker and an ice shaver. I’m going to try to make fruit sorbet and other yummy stuff. I say that now but I’ll probably end up using it once before it ends up in my appliance graveyard lol.

Oh, and it said I was just as active walking around the store as I was on my elliptical. I don’t believe you BodyBugg! LIES!!

*giggles*

Then we came home and hubby decided to be the bartender and made Italian ice in the blender with vodka. It was very good, but alcohol doesn’t do much for me when I’ve eaten beforehand. I’m one of those people that can eat OR drink, I can’t do both. I’m weird I guess! lol

After drinking 2 frosty alcoholic beverages, I was hungry, so I made a turkey burger and Nathan’s fries in the oven:

I didn’t measure any of it, but I imagine it was around 700 calories for this, maybe a bit less. It was really yummy but I feel so full right now. I could explode! lol I hope I don’t. hehe

I need a good night’s sleep. Hopefully I’ll get one so I can go on a nice, much needed walk tomorrow. I’m sure Dustin will have a hangover and will be looking forward to being woken up to walk to the post office!! hehehe

I found this article filled with a lot of great ideas to liven up your menus. I actually already do some of these things, so thought I’d share the creative list:

1. Experiment with new foods and combinations. Try mango or peach slices on
   whole-wheat toast with a little peanut butter and honey. Toss some mandarin
   orange and peach slices into a salad.
2. Add chickpeas, black beans or garbanzos to your lunch or dinner salad.
   If you typically buy a salad at work and no beans are available, bring beans
   from home in a small container.
3. Try something new for breakfast. Munch on leftover vegetable pizza or make
   a smoothie blended from exotic fruits, low-fat yogurt and a spoonful of wheat
   germ.
4. Stir-fry extra-firm or firm tofu rather than meat in oriental dishes. Freezing
   and then thawing tofu before use gives it a firmer, chewier texture.
5. Make a nutritious snack rather than a full meal when time is tight. For
   example, spread a brown rice cake with ricotta cheese and fresh strawberries
   or low-sugar, spreadable fruit. Or try corn muffins with apple and cheese
   slices, or fat-free refried beans mixed with salsa, a small amount of low-fat
   sour cream and baked tortilla chips.
6. Add crushed bran cereal or unprocessed wheat bran to baked products, such
   as meatloaf, breads, muffins, casseroles, cakes and cookies. Also, use bran
   products as a crunchy topping for casseroles, salads or cooked vegetables.
7. Grill fresh vegetables for a quick and healthy side dish. Cut vegetables
   into 1/2-inch slices or large chunks and baste with a light salad dressing
   or brush them with canola or olive oil. Grill until tender, turning only once.
8. Take advantage of ready-to-use foods. Fresh bagged salads, frozen vegetables,
   low-fat deli meats, whole-wheat pasta, whole-grain breads, and fresh and canned
   unsweetened fruits take only minutes to prepare.
9. Vary your salad greens and enjoy the multitude of flavors and textures.
   Choices include arugula, chicory, collard greens, dandelion greens, kale,
   mustard greens, spinach or watercress. Purchase a different variety each week.
10. For breakfast on the go, munch dry, ready-to-eat cereal with a banana and
    drink a small carton of low-fat or skim milk.
11. Choose a dish that serves as a full meal for quick and simple cooking. Healthy
    examples include beef, barley and vegetable stew; chicken, vegetable and rice
    casserole; turkey and bean casserole (made with turkey breast, white beans
    and tomatoes); or vegetarian chili with diced vegetables.
12. Take advantage of healthy side dishes offered at fast-food restaurants.
    Instead of french fries, choose a side salad with low-fat dressing or a baked
    potato. Or add a fruit bowl or a fruit and yogurt option to your meal.
13. Stock your shelves with good-for-you snacks. Low-fat pudding cups, dry roasted
    soy nuts, low-fat popcorn and whole-grain crispbread crackers are good choices.
14. Decrease the meat portion on your plate and increase the serving size of
    vegetables. Use three times as many vegetables on pizzas or in casseroles,
    soups and stews.
15. Plan meals so that you can use the extra food in other dishes. For example,
    bake chicken breasts for a meal and use what’s left in sandwiches, soup or
    a stir-fry.
16. Use salsa for more than just chips. Whether it’s mild, fruity, scorching,
    smooth or chunky, salsa is a great companion for potatoes, vegetables, fish,
    chicken or meats.
17. Marinate meat, chicken, fish before cooking to tenderize and add flavor
    to foods. Try mixtures of herbs or spices with wine, olive oil, soy sauce,
    cider vinegar or lemon juice.
18. Expand your grain repertoire with whole-grain complements, such as kasha,
    brown rice, wild rice, barley or whole-wheat tortillas.
19. Use herbs and spices to add color, savory taste and sensational aroma. Add
    cilantro to rice or bean dishes. Sprinkle rosemary on roasted potatoes or
    grilled meats. Add freshly chopped chives to omelets or pasta salads.
20. Explore world cuisines. Discover and enjoy foods from around the world:
    Mexican, Latin American, Indian, Greek, French and Asian cuisines, just to
    name a few. Some of the world’s most intriguing ingredients — quinoa,
    edamame, bok choy, bulgur — are as healthy as they are delicious.

I had an excellent menu today. I started off with a yummy bagel with peanut butter and a fresh peach before we went on a walk to the post office:

I toasted 1 Thomas’ 100% whole wheat bagel (240 cal) in the toaster while I weighed 98g fresh peach (38 cal) on my food scale. When the bagel was done, I let it cool off for a few minutes, then spread on 2 TBSP (32g) Smart Balance Omega peanut butter (200 cal). Such a yummy and super filling breakfast for 478 calories. This kept me satisfied for a long, long time.

Before we left for our walk I made the whole wheat pizza dough I planned to use for supper:

½ cup whole wheat flour (200 cal)
¼ teaspoon yeast (10 cal*)
1 teaspoon honey (20 cal)
1 teaspoon olive oil – coat bowl with this (40 cal)
2 tablespoons warm water
Pinch of salt (optional)

= 270 calories, 1 serving

1. In bowl mix together water, yeast, and honey
2. Add in flour; knead until dough forms
3. Coat another bowl with the olive oil; add in dough ball; cover and let sit in warm place to rise

I had my husband take a pic of me on our back deck before we left. This is me at 224lbs in my ridiculous walking attire LOL!

I find that the combination of sun hat and sunglasses helps to keep bugs out of my face. My husband was wearing a white t-shirt and black sweat pants too, and when my mother was passing by on the road, she stopped to tell us we looked like the Bopsy twins LOL.

After we got home from our walk to the post office, I did my strength training and went on my elliptical for 30 minutes and did 4.2 miles worth of intervals. Then I took a shower and skipped lunch temporarily to start on dinner:

Being the dough was already made, this was incredibly simple to make. I preheated the oven to 475F, then made breaded chicken breast that I planned to use half in my lunch salad and the other half on pizza. I weighed out 118g chicken breast (130 cal); sliced in in half to make it 2 thin pieces, then I pounded it out between a piece of plastic wrap. I ground up 14g Nature’s Path Smart Bran cereal (45 cal) and 14g Nature’s Path corn flakes (55 cal) in my Magic Bullet with garlic powder and dried oregano. I sprayed a nonstick frying pan generously with Pam olive oil cooking spray, turned it on low, and then dipped both pieces of chicken breast in ¼ cup Egg Beaters (30 cal) and then breaded them with the breadcrumbs I made. When they were both fully coated, I set them in the frying pan; they cooked very quickly being they were so thin.

When the chicken was done, I took my whole wheat pizza dough (270 cal); cut it in half and made 2 rustic circles out of them. I diced 2 plum tomatoes (30 cal); spread them across both pieces of dough, then sprinkled on dried oregano and garlic powder. On one of the pizzas I added 1 piece of the breaded chicken breast (150 cal) and on the other I added 1.5 oz cooked shrimp (42 cal) and 1 garlic clove (5 cal) that I sliced thinly. I shredded 4 Sargento reduced fat mozzarella cheese sticks (200 cal) and then spread the cheese across each pizza and a little more dried oregano and garlic powder on top before I popped them into the preheated oven for just 8 minutes on a baking sheet lined with nonstick foil. The crust is very delicate being I like to spread it out as thin as possible without tearing it. It rises a bit in the oven and comes out perfectly.

With my side salad, this not 1, but 2 pizza dinner was just 872 calories and loaded with fresh, fantastic ingredients. 2 of my favorite pizzas used to be: Chicken Parmesan pizza and Shrimp & Garlic pizza. I haven’t had either of them in years and thought it was time to revisit them; only this time around they were a bit healthier than the pizza place I used to get them from. I used to eat chicken parmesan pizza a few times a week, mmm! It’s sooo good! I had to add up this dinner a few times because I couldn’t believe how much food it was for so little calories. They weren’t exactly small pizzas either, they were a very good size and probably enough for 2 meals. I ate them both and the salad though. YUMMMMYYYYYYYYYY!

I was very excited about my lunch salad that I ate a few hours after dinner. I haven’t had “crispy chicken” on a salad in a long time and I managed to have it without deep-frying chicken:

The breaded chicken breast (150 cal) was already cooked from dinner, so it only took a few minutes to make this gorgeous cripsy chicken salad. I started with 3 cups (84g) Bibb lettuce (15 cal), then piled on 1 oz fresh baby carrots (15 cal), 30g red onions (15 cal), 1oz Cabot 75% reduced fat cheddar cheese (60 cal), and of course the star of the show, the “crispy chicken.”

In my Magic Bullet (that I LOVE), I made blue cheese/ranch dressing with:

14g reduced fat blue cheese crumbles (40 cal)
100g Fage Total 2% plain yogurt (75 cal)
¼ teaspoon Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning (5 cal)

= 120 cal, 1 serving

Sensational salad!! I really, really liked it and for only 480 calories, you can enjoy lunch as much as you would at a restaurant for just pennies. I think next time I’m going to just bake the breaded chicken in the oven; it would come out pretty much the same. You could make the chicken ahead of time and use it all week for salads, sandwiches, wraps, with potatoes or rice, etc. or even freeze a big batch of them. I wish I made more while I was making them today. I think I’ll make some more tomorrow and use them later in the week. I’m sure my husband would love them too. He’s a major chicken freak. lol Hmm… I could probably make smaller pieces, add hot sauce to them and tell him their boneless Buffalo wings. With a little ranch dressing made from yogurt.. Oh yes, I like where this is going. hehehe

Ooooh! I was sooo close to burning over 3000 calories; SHUCKS! lol Well, I’m sure I did anyway being it doesn’t account for my strength training recovery and who knows what else. It’s a very useful guideline to follow though. Now, if I could just get rid of Aunt Flo and the effects of Memorial Day weekend free days I’d actually see some more results lol. I’m patient, I’ll be down and back to normal by next week. Which just happens to be my husband’s birthday. Another “free day”! haha Ice cream cake is SO worth it.

It was so warm out today; I actually woke up sweating! Yuck, I can’t stand the heat. My BodyBugg gets sweaty underneath, so I try to clean it with tissue. I’m wondering if there’s a better way? I’ve been hand-washing the strap in the sink every time I take a shower LOL. By the time I get out, it’s dry. Works out well. Today was the first time since I first got it that it detected it was off when I took a shower. It only asked me 2 other times what I was doing during that time, which happened to be 36 minutes today. The only time I take it off is to shower, but I wonder why it doesn’t detect it the other times I’ve showered? Buggy? Is that where the name stems from? lol I see they are selling them on www.24hourfitness.com for only $199 bucks now. When my husband bought mine a few weeks it ago it was $249. By the end of the year they’ll probably be $19.95 lol. Dustin said when he was ordering he didn’t see the digital display, so I’m going to order that separately.

I didn’t feel like I was very active today, but according to BudyBugg I was “moderately active” in relation to the Harris Benedict Equation. We took a walk to town, but that’s all I did other than cooking, grooming, etc. *shrugs* I always believed that basic walking and doing ordinary household tasks and errands makes someone moderately active, but according to some “diet web sites” and ‘expert’ *snicker*, you have to practically run 10 miles a day and do intense manual labor as your occupation to be considered moderately active. There’s probably millions of people out there that are raising children, maintaining a household, working 40 hours a week, running errands, and have a social life on weekends believing they are sedentary just because they have a desk job and their activity is limited to mundane chores. Sure, our bodies might become efficient at some of our usual tasks and movements, but that doesn’t mean we burn those calories for “free”, the energy has to come from somewhere and it’s important to get most of it from food and not just from within our own body. If I haven’t preached this enough: Fuel your body adequately for ALL of your activity and your basic needs.

I stumbled upon a very interesting article written in 1995:

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=…

“The body burns calories more slowly than normal after weight is lost, and faster than normal when weight is gained, the study found. This means it is harder both to lose and, perhaps surprising to some, to gain weight than to maintain the same level. In the study, researchers found that in volunteers who gained weight, metabolism was speeded up by 10 percent to 15 percent, and in those who lost weight, metabolism was 10 percent to 15 percent slower than normal.“

I’ve read paraphrased versions of this before, but I liked the way this article explains it and I think everybody should read it.

So, I’m up to 224.8 lbs on the scale, but I’m not upset over it. Aunt Flo is here, I had 3 “free days” very close together and tons of sodium/carbs, it’s humid, etc., so it could be worse. I know I’ll “deflate” soon enough and be back to where I started, plus lose even more.

I wasn’t especially hungry today. I’ve actually only had ~1250 calories of my menu and I’m about to go to sleep in a few minutes. We ate breakfast before we went for a walk today, then had a late lunch, AFTER dinner lol. A yummy salad with beans and creamy dressing:

I made a lettuce bed with 3 cups (84g) baby arugula and romaine mixed (15 cal), then topped it with: 1 plum tomato (15 cal), 30g red onions (15 cal), 1oz Cabot 75% reduced fat cheddar cheese (60 cal), 2 TBSP no salt added pinto beans (30 cal), 2 TBSP no salt added Cannellini beans (25 cal), and 1oz fresh baby carrots (15 cal). I mixed 2 TBSP Ken’s Steahouse Lite Vidalia Onion dressing (80 cal) with 50g Fage Total 2% plain yogurt (35 cal) to make my creamy dressing stretch as far as possible. With some red wine vinegar (10 cal), this was a very spicy and sweet salad for just 300 calories. I don’t think the arugula was quite the flavor I was looking for in this salad, it was REALLY spicy, but with the delicious dressing, it was really good. I looooooooove beans in a salad; you don’t need meat at all. It’s wonderful and very filling.

I’ve been craving a fish sandwich lately and what I made for dinner tasted just like a McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish:

I boiled 170g red potato (125 cal) while I baked 2 Trident pubhouse battered cod filets (140 cal) in the oven on 425F for about 16 minutes; turning them over halfway through. Then I steamed 1 cup Birds Eye broccoli (30 cal) in the microwave while I made the tartar sauce out of 3 BA-TEMPTE sweet bread & butter pickle slices (20 cal) that I chopped into little pieces and mixed with 50g Fage Total 2% yogurt (35 cal). When the fish filets were done, I placed them on 1 Martin’s 100% whole wheat potato roll (80 cal) and slathered on the tartar sauce made with yogurt. This was an EXCELLENT fish sandwich meal for just 460 calories. Oooh, it was sooooo good. If I wasn’t trying to stay low on sodium today, I could have eaten 2 of the fish sandwiches. It was so YUMMY! It probably would have been just as good without the breading on it too. I’ll have to try this same sandwich with baked fish. DEEEEEELISH!

Ugh, I just got a craving for Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies. I don’t know where it came from. It just randomly popped into my head. What the heck? LOL Chocolate Peppermint Luna bars taste just like them. Hmm… I don’t think I have one. Ah well, PB&J it is!
