Haut City

this was yummy again. ground turkey with feta, made into a patty and forman-ed, over sauteed onions, peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms, all over mixed greens with a little balsamic vinegar drizzled on top.

this morning i made some eggwhites with a ton of chopped frozen spinach and a slice of lowfat cheddar melted on top.  i crumbled some big pieces of turkey bacon on top which, combined with the spinach, helped somewhat with the texture.

i ate kind of late, probably at about 11:30, so i was a little hungry by that point and afterwards i also had a weight watchers string cheese and a couple almonds.

after getting home i watched tv for a bit and then wanted some more food. i put together a platter of cucumbers and celery on which i put a little cream cheese, avocado, and smoked salmon – new thing for me.  i also have some tomato slices and a couple almonds.  interesting experience.

after hanging out with lawson and eddie most of the day, eddie wanted to go to this little cafe, cafecito on avenue c, for some cappucino. i was pretty hungry and they were getting fried plantains so i got a chicken breast salad which had avocado and red onion over mixed greens. it was really, really good chicken (this isnt it, i wish i had taken a pic tho it was awesome)

I woke up and wanted some eggies but like I said yesterday I have trouble eating them without carbs.  I had bought whole hard-boiled eggs at TJs so I sliced up the egg whites of one of them, chopped up some tomato, and a slice of light swiss cheese.  I was going to just eat that but it didnt feel whole enough so I sliced up some avocdo too, and ended up just putting it all over greens with pepper.  So, basically I had a sally.

I had such a yummy dinner.  I took 4oz of ground turkey, shaped it into a patty with feta, and grilled it on the forman.  I sauteed peppers, onions, mushrooms, and squash in a tablespoon of olive oil.  So freakin good.

I also had a babybel cheese and a handful of almonds for a snack during the day.

Then, I went over a friends, and when I got home I had another cheese, a few more almonds, and some green pepper strips.  Yay no carbs day 1!!!

Happpppyyyy Dietttt Dayyyy!!

For bfast I was on my way to the dr and hadnt food shopped yet so I grabbed a V8 from Lenz’s and then an egg, cheese, and turkey bacon sammy from starbucks and threw our the bread.  I dont like eating eggs without bread because of the texture but I’ll have to get used to it.

Then I went food shopping and for lunch I made a sally with mixed greens, fresh mozz cheese, a slice of deli turkey, a whole tomato, red onion, basil, and balsamic vinegar. Mmm.  My heartburn is killing me today ps.

Goooood morninggggg.  From today, there are 50 days until I go to San Diego to visit the Lizzard.  For once, I’d really love to feel amazingly good about myself on vacation (in a bathing suit, in my clothes, in my own skin!)  So, this will help chronicle my journey to beeee the best I can be.  My roommate and I have been eating vegetarian since Friday but we actually both mistakenly slipped up yesterday, believe it or not.  The only thing she had at work was a smart ones and she heated it up before even thinking about the fact that it had chicken, and didn’t want to waste it.  I went out, specifically avoided fried food since that’s another rule we’re playing by right now, and agreed to share a couple nachos.  They ended up having beef on them, and I had eaten a couple before realizing that I was eating meat – not that I didnt know it was meat, more just that I didnt think about it.  Anyways, back to it.  Having lunch soon which will be a baked potato, a bunch of steamed veggies, and cottage cheese.

Before I go I’d like to buy a new bathing suit.  I think that will be my reward WHEN I hit 115lbs with WW.

Yesterday I made this bean and rice and indian lentil thing… its a package of trader joe’s steam-in-bag brown rice, a trader joe’s “indian fare” lentil dish, black beans, chick peas and a can of crushed tomatoes.  diet cityyyy. and save money city.
