Confessions:. I’ve been a bad girl these past couple of days. Sunday was the worst.
For breakfast I had 2 scrambled eggs, country sausage, cheese grits, cinnamon bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Then at lunch I had a BBQ pork rib & broccoli, cauliflower, carrot in cheese sauce. Snack I had a bowl of Honey Smacks with 2% milk. And dinner I had chili w/crackers.
Yesterday I did good all day but for dinner I made shrimp alfredo with penne pasta and no it wasn’t whole wheat. But I did use that I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray to sautee’ the shrimp with garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper & paprika oh and some parmesan cheese on top and garlic cheese bread.
Ok I need to get my butt back on track. I did weigh this morning and I gained like 1/2 a lb so I’m happy my going overboard wasn’t too tramatic. I really don’t want to hit the send button but I feel I have to get this off my chest. Be gentle with me 
Ok anybody else wanna confess too? Don’t leave me alone here 
wow sissy, when you go off-track. you really do it up!
Last Friday some friends and I were starving, so on the way to another friend’s house, we picked up 2 bags of chips with salsa for our supper. =D Feel better now?
I KNOW!! I don’t know what came over me!! §.
It happens to the best of us. just look at the response you got to your post! Just get right back on track. You’ll be fine!
I had fast food. 3 times last week!
drank too much. this weekend while visiting my friend. Not tons, but more than I wanted. Although we did go for a long run and a great climb up a mountain, but then yesterday I didnt exercise at all.
that was bad especially since it is T-day week. I always eat too much stuffing. that is my weakness.
omg I love stuffing. §.
pan-fried so it is a bit crispy. that is how I like it.. drooling now.
I used to take. the same amount of everything, until I finally realized I don’t like a bunch of dried out turkey meat. Now I mostly go for the stuffing, potatoes and gravy. I only have them a couple times a year, so what the heck!
I love it too!. Especially cornbread stuffing…with sausage.
which btw…. im making mine with chicken sausage for this year!
good substitution. and with allt he flavor people probably won’t even know
I make mine the same evrey year… maybe boring but I love it
50% rye
50% heart white
and brown in a pan with butter
I’m still deciding which sausage to use…. Or if I should make two batches…
I have apple chicken sausage and red bell pepper and onion.
different directions. but both would be good. I would personally try the apple chicken… if you dont make both. but that is pure preference. I like that one- if it is the same one I have had.
yum, stuffing… §.
Umm…. I’ve been pretty good all week, but I’ve been having night-hungries lately.
My usually calorie intake is right around 1300 for the day.
The day before yesterday, my night munchies put me at about 1900, and last night, I was close to 1700.
I’m exercising during the day and my munchies are generally clean, so I’m not too worried about it, but it’s not a habit I want to nurture, either.
I had chicken last night…. with the skin and barbecue sauce…too much sugar and I know the skin had some fat on it. But it was pretty crispy and tasted good for a change. I also had the snackies so I snagged a pb&j before bed.
i mauled a giant veggie burger. and waffle fries. I’d been craving it for a few days and finally decided to just go for it. I went to this fantastic, disgusting bar that names all of its burgers after heavy metal bands. I had the Iron Maiden, which had cherry peppers, pepper jack cheese and chipotle mayo.
I had half the meal for lunch and half for dinner. When I went to bed that night, I realized I didn’t even go over my calories for the day. I just didn’t really eat a single vegetable or anything with any caloric value.
lol. “mauled” §.
I’ve been feeling guilty too…. I was really stressed last night, and needed something comforting…so I made Dreamfield’s low-carb pasta with fat-free cheese, and some brussels sprouts. Then I ate a two sugar-free Jello puddings. And then I ate like a half-cup of pumpkin with Splenda and a TBSP of brown sugar. This was almost 700 calories in less than two hours…..but I am going to the gym twice today to make up for it.
Since I was down with the flu last week I. haven’t worked out.
Not even once.
I am better this week but SO unmotivated.
I’m having a really hard time with modivation to. work out too. Maybe we should make a pact to work out tonight. What do you say? Then check back in tomorrow?
Okay – done!. Check in with you in the morning!
Got it. Ugg. Now I really have to!. Or I should be more positive and say “yay, I really am going to”! lol.
lol, yeah §.
yesterday. i had a ton of pizza at lunch, and then promptly had a rebelling digestive system the rest of the day and could only handle a banana and yogurt at dinner.
i felt very stupid.
Awww. That sucks!. Pizza makes me feel ill at times too.
Mine. I had a bit of Thanksgiving left overs after a very healthy dinner. We are celebrating 3 times this year between all the different families and had one celebration on Sunday. I feel shamed.
aw, curiousgurl,. shame is such an unproductive emotion. No reason to do that to yourself over a bit of leftovers.
Well I was down a lb this morning. so my overall diet has to be doing well! Thanks Bells
Something from Difo that I have learned is that I can indulge here and there. I felt like I was doing something bad last night though because I already had dinner. I was just still hungry so I ate what was left of everything from the night before (not much). I felt it was unnecessary. Like an extra meal my body didn’t need…ya know?
But I’ll be ok. I am going to have left overs tonight of my same delish meal I made yesterday- and plan ahead to have something healthy if I get that late night hunger again. I’m not one not to eat after 7- if I’m hungry, I’m hungry. I just need to have something on hand that is healthy to eat!
last night… After being sick all weekend my SO took me out for dinner. I devoured a small salad, a freshly baked multi-grain bun, 2 red potatoes, braized cabbage and marinated london broil with herb-butter, a pint of oatmeal stout, and half a chocolate cake with coffee…
We were both shocked! I did eat less over the weekend, but I did have substantial breakfasts and dinners (no lunch because I slept in too late.) I normally can only eat half my plate, but it was like I hadn’t eaten the previous course when the next came.
I won’t have time to go rock climbing tonight, so I better bust out the DDR pad.
I confess. that I blew off taking more work so I could take more time off over the holidays.
Does that count? I don’t really have much food related guilt.
What do you do for work? §.
AMEN BOB. I’m setting the foundation for blowing off work too. But I never eat off my list – that would be cheating myself – not that I don’t have a lot of other flaws
A few.. I didn’t run on Sunday even though I had the time and I was planning to, because I was SO tired. I am supposed to run today, but I’m still feeling sick so I don’t know if I will feel up to it later. If I do, I’m sure it’ll just be an easy jog instead of the interval workout I had in mind. It sucks because I’m not really sick enough to say I’m sick, but I feel lousy, so I don’t feel like doing anything.
I ate two peanut butter cookies and 2 mini reese’s cups yesterday. Oh, and I had a coffee with half and half yesterday afternoon.
Saturday, I didn’t eat a substantial for dinner, then went to the bar after work and had a couple of drinks, which resulted in a late night trip to the diner for an omelet and home fries. I only ate half, but still. So unnecessary!
I just ate a cupcake that one of my students. brought in for his b-day. I actually just ate the top half with the icing and threw away the bottom. I love icing! I feel terrible though now knowing I should really be watching it this week in anticipation of Thanksgiving Day. Whats done is done though and I just need to work out tonight and make sensible decisions for the rest of the day.
I had fast food also…. I convinced myself to grab some taco bell. And you know, it really wasn’t good! The diet soda was too sweet and gassy tasting and the flour tortilla was too soft. After I ate half I ealized that my veggie sandwiches are WAY better than that crap!
So, something positive came from my splurge!
Over the weekend I bought 2 bags of candy. Christmas hershey’s kisses and pb cups. I really don’t know what made me do it. And I was so proud of getting the halloween candy out of the house early this year!
I routinely eat. cake, chocolate, and chips. And I didn’t exercise at all this weekend.
And I don’t feel guilty about any of it either. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
I wont work out this week probably…. my gym is closed for the holiday and the weather is just so damn frigid, im pretty sure I wont go out running because of that. Maybe i’ll go for a couple walks and get in some sneaky exercise but im not that concerned about it. im bad.
i had an extra bowl of lentil stew instead.
i didn’t do well today with breakfast, however! it’s 11 AM & i haven’t eaten yet… but i have the oatmeal ready for me in the fridge.
— a confession??
i cooked like 8 cups of beans yesterday to use for the rest of the week… and I FORGOT THEM SITTING OUT ALL NIGHT & THEY SPOILED.
i cursed. i cried. i was devastated.
tomorrow is my birthday, and those were all the beans i had for the rest of the month. all the beans ever. (i have lots of lentils, but these were special beautiful red beans… way more expensive)
… :’(
whaaaaaaatever. now i am just… depressed. i spent a long time in the kitchen protecting them from being eaten by other people — just to hoard them in my room — to waste them.
…………………………..
Happy early B-day!! §.
thank you!
§.
would someone buy you some more. for your birthday? I’m curious what kind of red beans they were, since most are so inexpensive.
lolz -10 for spoiled beans, indeed!. i… could buy beans for my birthday, but i am going to buy a papaya.
to fully answer your question, though, no — there’s typically no one here who buys me food. (i use around $120 a month for food for myself & my boyfriend…)
they were beautiful red beans that weren’t terribly expensive, but … were essentially priceless to me. they had been sitting on my dresser for a while, i soaked them — and… then let them die.
i am not sure who has a negative opinion of me, (ty 4 the negz) but… i am sorry if i have caused you… discomfort etc.
i am close to crying — so no annoying exclamation marks here.
i only ever posted here because i wanted friends, as has been said, and… i am not anorexic, i wanted to eat the most lentils & be the nicest girl, but i failed with a few comments on 1 day – i was being bitter & inconsiderate, and I didn’t feel like elaborating.
to be truthful, that comment about meth/adderal stemmed from frustration about substance abuse problems people close to me are having.
and the previous comments about wanting to puke my tea etc — stemmed from that as well.
i am… a negative person at times, i… need to be better for the lord & myself.
confessions, confessions.
Popcorn…. … would be fine on it’s own, but smothered in olive oil and “buttery” becel… not so much.
Sigh.
for me…. It tends to be drinks–probably because my inhibitions are lowered after my “intended” serving.
