You know, I've heard of carob but haven't tried it. I will look that up on Amazon and see what I can find. I'd like to add it to my smoothies. I ordered some natural orange extract so I can make an orange cream smoothie, but would love something like a chocolate peanut butter smoothie! MMMM. Your numbers look awesome!0

Well, today wasn't quite as good. I had a half egg and one egg white. The egg always makes my numbers look bad, plus there was a little real butter in my mashed potatoes and in the chicken and noodles.
Lunch:
1/2 egg and 1 egg white, 1.3 oz home-made turkey sausage, 1 slice toast, 1/2 oz pretzels
Dinner:
1/3 cup mashed potatoes, 2/3 cup egg noodles with 2 oz chicken and homemade cream of chicken soup, salad with homemade french dressing.
Snacks:
chocolate almonds, 3 Hershey hugs, string cheese

Well, I wound up a bit lower in Calories and Sat fats. I didn't eat my string cheese.0

4,900 steps today - shut off my 6,000 step goal. Not great eating...0
-
I have no idea how many steps I have walked today, I forgot to put my watch on after recharging it last night until I sat down here at the computer. I will guess at how many I had. I haven't reached my 2,000 step goal the last two days. My legs were too sore to do all of my house laps yesterday, so I know that is why I missed, but I did get around 1800 steps, still quite a few more than what I would have normally gotten.
On track eating-wise.0 -
Well - I stayed in my 8 hour time frame for eating and I didn't cheat the entire day, just dinner. But, I was over in everything thanks to Mexican...but it was good. I was realistic and didn't eat the chips
, and didn't over-eat. 0 -
More than 9,000 steps yesterday. Went for a 4 1/2 mile walk with a friend late morning yesterday.
My eating habits have gotten away from me lately. Today I put a stop to that.0 -
Wow, that is a very long walk! I'm happy to make it to the end of the yard and back! LOL! We had rain this morning, so I won't get those steps in watering the flowers!
I lost two pounds, so happy about that. Hope they stay off. Staying on plan!0 -
Lunch: taco salad with a half oz. pretzels.
Dinner was left-over chicken and noodles with some pan-seared chicken breast and a salad with home-made french dressing.
Snacks: almonds and 3 hershey hugs
The numbers weren't bad, but the protein was a bit high with all of the chicken.
I haven't gotten a walk in today, but there isn't a reason. I think I will go do that now. It is a beautiful day.

I did 12.5 laps yesterday to up my step number. I was getting to seven and my thighs were really hurting. Wade subtly suggested I change my footwear and it made all the difference in the world. I hadn't been able to wear anything but my sandals for awhile, so was very happy when my sneakers fit! I was over 2,000 steps yesterday! Yippee!
Down to 236.2 this morning.1 -
Lunch: 2oz taco meat with tomatoes and 0.8oz pretzels
Dinner: 3oz roasted pork loin, 1 small potato and 2/3 cup carrots
Snacks: 1oz cinnamon almonds, Yoplait light yogurt, 3 Hershey hugs
Calories were a bit low. And, I didn't add in the little bit of salt that I used, so don't look closely at the sodium numbers. I cook without any salt, and only use no salt ingredients, so the numbers are very low.
I did take a short walk, but it was HOT.

I moved around a lot yesterday, mostly cooking early in the day. Never really day down until 9pm.
Coffee for breakfast. A slider hamburger, a barbecue chicken leg, baked beans and watermelon for lunch.
Chips and dip for a snack and 1/2 a Klondike bar for dessert.
No real dinner. Too busy playing with my granddaughters on the new swing my husband put up (I'll post a picture later) and cleaning up the mess that 11 people can make.0 -
I stayed on my eating plan and did a little bit of walking.0

On plan so far and will attempt to walk this afternoon!0

I went to my exercise class last night - 1 hour of stretching and low impact exercise.
Today so far I've had 3 cups of coffee (half caff), old fashioned oatmeal with 1/4 wild black raspberries and a lemon yogurt. I really need to work on my water intake.0 -

Outdoor walk this morning before the heat of the day.0 -
Today, I missed my walk. It has been a busy day and about the time it slowed down, it started pouring rain. I could use the dreaded treadmill, but I hate that thing! It is so boring.
lunch: 1 slice wheat bread, 1 slice colby jack cheese, 1oz pretzels
dinner: chicken fajitas (home-made no salt) with onions and peppers, 1/4 cup chili beans, 1oz pretzels, 1 Tbs sour cream.

All in all, not a bad day.0 -
Missed my walk yesterday. If this fatigue from my migraine meds doesn't lift I'll miss it today as well. I tried to lie down again but my brain wouldn't turn off so I am on the computer and struggling to type - my fingers don't want to work right! LOL! Will stay on plan.0

2 half caff coffees and yogurt at 10am
Penne pasta with meat sauce and peas for dinner.
No snacks.0 -
Today we had our cheat day. I wasn't too bad. We got take out from Cheddar's so was able to keep it fairly healthy. Grilled chicken on rice, green beans, broccoli and (CHEAT) a honey butter croissant! Anyway, I cut the almonds out of my evening snack and it almost paid for the croissant in calories.

Thinking more about keeping my fats and my carbs separated. Lunch today is an E smoothie with cranberry juice, berries and okra in it, as well as my protein powder and my tummy and fruit and veggie powder supplement. I use Amare GBX superfood powder and they even had that in their food list!0
-
Okay, I'm going to try using the tracker today and see how that works out. I wish I could start my list here and come back to edit it later in the day. I'll have to think about coming to this thread in the evening to do it all at once.0

Cindy - That's why I like using a tracker. It lets me know as I go.
Well - I totally blew the carbs today. I had a large baked potato with meatloaf, salad and green beans for dinner - and there they went.

So far, that's one thing I like better on SP. Their tracker let me know as I tracked through the day also, so those are similar. (Although there I was able to add different meals to the day like snack or brunch, and I can't find that option here - just breakfast, lunch, dinner).
But if I wanted to update or edit a post I'd already written, I could do that for more than an hour.0 -
Cindy - you can see your nutrients throughout the day when you go into diary (phone, tablet, etc). At the bottom there is a tab that says nutrition. It shows everything. On the computer, the nutrients show at the bottom. I never added a separate meal on SP, so that didn't make a difference to me. If I have something special I want to add, I just add it under breakfast. I like the way that you can save meals. Since there are a lot of times that I eat the same thing for lunch, etc. Also, their recipe section is much easier for me to use than sparkpeople's so that I can put in the stuff that I make for Bill. They have almost all of the brands of stuff that I use.
The only being able to edit during a one hour time frame is a pain, though.0 -
Cindy, my food tracker shows Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks. Hmmm?
I got my steps in yesterday (2000+) and did my walk, 1000 steps, 10 minutes. Stayed on plan.0 -
Lunch: 1 slice wheat bread, one slice American cheese, 1oz pretzels
Dinner: 2 egg whites, 1 egg, 3.7oz homemade turkey sausage, large serving hash browns (no fats used), 1 slice toast
Snacks: 1 string cheese, 4 Hershey Hugs
Well, I knew I was going to go over in the cholesterol, but that 1 egg always does it. I wanted to fix breakfast tonight and without fixing two separate pans of eggs, this is the easiest way for me to do it. I did get my walk, though. I thought it was going to rain all day, but it cleared to a beautiful afternoon.
