Ok, my weight loss blog has been sorely neglected. Well, honestly, ALL of my blogs have been woefully neglected of late, but I'm hopeful that that will change now. My household has changed again, and I'm no longer having suit anyone else's wants/needs when it comes to food preparation and grocery shopping. I've got a good bit of my dinners this week planned. Tonite I had a nice chicken breast baked with some bread crumbs and a little parmesan cheese on top of a small portion of angel hair pasta with herb sauce, and a nice little side salad with a wee bit of bleu cheese dressing. Tomorrow I'll probably have a kosher dog, a salad, and maybe some peas. Wednesday is Genghis Grill. Thursday is the spaghetti with the sauce I made tonite when I already had the kitchen heated up for the chicken. Friday I'm still undecided on, but I'll figure it out before then.
I'm so happy that I can keep fresh fruit and veggies in the house again, and I can shop in small enough quantities to keep me fed, but not so much that they will go bad before I can eat them all.

Food Diary day 2
I did pretty well today, though I've discovered that it's probably in my best interest to actually crawl out of bed a few minutes earlier in the morning so I can get everything done that I need to before I leave.
Breakfast: 16 oz chai tea skinny vanilla on the way to work, protein shake: 5 oz. lowfat vanilla yogurt, 3 oz milk, 1 scoop protein powder, ½ C each cherries & pineapple, 1 egg. I did find that the yogurt and the egg make a huge difference in helping to keep me feeling full. Yesterday, I finished my shake about 8:30, and by 11 I was pretty hungry. Today I finished it by 7:45, and when I had a handful of nuts around 10:45 I just beginning to feel a few hunger pangs.
Lunch: 4 oz grilled chicken, 2/3 C of brown rice, and about 1 C green beans with about ½ T margarine, ~16 oz chai tea skinny vanilla
Afternoon snack: another handful of nuts, and a handful of sweet-tart like candies
Dinner: turkey burger with about 2 oz cheddar cheese, on an Orowheat flatbread sandwich roll (honey wheat), some Ketchup, and about 3 oz olive oil & rosemary oven fries, ~16 oz green chai tea skinny vanilla.
I did get a bit of a headache this morning, which I attribute to the reduced caffeine intake, but I've not had any Dr Pepper in over 24 hours. The tea has no calories, and the skinny vanilla creamer has 30 calories per Tablespoon, and I use less than 2 per 16 oz serving of tea. I'm getting a little less caffeine than I'm used to, but I've cut my calories from caffeinated beverages by more than 50%, and from my past experiences with giving up Dr Pepper, I will get through the caffeine withdrawals soon enough.
