LOL, lucylee!
I like the idea of "dissecting" what was right or wrong with the day like Indiana did.
... ... (mine were pretty good - thinking of things to sub for the Pepsi and chips moment! Not doing me any favors.
the Smart Ones quesadilla was recommended by Women's World mag as a healthy choice, 2 servings per box.)
How many days shall we decide makes a post? 2 seems about post-length to me.

bowl of soup

chocolate kiss

Wednesday - I'm getting there. I didn't have my morning or evening snack. I need to make sure to get fruits and vegetables.

Harriet you are making me hungry for egg salad and 7 layer salad.

I should be getting between 1600 and 2000 calories a day. I only got 1400 calories in yesterday and I was short the food groups I listed.

lucylee you should post anyway - the good - bad and the ugly. If it is written down it may help you the next time and to see a pattern on the type of foods you crave on a bad day.

Thursday - Harriet I put lots of celery, onion and dill pickles in my tuna. I'm going backward instead of forward.

[Harriet]

Meant to post last evening - sorry. Indiana, I plan on starting tuna salad at lunchtime today. When I make egg salad, I make enough to last several days and so it would seem I am in a rut. But actually, it is hands down my favorite. What are you meaning by short day? That you were short on something?

Wednesday eating:
Pint water
small apple and Slim Fast
Pint water
Egg salad half-sandwich with cup of milk
Pint water
second quesidilla, 220 calories
tossed salad (1.5 cups, maybe)
slice of cardboard pizza with dd
small Pepsi
scalloped potatoes with dh

Too many starches at end of day so this morning I have water retention. Would have been as well off with the chips, maybe better if I could have stopped quickly. Still the evening Pepsi calls me.

Thursday eating:
Pint water
small apple
Pint water
Tuna salad with lots of celery; Slim Fast
Pint water
Small serving spaghetti one meatball
2 slices Texas Garlic Toast with butter (here's where the plan falls apart)
small Pepsi
tossed salad
Little Debbie snack

I missed my usual cup of skim milk early. Dh drew me in to his delicious bread at supper, which smelled so good - before I knew it I'd eaten a second slice of the bread and one of his desserts!!! That's what happens!!!

Wednesday --
too ridiculous to talk about. Let's just say it started w/a chocolate Santa Claus and ended w/benneitts... I know that's not spelled right, but spell check won't help me -- the powdered sugar donuts type things you get in New Orleans, or in my case, local Cajun restaurant.

1/2 banana
quarter pounder with cheese and large french fry (1,000 calories)

short 2 fruit, 5 vegetable, over by 3 on fat for the day. Fine on calories for the day - go figure with a 1,000 lunch. I was still full from lunch so had a large apple and milk between dinner time and snack time. I'm getting V8 at the store so I can get my vegetables.

Saturday 12/13
