Friday

Actually wanted something for breakfast today, so went to Jewel to pick stuff up.



See, I still remember what "healthy" food is.

Then....
At work we are nearing the END of the chips in the snack drawer, so at some point in the day I had the LAST 2 bags
 

So hopefully whoever's turn it is to stock the drawer this time, will NOT get tempting chips.

Every Friday we go out to lunch.   Today we chose Lalo's BUFFET.
 Some chips and salsa to start.
 Veggie Quesadilla, jalapeno poppers, beans and rice and some corn chip and cheese dish.

 2nd verses almost same as first.

 I HAD to have some of these :-)

Since that was such a huge lunch, I did not eat anything for dinner, but I did help Deb with some dessert.   Apple crisp from VTG.

Wednesday and Thursday

Wednesday the snack drawer provided breakfast.



I needed a mid morning snack, so I hit the vending machine (at least these are "healthy")



I made a HUGE salad for lunch, I only had 15 minutes to eat, so I forgot to take a picture, but I did remember to take a picture of my drink.


Surprisingly this is NOT from snack drawer, it was part of my home "dinner"


Here is the other half of dinner.  The lunch salad kept me full all day


BEING BAD!!!!
Thursday I woke up CRAVING doughnuts!!!!
So I caved, and went to 7-11 and got 2 glazed old fashioned and some milk.





For lunch I brought in pizza from Frato's, needed some crunch to go with it.
Snack drawer for these odd chips.


Just took a pic of the last piece of pizza.


Washed it down with some Iced Tea.  That seemed sweeter than the sweet tea the day before.


Got busy doing stuff after work and forgot to eat dinner.  Now that it is 10 PM, I decided that it is not worth eating this late.

Weigh in (with surprising results) and Monday night and Tuesday food

After I blogged yesterday, I go hungry.   I wanted pizza.  So I went to Frato's to get a slice.  But it was late and they did not have any without meat.  So I decided to order a big pizza so that I had lunches for the week. So I ordered a large
   Vegetarian Goat
Fresh & Healthy Spinach, Onion, Tomato, Mushroom & Garlic with the Chef's Special Blend of Mozzarella & Goat Cheese.


I ate 1 row, and split the rest into 3 containers, for 3 lunches.

So as I mentioned Sunday and Monday my stomach hurt, so I did not eat much.
But I was surprised when the number on the scale read

248.6.   I could not believe I was below 250.  I hope this will inspire me to finally go back to eating better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuesday I brought in pizza for lunch


Had to have dessert.  (this bag had 5 or 6 mini cookies in it, so not much of a snack)

We had to take the kitties to the vet for shots and Stryker had an issue (now taken care of)

So Deb and I stopped at Taco Bell on way home
I had Cheese Quesadilla and 2 Bean Burritos.

Thursday - Monday

Sorry for the delay.  Thursday would have been my Mother's birthday, so it was a ROUGH day.  Friday after work I drove down to Peoria for the Illinois State South bowling tournament.  Got back early afternoon on Sunday and had Reese and Zoe over to play with Ace and Stryker.   Today I was not feeling well, so I stayed home from work to get some extra rest.

Thursday for lunch I went to PotBellys.
 I had the mediterranean sub, with cheetos, a Dr Pepper and a chocolate cookie.  (BAD ME) 





Thursday night to "celebrate" my Mom's birthday I went to Red Lobster with Traycie and Sister Deb.  Red Lobster was my Mom's favorite.

I had 3 biscuits.  (too good to have 1 or 2)


Caesar's salad


Sweet Potato and Pecan side dish (really good)


Had to have a drink, so ordered a Pina Colada.


We ordered 2 desserts, which I had a few bites of.




Friday, back at work.
Had a sweet craving in the morning


For lunch we went to Jelly Cafe.  I was craving breakfast.  Had a veggie skillet with pancakes.




Friday for dinner, Deb and I went to Punch Bowl Social.  Nice eclectic place, but EXPENSIVE.
I ordered a drink.  El Numero 6

It was good, but strange.

For dinner I ordered Cauliflower Nachos.  It came with a biscuit.






Deb ordered Chicken and Waffles, she liked it alot.



Friday night I drove down to Peoria.  When I stopped for gas I grabbed a different Pepsi.  I had seen advertisements for them in Arizona.
It was not so good.  Kind of tasted like a slightly flat real Pepsi.


Saturday we bowled at 9 am, so I did not have time for breakfast.  After bowling we went to a sports bar.  I started with a beer, then had a mushroom and onion pizza. And stole a few onion rings.







During the 2nd round of bowling, I did get a LARGE Dr Pepper (for hydration and caffeine)
iPhone 6PLUS to show LARGE

That was all I ate that day.  My tummy was kind of upset.

Sunday morning we played golf at 8:30, I got up and went to a place for breakfast.
Got a veggie omelet.
 

Sunday night Traycie and Jason brought Reese and Zoe over to see the Kittens.
She brought Boston Market.  I had corn, sweet Potatoes, and creamed spinach.  (oh and a brownie)




I was SO exhausted from the weekend that I fell asleep before 10.  This morning when I woke up, I still felt bad, so I stayed home from work.   I have not eaten anything today, since my stomach is still making rumbling noises.

I will weigh in tomorrow.

Tuesday and Wednesday

Tuesday I started with a McDonalds craving, so stopped for 2 egg mcmuffin (no bacon)


Lunch I made a BIG salad with olives, peppers, mushrooms, and crushed up Pretzels.


That almost kept me full, but around 6ish I decided to reheat the last of the Lous pizza.  This time I microwaved it.  (mistake, but did not want to wait 35 minutes)


Wednesday seemed to be a day of consistent munching.
Got in to work early so grabbed a strawberry yogurt parfait.


We have NEW additions to the snack drawer (much healthier)
Grabbed this dark chocolate treat.


Needed some crunch, found something labeled CRUNCHY


Deb and I are planning a party (details soon)
So we had free lunch from the place.

Ordred a portobello mushroom and veggie sandwich with fries.




At the office they had little cups of snacks (pretzels) for earth day


Then I had CHEEZY POOFS


Deb and I were sitting around playing with kittens and I realized I was hungry, so I went to Taco Bell
