Day 24

Today started out good. But, the rest of the day, not so good. I don't even want to know what kind of damage I did, so I am not blogging my food. I wish I would quit sabotaging my weight loss with days like this. Three steps forward and one step back it seems. I guess that is how we learn. I DO think I've figured out a good balance for me with eating. I am working on putting a plan in place.

Day 21

Tomorrow is weigh-in day!

BREAKFAST
I don't usually have ice cream for breakfast. BUT, after I dropped the girls off at school I stopped at a health food store to buy some sesame seeds (for my afternoon salad). I've been wanting to try one of the Rice Dream Pie's for awhile now, so when I saw they sold them, I had to scoop one up! Lucky for me I hadn't had breakfast yet, so this yummy thing became my breakfast. Let me just say, if I had known vegan ice cream would be this good, I would have made the switch a LONG time ago. This was to die for! I'll give you the description on the package, "Chocolate Rice Dream with 2 oatmeal cookies dipped in chocolate". They only had two pies left in stock, so they are ordering me a case, just so I have a stash of them in my freezer at home. I'll make sure to save some calories a couple times a week for one of these babies! Delicious, and like nothing I've had before! You want one now, don't you?!

Day 20

BREAKFAST
Green Smoothie (190 cal)
1 TB Hemp Seeds (30 cal)
Total calories = 220

SNACK
1 Tall Skinny Vanilla Latte (90 cal)
Total calories = 90

LUNCH
1 Cucumber and 1 Tomato sliced
with a little salt & pepper,
and a drizzle of balsamic dressing
& two scoops of my raw "brownie" batter

Total calories = 280

DINNER
MorningStar Veggie Burger (120 cal)
4 TB organic salsa (20 cal)
3 TB fat free sour cream (45 cal)

Dessert was a Banana Split. To make the "ice cream" I took 2 frozen bananas and put them in a food processor for a few minutes. This is yummy! You can add a little vanilla, or if you are a chocolate person like me, add a tsp of cocoa powder. Then put some of the "ice cream" in a bowl. Place some fresh banana slices around it. For the chocolate fudge topping, mix the following in a bowl: 3TB honey, 3 TB olive oil, 2 TB cocoa, and a pinch of salt. This is a little sweet to eat alone, but is oh, so scrumptious drizzled over the banana mixture! This makes 2 servings, so I shared with Ava. She loved it! Sophie didn't want any, because she just had yogurt ice cream. Another tip, put Yoplait Whipped Yogurts in the freezer. Sophie loves them frozen!

Day 14

Well...I think I'm going to put this on hold for awhile. I keep track of all my calories on the GoWear Fit website, and it's just kind of a pain to update both places. I download my GoWear Fit band to that website daily to keep track of my calories burned. Then I enter everything I eat so I can see what my calorie defecit is each day. So I'm sticking to that website. If I start to fall off the wagon or slack with my calorie logging, I will start doing it here again. I WILL be following all my favorite blogs still! And I will probably post about my progress here and there, just not every day. :-)
