01.30.09 Breakfast at Jamba Juice

I got in 9 hours of sleep...2:30am - 11:30am. Woke up and got dressed and headed out to do some grocery shopping.

First stop was Jamba Juice since I had a cup for a buck coupon for their oatmeal. 

I got the Blueberry & Blackberry Organic Steel Cut Oats and a Jamba Light Berry Fulfilling. (450 cal, 4g fat, 10g fiber, 15g protein) So delicious! I would definitely go there again!!!

I ate my breakfast and headed to Whole Foods since I had a coupon for $5 off $30:) 

Items I bought were: 3 Avocados (99 cents each), Kashi Summer Berry Granola ($1 off), Bear Naked Fit Triple Berry Crunch Granola, Liquid Smoke, 365 Peanut Sauce, Unsweetened Almond Breeze, Iodized Sea Salt, Chobani 0% Greek Yogurt, Friendship No Salt Added Cottage Cheese (60 cents off), 4 Larabars I haven't tried (Cinnamon Roll, Ginger Snap, Coconut Cream Pie, and Banana Bread, also there were coupons on each of them for 40 cents off), and 2 Think Thin Bars in Crunchy Peanut Butter and Creamy Peanut Butter...total bill was $27:D

01.29.09 Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

I slept in Thursday morning and got 7 hours of sleep...6:00am - 1:00pm. After eating so many calories yesterday I surprisingly didn't gain any weight but didn't lose any either. 

For breakfast I made myself a Thomas English Muffin with Trader Joe's Unsalted Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jam.

Went to pickup Angie at Target around 1:30pm and drop her friend Abby off at home. Angie wasn't feeling well at all so I brought her home and she went to bed. Dave woke up not feeling well either so I made him a Thomas English Muffin with PB&J as well.

Left around 4:45pm, then got gas for $1.81/gal and picked up a Grape Powerade Zero and went to bring my timesheet over because I forgot to mail it. 

Returned some sweater tights at Sears cause they ended up not being long enough for me. 

Then I went to IKEA to return the over the couch arm remote organizer, a rod that mounted to the wall for hanging utensils, hooks for the rod and a steel magazine rack. I got store credit because we lost the recipt so I bought a floor lamp with a reading light for the bedroom and a baking pan with a rack. They were sampling Gille-Havre Biscuits so I had one.

Went shopping at Rainbow Foods and picked up the new South Beach FiberFit S'mores Bars...they are so good and contain no HFCS!

I had one...very hard to resist eating more than one!!!

For groceries I bought: Sugar Snap Peas, Mushrooms, Eggplant, Oranges, Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsa, Kashi Go Lean Strawberry Waffles, Dannon Light & Fit, Lean Turkey Ham, 4 packages of cheese at 99 cents a piece!, Maxwell House Coffee, Near East Mushroom Couscous, Low Sodium Pizza Sauce,  Arnold Sandwich Thins, Chicken Noodle and Tomato Soups, Vitamin C Tablets, Eggs, Diet Coke and the South Beach FiberFit S'mores Bars.

I came home and heated up some Chicken Noodle Soup for Dave and Angie. Whipped up a cup of Yogurt and Blueberries for each of them. Had a half cup of yogurt and blueberries myself. 

Later on I made myself a Kirkland Signature Turkey Burger with 1/3 cup cheese, raw onion, lettuce and some Steel's Gourmet Sugar Free Barbecue Sauce on an Arnold Sandwich Thin.

We watched the latest episode of Biggest Loser. Sad to see the orange team go, but you could tell the brown team wanted to be there more and the team members were appalled at what Daniel said about not really wanting to be there.

Then we watched the latest episode of CSI off our DVR.

It was definitely time for dinner after that...I made a turkey and veggie stirfry with peanut sauce. (cooked and broke up 4 Jenny-O Turkey Burgers, Steamed 8oz of Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Carrot Mix, 8oz Trader Joe's Pepper Mix and 8oz of Sugar Snap Peas, then added about 8 Tbsp Whole Foods 365 Peanut Sauce and walah...dinner was served.) Had some sugar free orange drink mix with 100% Vitamin C to drink with the meal.

01.28.09 Dinner

It was a pretty quiet night. I was looking for a healthy eggplant parmesan recipe since I have one from Trader Joe's. I came across a six episode series of funny cooking videos - http://www.proatcooking.com/ and a 1 minute eggplant parmesan Alton Brown video.

I've been listening to streaming radio on the net and dealing with automated server alert tickets and did server and app checks.

Got hungry around 3:30pm so I had some Select Harvest Italian-Style Vegetable Soup with 7 Kashi crackers which was 165 calories.

Later on I had an ounce of Cocoa Roast Almonds which was 150 calories and a cup of Hot Chocolate which was 25 calories.

That brings my total to 2,386 calories...we'll see what the scale says tomorrow. 

I'm leaving work in an hour, going to bed and will be enjoying the next four days off as I come back to work Monday morning!

01.28.09 Snack

Even after eating all of that at Old Country Buffet my stomach started growling around 10pm and I had a break to go down and get something at 10:30pm. 

I made myself a Thomas English Muffin with a Tbsp of Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter and Apricot Jam. Had a Dannon Light & Fit with an ounce of blueberries and a glass of Calorie Countdown. It was nice and filling...hope it will hold me over until at least 2am. Total: 336 calories, 12g fat, 10g fiber, 24g protein. Making my calorie total 2,046 now.

01.28.09 Brunch at Old Country Buffet

Got in 7 hours of sleep 6:30am - 1:30pm. Dave picked up Angie from work and came back home. I checked finances and paid the last of this month's bills.

Angie showed me her food log and did very well today. She's currently 5'1 and 145lbs. She has eaten 800 calories so far today and her meals looked pretty balanced. I edited my healthy food and snack grocery list and printed her off a copy so she has some ideas of what she can buy for lunch at Target.

Dave, Ang and I decided to go to Old Country Buffet for lunch. O_o We got there at 3:25pm in time to pay lunch price which is $25 for the three of us.

I started off with a Taco Salad. (Lettuce, 2oz Chicken Breast, 1/2 cup Pico De Gallo, and 1/8 cup Cheese) 200 cal

Second, I ate about 3oz fish and about a cup of green beans.  200 cal

Third, I ate about 6oz of the Sirloin Steak, used half the horsey sauce, half a Red Pepper, and two rounds of Zucchini. 500 cal

Fourth, I had a cup of cottage cheese with a Tbsp sunflower seeds, half cup of cantaloupe and a half cup of pineapple.  270 cal

Fifth, I had a cup of sugar free chocolate pudding with a piece of no sugar added chocolate mousse mixed in. 250 cal

Lastly, I had about a cup of fat free frozen yogurt with some apples mixed in. 200 cal

Old Country Buffet = approx 1,620 cal!!!

Later we went to Walgreens and I bought some Curel 24 hour Continuous Comfort fragrance free lotion, 1 pack of Sugar Free Marshmallow Peep Hearts and 3 Russell Stover Sugar Free Chocolate Marshmallow Hearts. Angie also bought some St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Lotion.

I ate one Sugar Free Marshmallow Peep Heart. 20 cal

Also had one Sugar Free Chocolate Marshmallow Heart. 70 cal

My BMR is 1,790 calories. My Daily caloric needs is 2,460 calories according to my activity level.

I have already eaten approx 1,710 calories! :(

So I shouldn't eat more than 750 calories the rest of the night...then I'll see what the scale says tomorrow.
