01.27.09 Dinner

It has been an unusually quiet night at work. I watched those 5 Gordon Ramsay cooking videos that I downloaded: Baked Porkchops with a Piquant Sauce, Linguine with Tomatoes, Olives and Capers, Mussels in an Aromatic Coconut Broth, Pappardelle, Smoked Trout and Tomates, and Sticky Lemon Chicken. I liked the recipes for the Baked Porkchops and Sticky Lemon Chicken the most.

I checked my email and had a bunch and some requests from Facebook so I spent awhile on there. Later my friend at work sent me a link so I could watch Kung Pow: Enter the Fist on Hulu. Steve O always cracks me up!

I had an ounce of Cocoa Roast Almonds for my snack.

Around 3am I had dinner...made myself two pitas each with 1 Tbsp Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, 3oz Perdue Roasted Chicken Breast Strips, 1/8 cup Kraft 2% Italian cheese, and 1.5 cups of spinach. Also had a Dannon Light & Fit with an ounce of Blueberries and a glass of Calorie Countdown.

Leaving work soon and going to bed in a couple hours! :)

01.27.09 Lunch

It's been a typical night at work so far, automated server alerts and such. 

I think the main reason it is so quiet is that 3M China employees are celebrating the Chinese New Year...I have some friends in 3M China IT and I hope they are having a great time.

Got my flog updated and got up to date on the other ones that I follow. Downloaded some Gordon Ramsay videos of him cooking dishes in his new book Ramsay's Healthy Appetite. I'll watch those later.

Well, I had lunch around 10pm. Amy's Mild Chili, 15 crushed Kashi 7 Grain Crackers and a glass of water.

I'll be checking back in later for dinner.

01.27.09 Breakfast

I got in 8 hours of sleep...6:30am - 2:30pm. Woke up and showered...got ready for work. 

The real estate guy we are working with to sell the old place came over and had some papers for us to sign. Everything seems to be going very well with that.

He left and before I left for work Angie had nutritional questions for me that I answered for her. Ang has about 15lbs to lose to be at a healthy weight. 

I told her the estimated range of calories she should eat and approximately how many grams protein, fat and carbs she should be getting within those calories. She bought a little food log book and she is going to start keeping track. 

Today she realized that one Sirloin burger has 330 cal, 23g fat, and 30g protein and one Turkey burger has 200 cal, 5g fat, and 35g protein. That's a huge step in the right direction...she is going to try eating leaner meats and eating more soup:)

On my way to work I stopped at Cub Foods and picked up some more Joseph's Pitas, Kashi 7 Grain Crackers, Organic Baby Spinach, Lettuce, Blueberris and a Fuze Slenderize Empower Pomegranate Acai Berry Drink.

Got to work and made myself a bowl of cinnamon oatmeal and drank my cold Fuze.

01.26.09 Dinner

Dealt with some more alerts, surfed the web, checked out Sunday ads and read the flogs I've missed reading the last five days. 

My stomach started growling so I made myself two pitas around 1am...each with 2 slices Hormel Natural Turkey Breast, 1 Tbsp Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, 1/8 cup Kraft 2% Italian Cheese and 1.5 cups of Spinach.

Later on around 4:30am I got hungry again so I ate a bowl of Muir Glen Chicken & Wild Rice Soup...that sure hit the spot!

I'll be leaving work around 6am and heading home to get to bed - YAY!

01.26.09 Lunch

It's been a typical Monday night at work...sure is cold here. I had mainly automated server alerts to check on and deal with. I went and made myself a bowl of cinnamon oatmeal at 10pm and had a glass of water with it...made me feel nice & toasty!
