Food Diary, Jan 20

Breakfast: 1/2 Peanut Butter Sandwich +
Coffee=177 cals

Yesterday I ran out of whole wheat English Muffins and it's a hassle to toast it and put jelly on them at work.  Instead of going back to PBJ I'm going to do 1/2 Peanut Butter Sandwiches.  I'll be getting bread that is more fibrous then this so I can pack in some fiber at the same time. The PBJ is calling to me but with my coffee it's 290 calories in the morning and using up all those calories isn't worth it right now.  I'd rather save more calories for later in the day.

Lunch:  1/2 Cup Fiber 1=60 cals

The Fiber one is still doing the trick.  I didn't go yesterday but I went first thing this morning.  I'm actually afraid to go a day without eating it although I am thinking at some point I might go to every other day.  It's not making me feel as full as it was before but it's keeping me regular.

Lunch:  4 oz yogurt=112 cals

I mix some of the Fiber one into the yogurt and it makes for a great snack.  Lately I have been very hungry so I have to sit at work and just try to block out the hunger signals.  Every little thing I eat means less calories towards the end of the day and/or going way over my budget.



Snack:  About 11 RF Wheat Thins=89 cals

When I'm really hungry around 3 or 4pm I try to satisfy myself with some Wheat Thins.  As little as possible.  The full serving size is 130 but I always try to stay under.  If I still feel like I want to knaw off my left arm and eat it then I pop a piece of gum into my mouth and hold out.





Dinner: Twice Baked Potato + Corn=485 Cals

I made this awesome meal last night.  Hubby really, really liked it and it was so good.  There is extra potatoes on the side because after scooping out the insides, adding the lean ground beef and scallions then mixing it up I can't seem to stuff it all back inside.  To make them creamy I also use FF sour cream.  I was hungry last night!  After eating it I felt content but not full.  A nice break from the hunger.  I made four so I'll be eating another one for dinner tonight.

Dessert:  1/2 Cup Ice Cream=100 cals

Honestly I could have done without this dessert.  I was content after dinner but when hubby got some, we were watching Modern Family and of course I wanted some too.  I had already exceeded my calorie budget on a non gym day but I went for it anyways and hoped for the best.  Only 100 cals and at least I have no problem with sticking to the serving size.  I go upstairs and do sit ups and leg lifts.  I feel so anxious about that filling feeling in my belly.  Did I just ruin my progress by being a pig?  It's amazing how fast I blow through calories on what seems like so little.  I went over my budget but was not punished.  Phew!!
