The Weekend
Welcome to eFAT-Blog. This is a site where you can find the journey of an American suburban working mother of 5 children's journey to a healthy lifestyle.
Daily I will detail my emotions, food, activity and the like in the neverending battle of the bulge.
Come take the journey along with me.
Food:
Saturday:
B -- Made mamacasz breakfast sandwiches for everyone: Sourdough english muffin, fresh baby spinach, 1 oz. shredded pepper jack cheese, egg cooked with olive oil spray over medium. I guesstimate this concoction at: (75/5, 21/1, 155/1, 106/2.5); grapefruit juice (94/0); coffee w/ splenda (30/0) Total: 451/9.5
Took Peanut to get her hair cut and do a little school-clothes shopping. JCPenney had a killer sale -- 75 percent off of already marked down merchandise. We also went to the St. Vincent de Paul thirft store. For about $20 bucks at both places she got: a jean skirt, 5 shirts, underwear, socks, three pairs of pants, poncho, hat, two long-sleeve shirts. We stopped and got a coffee (Starbucks double tall nonfat cafe mocha) (94/0) and nibbled a bit off Peanut's donut she had (?/?).
Between the mall and the thirft store we got a pretzel and sugar-free lemonade. (?/?; 94/0). I was feeling really happy to be spending some one-on-one time with Peanut. I really couldn't afford to spend the money, but did anyhow.
Lunch: My honey made me a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with low-fat provolone cheese, lettuce, light mayo and mustard. 140/2; 100/4.5; 9/0; 115/1; 30/.5; 15/0. Total: 409/8. diet mountain dew (0/0) and water (0/0)
Dinner: green salad w/ lt. blue cheese dressing (120/2.5); whole wheat spaghetti made with Morning Star Farms grillers and garlic/tomato sauce (300/5.5); water and red wine. (72/0) Total: (492/8)
Evening snack: nonfat cafe latte. (100/0)
Total for day -- except for hot pretzel (i can't find the nutrition facts on it anywhere right now): 1640/25.5. So, a bit high on my calories -- need to stick behind 1500 a day to lose weight.
After dinner I went on a walk with my neighbor Nadida. We strolled and chatted for about :45. It wasn't cardio, but it was activity.
Mood: A giant sigh of relief took over me this weekend. Tiger has a job and we're well on our way to normalcy after out relocation from Michigan to Washington. Also, my back was acting up. Tiger and I watched a movie in bed (V for Vendetta; I liked it). As we were turning off the lights I started to get cluster headache pains in my head. My back was spasming. He massaged and losened things up enough for us to go to sleep.
Sunday a.m. I awoke with no more cluster pains in my head, but a dull ache. I took a muscle relaxor (Flexeril, 10 mg) and some aspirin. I made breakfast for everyone.
B: scrambled egg(s) made with olive oil spray (75/5); biscuits (95/3) and sausage gravy (homemade with reduced-fat turkey sausage and skim milk (250/11). coffee with splenda (30/0) Total: 450/19
With the medications I took this a.m. I got really sleepy. I made the kids lunch and then had to lay down. So I didn't eat lunch. I slept for two hours. Completely crashed.
MAS: diet dew; popsicle (0/0; 30/0)
Dinner: Roast turkey breast (46/1); mashed potatoes made with margarine and skim milk (119/2.5); turkey gravy (reduced fat from a package -- 120/3.5); warm spinach salad w/ mushrooms and onions (21/1; 46/0; 21/1). Drank water. (373/9.0)
I've spent the entire day today (Sunday) with the Tens unit on my back.
Activity: laundry, up and down the stairs; just hurting with my back. /sigh.
Mood: cranky because of the pain and because our 5 children all think that Tiger and I are old and dumb.
Daily I will detail my emotions, food, activity and the like in the neverending battle of the bulge.
Come take the journey along with me.
