Chuck made dinner tonight. Hamburger helper. I haven't had it in a while and it was really good. Then it was straight to working on homework. Some days I really question my intelligence.
Food Log
2/15/10 - monday
I found a few new breakfast bars I am trying out. They are Newton's Fruit Crisps. They remind me of a mix between fig newtons and pop tarts. I happen to like them. You get two small bars in the package and it's 100 calories. I got the mixed berry flavor, but I also saw an apple one.
I tried a new WW Smart Ones meal today. Swedish Meatballs. I really liked it. I was glad this version on this dish didn't have mushrooms in it.
I brought an apple and carrots to class and ate them both on the bus ride on the way home.
When I got home I decided to have some leftover tortellini. There wasn't a ton left over since I gorged myself on it the day before, but it was a nice sized serving for an 8:30 dinner.
I spent the next hour putting away clothes and changing the sheets on the bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out!
2/14/10 - sunday
After all the crappy eating and drinking this weekend, I hadn't gained weight. I was very happy. I guess eating well during the week pays off.
I spent the entire day studying (what a romantic way to spend Valentine's day) and at 2 realized I should eat. I had a ton of tortellinis for lunch. Then about 8, I figured I should eat again and had some ice cream and blueberries. Not the best dinner, but I was very happy!

We had two broomball games. We won our city championship. It was lots of fun. (Don't tell anyone I said that.) I might not have thought it was so much fun had we lost, though. :)
We got Bruegger's before the game and for dinner we went to Fuddrucker's. Both we delicious! Then we went to a friend's house to celebrate our win and I had a couple beers and snacks. It was lots of fun.
2/12/10 - friday
Friday we went to dinner with our neighbor friends at Old Chicago. Had a tasty dinner, some drinks and then went bowling. A good time was had by all! I didn't eat terribly poorly, I just had a lot to drink.
Hey, it was a stressful week. Don't judge me! :)
2/10/10 - wednesday
I made sure I ate a little something for breakfast (100 cal. pretzel goldfish crackers)...not the healthiest choice, but I really wanted the salt fix.
I ate some mini veggie pizzas for lunch. They were delicious. Then headed to my exam with my apple. I only ate about 1/2 of it, though.
Tonight we had some 4 cheese raviolis and Chuck added frozen meatballs to it. It was tasty. I am learning to really love raviolis!
2/11/10 - thursday
Today I had my final exam for calc. I ate breakfast, had veggie mini pizzas for lunch and then brought apples with me to eat on my way there.
I was so happy to be done with this exam. I just hope I pass! I DO NOT want to take this class again!
2/9/10 - tuesday
I've been bad the last couple days and over the weekend about drinking water. I just haven't had enough of it. So I am trying to get myself back on track today.
I ate a couple candy hearts my coworker had at her desk. I both loved and hated her for having them!
2/8/10 - monday
I picked up some lunches and apples for the week at the store this morning. I also grabbed a couple 100 calorie snacks to keep on hand and to bring to class. I'm hoping I don't eat them all before Friday! :)
I am making a concerted effort to use my key card at work less. This means a little bit more walking each day. If I am in a huge hurry, I will use it, but for the most part, walking a little more each day never hurts.
I also keep meaning to wear a pedometer one day to see how much I am walking. I would be really curious to see what it tells me. I don't know if I would be shocked at the number because it was more or less than I think. :)
Chuck and I ate at Chipotle tonight. It was delicious! We haven't been there in a long time. I made sure I didn't eat all of my meal. and only had a few chips. I did add corn to my burrito this time. It was wonderful! My burrito reminded me a lot of the corn and bean salsa I made.
2/7/10 - sunday
Chuck had more hockey today (turned out to be 2 more hockey games today). They were tired because they only had 3 players the first game and 4 for the second. They ended up getting 2nd place!
On his way home, he picked up some Culver's. I should have told him to get me some. Instead I had a 200 calorie pizza. I was still hungry after that since I (stupidly) didn't eat breakfast. So I had some no-sugar ice cream I found in the freezer and added some frozen blueberries to it. It hit the spot.
Then I went back to studying. I stopped just after the Superbowl started. At half time, I discovered I had everything we needed for tacos. So I proceeded to gorge myself on those! It was fantastic! I was glad I didn't eat more at lunch or I would have felt bad for eating so much for dinner. Turned out I was just fine after crunching the numbers! I was pleasantly surprised.
