Food Diary: February 15

For Breakfast, I had a 12 oz soy mocha with an extra shot


For Lunch..leftover salmon stir fry with a sparkling water

and 2 turtles

                                                                       

My Dinner














the Hubby and Son's dinner










For Dinner, the hubby and son had pot roast, rice and turnips and I had only turnips with chicken sausage.  I don't eat beef, but my hubby always rave about the pot roast so I'm sharing my recipe below.


For dessert, I had two (count 'em), two It's Is ice cream sandwiches.  This is why I'm 178 lbs.

Here are the ingredients for the pot roast:

I don't really do measurements.  I did use everything shown above based on my family's preference.  I added all the ingredients together except the pot roast first.  Then I place the pot roast in the crockpot and covered it with the mixture leaving all of the veggies at the bottom so they cook throughout.

You can slow cook it on low 8 -10 hours or on high 4 -6 hours.

Oh, and poke hole in the pot roast.

You can also add a little bit of red white or beer but not too much or it will get watery.  The gravy should be relatively thick without adding constarch.

If you really want a step by step recipe, send me a message :)

Honey O!

Food Diary: February 14

 I slept in on Monday...until about 11:30 so I ate leftovers with a sparkling water.

My snack since my hubby planned for a late dinner....

Yes, that's champagne...it's Valentine's Day :)


 and chocolate syrup

Hubby cooked dinner since it was Valentine's Day...
He was very tired especially after he had to wash the dishes before he could start cooking (I don't do dishes...it's in the prenup...teheehee)

My dinner...Salmon Stir Fry....with a turtle chaser.

My chocolate with nuts...a must on Valentine's Day

Food Diary: February 12 & 13

Okay, I've not be deliberate with my food choices this weekend.  Really, I've been lazy.  But in order to see the err of my ways, I must continue to post what I ate and drank everyday. 

I know I'm not the only one making poor food choices, but I plan to correct my behavior...what about you?

After my last post on Friday, I tried some of my crockpot Peach Crisp.  (It was gooooood)

I should have skipped it all together.

Saturday morning, I had two strips of turkey bacon and two eggs over hard with cheese and hot sauce.  (Everyone eats eggs with hot sauce right?  If you don't, you should)

To make this healthier, I should have skipped the cheese but I can't really eat eggs without cheese.

Then, I had a "taste" of the peach crisp.

I should have skipped this altogether but it was made with quick oats and whole wheat flour so it could have been worst.

For lunch, I had a fruit parfait with NO CHOCOLATE!

The yogurt is low-fat vanilla, but I could have chosen the Greek yogurt in the fridge or I could have used plain yogurt.  But, it's still a good choice for lunch over what I normally choose.

Bootleg Mac N Cheese

The hubby and son had left over but I had to make bootleg mac and cheese for my son...so of course, I had to have some....

Bad choice as there is not nutritious value to this at all.  But it was gooood!

Sunday morning, I had a fruit parfait with granola.

Good choice and my stomach didn't growl during church.  Then, I screwed up the day by having 1/2 an ice cream cone after church (not pictured)

Spaghetti Bake and cheesy garlic bread.  I used whole wheat thin pasta and I added broccoli to the spaghetti before I melted the cheese.

For dinner, I think I could have skipped the bread...simple carbs at night isn't the best choice when you're trying to burn fat.

I drank sparkling water all day Saturday and Sunday!!!  Yay...no guilt from drinking coke!!

Tomorrow is a new day and opportunity to make better choices....in food...and in life :)

Hubby: Oh, so you're blogging now?!?!?!?!

Why yes, Dear....I am!

I guess it's time to tell him he's joining me on my journey to get Sexy for the Wedding.

Today was not necessarily a good day for eating.  I was able to run a mile on the treadmill at a really good pace.  (Unfortunately my Nike Plus sensor in my shoe died so I wasn't able to post the results.)  Anyhoo...here's what I ate for the entire day......  

After I left the gym, I went to Red Robin with a friend and had a cup of Chicken Tortilla Soup. 

Once I got home, I had a strawberry parfait (with a little chocolate syrup)  I could have left off the chocolate but it was calling my name and I hate to be rude.

After running a few errands and before cooking dinner for my family, I had leftovers....yellow rice and a salmon patty.  Now, I told myself that I would eat the leftovers for my dinner and not have anything else for the rest of the night....well...keep reading.

And then I had a few Whoopers...cause they were just sitting on the kitchen table.  They looked so lonely :(

 So, I cooked dinner for my guys and...(sigh) couldn't help myself when I heard them say it was soooo good.  So I had a very small plate of .......yes......mashed potatoes and smothered "steak"....really ground turkey.  It was good...but I felt a little guilty because I think I overate for the day....especially with all the carbs....oh, I forgot...I had two Cokes....and I really don't even drink sodas much, but again, they were in the fridge looking all bubbly.

I already see a recurring theme here...do you?

Just in case you were wondering....where are the veggies on the plate...well, I skipped the veggies but the hubby and son didn't :)

The Hubby's plate

Let's hope tomorrow gets better!
