I got home too late to post my food intake yesterday.
Yesterday, January 2, 2013, was my first day back to healthy eating and watching my intake. I had to go out of town for the evening and did my best.

Breakfast: toast and pb; milk
Lunch: one cup of rice and 1/2 cup of dhal (lentils)
Snack: granola bar; handful of raisons; one cup of tea with milk
Dinner; haleem with all the fixings ( a thick stew made of beef and at least 7 types of grains and lentils); some veggie juice; some sherbet made with milk and rose essence; rice pudding
Snack: (back home) little bit of veggie juice and one cup of tea

January 3

I did not do too well today. I had too many chores and I was busy the WHOLE day. I'm also trying to get the kids settled back into a routine and ......

Breakfast: bread with pb; two cups of tea
Snack; bar
Lunch; bread with pb; one small apple
Dinner; three slices of veggie pizza ( was too busy to cook and ended up ordering pizza)
Snack: some sort of fruit

I have consumed 5 cups of green tea and no water
I hope I haven't slipped too much. I've got so much to do and it's hard trying to get the cooking in as well. If I cook, something doesn't get done. AND.... I don't even have any groceries in the house except for a few stalple items. I got back and jumped right into getting things done.

Jan 4

Breakfast: n/a I wasn't really hungry and didn't have an appetite. I was so tired from the holidays.... I think things are catching up to me. It's the first time I have been home for two consecutive days. I only had three cups of tea with milk
Lunch: slice of bread with pb.
Snack: bar; cup of tea with milk; banana
Dinner; haleem (an unbelievable taste experience of at least seven lentils/grains and shredded beef); fixings and a half naan; four sugar oranges
Snack: glass of clamato juice; 12 pistachios (I don't know why i only ate 12)

At least four cups of green tea and MAYBE one glass of water.

Since DS is going through a maintenance and we won't be able to post, I thought I would post my intake for the day now. This includes what I plan to still eat or drink.

I suppose I should mention that after I posted my intake at the very late hour last night, I found a bag of uneaten chips and ate quite a bit of it. :(

Breakfast: three cups of tea with milk; one banana
Snack: bar
Lunch: two slices of French toast
Snack: na
Dinner: stir fried noodles; stir fried beef; glass of veggie juice; couple of celery stalks
Snack: few sugar oranges

I've drank about 4 cups of green tea and no water. I hope to at least get in two glasses of water before bed.

I also hope not to jeopardize my efforts today.... as I did yesterday and the day before.

January 6

DS was 'shut down' and I couldn't post....

January 7

Breakfast: two cups of tea; bread with pb
Snack: bar
Lunch; bread with 1/2 cup of haleem (gotta finish the leftovers); some veggies
Dinner: naan; keema aloo (ground beef and potato curry); celery; bar
Snack: veggie juice; some sort of fruit (yumm... maybe some apple slices with cheese)

I've had two cups of green tea and.... are you ready for this?...... 8 glasses of water! I know, right? Since when do I like to drink water over green tea?
AND...... even more of a shocker...... I actually went to the gym tonight and attended a one hour class called bootcamp. It was a mix of everything... weights, cardio, stretching, lunges and squats. I know. I know. It must be a new year!

January 8

My computer was down yesterday evening and I could not post. I did eat properly though.

January 10

I could not access the internet again last night. This time it was only my computer. I don't know what's going on.

Jan 11

Breakfast; bread and pb; two cups of tea; hand full of dates
Snack: bar
Lunch: very very late: one roll of vegetable sushi
Dinner: home made shrimp fried rice. I think I ate too much; glass of veggie juice
Snack: some fruit (I don't know what yet)

No green tea today. Three glasses of Perrier water.
It's been a strange day. I didn't have much of an appetite and then suddenly, at dinner, I ate like crazy. I'm so bloated now.

Jan 12

Breakfast: bread and pb; two cups of tea; dates
Snack: bar; one cup of tea
Lunch; bread and pb; veggies
Dinner; pasta; ground beef; sauce; salad; small orange (it was a very late dinner)

I consumed four glasses of water. No green tea.
I hope I don't get off the computer and find a nice sweet or fried snack calling out to me. Wish me luck.

I was really busy up till late evening helping my daughter with a project. I didn't have time to post. I did eat healthy and even managed three slices of homemade pizza... my absolute weakness. I have to have it at least once a week.
I'm not going to bother posting my consumption but, rather, note that I did take care in what I was eating.
I have to be accountable every day... for myself... whether or not anyone reads this. It helps me stay focused and stick to my plan.

Jan 15

Crazy busy in my household right now. I have been keeping a diary of what I've been eating. I'm doing well with it and it shows on my daily weight check. I guess I could be doing better.... who can say that they are perfect?

Anyways.... I'm having a hard time getting in all the foods that I need today. I don't know what happened. Where did the day go? Where did the time go? I guess I was too focused on my chores that I didn't even feel hungry. Now I'm trying to eat everything I need to so that I have a good day tomorrow.
