Wednesday....

I had a nice walk today (and the last couple of days, actually). I spent Monday and Tuesday with Mark's parents. Here's today's log:

Breakfast: 1 egg, 1/2 english muffin, 1/3 c. raspberries
Snack: 1 slice toast, jam
Lunch: Smoothie with 1 c. yogurt, 2 banana, 1/2 c,. mango, 1 c. coleslaw
Snack: 1/2 english muffin
Dinner: 14 tortilla chips, lettuce, cucumbers, 1/4c. cheese, peppers, bean sprouts, salsa ranch dressing

Today's reason to lose weight: I want to get my image of my body and the actual thing to be in agreement with each other.

Sunday....

For some reason, I don't really feel like blogging tonight, though it was actually a very good day. I hiked up and around Bernal Hill, picked blackberries and made jam--very satisfying. It reminds me of canning as a child with my mom.

Breakfast: 1 piece rye bread, 1 egg, 1 nectarine
Snack: 1 c. carrot juice
Lunch: 10 rice crackers, 2 T carrot pate, 2 T. bean spread, 2 pieces baguette, vege spread, 2 flatbread wedges with pumpkin spread, 1 small piece birthday cake
Dinner: Vege pad Thai at herbivore
Snack: 3/4 c. ice cream

Okay, I could've skipped the ice cream tonight and gone for some fruit instead.

Today's reason to lose weight: I want to have lots of energy for life and make good choices for myself.

For Friday

We were up late last night with guests, so I'll give you the scoop on yesterday right now. I got out for my morning walk--it's nice to be back in my familiar territory.

Breakfast: 1/2 c. granola, 1/2 c. yogurt, 1/4 c. raspberries
Lunch: 1/4 c. mock salmon pate, 8 rice crackers, 4 olives, 15 grapes, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes
Snack: 1 c. popcorn, 1/2 c. granola, 1/2 c. yogurt
Dinner: 3 slices pizza, vege salad, blackberry cobbler, 1/2 c. ice cream

All in all a good day with lots of veges. I should've stopped at less pizza and had a bit smaller piece of black berry cobbler. Overall, though, I'm pleased by my increase of vegetables. Mark and I are trying to eat more raw foods so I have really stocked up on the fruits and veges this week.

Today's reason to lose weight: I think that my weight effects my hormonal balance and I hope that losing weight will make for a healthier hormones : ).

Back from Vacation!

Hello, everyone! I am back on my blog after a relaxing vacation. I came home and weighed in the very same as when I left, so I think I'll consider that success. It is usually very hard for me to stay out of the food at my mom's house and I did better than usual this time--improvement anyway.

I did well writing things down today and hope to get the weight coming off once again. I am also trying to eat more raw foods, as well. I walked up to Noe Valley this morning.

Breakfast: 1 1/2 c. yogurt smoothie with blackberry and mango, 1/2 c. granola, 1/4 c. milk
Lunch: 1 c. cabbage salad, 1 piece toast, 1 T cashew butter
Snack: 1 nectarine, 1/2 c. granola, 1/4 c. millk, 1 1/2 c. cantaloupe
Dinner: 1 sausage, 1/2 c. pasta with tomato sauce, large spinach salad, 4 olives, 8 cherry tomatoes
Snack: 1/ 2 c. granola, 1/4 c. milk

(I guess I was craving the granola today :)

Today's reason to lose weight: My physical health is in direct correlation with my emotional well being!
