So tired

I am so tired tonight and have been very busy but I made a commitment to blog about my eating habits and other health related stuff so I am going to do despite my fatigue.

Exercise - 15 minutes on the treadmill, 10 minutes on the elliptical, 20 minutes strength training
Breakfast - 1.5 scrambled egss with cheese (no butter or oil) 1 slice of whole grain bread with a little honey, 1/2 cup of cantaloupe.
Snack: tall non-fat latte, 1 oz chocolate
Lunch: went to Tossed had about 3/4 of a turkey and cheese crepe (lettuce, tomato) with some tortilla chips
Snack - fat free sugar free gelato - yummy.
Dinner - grilled chicked with broccoli, tomatoes, mushroom and dreamfield pasta, 1 slice of bread
Snack - 1 nectarine

Thoughts - How I could have done better - eliminate the chocolate and the tortilla chips. Also, I could have made sure I had refilled my vitamin prescription. I am all out.

There, that wasn't so bad. Goodnight!

Today started out fairly well, with a good workout (27 minutes on the treadmill), about 20-25 strength training. Breakfast was good (2 egg scrambled with low fat cheese in the microwave and a too large slice of rye bread.) On the way to work I had a tall nonfat latte. Yummy. Then lunch at my parents house. Two small slices of pizza, salad and broccoli with evoo. While there I dipped into the cookie jar for two sugar free cookies. Back at work I had some yummy cherries. Work was really slow today so my boss, his wife and I went to Chick-fila, where I got a kiddie sized ice cream. I left work 15 minutes early to go to Whole Foods. While there i sampled a few items and bought a rotisserie chicken for dinner - only 7.99. Not bad for naturally raised chicken (not organic.) Once home I steamed some broccoli (oohh, twice in day) and whole wheat cous-cous. After dinner I had a a piece of the chocolate I purchased at WF. It was organic, fair trade, dark chocolate - does that make it any better for me? Probably not. I can see clearly that if I could just eliminate or at least pair down the desserts and bread I would be eating a fairly healthy diet.

Exercise: 10 minutes eliptical, 20 minutes strength training
Breakfast: 1/2 dunkinig Donuts sandwich - 5 pts. coffee w/ cream 1,
Snack: cottage cheese 1 pts
Lunch" Left over chicken sausage and peppers w/ pasta - 6pts.
Snack: peach
Temptation Toppler: I went to the vending machine with the intention of getting a yoohoo. I have not had one in years. I cam back with a bottle of water instead. I did take a small portion of a powered donut while I was in the kitchen. So it was not a total success.

I know, I know...

I know the things I should do, and those things I don't do. And then there are things I should not be doing but I do them anyway. My paraphrase of the Apostle Paul. I don't consider my diet to be horrible I just know I could soooo much better. I know that my diet affects my health. So why is it sooooo hard just to eat well? I have always wondered if my diet could be the cause of our infertility but then I tell myself, "my diet isn't that bad" It's not like I am sitting around eating hohos all day. How many times have I written these same words in the past?

Past my bedtime

I need to be better about going to bed and getting enough sleep. Now that II found the blog-o-sphere and face book I have a hard time pulling myself away. OK, I am going to bed NOW!!!

Lazy Day

Exercise: Not yet, and we probably won't
Breakfast: 2 slices of rye bread, fruit salad, cottage cheese, 1% latte , 2 of Dave's mom's sugarless biscotti - 8 pts. Probably should not have had the bread
Soul Food: none i am sorry to say
Snack: none
Lunch: Going to Moe's - had the personal trainer salad w/ quac, chips, salsa and a little dressing. 10 ww pts.
Snack: none
Habit Breaker: gave in tonight and had a slice of rye bread. I was a little hungry and now I regret it.
Dinner: leftovers - a little steak, spag. squash casserole and green beans w/ evoo = 10 ww pts
Dessert: a scoop of low fat ice cream = 2 ww. pts.
Temptation Island: Down time
Bites and Tastes: cashew crumbs
Thoughts: I don't want to eat out of emotion, only to fulfill by nutritional needs and for the pleasure of enjoying good food. I think we have to recognize the fact the food is enjoyable and that is not a bad reason to eat. As long as we are not trying to fill a gap in our lives with food.

I had to take 2 tums today. That makes me feel like an old lady.
