Okay, I think I'm back. I think. Barring any crazy binge-feeding moment later on tonight, I'm back!
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana).
Snack: Carrot sticks (and I get points for picking those out of a whole bunch of bad-choice items in the teacher's lounge today)
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell pepper (red, orange, yellow, and green mix), serving of grilled chicken, balsamic vinegar, olive oil), carrots, apple.
Dinner: Bottom round, two servings of asparagus, serving of Brussels sprouts, sharp cheddar cheese, mixed nuts, prunes, dark chocolate.
So that's my day. I hope I'm not jinxing it by posting this early, but hopefully not. Say told me (having read the book more recently than I have) I'm overdoing the eggs, so I'm laying off except for four a week... or maybe it's four servings a week. I'll have to look that up. I figure I'm getting animal protein from the milk and the yogurt, so I'm good.

Turn This Mug Around...
So I started the day determined to turn this whole crazy-eating thing around. So I had more for breakfast than just the skim milk thing I've been doing most "morning afters" (the mornings after I do the crazy over-eating thing). Mainly I just wanted to try to get my 9 servings of fruits/vegetables in. I don't know that I did, but I got more than I have on other days (not counting binge raisin-consumption).
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana).
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of grilled chicken, balsamic vinegar, olive oil), carrots, apple.
Dinner: Meatball, serving of lamb, bit of goulash, half-serving of mint carrots, about half a serving of what I think was spinach or a spinach dish, about a cup of asparagus pasta salad, about a serving of mushrooms, a few pita chips with hummus, and an oatmeal cookie.
It was Wednesday Night Supper Club, which I have not been to in weeks (and Cody "made" me go tonight), so I went, despite my desire to get back "on track". I think I did okay--at least not as bad as I've been doing. However, I could still freak out and binge, I suppose, if I don't get to bed soon!
I'm really wanting to get up and walk in the morning. I'd have to set the alarm for 4:45, however, and I think that's going to be to early at this point. Tomorrow is going to be a crazy day, but I really want to get that walk in.
Whatever. I've had a better day today... so far, anyway.

Tuesday, Late (Again)
Yeah, Tuesday ended up being not much better than Monday... but better than Monday. Still, no walk, bad eating, and so on.
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch (late, like after school): Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow mix), serving of grilled chicken, balsamic vinegar, olive oil), apple.
Dinner (okay, really a grazing sort of thing): Two servings of sharp cheddar cheese, several servings of raisins, way too many servings of mixed nuts and cashews... I lost count, seriously...
Here's the thing: I am going to defeat this whole strange near-binge-eating that's going on. I am. I will defeat it.
I will.

Monday, Late
Ugh. Hate this late updating stuff. Worse when I have to report massive failure to comply with the plan...
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein.
Lunch: None.
Dinner: Bottom round, serving of Brussels sprouts, too many servings of mixed nuts, a few mini-Snickers, few servings of raisins.
Yeah, failure to comply for sure. I'm off track and starting to eat stuff off the menu (instead of overeating stuff on the menu)!
Short entry. I know. So it goes.

Easter, Late
Easter was a cheat day... in a big way. But who am I kidding? I've had plenty of cheat days lately!
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Serving of pork roast, couple servings of Brussels sprouts, salad (avocado, lettuce, dried cranberries, bunch of other stuff... and some sort of vinaigrette dressing), Ruth's cornbread dish, about four rolls, about two cups of mashed potatoes, maybe a cup or two of noodles, about three-quarters of a cup of jello salad (cherry whip or something like that), and a slice of carrot cake. I'll add stuff later if I think of it.
Snack: Seriously, didn't think I'd want to eat at all that night, but I did end up eating some mini-snickers, some raisins, some mixed nuts, and a couple of mini-Hershey bars.
Yeah, cheat day. Big time.

Another Strange Day
The battle between my lack of willpower and my determination to return my willpower to its former glory rages on. However, the determination side took a blow today as I opted not to restock the mixed nuts and dark chocolate. Maybe in a week or so. Maybe.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Dinner: Chicken breast, two servings of asparagus.
Yeah, that's all I've eaten today. Plus, I've walked over two miles. Turns out Mapquest or whatever site I used to figure out how far it is around my blocks is off by about a tenth of a mile (or my car's odometer is off by the same amount in the other direction). So all those two-mile walks I was taking before Thursday (oh yeah, I walked Thursday... I forgot to report that on Thursday) may have been 1.5 mile walks (maybe slightly more than that). So, using the new data (which is not yet conclusive, mind you), I'm walking about 2.1 miles.
Whatever. I walked that Thursday and again tonight. And tomorrow is Easter, so the eating is going to be a bit off...

A Gain Again and Again
A gain this week. Not unexpected. Not huge. Worth sighing over, but moving on.
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, and yellow mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), carrots, raisins.
Snack: Mixed nuts (several servings), dark chocolate (several servings), two servings of sharp cheddar cheese.

Whatever. Stupid Lack-of-Self-Control...
Another blah day yesterday. I keep having arguments with myself about keeping certain things in the house (not things I shouldn't have at all, but things I seem to keep craving when it's later than I should be awake). I keep buying them because I am determined to get my willpower back. And then I keep snacking. Stupid willpower.
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar).
Dinner: Two serving of sharp cheddar cheese. Bottom round. Two servings of asparagus. Mixed nuts. Dark chocolate. Prunes. More mixed nuts, dark chocolate, prunes. And more mixed nuts and dark chocolate.
I shall persevere. I freakin' shall.

Almost Off the Reservation, the Final Chapter (I Hope)
Okay, one more bad day. Now things are better. I turned it around at the end (I hope), and that's that.
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Apple, carrots.
Snack: Two servings of sharp cheddar cheese, about four servings of mixed nuts, prunes.
How did I turn it around? I walked two miles. Not a lot, I know, but considering I missed Sunday's walk, and really didn't want to do this walk, I'm calling it a victory. Also, I prepped a some food I need for tomorrow (and the lack of that prepped food was the reason I had such a light lunch today).
So yeah, I'm calling it a turnaround. Deal with it.

Almost Off the Reservation, Part 2
So here's yesterday's down-and-dirty. Let's hope today isn't a part 3, although I already know breakfast is going to be minimal again today. Also, lunch is going to be off today, as I haven't prepped the chicken and I have a meeting over at Central Office about the time I'm normally eating lunch. Maybe I'll stop by the house on the way home and grab and apple and some carrots.
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, and yellow mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), apple, carrots.
Snack: About five servings of mixed nuts. Four servings of dark chocolate. Two servings of prunes. Two servings of sharp cheddar cheese.
I don't know whether or not to feel good that my wrong eating is coming off the "approved foods" list--I mean, it's still off eating, but at least I'm not diving into the stuff in the freezer that's there for everyone who isn't me that stops by to eat sometimes.

Almost Off the Reservation, Part 1
Behind on updating, and I haven't even been out of town. Just behind on updating. Didn't help that I had two bad nights in a row--never in a rush to type those up!
This one is for Sunday.
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Snack: Carrots.
Dinner: Three pieces of baked chicken (thigh, leg, wing), three servings of asparagus, about a cup-and-a-half of potatoes, probably about a serving of corn, a cheese-and-garlic biscuit thing.
Snack: About four servings of mixed nuts with four servings of dark chocolate. Two servings of prunes.
Yeah, it was cheat night for dinner, and the rest of the day I was on the menu but too little of some items and too many of others... hence the "Almost" in the title. Just not a good eating day. Wasn't a good day for most of it, actually, but it got better. So it goes.

Saturdays are Strange, Sometimes
Another day of off-schedule eating. Also, off-script. So it goes. It's late; I'm tired; that's all you get.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (banana and yogurt), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Snack: Carrots.
Lunch: About three-eighths of a 10.2 oz. triple pepperoni Totino's Party Pizza (Maddie didn't eat the whole thing), salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, and yellow mix), serving of mushrooms, serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), two servings of raisins.
That's it. That was my eating day. It's been a bad day. That's all I got. G'night.

Less Fruit and Veggies Today
Yeah, as I mentioned in the last post, I need to get to the store. Maybe tomorrow. I don't know. Blah. That's all: Blah.
Breakfast: Skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon. Yeah, really, that was all. It was that kind of morning.
Lunch (around 4:00... it was that kind of afternoon): Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), raisins, carrots.
Dinner: Fruit smoothie (yogurt, banana, whey protein), bottom round, carrots.
I'm going to bed here shortly. It's been that kind of night. Not really, but I didn't want to jack with the theme I had going there.
I walked tonight. Two miles. I walked two nights ago, too, but not sure I added that to that post. I might go add it here after I post this. Or I might not. I'm unpredictable like that.

A Day Late, A Diet Short
I need to go to the store. Also, I ate a bunch extra last night. Whatever. Better today, right? Also: must go shopping.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of grilled chicken, balsamic vinegar, olive oil), raisins, carrots.
Dinner: Bottom round, one serving of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts.
Snack, snack, and more snack: About two more servings of mixed nuts, two more servings of prunes, about four tablespoons of the all-natural peanut butter, carrots.
What a terrible end. I stayed up too late, for one thing. I must get back on a normal schedule.
Also, I must go to the store.
Anyway, that's yesterday. I hope to be able to get today's update posted tonight. We shall see.

Meal-Skipper!
Blame it on the MAP... or the schedule on this particular MAP Testing Day. I didn't get a chance to eat lunch, so I ate it when I got home. That meant I wasn't really all that hungry around dinner time, so I just had a snack a while after. I'm short fruits and veggies, but so it goes.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch (?): Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), raisins, carrots.
Snack: Sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts.
There you have it. I'm trying to be in bed and asleep by 11:00. Wish me luck on that...

A Poor Finish
Late report for yesterday. Poor finish for yesterday. The two aren't really related. Just facts sharing the same day.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of grilled chicken, balsamic vinegar, olive oil), raisins, carrots.
Dinner: Baked tilapia, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
The bad: Carrots, about two more servings (three, maybe?) of mixed nuts, prunes.
Yeah, I thought to myself, "Well, if I eat more carrots, I get the nine servings of fruits and veggies in," but then realized it just made me hungry.
So it goes. Better day today. Sort of. We'll see what the final report brings.

I Walk in the Dark for a Reason...
Okay, so I did my walk during daylight hours tonight, and it was terrible.
No, it wasn't the heat. No, it wasn't the people seeing me dare to try to improve myself (this seriously used to be a concern, until I realized it was insane, so now I pretend I don't feel that way so as to appear to be more sane than I am). And no, it was not that I am a vampire and cannot be exposed to direct sunlight.
The problem is I usually want to mouth the words and maybe even dance around a bit when songs I know well play on my Pandora station.
So I'll have to get back to an early-morning/late-evening walk plan, methinks.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), raisins, carrots. Yes, it's true, I didn't have the peppers today. I have three of the four in the fridge, but didn't get them cut up last night. I don't think I'll get to them tomorrow. I'm going to re-evaluate the whole pepper thing. I like the taste, but the peppers in the store these days suck.
Dinner: Baked tilapia, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
So, if you're keeping track, I only had 8 servings of fruits and veggies today. I have to figure out something to take the place of those bell peppers I'm about to stop using. Feel free to throw in suggestions!

Yeah, I'm Late.
Not only am I late, but I didn't walk yesterday. So I'm gonna try walking MWF this week and STTS next week, and see how that goes.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, and green mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), raisins, carrots.
Dinner: Three cups of goulash (my favorite of all the great things Tricia makes), three-and-a-half rolls (or mini-rolls... or faux-rolls... I can't remember what we decided to call them), and about two (maybe three) servings of peas.
As I said, I didn't get my walk in yesterday, but I'm going to get it in tonight. I swear it. I better, anyway. You can't just eat three-and-a-half faux rolls and expect it to do anything but taste good and cause badness!

Post Number Whatever, in Which I Say Nothing New
Seriously, nothing new here. Just reporting in. Walked two miles tonight. Bought some groceries. Ate the same thing I eat most every day--but still don't mind that I'm eating the same thing every day. Clothes still don't fit. And so on.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, and green), serving of grilled chicken, balsamic vinegar, olive oil), carrots, raisins.
Dinner: Bottom round, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
Now I'm thinking I said I ate an apple yesterday, when I actually didn't. I'll go check. If you don't see "update" at the bottom of yesterday's post when you go check it later, I must not have made that particular error. I'm sure I made up for it with some other error somewhere, however!

No Big Loss? Yes Big Loss!
Okay, not the biggest since I started, but the biggest in a long while. It's raised my average to over 3 pounds a week, anyway, so I'll take it!
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, and green), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), carrots, raisins.
Dinner: Bottom round, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
The magic number this week is 7.262. I've lost over 80 pounds. I keep stumbling across photos from before the end of September and I just can't get over the change. I'll have to put together a video of pictures sometime soon, just to torture people with it!

It's a Walk-a-Thon! Or a Walk-a-Palooza! Or a Walkatorium! Or a Walksation!
Whatever. I got another walk in. It's almost habit at this point. All I do is walk around the blocks (the street in front of my house and the two blocks it's a part of) until I've gone 2 miles, so it's nothing exciting (and there are inclines involved, which stinks), but I'm getting it done and doing it regularly now! Hooray for that, eh?
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, and green mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), carrots, raisins.
Dinner: Bottom round, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese.
Post-walk snack: Prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
Most days I'm drinking a bit more than the required amount of water (which is something like 64 ounces or something--I think... I just know I've so got it covered, so I never report it. I'm a water fiend, really. Can't get enough of that H2O stuff!
Yeah, I just edited HTML to get that "2" to be all subscript and stuff. I'm cool like that.

Feeling Better
Feeling better. Not terrific, but better than last night. I managed to eat normally today, even though I wasn't sure at first I'd manage.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow and green mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), carrots apple.
Dinner: Bottom round, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
Now I'm going to try to get some sleep, even though it seems like all I've done is sleep these past 24 hours or so!

The Walk that Broke the Camel's Back
So I went for a walk last night, even though I wasn't feeling at a 100%. By the time I was done, wasn't feeling at 75%, even. So I was home sick today, and still feel a bit off, but will probably try to go in tomorrow. Also: late on all my blogs.
Breakfast: Baked tilapia, slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, and green mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), apple, carrots.
Dinner: Bottom round, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese.
I took my walk thinking I'd have the rest as a snack after, and by the time I got home, I realized I wasn't going to do much more than zonk out. So I zonked out.

I Used to Eat the Same Thing Every Day...
I've said before that while I'm eating the same thing every day now, I pretty much used to eat the same thing every day before, it's just I ate a lot of crap. I'm thinking about posting a typical day from the old days on here, just to give you an idea. Be warned. (I'd do it tonight, but it's been over 6 months, so I'm going to have to think about it.)
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, and green mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), carrots, apple.
Dinner: Bottom round, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
I'm trying to think up other "landmark" weights to post. I used to have my first driver's license laying around somewhere. I could see if that weight is on the road to my goal weight. Right now I'm looking forward to 100 pounds lost, and then my weight when I lived in L.A., then all I have left is the goal. I need more landmarks!

I Was a-Walkin' in the Rain...
I walked tonight. All day today I was thinking there was no way I was going to walk, what with it being 90+ degrees here in K.C., when last week we had snow! However, a rainstorm came in and things cooled off considerably. I was on the phone with Tricia and she said it was supposed to be rain-free for about an hour, so I took a walk.
The last bit of it was in the rain, but I'm still glad I did it. I'm hoping to walk at least four times a week, and I'd prefer to walk SSTT every week.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, and green mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), apple, carrots.
Dinner: Baked tilapia, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
I didn't take a cheat night tonight. Maybe I'll just go without this week. Or not. We'll see.

Strange Schedule, but Normal Eats
Nothing new and exciting to see here. I did walk two miles today... actually, about an hour ago (it's about 12:30 in the morning now). I need to get a better schedule for this.
Breakfast: Two eggs (no yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, and green mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), carrots, apple.
Dinner (very late, mind you): Bottom round, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
Yeah, I didn't plan my evening very well. I'm going to be up for a while, just so I don't go to sleep all "full" and stuff. Thankfully I have Netflix on the Wii...

Go to Bed Hungry
So I'm supposed to go to bed a little hungry--or at least a couple of hours after I last ate... which I guess really means I'm supposed to go to bed "not full".
Last night I went to sleep watching T.V. about four hours after I ate, and then woke up sitting in front of the T.V. at 2:30, feeling much more hungry than I'd like.
Props to me, however, I managed to just get up and go to bed. However, I didn't get any blogs updated--thus the blog-updatement now.
Breakfast: Two eggs (one yolk), slice of whole-grain wheat bread, fruit smoothie (yogurt and banana), skim milk with whey protein and cinnamon.
Lunch: Salad (cup of spinach, cup of Romaine mix, serving of bell peppers (red, orange, yellow, and green mix), serving of grilled chicken, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), carrots, apple.
Dinner: Bottom round, two servings of asparagus, sharp cheddar cheese, prunes, mixed nuts, dark chocolate.
I've lost over 75 pounds, by the way! Burying the lead? Probably. Didn't mean to. But my road to the magic number of 10 (or close to it) is further along. This weeks magic number is 7.143.
