Hello again! Can you believe this is the LAST Tuesday of January 2010 already? WOW! And that also means David will have to take another pic of me this weekend for the blog! Today was kinda snowy and cloudy and just blah here. A few flakes are falling now but it is sporadic! It is Biggest Loser night again too! I must talk about why I don't buy some food items anymore--or not often anyways. Sunday I got low fat ice cream (half gallon) and today I looked and it was half gone already! And I confess--it was ALL ME! I was piecing at it little by little until it was half gone! And most of that was gone from TODAY! So to make it harder for me to get at--I put it in the deep freezer we have downstairs. This way at least I have to walk all the way down there and all the way back up to get any. SO far I have not touched it again since noon. As far as ice creams go it wasn't that bad but it is the point that I allowed myself to go overboard with it like I did. Potato chips is another weakness of mine that we do not buy anymore. If I get a huge craving for some I may go out and buy a small snack size bag and eat it. I will eat the whole bag no matter what the size is so a snack bag is all I need! I still struggle with emotional eating some days and I was mad about something. I need to confront that next time instead of eating.
So here is where I stand tonight on food:
1 banana
2 eggs
2 slices low sodium bacon
1 homemade whole wheat Eng. Muffin
1 pear
1 C. homemade onion soup
1 oz. cheese
low fat ice cream, ice cream, ice cream LOL! (1/2 cup is 130 calories)
1.5 cup homemade chicken noodle soup (whole wheat noodles homemade too)
6 soda crackers
Total calories for day approx. 1400-1600 Hard to say since I did not enter the recipe into Spark Recipes calculator yet on my soups. So I am still in range for the day BUT fat content is up
Total calories count, but the ratio of fat doesn't matter as far as losing weight is concerned. Of course, there are other health risks associated with a high fat diet.
ReplyDeleteTrue. But I like to keep an eye on it. Otherwise It will get out of control. And bacon is not the "good" fat like Olive oil would be. But I did notice there was not as much grease in the pan from this low sodium bacon as there usually is in regular bacon. I think it still all comes down to calories in, calories out.
