* Strawberry shortcake with fruit and whipped cream - according to Fitday (2” in diameter): 172 calories 2” in diameter is like 2-3 bites of food. Personally, I’ve never seen a strawberry shortcake the size of 4 quarters before… a quarter is about 1” in diameter. I don‘t know WHERE Fitday gets some of their numbers sometimes. )
Strawberry shortcake with fruit and whipped cream made by me: 469 calories (With me, being careful and measuring everything on the food scale…)

tomorrow will be odd becuase i have to be on my toes working from 11-2, so i can forget about a normal lunch. i guess i will have to have an early lunch around 10:30am, and then the second half at 2:30pm. i know it sounds really stupid but when i have these weird scheduling things, i get a little anxious about meal planning. but i am trying to change that, with a mild "oh well" shrug that any hunger pain will not destroy me. after the sweets ihad over the holidays, i am sure i have enough "reserves" in my system to do a 24 hour fast. ok...like how i talked my way out of THAT anxiety moment?

ok, well I no sooner started this and came down sick and I'm honestly not one to watch what I eat when I'm sick. Fortunately, I'm not sick too often.
In a nice note, I hadn't been on a scale since a doctor's visit in November and since I was back in there today because I was on day 6 of laryngitis (can I say I'm loving the prednisone since I already feel better 5 hours after the first dose?), I got weighed again. Only 2 lbs gained over the holidays so considering there was absolutely no restraint shown, I'm pretty pleased. I know at some point I'm going to have to stop this trend but for now, I'm not sweating it. It's a pretty slow trend at least.
So, let's look at tomorrow and see what we can work out: B: Almond butter toast, clementine, cranraspberry juice, chai L: Leftover stirfried chicken and veggies on rice noodles S: Pretzel/craisin/almond snack mix D: Chicken and dumplings, salad if it's still edible, frozen veggies if not E: Going to sleep in one more day and see if I can whip this crud
sunday breakfast: steamed a head of caulifower which hit the spot after a one hour workout,turnip cake, 4 steamed veggie dumplings, a few chocolate coffee beans movie snack: a few chocolate coffe beans, 3 homeamde spelt biscotti, diet iced tea dinner: went to an indian buffet. it was awful. the food was dried up. i just ate a drumstick, 3 bites of their rice, and their broccoli. then off to TCBY for frozen yogurt and a piece of red velvet cake. finished early (at 3:45pm) and did not eat any further. then had a one hour ballroom dance lesson which was so much fun.
monday: 3 spelt biscotti, green beans, chicken breast with some salad,1 dark chocolate graham cracker l: turnip cake, 2 buffalo wing thing from morningstar, turnip greens, 2 bites of edy's light ice cream s: 4 dark chocolate chips d: don't know yet. maybe a yogurt shake. no exercise. my off day.
