In/Out for Thursday, August 14

14 08 2008

IN:

Breakfast: Coffee with a splash of half & half and sugar-free sweetener; a few ounces of low fat vanilla yogurt.

Snack: Oh god, a chocolate glazed donut. I got it in return for helping a coworker. I really have to stop thinking of food as a reward.

Lunch: Lentil soup and Coke Zero. Love, love, love lentils. They are a perfect food.

Dinner: Well….nothing. Bad girl. I had rehearsal and then went out for drinks and came home at 10:45 realizing I hadn’t eaten, but that I’m also not hungry. Maybe I’ll have a little yogurt.

OUT:

Nothing, it’s an off day.





In/Out for Wednesday, August 13

14 08 2008

IN:

Breakfast: Coffee with splash of half & half with sugar free sweetener. No food, because I am a bad person who forgot to buy breakfastable foods yesterday.

Lunch: Went to Whole Foods for the hot bar! Two triangles of fried sweet & sour tofu, a serving of garlic basil zucchini & squash, about 3 forkfuls of curry shredded chicken, and half a cob of roasted corn. Plus a natural cherry soda (140 calories).

Snack: A bottle of Coke Zero.

Dinner: About half of the portion you see below of JUNGLE FUCKING CURRY. We went to a Thai restaurant and I found a curry made with no dairy or coconut milk, which is much healthier. It was very spicy red curry with chicken, zucchini, bamboo shoots, bell peppers, green beans, etc, and avocado which I made them add to it (avocado is somewhat caloriffic, but has good-for-you vegetable fats, tons of fiber and some protein, not to mention tasting amazing). I only used about 1/3 of the rice. I’m bringing the other portion for lunch tomorrow!

Dessert: 150 calories worth of jelly beans. I counted.

OUT:

I walked 7/8 of a mile (0.86 miles) meeting a friend for lunch, burning about 85 calories; and swam 18 laps/36 lengths/ half a mile in the pool after work, mostly breaststroke, some freestyle and backstroke, burning about 490 calories.

Man, think about how much more I burned swimming for 40 minutes than I would have if I walked for 40 minutes, which is twice what I did today!

Also, I want to point out that I did excellently on veggies today.
