No Control

I have lost 10 pounds so far. I did my weekly weigh-in, which will be Thursday morning and I am down 10 pounds. I have been pretty good about cutting sugar, and little bad about the flour. I still have had about 3 or 4 meals that are flour filled. What sucks is the lack of control. Last night I went to Maggianos, so I knew I was going to eat real pasta, non of that whole wheat or gluten free crap, but real made from flour and eggs pasta. But then there was bread on the table and I have like 3 or 4 pieces of that, plus the fried calamari, which was 20-30 pieces. Probably more. My friend liked calamari too, so it was a fight to the death.

I have been using my planner to keep track of my meals. I am not calorie counting, but for the most part, I think I am eating better. I also have started taking supplements. There was a a buy 1 get 1 free sale at CVS so I bought three. Just a Multi-Vitamin for women, Flax Seed Oil, and Fish Oil. The Fish oil is supposed to help my triglycerides go down, I have also heard the flax seed oil will help with that. Either way, all the vitamins say they are good for the heart, scares away cancer, and fish oil helps grease up the old joints. Think of yourself as a tin man and fish oil is the canister.

My meal for this week so far:

September 7- Breakfast- Apple, Over easy Egg, Glass of Water, the above mentioned vitamins

Snack- Hard Boiled egg (no salt)

Lunch- Chick-fil-a Chicken Salad with spicy dressing (dressing has sugar in it) Unsweetened Iced tea that I sweetened with 2 equals.

Snack- Diet coke/apple

Dinner- 3.5 pieces of thin Pork Tenderloins, 1/4 cup white rice, 1/4 cup beans, some red onion and carmen pepper and spring onion. A sugar free OJ marinade that I reduced to put on top of the rice and pork- delicious. This isn't the site we got it from, but it is the same recipe: http://thematzats.blogspot.com/2008/02/cuban-pork-tenderloin.html. What I did was, after the pork was done in the marinade and cooking in the oven, I put the left over marinade in a pan and let it come to a boil, then I added the chopped red onion and carmen peppper and the white part of the spring onion and let it cook in the marinade as it reduced. Then right before I served, I added the green part of the onion to get them a little cooked. It was very salty, so I might even suggest not adding any salt, just salting your tenderloins and adding it at the table if you need it.

Dessert- No Sugar Klondike Bar

September 8- Breakfast: Pear, Glass of Simply Orange, Glass of Water

Snack: Hard boiled Egg

Lunch- 1/3 cup rice, 1/2 cup black beans, a little red onion, Diet Coke, one of those single serve Chi-Chi's salsa thing

Snack -Apple

Dinner- Maggianos- 3 pieces of bread dipped in oil or the cheese sauce of my ravioli, 20-30 pieces fried calamari, Four cheese ravioli dinner, 2 diet cokes, glass of water

September 9- Breakfast- Pear, 2 glasses or water, corner of American Cheese slice (1/4 ounce maybe?)

Snack: Hard Boiled Egg

Lunch: 1/4 cup white rice, 1/4 cup black beans, Diet Coke, two corn tortillas

Snack: Apple, maybe a 1/4 cup left over gnocchi from Maggianos.

Dinner: Bowl of hamburger helper... more noodles

So those are my meals. I need to up my water intake. I am still not really exercising or anything. Maybe this week.
