Monday
40 mins arc trainer
bread and cheese (there was nothing else around....)
"healthy" new england clam chowder (120C, 2g F), 1/2 serving of michelina's lean gourmet pizza snack thingies (splitting with mark is good... so I eat less!)
bread and cheese (ugh...)
grilled chicken salad with romaine, artichokes, cucumber, tomato, carrots, and croutons... half serving of lite caesar dressing
lots of tea and water
I went grocery shopping last night so I'm armed with healthy snacks... no more random bread and cheese for me!

Snacking
I definitely have the same problem with snacking. But I'm lucky since I work down the street from Whole Foods. I can get out and grab some veggies to snack on. I also have a bunch of healthy and filling foods in my desk drawer. The Wasa cracker with peanut butter always seems to take 15 minutes for me to eat.
So Teresa, maybe you should try to keep some healthy stuff in your drawer so you can fulfill your craving without eating bad things.
One of the exercise and diet blogs I read talked about overeating healthy food and he said he didn't gain any weight when he ate all healthy stuff without regard to portion size.
I'll find the article and post the link. It's very interesting.

I love oatmeal!
Oatmeal and Dunkin Donuts coffee in the morning makes me so happy! Now if I can just stay that way the entire day I'd probably not snack as much. Didn't do too bad yesterday, expect for a few too many nuts from my coworker's stash. I'm swearing those off today. I even made myself a healthy dinner last night which is pretty shocking since I never cook. And I managed to get chest and 45 minutes on the arc trainer done at the gym yesterday.
I think anytime we get cravings to snack during the day we should drink some water and post to the blog. I bet the craving will pass by the time we finish. Half the time I only want to snack because I'm bored and looking for something to do. I can't stand it if I'm not busy. Does anyone else have that problem or am I just the weird one?

February so far
Well, so my Sat night wasn't so great either. I was at the same D&B event with A. I only had one slider, and I didn't eat the bread. A couple chicken nugget things and 2 mini pizzas. 3 glasses of red wine, 1 1/2 bud lights, and one shot of vodka.
Before that, I had my usual Sat morning class that kicked my butt. Breakfast, lunch and snacks consisted of cheerios, preztels, and carrots.
Sunday was eggs benedict with fresh fruit. No lunch, 1/2 piece of lemon cake from Starbucks. Dinner was shrimp cocktail, and some pita chips. No alcohol for the superbowl for me.
Today was okay for food, except for those preztels that are at the client I've been working at. B-cheerios, snack - snap peas, L-vegetable soup, apple, snack - yogurt (I tried that Greek Fage stuff - it's pretty good), D-steak teryaki skillets.
Gym after work - ran 2.5 miles and did about 30 pushups.
Tomorrow I'm back at the office with my desk drawer of healthy goodies and the Whole Foods down the street.
Good luck in February everyone! I know we can do it!
A -text me whenever you need some help staying strong!

Bad weekend - as expected
Yup, too much drinking and bad food this weekend as expected. I did make it to the gym for arms on Friday and then I did 35 min on the treadmill Saturday. I actually ate healthy on Saturday (oatmeal & turkey sausage, sushi, soup & crackers) and then proceeded to succumb to my friends peer pressure of tequila shots, which are always a bad idea...
Definitely ate horribly on Friday night and Sunday night. Today starts my new diet though and with it I have to totally cut out drinking, sugar, most carbs and vinegar (which is in everything btw). It's a tough one to stick with so I hope I can do it!

Jake's Saturday
Lots of running around today but got the out of the house stuff done. The Officer Down Gala was really nice. There was a guest speaker, his name is Will Jimeno. He is a retired Port Authority Police Officer. He is a survivor from 9/11. If you ever watched the movie World Trade Center by Oliver Stone, this movie was about his experience. He is one of two surviving officers that went into that building as it came crumbling down on top of them. He is one of the two that the two marines found as they were walking on top of the rubble and heard him call out. To hear him was bone chilling. He talked about that day, from the moment he woke up (he skipped down the steps of his newly purchased home, kissed his 4 year old daughter and seven month pregnant wife), what it was like being trapped under concrete, his being ready to make peace and die and then his 'vision of Jesus' that brought him the strength to survive. He said he asked the "faceless vision" for water. This man that had a building on top of him was standing in front of me inspiring us all to never give up, be the best people we can be, to be decent human beings and give it all we've got.
In a week when I saw morals, values, character and integrity go down the toilet, I was inspired by a man that could have given up, that has not lost his sense of team work or his faith in humanity and while I know this is not what this blog is for, I wanted to share it.
Screw the Super Bowl. I know what I'm watching again tonight.
