Go Away Leaf People

November 7, 2008 by applec

Busy, busy Friday.  It sure makes the day go fast.  I head home almost everyday to have lunch with Ted. Today, the doorbell rang.. interupting our intense crossword puzzle concentration. It was the “Leaf People” back AGAIN!  Can U believe it?!!! They came by yesterday, first to borrow the tarp to use on someone elses lawn, then looking for work, then simply just asked for money. Today, they wanted to know if they could borrow a push mower if we had one. PLEASE!!! Good thing Shane doesn’t really like one of the guys and that particular guy is not crazy about Shane.  I think we’re safe. I have pictures of them and their vehicles anyway. 

On to FOOD!  I was hungry at lunch time so I made a salad which really should have been for at least 2 people but ate it all myself.  I picked on baby carrots with hummus while making the salad which included:

Salad and quorn

  • Baby Spinach
  • broccoli slaw
  • 1/2 chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/4 of a small cucumber chopped
  • 4 sliced cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup brown rice
  • 1 Naked Quorn Cutlet (topped w/ 1TBS Annies Lite Ginger Vinegrette + few squirts of BRAGG Aminos): microwaved 1 minute.
  • 1 TBS Feta Cheese

I added about 1 more TBS of Annies Dressing and 1 TBS balsamic vinegar.  The total calories were about: 380

 In regards to calories, protein, fats, carbs, I track them every WEEK day (never on weekends). Dinner usually always consists of protein and fiber and if I haven’t eaten enough during the day, I will snack on healthy snacks to make up for it.   It’s usually carbs or fat that I have to add to by the end of the day(rice cakes, nuts…).  If I have anything starchy for dinner, it is either squash, or beans.  My typical calorie intake for a weekday is as follows (doesn’t include the nibbles of nuts & raisins throughout the day):
  • Breakfast between 400 and 550 calories.
  • Mid Morning Snack between 200 and 300 calories.
  • Lunch between 350 and 400 calories.
  • Mid day snack about 200 calories and
  • dinner around 300 – 450 calories (my “make-up” snacks are not included in these calories).

Friday’s we go out to dinner and,  because I eat SO MUCH BREAD (I luv bread in any way, shape, or form) with my Friday dinner, I request vegetable instead of starch. I don’t eat bread Mon. – Thurs. unless it is sprouted 100% whole grain.  Friday at 5PM becomes “Cheat Day” and I stop counting and tracking for the weekend. I rarely weigh myself, just go by how I feel in my clothes.  My weight is maintained between 116 and 120 lbs. If I go below 116, I don’t feel good, and think my head starts to look too big.

BIG HEAD

In regards to the calories I consume, every day I exercise and with exercise alone, will burn anywhere between 600 to over 1000 calories. I REALLY have to pay attention to what I eat in order not to lose muscle mass. When I first started running, I didn’t change my diet and my weight dropped. I listen if Ted tells me I’m on the thin side. I think women in general tend to focus on particular features that we don’t like in an attempt to somehow change them and therefore neglect the whole picture. That’s why it’s important to listen to our loved one’s opinions because we all see things from a different perspective and others may not even see those little bumps, bulges that we are so focused on.

So that’s my blurt for the day.  I am reading about foods that will give you a “kick” in the morning if your eyes just don’t want to open as well as some tips for running more efficiently.  There are a couple of new running routines I might try as well.  I’ll post them if they’re really worth while. 

Have a great… CHEAT DAY!
