Sporty: Food Log Accountability (10/4-10/10)

Going to try the this ... check out the comments.

Sporty: Posting our Food Logs?

I think Ginger or Posh suggested that it would be helpful to post our food logs. I think the logic was to help us stay accountable and to share ideas. Anyone interested?

Here's mine: Sporty's Food Log

Also what plan did everyone select for the diet part of phase 3? I decided to go with WW points.

Good luck with phase 3 everyone - we can do this!

Ginger: Just for "Fun"

Since I did a food log last week, I thought I'd explore the whole vegan thing a bit more. Specifically, I wanted to check out my hunch that vegan choices help me to avoid random eating -particularly ice-cream cravings.

So, I flipped through my entries then started cracking up. Just for fun, here's a sample of non-vegan items that I consumed last week.

Strawberry Malt
Now this is the really good malt -you know the kind that comes in a tall glass with a spoon and the extra tin cup on the side? According to one website, "Specific nutritional data on Fuddruckers menu items is not currently available." I guess they're going with ignorance = bliss.

Pecan Mudslide
Stressful afternoon which ends with a trip to Dairy Queen. The Pecan Mudslide racks up 650 Calories, 12g Saturated Fat, 70g Sugar, 2g Fiber.

Gelato
A cheesy Mexican dinner -which we won't even address - followed by dessert at Michael's Gelato. Let's assume that the double scoop cone was about 1 cup of gelato. That averages 300 Calories, 4g Saturated Fat, 44g Sugar, 0g Fiber. Hey, I guess it's better than the malt or the mudslide.

Oreo Shake
I save the best for last and down an Oreo Shake at Jack in the Box. My day and week both end with a whopping 910 Calories, 32g Saturated Fat, 80g Sugar, 1g Fiber.

No wonder I haven't been losing weight!! I don't even want to think about what all that sugar is doing in my body. Well, maybe I do...stay tuned for the next post.

Sporty: Eating & Moving (Wk 7)

The "honeymoon period" is definitely ending and I need to build in more accountability. I feel myself beginning to lose interest. Following the lead of Ginger and Posh I'm going to try building in more accountabilty by posting my eating and exercise. This will probably be pretty boring but feel free to comment if you see me getting off track.
