Day 71 - An Old Favorite

I thought I would post my old food diary that I once wrote and found hilarious. I plan to do a new one soon: enjoy!

Day 1: Sunday, January 13:

Woke up and cleaned with roomie which always makes me hungry so I had half a bagel with cream cheese and then was off to yoga. Also had a Healthy Trinity vitamin...sometimes I think I could live off of these vitamins.

Yoga makes me super hungry so had to have a left over chicken strip from dinner the night before, ate it cold of course. Then we were off to Lucky John's, our most favorite bar, for the Cowboy's game.

Consumed beer...I refuse to give a number. Oh, and one shot, a Drew Drop, invented by our bartender...tastes like candy. And had a grilled cheese on white. I usually prefer wheat, but I don't think that was an option. It was good, in the way that food is good after you've had a few beers. Although I struggle with my love of cheese because I think we are overmilking our cows.

Came home and had some ice cream cake. I bought this last week in a need for cake and it has been more than great to have around. It's a Snickers ice cream cake (be jealous). But I didn't put it away in time, so it melted (but there wasn't much left). Later had a pork chop, flavored with soy sauce and agave. This was good, but could have been because I was starving from beer. "Napped" and then to bed, only to wake up super thirsty in a couple hours and need some juice and water.

Not many greens or anything healthy on this day, but that's what Sundays are about.

Day 2: Monday, January 14:

Half bagel with cream cheese again, and also a clementine and juice and a Healthy Trinity. I really enjoy clementines lately.

3 cinnamon tic tacs on the way to work. Usually I only eat 2 because they spice up my mouth, but I poured out too many today. I prefer the white or orange tic tacs.

Snacked on some little lemon poppyseed scones at work before lunch. They're the ones from Whole Foods and they taste like dough, which I love.

Had a leftover turkey burger for lunch, on a pita. Somedays I really love turkey burgers on pitas, today was one of those days.

Snacked on more scones and goldfish.

Dinner was a real treat. My roomie made this dip with cream cheese, organic chili and shredded cheese. We saw it on a Phili cream cheese label that I have to make crab dip (still haven't done!). We dipped carrots, celery, and pitas into it and it was goooooood! Also had some really good salmon and wild rice. We love fish with wild rice. Although sometimes I think people are overfishing... :P

Day 3: Tuesday, January 15:

Same breakfast, although with milk. I considered only having my vitamin today, but then I realized I'm not a robot.

Forgot to have tic tacs on the way to work...that's a first!

My lunch with my boss was moved to today, so I wanted to be sure I was plenty hungry because it was bound to be good!

We went to Il Moro, Italian, and I had lobster and shrimp tortolloni, iced tea, and part of her swordfish. It was all to die for! I considered skipping dinner because I was so full, but then I realized, again, that I'm not a robot. Then I snacked on some donuts that I packed because I thought I was out of scones (I'm not). I think I had 4 donut holes.

Then I had to have some more of that dip at home (mind you this is after I worked out although I'm sure not working out wouldn't have stopped me. I ate tortillas with it tonight.

Once the roomie got home we had baked potatoes with cheese and sour cream. We also had fruit salad with clementines and grapes...the purple ones. I think we are overpicking green grapes.

(Damn, writing this really makes me want some red velvet cake from Sweet Occasions...I'll have to make a trip to Chicago or maybe I can get some shipped out here...I am important after all).

Day 4: Wednesday, January 16:

Guess what I had for breakfast. Same thing...I like to eat lots of bagels because I don't think we are overbageling just yet.

2 red tic tacs on my way to work...thank god i remembered!

Once I got to work I was practically hungry again. I still forgot that I wasn't out of scones, so I had 3 donut holes, the glazed kind.

Today was one of those days when all the food you have to eat doesn't sound good and you want to spend some money to get anything that does sound good. But I resisted because I made a 3 bean salad with black beans, green beans, and garbanzo beans in it. It's ok, but I'm thinking it needs some chicken or something. Who can live off of beans?! Plus I'm starting to feel bad because we are overbeaning.

Realized later that I still had one donut hole left, so I ate it. And I also had a bunch of goldfish (the cheese kind, so it doesn't affect the overfishing).

Was super excited for dinner...fajitas! Probably one of my favorite foods, chicken, beans, tortillas, lettuce, tomato, onion, sour cream, avocado! Had two of them and they were good. Realized later that I was still hungry so I had some of the best chips in the word, Chili Fritos (C3) and some milk. It was perfection.

Day 5: Thursday, January 17:

It's hard to remember what I ate because I forgot to jot it down and it's been a little while. Probably bagel and clementine and milk and vitamin.

Not sure what I snacked on either. I believe I remembered that we had scones, so I'm sure some of those and of course tic-tacs on my way to work.

I did have 3 bean salad with chicken this time. It was ok, but I won't be making this salad again anytime soon. Just not quite right.

Probably had some goldfish also.

Dinner was a Boca burger becasue Thurs. we go out after Crystal's class so we do dinner separately. I like them. Then we went out for beers. Yum! Some loser tried to give us the rest of his baby pitcher...eww. Like fine to buy someone a drink, but we don't take leftovers.

Then we had to make a pit stop at Taco Bell on the way home. We get hungry and I had a cheesy gordita which is heavenly and nachos. Perfection!

Day 6, Friday, January 18:

Woke up, perhaps hungover. Can't remember if I ate breakfast. I think maybe half a bagel.

But then...roomie had finished her tests so I wanted to take her out special for a celebration. And I took her to.............................................................. The Sizzler! Yes, soak it in. I ate tons because their salad bar is appetizers. Genius! So I had some onion rings, fried corn (one of my favorite foods), mac and cheese, pasta salad, shrimp and mashed potatoes, oh and cheese bread. And a Dr. Pepper...cures hangovers. I know nothing here is green, but it was all good! Plus it's not like we're over-noodling yet.

Dinner was much healthier, chicken ceasar salad. It was good and roomie is really good at making it.

Wow! I barely ate that day...who cares if most of it was fried!

Day 7. Saturday, January 19:

Breakfast was probably half and bagel and all that good stuff it usually is.

Roomie and I had a busy day of shopping for random fun stuff, so we grabbed lunch at Subway. While it was a fun trip because of the crazy family we saw and some guy who brought a beer to have with his lunch, I had a turkey sandwich but they couldn't give me the avocado! It was the only real reason I was having a turkey sandwich. I wanted to cry into my Dr. Pepper.

We bought yellow cake ice cream at the store and I am starting to believe that it's God's ice cream. Like ridiculously good. I pray we are never over-caking ice cream because I'll die without it.

Tonight I challenged myself to make a crab dip like one that I had in Nashville with my family. While it wasn't bad, it wasn't great or like the dip I had there. Disappointment surrounded me.

However, roomie always knows how to cheer me up...we had fish tacos for dinner! Tilapia tacos. With all the goodies and yummies. I even had avocado on mine. Somedays I think I could eat tacos everyday. But then I realize that we are overfishing and in turn, overtacoing. Plus I also really like hamburgers, so I refuse to give those up.


Oh my god, I swear I no longer eat or drink like this. Wait, I mean just no longer eat. OK, realistically, this could have been my food diary from last week (kidding mom and dad!).

Now I'm excited to do a new one sometime soon after the big move. Oh, and the reason I didn't go into work on that Friday is because I didn't work on Fridays...didn't skip because I was hungover. Just clarifying.
