Here you can follow my Food Journal

My goal is to eat healthy foods - nuts, seeds, berries, fruits, veggies, drink lots of water (and since my husband is a Kangen Water associate my beverages, soups, generally anything that uses water is using water from the machine). I am walking (3 or more miles daily with the Leslie Sansone tapes), sometimes I also will do a Slim in Six or Zumba exercise session. As the title of my blog suggests, I will getting the majority of my protein (meats) from the tuna, Salmon and Eggs - though I will be having other fish, chicken and cheese, etc in moderation. Limited processed foods and when eating out goal is to choose the healthiest items from the menu.

diet has been put on hold...

bad me, sad me. so fat and miserable... but - see, there is a beginning to an excuse. a sad excuse. Hubby and I went and celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary. not just on the 23rd (the actual date).. no, we did go to Snookum's for that, but then on the 24th we went to Corinth MS and ate at the China King Buffet, then on the 25th we had breakfast at the Pickwick Inn, another buffet, then for supper on the 25th we had a Pzone at Pizza Hut. on the 26th we had the family pack at Taco bell.... it goes on and on and on. - I really want to get back on track. I did walk my 3 miles today. after 4 days of not walking. - yes, so very fat and so very miserable. I asked my husband if he would love me if I got to 200 pounds, not that I intend to get even close to that, and he said "of course, you love me at 200 pounds don't you?".. then we laughed because he is closer to 250 or even more. - we both are a far cry from the 120 pound me and the 155 pound him of our wedding day. I wish I could say it was due to my good cooking... but... how much of my cooking was involved in the scenerio above. yeah, we eat out wayyyyy too much. I didn't even mention the ice cream cone he had bought for me on the morning of the 25th. we were taking back the rental car and he stopped at dollar general and bought me a snicker drumstick cone. bought him one too. oh and the wild berry large shake from Wendy's that afternoon when he was on his way to the doctor's office to get his foot checked out. - see, I can't lose weight with HIM. but perhaps he will listen to me and us both go on a diet. we need too. and I bought more salmon and rice from Schwan's so we should be able to start eating healthy and balanced meals again.

Salmon Panini


my delicious lunch, grilled salmon burgers (from Schwan's) on thin wheat buns (walmart), roasted corn (baked in the oven with the tusks on, just removed some of the silk), cooked peaches (made on the stove with real butter, sugar and cinnamon, didn't add water or liquid just the peach natural juice). grilled veggies from the farmers market.. bell pepper, banana pepper, squash, cucumber, tomato. used white cheese slices (from walmart) on the salmon, sea salt, fresh ground pepper, EVOO, and dried parsley and dried basil. - very good....

Salmon filet grilled on the george foreman grill, wild rice from Ada's that I cooked on the stove using butter and Kangen water and herbs and salt and pepper. the cranberry sauce was canned, and the lettuce was just grilled for a few minutes. The bread was precooked frozen from Schwan's that i had to put in a 375 degree oven (while still fronzen) for 15 minutes. to drink we had Boatman's carrot juice. for dessert, not shown, a Schwan's orange sherbet push up.
