I've created a separate blog just for my food journal. I'm going to try for one week to go it alone and if this doesn't work, I'm going to Weight Watchers next Saturday, April 21 which would mean I'd miss out on yard sales and pilates.
I had this great idea that if i journal my day's food BEFORE I eat it, I won't spend so much time thinking about what to eat. So this may sound like more than what some people eat but I'm going to try to incorporate whole grains, fruits and vegetables and lean protein. Generally, I don't make a plan.
So let's start with today, April 15, 2007 - the day before my youngest daughter turns ONE - Sunday morning. My goal weight is 145 lbs. So that means I need to lose 33 pounds. If I just lose 2 lbs a week this will be accomplished in four months, by mid-August 2007. :)
My new green cups hold 2 cups of water. I plan to drink 4 green cups a day to equal 64 oz of water.
This plan uses about 28 pts.
Here are the links I used to calculate the points I could have each day and lists of food as well as a points calculator. I'm using a bit of the nursing points since I still breastfeed Cate 2-4 times a day but I'm not taking the full 12 pts.
How I got my points total:
Female = 2 pts
Nursing Moms get 12 pts but I'm taking less = 6 pts
Age 27-37 = 3 pts
Use the first two digits of your weight in pounds. (For example, if you weight 199, you will add 19 to your score.) = 178 = 17 pts
5'1"-5'10": score 1 pt
5. How do you spend most of your day?
Occasionally sitting?: score 2
(Figured since I go to the Y several days a week, I'm not sitting ALL day every day)
TOTAL: 28 pts
Breakfast
Kashi oatmeal w/raspberries made w/milk - 4 pts
Water
Coffee or Tea w/milk and splenda - 1 pt
Snack
1 slice of whole wheat bread w/a approx. 1 tblsp of Smart Balance peanut butter - 1 pt for bread + 2 pts for p.b = 3 pts
Orange - 1 pt
Water
Lunch
Steamed veggies - 0 pts
Veggie burger on whole wheat bun - 3 pts for bun + 3 pts for veggie burger = 6 pts
Water
Snack
2 deviled eggs (to equal 1 egg) - 3 pts
Water
Dinner
Veggies - 0 pts
Brown Rice - 5 pts for 1 cup of cooked rice
Tuna w/lemon pepper (the kind in the pack) - 2 pts
Water
Dessert
Chocolate Snack Pak Pudding or a bowl of cereal - 3 pts for pudding or 2 pts for Total cereal w/milk
