Today: June 24
- Breakfast: Ham, egg & cheese biscuit from BK, with medium sweet tea
- Lunch: Barbeque with 1 1/2 bun, beans, and a few bites of brunswick stew, with lots of sweet tea. But I gave BD my fries!
- Dinner: BD's grilled chicken drumsticks, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, steak seasoning, sage and cajun spices; italian green beans with potatoes from a can, and a little bit of yellow rice. 1 Mike's Hard Lemonade.
- Dessert: about a cup (!) of Mayfield Moose Tracks Ice Cream. Am needing some water today, but that will be it for the night. **Changed my mind - I want a glass of milk!**
Yesterday: June 23
- I think I skipped breakfast again, but I might have had cereal.
- Lunch: 8 hot wings and fries, with a large sweet tea.
- Snack: 100 calorie granola bar by Quaker (chocolate chunk - yum!)
- Dinner: Unfortunately late meal from Japanese place at the mall (Sakkio) of chicken teriyaki with rice and veggies. I ordered light rice, but I think they made it heavy. I managed not to eat it all, though.
Thursday: June 22
- Breakfast: I think this was the day I ate . . . no, this was the day I fell down the stairs. But I think this was the day I ate the Kelloggs' Special K with the berries, and whole milk. Yuck on the milk.
- Lunch: Bad. Bad, bad, bad. 1 egg roll; 1 cup of egg drop soup; half a takeout container of house fried rice; 3 steamed gyoza. Large sweet tea, followed by small lemonade.
- Dinner: negligible, after huge, bad lunch. Maybe half a cup of Hamburger Helper (hey, I was tired) and F2O.
Wednesday, June 21
- Breakfast: I think I skipped it again, and had a trail mix bar and a water at the office.
- Lunch: I was supposed to eat leftover barbeque, but instead got invited out to Mexican with the girls, and so had lots and lots and lots of chips and salsa and cheese dip, and then a shrimp quesadilla with rice, smothered in lettuce, sour cream and guac. Lots of sweet tea.
- Dinner: I can't remember - must have been unremarkable. The kids and I went to the grocery store, I remember that. . . oh, yeah. BD and I had steak, the kids had hamburgers, and we also had fresh broccoli stir fried with onions and a bit of Dale's Sauce for flavah. Steak and broccoli - that was it. I figured the steaks were so huge, who needed a starch? But I gave the kids fruit.
- Dessert: Chocolate angel food cake with fresh sliced strawberried stewed up in brown sugar, with whipped cream. . . mmmmmmmmm. Lots of water.
I find that we are not large dessert people, but had to go with the ice cream tonight - Kroger had them on sale, pints of Mayfield were $10 for 10. A Dollar for a pint of good ice cream? I got 4. But am dyign to try out the Haagen Dasz Mayan Chocolate - have never had choc. and cinnamon before. Whee!

Okay, Ms. Diet Hawk Lady will now ATTEMPT to healthify your menu:
Breakfast--a sandwich with english muffin would be better than biscuit (I actually make those at home, either with a poached real egg or scrambled Egg-Beater), but not too terrible if you don't do this every day--you can lower the cholesterol here by removing the egg, OR by having the sandwich open-faced. REGULAR tea or coffee with the artificial sweetener of your choice.
Lunch: 1 1/2 bun?? How does that happen??? Have you bbq sandwich open faced--white hamburger buns are really worthless pieces of crap..., beans, non-sugared tea or diet soda. (would be nice if there was even one item of fruit or vegetable matter in any of above meals--hard to find at fast-food, but not impossible-- EVERYONE has salads, and a lot of fast food joints offer some kind of fruit cup on their breakfast menu--if BK does not, they should be ashamed!
Dinner: TWO not FOUR drumsticks (is there no white meat here?), beans sans potatoes, maybe 1/3 c. rice. Wine or beer over hard lemonade-- hard liquor plus sugar=mega calories. 1/2 c. of ice cream (and that is a very small amount-- basically a really wimpy scoop--if you like more, do yourself a favor and get low-fat and/or sugar free ice cream--Edy's is really tasty! Vanilla yogurt with fruit is also a nice creamy idea for a dessert.
No breakfast--not good if true.
Lunch--sigh, nothing here of any real nutritional value, but sure to increase your, er, bottom line... Have some baked, roasted, or grilled chicken, and if it comes with skin (or shudder) fried--take the skin off. A vegetable other than potato.
Hey, drink all the tea you want--gallons of it! But NO sugar! (of course, the caffeine in gallons of tea would not be too good either)
Dinner: Eat plenty of chicken and veggies--skip the rice. Or--if you must have rice, scoop about 1/2 cup into your entree and leave the rest.
Breakfast: Special K--happeeee! Skim or one percent. Have some fruit.
Lunch--steamed gyoza and soup. Skip the eggroll and the rice and instead have some veggies--garlic broccoli, spice beans, stir-fried mix, take your pick! Nix the tea! Or have the hot house tea! If you need something sweet or sweet-tart, replace the sweet tea and lemonade with a diet soda.
That's all I can do. But I can say this, again, and with conviction--if you did nothing but cut the sweet tea and the fried rice out of your menu--and that alone--you would probably lose a pound or two! And, hey--don't focus on the BAD--focus on the GOOD--as in good for you!
