Tuesday

Well, I'm back.  I got back from vacation Sunday, but yesterday turned out to be a totally craptacular day and I didn't even think about posting food later in the day - I was too busy being upset.  (It was work related so I'd rather not get into it here.)  Oh well, it happens, moving on.

To answer a question in the comments: I live outside Ft. Lauderdale, so Key Largo is less than 90 minutes from my house.

So, food today.  Things were back to normal, starting with coffee and prunes:


Yesterday I bought food but hadn't gotten food prep done, so this morning I scrambled a couple of eggs with a large tomato:


Lunch was a salad, but with a can of tuna since chicken wasn't grilled.




I had a few grapes mid afternoon (no nuts).


Dinner was turkey chili and sauteed zucchini.  My husband doesn't like vegetables in his chili, so I serve them on the side.




Since I started tracking my food, I've been losing right around 2 pounds a week.  Clearly my diet still has room for improvement - I won't pretend that diet pepsi or popsicles are anything other than a serving of chemicals, but my weight loss has been pretty solid in spite of those items.

I haven't looked in on the other folks since I got back. Are people still posting?  I know for me it seems to make a difference, if for no other reason that it forces me to pause and consider before I eat something.

Yes, still posting. I know a few of us got behind, but caught up. I have all of today's pics but will post them tomorrow. I enter everything in My Fitness Pal without fail, so I have a record and I can catch up at any point. Sorry about your craptacular (new word for me) day.

I saw where Allan has taken the Photo Challenge sidebar down, but I'm continuing to post through the end of this week; then I'll post final results. I think I'll be down at least 4 - 5 lbs which is awesome progress for ME.

I am so full of questions for you! TY so much for answering them. :)
The little trays you use for your salads. They make yours salads look store bought. :) Do you buy those or are they a perk of work?

I actually spent my Elem. days in Ft. Lauderdale. I went to Norland Elem & Middle before we moved to Miami. :)

Chili is something that I haven't made in a while -- may include that in my menu next week! I noticed that Allan took off the photo side bar as well -- is the challenge over?

I dunno if his challenge is over. I may continue on in some form, just because it seems to be helping!
