I actually tried to count all my calories for the day. Several things were pretty much just wild guesses, and I'm definitely not going to make a habit of this calorie counting thing - god, what a hassle. But I think today was a relatively average day, and it came out to be roughly 1800 calories or so, so I think I'm probably doing okay.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 pop tart (which, it turns out, does have trans fat. Lame.)
- 1/3 cup of dried apricots
- 5 celery sticks with peanut butter
- 1.5 cups of brown rice
- 1 Quesadilla with mozzarella
- 1 plain tortilla
- 1 cup of cottage cheese with jelly
- 1 garlic bread stick

Food Log 13

I was doing so well today until I got this ridiculous craving for a snack of some kind around 11 at night. I wasn't even hungry, I just really needed to eat something. So I finally broke down and ate probably about 1/4 a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. They're probably not the worst thing I could have gotten, especially considering that my family ate all of the carrot snack packs that I bought for myself, but I should probably avoid them in the future.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Grapenut Flakes
- 1 hard boiled egg (which I just discovered are actually amazingly good for you. weird.)
- 1 blueberry yogurt
- 1/2 peanut butter and jelly sandwich on Matzoh
- 1 plate of pasta with meat sauce
- 1 small Popsicle
- 1 cup of herbal tea
- 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

I kind of slipped with the sweets yesterday, but hey - it was Easter. Give me a break.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Grapenut Flakes
- 1/2 a turkey sandwich
- 1 chocolate chip cookie (and it was soooo good)
- 2 almond roccas
- 5 sticks of celery with peanut butter
- 1 hard boiled egg

Food Log 11

Didn't go nuts today, but still probably ate more than I should have. I'm feeling kind of wonky, which could be the result of the probiotic pills killing off extra yeast in my system, which apparently releases toxins which have flu-like symptoms. Awesome.

- 2 cups of Earl Grey tea
- 1 pop tart
- 1 cup of tortilla soup
- 1/2 a matzoh peanut butter and jelly sandwich
- 1 (last) slice of kugel
- 1 chocolate milk shake

Food Log 10

Today I discovered that there are 50 calories in 1 macaroon. That's just sick. It's freaking bite-sized! How the hell can it have 50 calories?! Needless to say, I think I'll be avoiding them from now on. I'm really terrified to think about how many calories were in the kugel I was eating.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats
- 1 (50 calorie) macaroon
- 3 pieces of Matzoh
- 1 serving of taco casserole
- 1 carrot snack pack
- 1/2 grapefruit

Food Log 9

Today's menu was surprisingly short, but honestly not because I was purposely holding myself back. I just really wasn't hungry. Weirdest thing.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Grapenut Flakes
- 1 bowl of chili
- 1 slice of kugel

Food Log 8

Well, this is really just almost embarrassing to post. I don't always need to be in strict diet mode - in fact, I really have been eating whenever I'm hungry. But I really do need to watch it with things like this. Tonight was too much. I'm still feeling sluggish and uncomfortable. Shouldn't happen again.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats with 1% milk
- 1 piece of Matzoh with cheese
- 1 snack-sized pack of carrots
- 4 celery sticks with peanut butter
- 1 hard boiled egg
- 1/2 cup of Horoset
- 1.5 pieces of Matzoh
- 1 bowl of Matzoh ball soup
- 1 serving of string beans
- 1 serving of Kugel
- 1 slice of apple matzoh cake
- 1 macaroon
- 2 chocolate-covered gel candies
- 2 glasses of wine

Food Log 7

Today I turned down ice cream in favor of celery. Something truly miraculous has happened.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats with 1% milk
- 2 pop tarts
- 1 plate of spaghetti with tomato sauce
- 3 celery sticks with peanut butter

I wasn't really as hungry today as usual, but I also did a little less exorcise, so I probably just didn't really need as many calories to stay full. I'm trying to stay away from yeast for the week (just in time for Passover) as a kind of detox. I have some probiotic pills on the way to help with pretty much the same thing. Eventually I will probably get back to normal eating habits, but as long as I stay away from the cookies, everything's good.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Grapenut Flakes with 1% milk
- PB&J on Matzah
- 4 pot stickers
- 2 cups of brown rice

Food Log 5

I had one kind of calorie splurge for the day, but overall I have been keeping with the diet mindset pretty well. It's just hard when I need snack foods. Need to find healthy snack foods.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Grapenut Flakes with 1% milk
- 1 chocolate milkshake
- 1 plate of fish and chips
- 1 cup of cottage cheese with jelly

Food Log 4

It looks like I ate more today than usual, but it was healthier than the pizza and cupcakes, and I only ate one dinner, so I'm going to call it a success. Besides - it's not about eating less. It's about eating better.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 cup of peppermint herbal tea
- 1 bowl of corn chex with 1% milk
- 1 peanut butter and jelly sandwich
- 1 banana
- 1 bowl of cottage cheese with jelly
- 1 serving of meat loaf
- 1/2 cup of peas
- 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes
- 1 hard boiled egg
- 1 piece of friendship bread

Food Log 3

So, it turned out that tonight's little outing included dinner, which I was not aware of, and so to avoid being rude, I ended up eating two dinners tonight. Not the best way to start a diet. And then there was the beer. So yeah, not chalking today up as a great victory. Will try to do better tomorrow:

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of corn chex with 1% milk
- 1 egg sandwich
- 1 banana
- 1 plate of pasta with white sauce
- 1 slice of garlic bread
- 1/2 chicken caesar sandwich
- 1 bag of potato chips
- 3 beers

I don't know if today's diet was better or worse than yesterday's, but at least I've been snacking less. And I completely avoided the angel food cake brought over by a friend of the family's, so I think today was a major success in the food department.

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats with 1% milk
- 1 banana
- 1 hard boiled egg, salted
- 1 cinnamon raisin bagel with butter
- 1 (last) slice of that veggie pizza
- 1 piece of friendship bread

Food Log 1

So I'm trying to get a look at what I eat regularly, to see what I can do about my current diet. I don't drink soda or eat fast food, which would be the easy things to cut out if I could, so we'll look elsewhere. Not that it's hard to see the problem areas in today's menu:

- 1 cup of Earl Grey tea
- 1 bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats with 1% milk
- 1 banana
- 1 cheese sandwich (2 slices of provolone on wheat bread)
- 1 (last) German chocolate cupcake
- 2 slices of veggie pizza
