Heavy On The Cottage Cheese

Went for the trusty cottage cheese and fruit breakfast.  Perhaps a little heavy on the cottage cheese this time.

No Cottage Cheese Today

Sesame seed bagel, smattering of cream cheese, cantaloupe. Yum.

Old Faithful

Cottage cheese and fruit again. This time heavy on the blueberries.


And yeah, that's my new copy of Notre Dame underneath the bowl.

First Smoothie From The FooBar

Morning weigh-in: 231.2!

I was running late today, so I grabbed a "Berry Bliss" smoothie from the FooBar at work.  It's just fruit and orange juice. Yum!

If It Ain't Broke...

Morning weigh-in: 231.4.  230, you are in my sights!

More fruit, cottage cheese, and juice today.  That's my mango papaya lemonade there under the dispenser.

Cheese-Filled Lunch And A Sundae

For lunch today, I had the broccoli and cheese soup, a little bit of fancy macaroni and cheese, and a big salad with lettuce, tomato, broccoli, onion, garbanzo beans, mushrooms, corn, and a sesame ginger dressing.



I felt it was light enough that I could have a very small sundae. This is peach cobbler ice cream with real caramel and some bananas.

Healthy Breakfast!

Morning weigh-in today was 231.2 pounds.  Not bad!  I celebrated with a plate of fresh fruit and a little cottage cheese.



Mango orange Thai basil juice.  Had to try it. It was good, but definitely different.

Same Old?

Just some corn flakes for breakfast yesterday, with some soymilk.
Oh, and a peach.
Oh, and the last slice of "Greek pizza".

Fruit And Cottage Cheese Again

Morning weigh-in was 234.8 again.  Really looking forward to making some progress.

I decided to go for the fruit breakfast again.  The juice this morning at the FooBar was really, really good. It was orange raspberry mint!


I also tried a sample of the green tea smoothie.  It was tasty - I may have to get a full one at some point.


And of course, my plate of fruit and cottage cheese.

Healthy Breakfast

Morning weigh-in was a disappointing 234.8. I'm going to have to be a little more strict about second portions, I think.

This morning I went to get an early workout and burned a claimed 436 calories by running for 25 minutes. Afterward, I wanted to work at my desk, but it was too loud because they haven't worked the kinks out of the HVAC yet. So I went down to the cafe for breakfast. I ignored the delicious-looking hot options, and went for the also-delicious-looking fruit options. I got a little bit of lowfat organic cottage cheese, some blueberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, and a little bit of honeydew melon.
I went over to the FooBar and got a sample of the "Berry Bliss" smoothie.
And tried a small glass of their blackberry mango juice. Yum! I was down at the bottom so it was very thick.
Here are some of the other things that were available at the FooBar that I did not take. Those muffins were really tempting.

Frozen Pizza

I was working late last night, so when I got home, I found Kendra had started a Freschetta frozen pizza we had gotten at Safeway for about $3.50. All they had was meat-topped ones and cheese, so we got cheese, but Kendra added on some yellow bell pepper and some pineapple. Yum! The pizza was pretty small, so we both just had half of it.
Afterward, I wanted a light dessert, so I chopped up a peach and had it with some cottage cheese.
I also cut up a peach for Kendra, but she only wanted half, so I had the other half.

Burrito For Lunch

I skipped breakfast this morning since I woke up so late.  But morning-weigh in was 234.8.  Blah.

For lunch today, I had a burrito.  I started with the fixin's: lettuce, salsa fresca, sour cream, and cheese.


Then I added some cilantro lime tofu and some guacamole.


Then I ate it, with a glass of Fresca.

To be honest it was just OK.  I forgot to get some beans and rice, which I wanted.  For dessert I had a piece of mixed berry shortcake with whipped cream, which was also just OK.

A Brilliant Idea

We were over at our friends' house for dinner and games last night, and they had delicious tomato soup with tiny cut up grilled cheese sandwiches! Clearly this is the next evolution in tomato soup eating. The little sandwiches were so cute! I started out with a good bowlful.
And then went back for a little more.
I couldn't resist the huge loaf of delicious banana bread.
Or the sweet strawberries and little fresh tomatoes from their garden.
They also were evil and let me have some of these cute mini peanut butter cups. Posing behind them is their adorable daughter, who celebrated her first day of first grade!

Hot Breakfast!

I forgot to weigh myself today, but I'll try to remember tomorrow. I specifically worked out before breakfast at work today so I could enjoy the first hot breakfast at the new campus. I forgot to take a picture of my plate, but I went back and took pictures of almost everything I had. First, some cottage fries:
Some scrambled eggs:
Some vegan breakfast sausage:
Some cantaloupe and some pineapple (not pictured):
And because I wanted to use my cool cup again, some Fresca.

Breakfast At The New Campus

Morning weigh-in 233.2. Huzzah!

Today was the first day of business at our new campus! I'm really enjoying the fast network speed, but I'll also be enjoying posting about all the yummy things I get to eat here at our new cafe! This morning I went light.  First, a teeny cup of apple carrot ginger juice.


And a banana.


I might get hungry before lunch, but I'm going to try to hold out.

Healthy Dessert

Courtesy of Kendra! Delicious fresh peaches, grapes, pineapple, and some cottage cheese!

Just Strawberries

Morning weigh-in: 234.6!

Since today is the last day in this office, breakfast was extremely limited. I just had a bowl of strawberries.

Just The Fruit This Time

Morning weigh-in was 239.0. I don't know how that's really possible, but I guess I must redouble my efforts.

Even though I arrived at work early enough to have my pick of the bagel selection, I decided just to have a bowl of fruit, some blueberries and some strawberries. Hopefully that will tide me over until lunch, a little over 3 hours from now.

Fruitstravaganza

OK, maybe that's a bit of an overstatement. But I got to eat some strawberries and blueberries this morning. Along with a bagel and some strawberry cream cheese.
Morning weigh-in was 235.6!

Snack Time

A couple of dried apricots and some honey-roasted peanuts.


And some caffeine.
