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!



More Cereal

Sunday I had more cereal. Morning weigh-in was 233.2.

Lunch As The First Meal Of The Day

Morning weigh-in on Friday was 234.4 pounds.  I seem to be fluctuating a lot.  I also wound up skipping breakfast.  Lunch at work was a crab cake and fake crab (tofu) cake with remoulade, a strange nori and potato roll with sweet chili soy sauce, one cheese-stuffed manicotti, and a miniature elephant ear (very miniature).


The crab cakes were not really to my liking, so I went back for a big salad with spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, tofu, garbanzo beans, onion, avocado, and honey sesame ginger dressing.


They had a cake shaped like a milkshake, so I had to have a little of that.

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.

Raisin Bran

Morning weigh-in was 232.2. Could be better.  For breakfast? Some raisin bran diluted with bran flakes, and some soymilk.  For some reason, straight raisin bran is just too raisiny and sugary for me.  Why must they coat the raisins with sugar? Usually I like to just buy bran flakes and add my own unsugared raisins.



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.

Corn Flakes Again

Morning weigh-in: 232.8!

Just a humble bowl of corn flakes for breakfast this morning.

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.

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.

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.

More Cereal

Morning weigh-in was 234.8. Nothing special.

Breakfast was an illustrious bowl of raisin bran, followed by an only slightly less illustrious bowl of corn flakes. Both were with soymilk.

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Morning weigh-in was 234.4, 234.8, or 235.8, depending on which reading you trust.  Personally, I'm inclined to go for the first one.

Breakfast this morning was just a bowl of corn flakes with soymilk.

Snacks At Mini-Golf

At an offsite for work today. Morning weigh-in was 234!

I forgot breakfast so at the course I got a diet soda and ate a little candy: some apple and watermelon rings.

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!

Heavy On The Blueberries

Morning weigh-in was 236.6 again. Blah.

Breakfast, on the other hand, was not blah. My signature smoothie, but a little heavy on the blueberries.

No Surprises Here

Sesame seed bagel with a little bit of cream cheese and bowl of raspberries and strawberries. Morning weigh-in was 236.2.

Noise

Morning weigh-in was an even 237 pounds.  I realize it is just noise, but it certainly isn't encouraging.  Since it's just an hour and a half until lunch, I think I'll skip breakfast.
