Coffee x 3.


Left over dinner from last night. About 3/4ths cup. And a banana.


Lunch. About 10 grapes. 3 pieces of tofurkey, a little less than half an avacado, less than 1/4th cup garbonzo beans and some broccoli.


Dinner. 16 grapes, 1 slice tofurkey (my son ate the other), 2/3rds of a cheese stick, 2 slices of an orange.

I think its pretty obvious that I just wasn't into making food today. I am dealing with a stressful situation and my eating changed because of it. Not stoked about it, so tomorrow is back to mostly veggies.


I drank a bottle over the course of the night. Then one today, working on my second. I WILL have had 4 by the time I go to bed.

2 of these. Really enjoying the pumpkin pecan creamer!


Breakfast was left over dinner from last night. It's what I wanted! I also had a banana.



Lunch. Half an avacado, 3 slices peppered tofurkey, about 5 baby carrots, some broccoli, about 10 grapes. I actually felt guilty about this lunch because of the fat in the tofurkey and avacado. Keeping in mind that I do still need SOME fat and better early in the day so I have plenty of time to work it off.


I was feeling odd and could see myself eating crap. I figured coffee is a comfort drink for me so better this than....cheesecake.



4 of these! 8 glasses of water. I also had the last of my diet ginger ale. I am officially a water drinker, not a diet soda drinker. I won't be buying any more except on special occasions.


Dinner. I was a little tired of zucchini and broccoli, so I made...this. It was actually good and because the beans are a little heavy I opted to only have half of what I made. The rest is breakfast.

Coffee please...x2

2 poached eggs with dill butter and a few fries.

I had my comfort food today, well one of them. I tried to make them healthier by leaving out milk and butter and they were great! I used mushroom soup and a packet of au jus mix for the gravy.

Bag of chips

Small bowl of fruit is all I wanted for dinner. I drank lots of water today and it filled me up :)

I had 2 cups of coffee.

I was just not hungry today so I took advantage of it and didn't eat much. I had a 12" cheese and veggie sandwich, half of which I ate in my car at the park. The other half I ate around 5 with Doritos and a chocolate milk.

One large glass of wine.

Well, I ate in the middle of the night. I got up at 3am and ate the rest of the box of strawberries. There were probably 10-15 in it. I'm not happy that I ate in the middle of the night but I'm also not going to be too hard in myself because I could have eaten something carb-filled. I limited breakfast because of my middle of the night mess up and also because I wanted to drink as much.coffee as I wanted because I got new creamer (yum!).



3 cups (at least they were small).




1/4th cup milk and a little less than 1 cup of multigrain cheerios for breakfast.


I ate this at about 3:00. Just not totally hungry today. Tried to finish it all but there was a little left.


Dinner. A zucchini, half of a bell pepper, celery, 5 mushrooms, onions, broccoli. Cold salad with cucumber, tomato, half a cheese stick and salt/pepper. About 1/4th cup soy crumbles.


3 of these. So, 6x8oz..6 cups. Not terrible. Also finishing off my diet ginger ale tonight.

Karen's weekly blog

 This first week of logging everything I eat, has certainly made me think twice about what I put into my mouth.

It's been challenging. Living in the same house with my husband after calling it quits, has made the atmosphere odd, to say the least. The kitchen situation is especially awkward. Guilt, anger and resentment make it difficult to eat. If it wasn't for this blog and having to take pictures of what I eat, I probably would not be eating or I would be eating fast food.

I eat too many carbs when I'm depressed. I'd like to set big goals for next week but I'm afraid to. I think it's better to have small expectations right now.

           Goals for week #2


                                            *Do weight exercises 3 days
                                            *Eat more fruits and veggies 
                                            *Drink some water everyday

Kate's food log for November 12th.




Coffee, as usual. Used a smaller mug today. 2 cups.



Breakfast. Faux sausage patty. 3 slices tomato. 1 cup multigrain cheerios with 1/4th cup milk and 1/2 banana.



This was lunch. Kind of. I ate around 4:00 because I napped. This meal is really embarrassing and doesn't represent what I want to be eating or what I usually eat at all. 1 slice buttermilk bread with 1 and 1/2 pieces of faux bacon, 1 half slice American cheese, tomato and about a teaspoon of light mayo. I also cooked 2 small heads of broccoli. I will NEVER buy 6 heads of broccoli at a time again. I feel obligated to eat them every meal and today I steamed them..until they were over cooked. So they stunk and weren't even good. Also, I never buy white bread (I know I haven't since I've been living on my own), same with American cheese. I don't know why I bought either of them and won't be doing it again. So, this meal was kind of nasty and I felt guilty about it too.




My middle son and I shared this. Dinner was 17 grapes, 1 medium banana, about 7 baby carrots, 1 cheese stick and 6 strawberries. I just wasn't in the mood to cook after lunch.

I also had about a litre of diet ginger ale. No water.
