Food Diaries

So I think I will be doing this on a weekly update.  Maybe something like update on Sundays, and do a little reflection with it.  I will say that after talking with the lactation people I should add 500 extra calories each day if I am able to keep breastfeeding, but with the free program, myfitnesspal.com, there is not an option for breast feeding, so I know I can go in the red 500.  And I will be shooting for that.  I am still working on format issues, so we are still in a transition mode.

So here is what we have.....

So the hush puppies were left over from the weekend, and were calling my name. Then after a frustrating day I drank some soda and ate the bridge mix....I could have made better choices. We made homemade pizza for dinner and when the calories were figured out it came to 610 for half of the pizza.

A little harder of a day, because I had a friend over for lunch, and she brought left over birthday cake....I mean who can resist cake, not me.  I did eat a small piece and left all of the edge frosting....that was SUPER hard for me!  Then I had dinner with some friends, and I just wasn't feeling another salad. I had to make my best guess on the calories, as I couldn't find the nutrition info for the exact restaurant. I think I was a bit more than over 222.  

Well, I like this format enough, but I think I will do weekly updates.  Putting it out there hasn't been too bad, but honestly the weekend is the harder part of the week to make good choices. So until the next time....
