OK I have been on vacation in Turkey the past 2 weeks and have not had regular access to posting and internet and such but I am back. To some up the past 2 weeks of food I ate some Turkish, some Greek, some fat, some slim, some crap and some not. There you go folks.
I am now back in my home eating a bowl of 7 grain cereal for breakfast and feeling virtuoso about it. I also ate a piece of Turkish fruit leather with walnuts in it.
My virtuous eating took a nose dive after getting to work. I ate several Turkish delight candies then had leftover spaghetti for lunch. After lunch I caved into the ubiquitous treats-- chocolates, cookies, cheezies, etc. I stopped the fatness at 3 when I left work and went for a long walk. then I went grocery shopping for decent food. While making a salad for work I munched on raw veggies and ate a few more pieces of the Turkish fruit leather. its done now and I am ready for better days ahead .

Another day to be home and run errands and do home type stuff. I started the stomach portion of my day with 2 slices of toast with peanut butter and jelly and a half slice of bread with cheese. As soon as daylight comes I will be out for a walk.
2 apples and a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch.
I cooked a turkey for the church Christmas party then made stuffing. I had a few bites of the stuffing while making it.
At the dinner I ate a small piece of turkey breast, and small serving of mashed potatoes, 3 pickles and a wheat bun. For dessert I had a piece of sugar free berry cheesecake, a piece of pecan pie, a piece of pecan cake, (I was focused on the nuts, thinking they were a healthier option than the Nanaimo bars) and then I had a small piece of almond roca, a cookie, and a piece of pumpkin cake. I think I am done now.

I am having a wonderful day off at home catching up with my home life. I had 7 grain cereal with dates and maple syrup for breakfast then worked at shoveling out my house for a few hours then had toast (2 slices) with peanut butter and jelly for lunch along with a carrot. I am now going to have a nap.
After a nap and some more cleaning I ate a few raw cashews and a fiber one bar.
Supper was quinoa pasta with tomato sauce some cheese and broccoli. Dessert was 2 mints. 
Bedtime snack; 2 slices of toast with peanut butter and jelly. I like my toast.

I ate 7 grain cereal with dates and maple syrup for breakfast. Life is much better with sleep and no sugar. I had a 6" turkey subway for lunch and a small bag of sun chips. The sandwich wasn't that good. I had a handful of trail mix too.
For supper I ate the other half of my subway sandwich but not all of it. It wasn't that good. And I had another handful of trail mix and a small bag of baked chips.
I worked late then went to my CHIP meeting where we ate mashed potatoes, veggie chili, and some beet vegetable dish. And a slice of whole grain bread. I didn't eat it all. too full.

During my afternoon meeting I ate 3 chocolates that were there on the table. Then I ate a small piece of spicy plum loaf.

So today I am going back to the hot cereal option and ate 7-rain cereal with dates and maple syrup and a banana for breakfast. I have an ant problem that I need to deal with rather than just ignore, deny, avoid etc. Must figure that out today before they totally take over my kitchen.
I ate a handful of veggie chips morning snack then ate a whole grain rice bowl for lunch and some carrot sticks.
Mid afternoon I ate 2 pieces of cheese and a handful of trail mix then another piece of cheese and a banana after work before heading out to finish my grand daughter's quilt. I also had a piece of spicy plum loaf that someone made for the nursing staff.
I had supper out-- a piece of chicken, spoonful of beans, small potato and then a piece of pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing.
I lost my cell phone and couldn't find it when I got home this evening so I ate a cheese sandwich. Not sure what I thought that would do. But I found my cell phone after eating it so it must have worked.

After fasting I ate a banana and a cheese sandwich. There's nothing like a cheese sandwich. Then I ate a modest bowl of veggie chips-- crunchy and tasty.

I spent the day in Spokane with friends. We planned to leave at 0730. I woke up at 0727 threw on some clothes and was out the door at 0734. I did not comb my hair.
So I ate dried apples on the way to Spokane. Did not have food again until we were at the church book store where they served free chocolate covered cinnamon bears. I ate 3. By the time we had lunch it was 3:00 p.m. when we stopped at Panda express. I ate a plate of brown rice, green beans with chicken and beef broccoli. My fortune cookie said that I should listen to my heart. I listened but it wasn't saying anything.
At Costco I ate some cheese and cracker samples. A few hours later I had a bag of almonds then half a turkey sandwich. Got home late after 11 p.m. and ate 3 slices of reduced fat Swiss cheese. I am now off to bed.

It is very cold today, and I will try not to let the cold be an excuse to pig out on sugar today. Just for today. I ate 3 scrambled eggs for breakfast, and a handful of raw cashews and dried apples.
Midmorning I ate 2 oranges and 2 wheat thin crackers. Lunch was a tuna sandwich.
Afternoon snacks included some corn chips, almonds, caramel popcorn and 4 chocolates and some trail mix. My colleagues are too generous with their treats.
After work I got a hot chocolate at 7-11 while gassing up my car. Then I went to host at our church crèche and ate  5 shortbread cookies while there. And now I am done.

I had tuna in my head this morning so I ate a can of tuna for breakfast and 2 chocolate chip cookies. Random, I know.
Later in the morning I ate a few corn chips that were at work and a piece of cheese. For lunch I ate  a cheese and lettuce sandwich and cabbage salad.
After work I ate 4 chocolate chip cookies, then had appointments after which I ate a turkey sandwich and went quilting until bedtime. I am done now and grateful that I didn't eat any shortbread today.

Tuesday, 3 December 2013

Insomnia last night-- bracing myself for a difficult food day. I started with 3 pieces of toast with peanut butter and jelly. I hope  this will keep me from eating until lunch when I will crack open another can of spicy bean soup and pound back some cabbage salad.
I couldn't get an IV started so I ate some stale popcorn left over from night shift. And I ate a reeses peanut butter cup.
I ate the spicy black bean soup and cabbage salad for lunch. Before that I ate 3 oranges and the rest of that chocolate bar I started at work yesterday. And I ate a couple mints.
On the way home I ate 4 shortbread cookies. They're supposed to be for our church crèche display this weekend so I better stop eating them. Then I went out for lovely walk in the sunny crisp air and now I am eating dried apples and pistachios for supper.
I was out for the evening and had a hot chocolate, fiber 1 bar and 2 chocolate chip cookies. I officially have a belly ache.

Lovely snowfall going on this morning as I prepare myself for another shift in the emergency department. Breakfast is my usual 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter and jelly and I have added a handful of pistachios.
Nothing until lunch when I ate a serving of baked salmon and cabbage salad.
My afternoon binge kind of got away with me. I ate 2 packages of low fat snack bites then 4 mandarin oranges.
Supper was a bowl of spicy black bean soup and some more cabbage salad and 2 pieces of cheese. Some chocolate was calling my name and I succumbed to 12 small pieces of lindor chocolate bar. Then I ate a piece of shortbread. I have brushed my teeth and called a stop now I am home and away from the treats that torment me in my work place.
