Well today was a really cold day here, and I could hardly stay warm. It was a boring day at work, really slow for business today. Those days just aren't fun at all because they seem to drag on and on and on. I would prefer for a busy day that goes by really quickly. I watched Rosalie's new youtube video today and I really thought the shirataki stir fry she made looked delicious. So tonight at the grocery store, I got what few ingredients I didn't have and made that. MMMMMMMM It was so delicious so I recommend everyone to try.
What I ate today:
Breakfast - Egg, ham, and cheese sandwich using the thin buns and grilled on the george forman grill.
Lunch - Turkey deli slices and mixed nuts. I forgot the cheese and stuff for the rest of my lunch so I had a very small lunch today.
Dinner - Stir fry (the recipe from Rosalie's blog) But I didn't use shirataki noodles tonight. I just wasn't that hungry and they are very filling. I justs used chicken breast (the thin ones), mushrooms, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, and the curry, braggs, cornstarch mixture. It was soooooooo yummy. I could eat this several times a week I think. =)

Weigh In Day and Start of Week 4
Well this morning was my weigh in day and it wasn't as much as I expected. But not going to let that get me down. I just thought earlier in the week when I showed I was down to 208 it was going to stick. Well just goes to show ya, that isn't always the case. Us women fluctuate so much with our weight its crazy. I was 212.4 last weeks weigh in and this morning I was officially 211.0 (1.4 lbs. lose). I will take that, because anything is better then nothing right?!! ;)
I watched Rosalie's new you tube video today. It was very helpful and answered lots of good questions. I think I am going to take her advice and try my best this week to stop eating carbs after 3 and stop eating by 7:00 at my best. The stopping eating by 7 is a little hard for me since I don't get home until 6 from work and then sometimes dinner can take me a while to cook, but I will do my best. I wanna see if it helps with a little extra weight lost this week.
Todays Eats
Breakfast - a tiny bit of my breakfast casserole (I actually was sorta tired of eating this for a whole week so I couldn't finish) I think this week I will try something new for breakfast. Plus I had my coffee, creamer, and truvia.
Lunch - 3 slices of turkey deli meat and two pieces of cow pals cheese with bottled water
Dinner - Leftover fried pork chop that I made my hubby the other night. I didn't wanna eat it because it was fried, but I did fry in canola oil so I don't think its actually that bad. I also had some steamed cauliflower/broccoli mixture with a little soy sauce mixed in the veggies. With that, I added a little side salad of romaine lettuce, cheddar cheese, and bacon bits w/ Newman's Own family recipe dressing.
Todays snack - 2 corn tortillas, 1/4 cup of black beans, with some fresh Honduran cream and cheese. (I normally don't eat snacks like this, but my hubby is from Honduras and his good friend brought back some fresh cream and cheese from Honduras and I had to try since I have never had. I did only have a very very small amount) I still didn't go over my counts for today though, so I guess its still okay. I copied my nutrition facts from fatsecret.com below for the whole days food.

Super Bowl Sunday
Well today isn't looking so great for my food choices. I will admit, I have been bad. I hope it doesn't affect my weigh in tomorrow.
Breakfast - small blueberry bagel with cream cheese and butter, with water
Lunch/Dinner - two oven baked chicken drumsticks and a 1/2 cup of rice that had little pieces of sausage in it and here is the bad part......I had pepsi to drink ughhh!! I don't know what I was thinking, I just needed some caffiene over at a friends house and there was no coffee. I slap myself for this choice!! argh!!!
Superbowl snack - wheat tortilla chips and homemade guacamole
Well the Pepsi really was the only bad choice today and I hope it doesn't hurt my weigh in too bad tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the start of week 4 and so far I have lost 12 lbs. so all in all, not to bad, I am actually really proud of myself so far.
Everyone watching the superbowl? I bet so. But I just wanna say I am really disappointed in this years super bowl commercials. They aren't as good a previous years at all. Boo!! But I am looking forward to the half time show with the Black Eyed Peas. =)
Recipe for my Breakfast Casserole (12 servings)
1 cartoon of egg beaters (approx. 15 eggs)
1 pound of your favorite sausage (I used mild country sausage)
OR you could use ham
2 cups of cheese (I used cheddar)
1 cup of mushrooms
1/2 cup of onions
First cook your sausage until browned and then drain the grease. Add mushrooms and onions, sautee until soft. Grease a 13 x 9 casserole pan. Mix all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and pour into the casserole dish. Cook at 400 for about 30-40 minutes or until golden brown on top. When your using egg beaters versus real eggs, the top of the casserole will inflate a pretty good bit, but don't worry this is normal. When you take it out of the oven, just take a fork and sorta help push down the light fluffy egg top so it stays flat and WALA! You have a yummy BFC casserole.

Week 3 Friday and Saturday Eats
Okay well no new news today, but just thought I would post my food eating for the past two days. This helps me be accountable for what I eat, plus I always like sharing my ideas. Again I like to see when others post what they eat on their blog, because sometimes it helps me get an idea for a meal too. So here it is:
Friday
Breakfast - my homemade breakfast casserole
Lunch - chicken salad (homemade) I made with chicken, celery, and cucumbers and put on top of a little romaine lettuce. It was really pretty yummy and very filling with all the cucumbers and celery. : )
Dinner- nacho/taco salad from Taco Depot. Me and hubby went out to eat. This is what I saw to be one of the lowest calorie things. Because I only ordered the half order of nachos (probably only had about 15-20 small chips. (I counted hehe!!) So this stayed under my two carb serving limit.
Saturday
Most Saturdays I go to help my grandmother at her house or help her run some errand since she can't drive long distances. Well she generally likes to go out to eat or makes these huge lunches for me. I told her I have been on a diet so nothing she makes can be unhealthy, hehe!!) Anyways...I didn't eat breakfast because I sleep in so late and then wanted to save room for whatever lunch I had out with her. So I just got a coffee from Quiktrip and I forgot Truvia so I had to use Splenda (even though I know were not suppose too) woopsie!! For lunch she wants Steak N Shake, because she loves there milk shakes. Luckily I don't like there milk shakes hehe so it wasn't hard to watch her have one while on this healthy lifestyle of eating. Well I just had a Frisco melt, which came in right at my carb serving limit. I believe the sugars in this special frisco sauce was right at the limit, but I didn't think the little bit on the bread would hurt. Just goes to show you how some little amt. can go a long way in sugar grams. For dinner I wasn't that hungry since lunch really filled me up. I just made a little pizza quesadilla with ragu pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese.
Well hope everyone is having a great weekend!! Good luck BFC'n!! : )
Hope everyone gets to watch the Super Bowl tomorrow, I love the commercials, CAN"T WAIT!!! =)

Week 3 Thursday What I ate...
Well another day for success thank goodness on this healthy plan of eating. I am pretty excited I have stuck to it this long already. There has been a few cravings here and there for something like my regular big glass of milk just before I go to bed, something sweet, or something salty. But all those cravings, I just tried to be strong and hold out. If I was really just dying to have something, I would try to have a big glass of water to fill my empty belly. I try to fill up on extra salad at dinner time so that I won't be hungry for a snack after dinner. This has all helped tremendously!! =) Yesterday I talked about some of my diet choices being to fatty and I appreciate the input from Sherri and Kasey. Thank you girls!! I figured out why yesterdays meal was so high in fat. I really guess I knew before I ate yesterdays meal choices, but I was so focused on carbs and sugars, I sorta just over looked the fat intake part. Anyways, the sausage in my breakfast casserole, the pepperoni in my wraps, and the ribeye steak was all the reason for the fat yesterday. I need to only choose to have one of these fatty kind of meats every once in a while and stick with more lean meats. I wasn't even thinking, but now I know. : ) I don't want to end up being nice and skinny with millions of clogged arteries. So now I am going to start watching my fat intake a bit too. Going to try to keep it around 60 or 70 g and as I get skinnier maybe decrease it a bit.
What I ate today:
Breakfast - My homemade breakfast casserole
Lunch - 2 pieces of salami, three pieces of turkey lunch meat, and two pieces of cowpals cheese
Dinner - Grilled tuna patties, garlic steamed cauliflower, and side salad
Nutrition count for the day: copied from my fat secret food journal

Too much FAT??
I was just doing some thinking and I wonder if anyone knows the answer to this question?....
When following the BFC, I know your only suppose to mainly watch carbs and hidden sugars....but my question is what about FAT? I don't know if its the great idea to eat things high in fat. Like for example todays food line up:
Breakfast - my homemade breakfast casserole and coffee
Lunch - two homemade pizza pockets (made with two low carb wraps, pepporoni, and mozzarella chz.)
Dinner - ribeye steak, broccoli, and side salad with newman's own family recipe dressing
I enter my food most days on this site called www.fatsecret.com and todays count for my foods are this:
I cut and paste the top of the nutrition facts from my food entries. 165 g of fat seems like a lot to me. I don't know though, because the diet seems to work and of course is suppose to be healthy. I was just wondering as I sit here bored at work. I know Jorge Cruise does talk about good fats for your body like butter and cheeses etc. It just got me to thinking and I wondered what everyone else take was on this?
Let me know your opinion. = )
Thank you!!

Week 3 -- Feb 1st.
Well I can't believe its February already!! Where has the time gone? This morning a crazy thing happened...I stepped on the scale just for the heck of it and it read 208.0 and Monday morning the scale had said 212.4. Is it possible for me to have lost weight in a day? I can't report it as a lose yet, because I know we all fluctuate up and down all the time. So I guess I will have to wait and truly see on Monday, but for now it was an exciting moment. : ) So I will take the moment and be happy. hehe!!! Still trying to get rid of all this sinus junk, its so annoying and I am just so ready to be over the cold completely. Maybe this week will be my last, I really hope so!!
What I ate today:
Breakfast -- Breakfast casserole made with eggs, sausage, sauteed mushrooms and onions and coffee
Lunch -- Pizza pocket (made with one low carb wrap, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese)
Dinner -- Tilapia and some small shrimp sauteed with lemon butter and garlic and half zucchini
I am not eating that many carbs this week because I am trying to catch up with the days I was off my BFC eating last week due to my cold. I want a good lose this week because my ultimate goal is 70 lbs. and of course I would love that off by the middle or end of the summer. I would love it to come off before summer, but I know that isn't logical to happen that fast. I can dream right. I know from seeing others that weight isn't going to come off that quickly. It may take me a year to get to my ultimate goal, but I am trying to shoot for at least 10 lbs. a month. Anyways thanks for reading. : ) Gotta finish up because its time to watch the Biggest Loser now.
Good luck with everyone's BFC choices this week! =)
