Day 10, December 28, 2011

Starting Weight - 211.4

Ok . . . . . . . . . . lets get this under 210 by Friday please?

I'm gonna go see what i have in the kitchen for breakfast :-)

ok, so I'm going down to BRAD BENSON HYUNDAI to probably waste time. Before I go, i will have a quick breakfast/lunch:
1/2 of my leftover penne vodka with chicken from Bruno's. Realize that this is half of the leftovers, which was half of the meal. so i'm eating 1/4 of a meal from Bruno's. Thats pretty impressive if you ask me. Once again, not healthy necessarily, but great portion control and money saving!
This is also avoiding the typical parkway food of a supersized extra value meal from mcdonalds and double hamburger!

Dinner: Home-Made Pad Thai - THANKS KRISTYN!
Snack - 1 ferrero rochet. Just 1. I have 60 of them. I figure i'll eat maximum of 1 per day and they will last me 2 months!!! :-) Kinda a reward for a good day.

btw, Bought a new car today! Hyundai Sonata. Its pretty nice, not gonna lie. Its no Mustang, but it was time to let it go . . . . .

Day 9 - December 27, 2011

Ok, so the first 4 days of J-Doc served the purpose of giving me a buffer zone for the 4 day diet debacle that is Christmas. :-) I lost 4lbs and i gained 4lbs back.

Starting weight - 216.5

This week's goal + Plan:
Save $$ by finishing left-overs from the holidays. These are not the most healthy foods in the world but PORTION CONTROL IS THE NAME OF THE GAME THIS WEEK.

This morning/afternoon, my lunch was: 2 stuffed shells and 1.5 meatballs. This is an amazing feat, considering my normal stuffed shell intake would be AT LEAST 5 and i'd probably have had 3 meatballs. (also, these were smaller meatballs, my mom's are at least 1/3 bigger, and i would have had 3)

So as you see, the "C" in J-DOC this week (which stands for convenience) is in the form of convenient and cheap left-overs. Used properly, these left overs could potentially feed me for 3 days and save me a considerable amount of money when replacing the potential of going out for lunch and dinner.

I'm off to try to buy a car.
see you after dinner!

Dinner - well, i have not been home yet, so i figured i would go see kristyn coach her basketball game at Cresskill. i stopped at Cresskill Pizza, (I KNOW) but i only had 1 slice with sausage and a diet pepsi. pretty good for me :-)

Snack - 3 spoons (not scoops, but spoons) of moose track ice cream, 12 wheat thins and lots of jack and DIET coke.

Verderese - OUT

Day 4, December 22, 2011

Starting weight - 212.0 (up .3 lbs. Nothing you can really do about that. can't lose weight EVERY day!

Ran out of eggs, Luckily we got milk last night!

Breakfast - Cheerios and 2% milk
Snack - 1/2 of a small piece of crumb cake that was in the main office staring me in the face for 3 days. Didn't finish it though. Just wanted a taste.
Lunch - 2 slices of yellow american, 3 slices of low sodium turkey, 7 small plain shrimp, 1 skinny cow ice cream sandwich, 1 munchkin. Diet orange soda (drank it thoughout the morning)
Dinner - not sure where we are going, but we are going to be heading out to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra tonight, so have to get dinner beforehand. I will try to be good :-)

Day 3 - December 21, 2011

Starting weight - 211.7 - WAHOO!!!

Breakfast - 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg, scrambled with 1 piece of taylor ham
Snack - 100 calorie pack
Lunch - low Sodium Turkey, Pepperoni, Yellow American on wheat bread, 4 strawberries
***was given two small pieces of sausage and cheese calzone from 2 different people. It was homemade by one of the lunch ladies and Don T and Don B both wouldn't take no for an answer. it was VERY good! and pretty small, but didn't want to leave it out.
Snack - Apple Juice
Dinner - was a late dinner, since i went to the Emerson Concert, which was very nice, by the way.
Kristyn had dinner waiting for me when i got home! WAHOO!
Whole Wheat pasta with sauce, breaded/baked chicken cutlet, SALAD and seltzer.

Ok, so today i was going to the mall to do Christmas shopping and on the way, I was on the phone (hope none of you are traffic cops in New Milford. I don't want to get a ticket!) ANyway, out of habit, i stopped at 7-11 because that was the obvious thing to do. Got out of the car, went in and realized that i completely was about to get a taquito, chicken finger and red bull (or gatorade.) I was like OH CRAP! I CAN'T DO THIS! I quickly stopped myself and went for an apple juice to hold me over until dinner. Still some sugar, but still a better choice.

December 20, 2011 - Day 2

Starting weight - 216.5

I know, i GAINED weight yesterday. It was undoubtedly from 2 things:
1) obviously the night out at Grants (not only the food, but i was very dehydrated and drank a TON of water there)
2) the fact that on Sunday, i ate all my food before 3pm and then had nothing to eat and barely to drink for the rest of the day, making my monday morning weight prob a little low.

Regardless, not great day, but i definitely definitely definitely feel better already!

STARTING MY GALLON OF WATER TODAY! LET'S SEE HOW IT GOES!!!

Breakfast - 2 egg whites, 1 whole egg scrambled + a slice of taylor ham. 1 glass of orange juice.
Lunch - 1/2 sandwich of roast beef on wheat bread, 1 piece of cheese, skinny cow ice cream sandwich and 3 strawberries.
Snack - 100 calorie pack chip deluxe
Dinner - Grilled chicken on a roll with a little buffalo sauce, a few of Scott's Nathan's Fries.

Now, I must say, i was VERY good tonight, considering I went to the Devils game and Scott bought dinner! I would normally have gotten the chicken fingers and nathan's fries with a Sprite, followed by a carvel ice cream in a waffle cone.

I will check in again in the morning with my weight, but I will tell you right off the bat that I am already down below Monday's start weight, and its the end of the day!

I almost finished my gallon of water. Will have a little more before I go to bed, and i have to remember that i drank a 20 oz water at the game, so i can subtract that from my gallon for the day. I think i finished it! WAHOO!!!! ***WORD TO THE WISE*** If you think you are hungry, drink a bottle of water. You will realize that you were not really hungry! If you are still
hungry, then eat!

Don't worry, I will get more fruits and veggies in the diet once i get a chance to really get rolling. For now, i have a few things, will try to find more, and will continue to focus on PORTION CONTROL, which is my biggest problem. Must eat enough for just one person, not an entire family!

SEE YOU TOMORROW!! Thanks for following.

Monday, December 19, 2011

Day 1 - December 19, 2011

Starting weight - 215.3

Breakfast - 2 egg whites, 1 whole egg, scrambled with 1 piece of taylor ham, 1 bottle of water

Lunch - Grilled Chicken on Rye Bread. (dry), 1 bottle of diet sprite. (I know i need to do more water, they just didn't have full gallons there, so i have to go get some for myself.)

Snack - Granola Bar

Dinner - Turkey (low sodium) Pepperoni and Yellow american on Wheat bread. with skinny cow ice cream sandwich and 100 cal pack. (i know, 2 snacks, but i am REALLY hungry and i have a concert in 1 hour, so i can't be feeling sick due to a typical 1st day of diet weakness)

Snack - ok so its not how day 1 should have ended but i still take to the grave that it was better than it woudl have been. Had to go to Grant's after concert, since the one teacher who helped out wanted to go. Tried getting just a bowl of ice cream, had none. Tried getting a soup, had none. Ended up with the chili with some chips. of course Kristyn had wings and i had 3 of them (small) and Steve got a sandwich and tried to give me his fries. I only ate about 1/3 of them, but still. Had a TON of water too. Gotta try to avoid these, but again, if you knew what i usually would have eaten there, you'd know this was not tooooooo bad.

What I WOULD have done today that I avoided:
Breakfast - had to swerve back onto the road instead of picking up 2 glazed donuts at 7-11 and a red bull.
Lunch - most likely a buffalo chicken cheesesteak at Cresskill Deli. When i ordered my grilled chicken on rye, she said "are you on a diet or something? We'll see tomorrow when you order a large #6." I guess its that obvious with me! hahahaha
Dinner - Cresskill Pizza - buffalo chicken slice, another slice, garlic knots and apple juice.
Snack at Grants - 5 meat bar pie with buffalo sauce and 2-3 beers

IT'S BAAAACCCCCKKKK!!!!!!!!

hey everyone! I'm back and fatter - - - - i mean BETTER than ever! :-) Its time for another shot at the J-Doc Monoblogs. I have slipped into an overeating oblivion, most notably this weekend with a Christmas Party, date nite with Kristyn, and another great Giants Tailgate. (notice I didn't say great giants GAME, because THAT was a joke!)

Just to give an idea of yesterday's disgrace - i had a 3 alarm fire bratwurst, a hamburger with taylor ham, a bacon cheeseburger bratwurst and a cheesesteak, as well as about 4 munchkins and a chocolate chip cookie. That was all before 3:30pm yesterday, and then i slipped into a food coma which I finally came out of this morning. Needless to say, its time for a change!

Anyway, Its time to get back on track and stop being a moron. My first round of Blogging a few years ago led to a 28 pound weight loss, from 221 down to 193. I have grown back up to 215 and am ready to knock this out. Its not a new year's resolution, since I am starting it now. I want to try to avoid using the Holidays as an excuse. SOOOOOO, for all of you who had been following and enjoying, here we do again! its the "Joe's Diet Of Convenience Mono-Blog" BACK AGAIN!!!!!!!!

See you soon!!!!
