Food Intake - Day Seven

Diet Pepsi

1 Baby Bella (The last of a bag purchased at Costco)

1 Banana

10 Chocolate Chip cookies

I am now going to blame someone other than myself for my food intake...The Pioneer Woman. I know she didn't shove the food in my mouth, but I'm addicted to her website and the companion, Tasty Kitchen. I curse the day and the friend who directed me to The Pioneer Woman website. Today was probably the fifth time in two months that I've made Malted Milk Chocolate Chip cookies. They are wonderful. Throughout the day I ate at least 10, count 'em, 10... it's the number I'm admitting to.

1 Stir Fry beef & veggie bowl w/white rice

1 Mint ice cream sandwich (Skinny Cow...after all the cookies this seems even more ridiculous)

Tomorrow is Sunday. Day of rest. I need it because I'm pretty tired from all this eating.  It's the stoopidist thing.

Food Intake - Day Six

Diet Pepsi

1 Asian Pear

1 Colby Cheddar cheese stick

1 Banana

A few almonds ...I didn't count...but, I didn't have as many as usual....mostly because I don't really like almonds as well and that's all that's left in jar...those and Brazil nuts which will end up in the garbage when I get down to those.

Does anyone really eat Brazil nuts? Nobody ever ate them and somehow they always made their way into my Xmas stocking. Yes at my house, Santa annually dropped an orange and some Brazil nuts into the toe of my stocking. These are what parents of limited means refer to as stocking fillers...stuff that can cheaply fill up a stocking and not cost an arm and a leg. When my son was little, Santa left him a jar of sweet pickles in his stocking..but he LOVED sweet pickles...I hated Brazil nuts. I sound a little bitter, don't I??? My son left Santa a bowl of M&M's for a snack...no milk & cookies at our house...and guess what??? Santa LOVED them. I've gotten off track again...

2 Handfuls of M&M's

2 Handfuls of Tostitos (When I ran spell check, these are the options I was given for Tostitos- Testators, Tomtits (WTF???), Tomtit's (More WTF???), Testates, Toasties...apparently brand names are unknown to my spell check friend.)

1 Lean Cuisine (I realize the fact the I'm eating "Lean Cuisine" is the most ridiculous thing in the world after eating all of the above...but I really like the Chicken Carbonara)

2 Skinny Cow mint ice cream sandwich bars (Again, ridiculous, but delicious.) All in all, I don't think it's as bad as the days before...but then again, what do I know???  It's the stoopidist thing.

Food Intake - Day Five

Diet Pepsi
1 Banana
1 Baby Bella
10 Jelly Beans (red & white)
1 York Peppermint Patty (mini)

I was doing really good until I started on the jelly beans.

1 Dark Chocolate Milky Way bit
1 Twix mini bit
20 or 30 Almonds
6 or 8 jelly beans
1 Lays Potato Chip lunch size bag

20 (I'm guessing because they were halves) Cashews
5 or 6 Almonds
1 Costco dog grilled on white bread (I'm sooo white trash)
2 Fudge Bars

I start my weekend on Day Six and made the husband bring the Pilates machine in from the shed. (Doesn't everyone keep them there?) I'm going to try to actually use it instead of just letting the cats sleep on it. Why do cats always want to sleep on anything new or different in the room? I'm also debating whether to try the low carb thing. Looking back on my daily diet, it seems like a long shot. Maybe I could switch it up, one day low carb, the next day low cal...I know I'm grasping at straws here, but then again that's what I do....it's the stoopidist thing.

Food Intake - Day Four

Diet Pepsi

1 Orange (It's becoming noticeable that I only eat one of a "healthy" food item but always more than one of something "unhealthy"....see below.)

2 Werthers soft caramels.

2 More caramels.

1 Container of strawberry yogurt. (Activia...it's really good.)

1 Asian Pear.

1 Colby Cheddar Cheese stick

20 + Jelly beans. (I couldn't stop until all the red & white ones were gone...I like to eat them together...I know it's weird but I can't help it. After all the white or reds are gone, I start pairing with pinks, pink & white or pink & red...my final pairing is pink & purple. We're down to yellow, green, and orange which I will not eat.)

1 York Peppermint Patty (fun size)

1 Kit Kat bit

30 Or more cashews

1 Costco dog on white bread (I can't let them go to waste...)

1 Fudge Bar (I cut down)

So I think I did a little better today...I only had one Fudge Bar and I added another piece of fruit. I went to the store and bought some carrots, bread (sourdough of course...for peanut butter toast), Triscuts, oranges, and yogurt. After seeing, in writing, what I ate, I felt compelled to add some "healthier" foods. Somehow it didn't stop me from eating the other junk...If you think about it, I just ate more by adding the "healthy" stuff. How's that going to do me any good?

The carrots I bought are "baby" carrots, the kind you buy in a little plastic bag, ready to eat. My dad once told me that they aren't really "baby" carrots at all, just old, broken, probably rotten carrots that they file down to sell to patsies like me. Have you ever noticed that they tend to get slimy really fast?

It's not that I don't "buy" healthy foods, I do...I actually spend a lot of money on food...I love food. I also waste a lot of food. I go to the store and have all these great recipes that I'm going to cook so I buy all this food, bring it home and put it in the fridge, which, as it turns out, is a superb food rotting machine. I heard a guy once who said crisper bins should be called rotters. He was right. Almost everything I put in rots from lack of attention in spite of my good intentions.

I tried to get the Princess to post her food for the day but she couldn't figure out how to add it so here's her food intake while at work...as you see our food intakes are similar.

Princess Food Tuesday until 2:00 (Day Three)
English Muffin w/butter & Jam
Sweet Tea (very sugary)
Half of a mushroom/jack cheeseburger and fries
Root Beer
2 Mini Kit Kats
1 Mini Twix
1 Slice Muenster cheese
1 Big Cherry Candy Bar
1 Whole roll of wintergreen lifesavers

Apparently I'm not the only one with terrible eating habits (I knew I liked her for a reason)...it's the stoopidist thing.

Food Intake - Day Three

Diet Pepsi

1 Banana.

7 cashews (I must admit I'm tempted to leave off the half nuts. It seems wrong to count half nuts.)

5 or 6 half nuts.

Baby Bella (I'm adding this pre-consuming because I know I'm headed to the refrigerator).

Half of a Mushroom/Jack burger and half an order of fries.

(The Princess and I split...that way I can still keep my top button closed.)

1 Kit Kat bit.

1 Fun sized Kit Kat (the bits are about half of a half of a fun size...a mini morsel).

2 More fun size Kit Kat bars.

1 Miniature Big Hunk.

3 Hand fulls or hands full (I never know...I don't even know if there's supposed to be two "l's" at the end.)

2 Fudge Bars

It's becoming apparent to me that my main diet consists of sugar and fat. Hmmm...do ya think that's why I'm fat? But if I just eat less sugar and fat will my pants get looser? That's all I really want...to be comfortable...forget all this "healthy" stuff. I just want my pants not to be too tight...it's the stoopidist thing.

Food Intake Day Two

Diet Pepsi

Asian Pear...peeled and neatly cut into chunks
(Please God don't let the shame induced addition of fresh fruit into my diet give me the scoots at work...you know how I hate to poop in office bathrooms...I don't want to end up being a sneak-a-pooper.)

Baby Bella cheese wheel

Nuts
(20 cashews, 3 macadamia halves...not even whole macadamias...jeesh)

2 fun size Hershey bars

1 Kit Kat bit (this was really tiny)

1 lunch size bag of Lays potato chips

15 almonds (I'm already resorting to counting them out...I haven't started lying yet)

1 Colby Cheddar Cheese stick

7 almonds (this may work...I've noticeably cut down)

1 small bag of circus animals cookies...the frosted kind. (I know there supposed to be no difference but I like the pink ones best. It doesn't stop me from eating the white ones too though.)

6 or 8 cashews. Costco dog grilled on a piece of white bread w/mayo & ketchup. (Totally white trash I know, but what can I say??? I also love, love, love bologna on white bread w/mayo. I blame my parents for my trashy food likes & dislikes. Since they're both dead, there's nobody to contradict me, now is there? Does that make me an orphan?)

3 bites of left over Rib Eye

Several cashews

Fudge Bar

Fudge Bar

This is kinda embarrassing. I mean, I know I eat a lot of junk, but I eat almost nothing but junk. I don't think I'm this bad all the time. I don't remember how long I said I was going to do this but if it stays like this, the experiment is definitely going to be cut short. I mean, why would someone deliberately humiliate herself (is that supposed to be two words or one?)...it's the stoopidist thing.

Food For The Day

I'm going to try an experiment to see if I can shame myself into eating a healthier diet. Maybe if I actually write down what I eat, I can see the folly of my ways in print and change my bad habits. I'm going to try it for a month...I think...the shame may be to great to bear.

Sunday
Diet Pepsi
Banana
Baby Bella Cheese
(The kind wrapped in a little wax wheel that you peel off...yum)
Colby Cheese Stick
Handful of Pretzels
(probably ten...I should have counted...note to self...next time count pretzels)
Handful of Pretzels
Baby Bella Cheese
(At least an hour elapsed between the handfuls...is that right?...of pretzels)
Klondike Ice Cream Sandwich
Klondike Ice Cream Sandwich
(Yes, I ate two right in a row...only minutes apart)
Nuts
(I opened a new jar of mixed nuts from Costco which I'm now forced to eat since they quit carrying the big cans of Macadamia Nuts...which I'm heartbroken about. I ate sever handfuls of mostly Cashews, Pecans, and Macadamias...of which there are far too few. I don't really like the Almonds and Brazil nuts but after I've picked out the ones I want, I'll eat those too.)
Rib Eye Steak
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potato's
(I spell checked this and chose this option for potato's rather than potatoes...seems wrong to have a toe at the end of your potato...I'm too lazy to actually check and find the correct plural.)
Peas
Fudge Bar
Fudge Bar
(These weren't minutes apart, there was at least a half an hour between them. I think that's an improvement right there.)

Day One has ended. Day Two has begun.

This is probably not the dumbest thing I've done but I may prove myself wrong...it's the stoopidist thing.
