OK I'll admit

I knew that documenting my every meal would be a challenge, but I thought I would remember to make more constant post than I am now. I barely remembered to upload my dinner tonight (previous post) until my coworker asked me what I had done to my avocado. I peppered the shit out of it, of course. My salad consists of raw greens such as kale and spinach and broccoli, carrots and my avo. I have not been this good in a while but the scale at work says I lost about 5 lbs in one week. I'm not using any other scales because this one may be a little off... so might as well have the measurements consistent. 191.4 according to my last read.. whoop whoop!!

right now!!! :)

this was saturday

Soup!! :)

Lunch

I was drinking water at a beer garden....

I had two eggs with a sardine and pepper, cooked slow on a cast iron pot. I beat the eggs well so they could  get some size. It was good, but totally forgot to document my first meal. 

This one came shortly after; chorizo with sauerkraut and fries. I only ate the chorizo on the right, all of its sauerkraut and some of the fries. I have the rest as left overs for dinner! :) And yes... I sat with my sister and my mom's boyfriend at a beer garden and drank water because I am now back at work. How fun??

It seems as though this was saved as a draft. What you see here is a salad with chicken, bacon and some fun sardine dressing I made courtesy of Jamie Oliver.  I had this at 4 AM. I didn't finish it so I will be having it for lunch today.. around 11 maybe.

Snaaaaack

Found myself getting hungry out of boredom. It seems apartment hunting is no longer thrilling to me. I would have taken a pic of  the full pear but I took a bite, and before I knew it, there was only the core left! :) 

Rosemary chicken in ciabbatta

I know it's been a while since my last meal but... I took a nap and woke up to cook for work. I then went out with someone. Had a latte and did not think to add it to my Dialog?? Bliary?? I mainly only drink water so maybe including what I drink would be good to add as well. Anyways, here is breakfast number two: Rosemary chicken with cherry tomatoes, onion, avocado in half of a hollowed out ciabatta loaf. It was yum!! The chicken comes from my dinner, I ended up making too much chicken for the salad and I used the innards of the loaf to make crouton-like squares and did not want to dispose of the yummy crust. 

White bean soup with bacon and chives

I know what you're thinking... Soup for breakfast?? Gimme a break, I've been up since the dawn of time!! And yeah, OK so bacon is not exactly the healthiest option in the world but it's one slice and it makes a world of difference in the fabulousness of the soup. :)

Just a thought

Bless me, Diary, for I have slacked. It has been about 7 years since my last entry.

Time is flying by faster than I could have ever imagined. Seems like just yesterday I was in high school trying to decide what to do with my life. Fast forward almost 6 years and I'm still considering that question with little movement in any direction. That is one reason this "project" is important to me. I am beginning to realize that I am not living my life the way I want, and in order to make myself happy I have to meet certain goals starting with the goal of looking and feeling good, inside and out. 

I just started reading 'The Four Hour Body', by Timothy Ferriss, this morning. One of the main drawbacks of working overnights is that I spend my nights off awake, no matter which sleeping techniques I attempt. As I was reading, I came upon his suggestion to start a food diary by taking photos, rather than writing down what I eat. That suggestion is the catalyst for this blog of mine. I am so lazy, and I know that I would not be able to stick to carrying a book around and writing everything I eat down. I can't say that I will be successful in documenting my journey in blog form, but it sure seems that it will be easier for me to stick to. 

Sorry if all of this sounds scattered, I have been up since 2:37, confined to my room with nothing but a glass of water, a banana, and baby food. Though technically it is food, I no longer have it to take a picture of. Sorry to disappoint you.

I am so hungry, but as I type this I hear my sister moving about the house so I know it is safe for me to go and make breakfast! Official food post number one coming right up!

Day One

Welcome to my public food diary. Hoping that this helps me in my fitness goals, wish me luck!!
