So I made it through the rest of the week at work! I did pretty well eating all week... until last night. But let's recap:
Monday - the everything bagel thin w/ egg beaters and spinich. Lunch was a salami sandwich (1 oz is 96 calories) on a 110 calorie bagel with red onion and a 1/2 teaspon of mayo and a tsp of brown mustard and a clementine and half an apple. I was still hungry so I made another sandwich but instead of the mayo/mustard I used Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb cheese for 35 calories. I had a bag of 100 calorie popcorn. Dinner - I made homemade Chicken Lettuce Wraps. I chopped the chicken very fine, cooked with with a bit of olive oil - then sauteed/marinated it in a mix of hoisin and soy sauce. Then I sauteed onion, carrots, water chestnuts and shitake mushrooms in olive oil with a bit of garlic. I added this mixture to the chicken and served it with butter lettuce leaves. YUM! I also made flat bread pizzas - using Naan Bread from the store, added sprinkles of finley chopped pear, spinich, shallot and mozzerella. I also sauteed garlic in olive oil and brushed the oil on the bread prior to the spinkles. Also YUM! I had 1 lettuce cup and 1/2 a naan bread.
Tuesday - back to work (sigh) - I brought my egg beater sandwich for breakfast and had half a grapefruit. For lunch I had a 220 calorie lean cuisine and two clementines. I had a 100 cal bag of popcorn and an apple for a snack. Dinner - Lean Cuisine 220 calories and two clementines.
Wednesday - cream of wheat w/ 1 oz of dried fruits and 1 tbls of walnuts. Snack - 1/2 grapfuit. Lunch - Lean Cuisine - 200 calories, apple and a whole wheat light english muffin. Snack - 100 cal popcorn and 2 clementines. Dinner - I ate out with my friend Lori at Sammy's Woodfire Pizza - I looked up their calorie content before I went - so I had 3 steak skewers (2 = 100 calories so about 150), Tomato Soup w/out oil (approx 110 calories - I didn't eat the chunks of tomatoes but it did have a little bit of cheese in it), half the chopped chicken salad with dressing on the side and no tomatoes. (approx 300 calories - I think less because I didn't have the tomatoes and I didn't use hardly any dressing)
Thursday - 1/2 grapefruit, plain cheerios w/splenda and 1/2 cup of skim milk (that I didn't drink.) Snack -an apple, lunch we ate at Sweet Tomatoes - a salad bar place. I had salad w/ garbonzo beans, beats, cucumber, zuchinni, carrots and dressing on the side. I did get some bread and butter pickles but stayed away from cheese and croutons. I also got a plain baked potato. (again no cheese, bacon, butter, sour cream!) I got one 97% fat free bran muffin that had orange and cranberry in it. 3 bites of macaroni and cheese. Then had a small cup of their fat free frozen yogurt. I had a bag of 100 calories popcorn for a snack.
Dinner is where I messed up... I ordered pizza for the boys. I went and nuked a left over dinner from before (it had been in the freezer) it was chicken with a sort-of cream onion sauce on top, brown rice and broccoli. I ate most of it. But when the pizza came - I ended up having 2 pieces! dang it!
Today is breakfast day - I will be having oatmeal from downstairs with a half grapefruit. Maria and I are eating out for lunch - hopefully somewhere that has good salads - maybe back over to Sammy's Woodfire. Dinner tonight is Indian. ACK - how I love that food. I am currently researching my best options. :)
Well I look forward to getting back in the swing of things and would love to hear from you all!

You have done well getting back into your healthy eating, even with the couple of slip ups. I have found my appetite has increased since the cruise do it'll take a while to calm down again. How's your weight doing? I gained 6 pounds before the cruise. Oops! I have lost 3 already but it'll take some effort to get back to where j was and then continue losing.
