Friday September 30, 2016 MENU


My day started with me taking about 6 bites of my daughters homemade cheese grits. Yummy, I would have eaten more but I was on a mission to do some early morning shopping to miss the first of the month shoppers. I was hungry before lunch and grazed on some yogurt. Lunch I had one leftover item in the refrigerator, which was my veggies with the pork patty. I had to go to the post office and I felt like I needed a chip snack. I stopped at the dollar store and looked at the many options. There were these small bags of Frito's and such with 150 calories and I saw this Pringles Grab & Go pack for 150 calories. I was like wow! I could eat half for only 75 calories. So I bought the Pringles and sat in my truck and opened up the food diary on My Fitness Pal. I scanned the barcode. It came up as 23g. I'm like I don't know what is 23g. So I changed the measurement to the package and was going to put 1/2 serving. When I put it on the package it said there was like 380 calories. I'm like what? This must have scanned wrong. Then I checked the details. Yep it's the right one. Then I looked harder at the nutritional label. Crap I forgot to look at serving sizes per container. This damn can had almost 3 servings. So I did the math and portioned out 9 chips instead of 15 ugh,.... Those damn 9 chips were still 125 calories. Anything less than 9 chips is not worthy. So I stuck with the 9. That was a real big disappointment for me. I got off work and went did my exercise of 20 minutes of cardio and the rest weight training. For supper we scoured the fridge for leftovers. I found another pizza my daughter came home with this week. So I sat down with the food diary to figure out how much pizza I could have. I did 2 slices, nope to much. I did 1 1/2 slices. Yay I had 3 calories left. I reheated me 1 1/2 slices and I was ready for the night. I finished the day with a total of 1327 calories for the day. I was under my calories by 3. If you like my meal ideas just check out my diary for a list of ingredients for that meal. And yes! I measured and weighed everything. A crucial part of everyone's dieting is will power. The second part is portion control with good choices and third is physical activity.
It's how southern women diet!
Happy Eating
