Chicken Vegetable Soup

Monday October 3, 2016 MENU

 Well my day started with some leftover breakfast from Saturday.  I had a sausage patty, eggs with one slice of toast.  Logging my meal on Saturday I didn't realize that just the sausage alone was 200 calories.  Dang that is a lot.  But too late I already ate it at before I entered into my food diary.  I was careful the rest of the day.  I was not hungry for a snack.  Around 11:00 I was a little hungry.  Option was to eat a snack or go ahead and eat lunch.  I picked lunch.  I ate a bowl of my low calorie white bean soup.  Since I ate early I was hungry for a snack.  I finished up the leftover cool whip cake since I had a few extra calories to allow for it.  I got home to do my 20 minutes of cardio and weight training.  When I got home my mother had made crock pot chicken vegetable soup.  I so forgot to take a picture of my meals.  But I think the vegetable chicken soup was just as good at beef vegetable.  I had some calories left, oh heck I had 379 calories left.  So I had what was left of the cornbread the other day with some butter.  I finished the day with a total of 1104 calories for the day.  I was still under my calories by 226.   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.

Stuffed Sausage Bell Pepper & Vegetable Pizza

Friday August 26, 2016 Menu

My menu started with leftovers.  I had this awesome plate saved of the flank steak and cushaw I had made.  I didn't want it to go to waste.  So I ate that meal for my breakfast.  It was a good choice because I was not hungry for a snack.  I had purchased two sausage stuffed bell peppers from Juneau's Cajun Meats in Marksville the other day.  I cooked them in my mini oven and put them in the fridge.  Yes I did not eat them that day.  The reason is to save me some fat calories.  See when the stuffed bell peppers cooled the fat floated to the top and I was able to skim it off before I reheated it for my lunch.  It was soooooo good.  I ate one whole stuffed bell pepper.  That meal held me up too and I was not hungry for a snack in the evening either.  I did my 1 hour of exercise, which included 20 minutes of cardio and the rest of the time weight training.  Then for supper my mother had plans for personal pizza's, make yours your way.  Well I went to My Fitness Pal to see how many calories I could have for the evening.  There was only 316 calories left for the day.  I entered in all my ingredients to calculate my pizza.  The crust alone was 200 calories.  The only thing that did not make the pizza was the pepperoni and I put a little less cheese than I wanted.  I ended up with a vegetable pizza.  But, I'm fine with that.  It really turned out to be a very delicious pizza.  I am glad I didn't put a lot of cheese, it was just perfect.  I ended my day with a total of 1366 calories.  Amazingly I was only over by 36 calories.  To me that was awesome under the circumstances of eating leftovers and not knowing what I was eating for supper and making it happen.  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.
