Foods High In Iron

A good CE day, with focus again on water consumption and eating the bulk of my calories for the day before about 4 pm. 3 cups coffee with milk and stevia 1 – 6 oz Chobani Greek yogurt with blueberries 1 small organic mozzarella stick ½ c raisins 1 turkey burger with mustard Leftover broccoli ½ c almonds 6 homemade meatballs in tomato sauce Green beans ( about 1 cup ) Water: 70 ounces

Good morning! You may have noticed that I had stopped posting my Daily CE food journal...well, since last Thursday I've had little appetite due to personal issues. These are resolved ( *hug* ) and I'm feeling better emotionally and physically. Like the post from last night: I'm definitely sensing I am bouncing back from emotional setbacks easier since my journey down the CE path began. 2 cups coffee with milk and stevia 1 - 6 oz cup Chobani Greek yogurt with blueberries 1/2 c almonds 1 pear 1 1/2 pieces grilled chicken with light seasoning A mound of steamed spinach ( 2 cups maybe?? ) 1/2 c+ raisins 8 oz broiled steak ( with a dab of A1 ) Fresh steamed broccoli ( stupendously delicious! ) Water: Almost 80 ounces ( I really focused on the water today! )

Another good day. I continue to stay on path, and am pleased to see progressive weight loss - not too fast, not too slow. Just right. I just hit 40 lb lost this morning. :-) Except for dinner, I realized it was nearly a carbon copy of yesterday. I think I need to focus on some variety. 3 cups coffee with milk and stevia 1 - 6 oz cup Greek yogurt with blueberries 1/2 c raisins Tuna fish 2 pieces Wasa crisp bread ( sourdough ) Organic mozarella cheese stick Chicken, ricotta, and spinach quesadillas ( 2 ) steamed peas 1/2 c almonds Water: A little over 60 ounces.

Yesterday was a decent, on track day. I handled some stressful moments at work well, and didn’t crack open the snack drawer once. 2 cups coffee with milk and stevia 1 – 6 oz cup of Greek yogurt with blueberries Mid morning: ½ c roasted almonds 1 can solid white tuna with mayonnaise ( ! ) 6 oz green beans 1 pear 2 baked chicken thighs Edamame Water: Much better – close to 70 ounces. Will focus on this again today.

I wasn't feeling well over the weekend, and didn't log my food from Saturday ( I do remember there was yogurt, and I had a homemade crabcake on Saturday night ) Still unwell - I'm sure I'll feel better soon. My light eating is reflecting not feeling well, so this isn't the norm. 2 c coffee with milk and stevia 1 6 oz Greek yogurt ( no fruit ) Bean soup ( homemade ) 6 oz salmon edamame Water: Not nearly enough Yep. Sunday was a blast of nutrition-y goodness. *sigh* I did better today. 3 c coffee with milk and stevia 1 - 6 oz cup Greek yogurt with a banana 1/2 c raisins Leftover bean soup Leftover salmon ( about 4 oz ) Large garden salad with feta dressing Water: a lot more than Sunday, but still not enough - about 50 oz.

I continue to stay in line, and the scale is reflecting my good behavior! Water intake was good, but I think I could have eaten more during the day. Working full time and balancing everything isn't easy! 3 c coffee with milk or stevia 2 eggs scrambled & microwaved 1/2 c raisins 1 can tuna with mayo ( I just can't bring myself to eat it plain! ) 1 pear 1 organic cheese mozarella stick Steak and red pepper "fajita" wrap Small side salad Water: about 60+ ounces.

3 cups coffee with 1% organic milk and stevia 1 – 6 oz container Chobani Greek yogurt ( vanilla ) with the last of my blueberries. 10 mini rice cakes 1 Mediterranean turkey wrap ( with turkey, cucumbers, hummus, lettuce, and olives ) 1 large banana Crab / Rice / Broccoli stir fry ( my husband surprised me by making dinner - so no butternut squash. I guess that will be for tonight. ) Water: 60 ounces or so. Reflection: I need to start eating a more substantial breakfast /morning  snacks , and shift my balance of calories from the afternoon and evening to morning. I’m going to work on this over the next few weeks.

2 cups coffee with milk and stevia 1 – 6 oz cup of Greek yogurt ( Yoplait ) with blueberries ½ c almonds 4 medium meatballs with marinara sauce 1 c edamame 1 pear 2 slices CE meatloaf ( I’ll be posting my recipe soon ) Steamed spaghetti squash Water: 70+ ounces

Another good day, and I lost 1/2 lb last week. 2 c coffee with milk and stevia 1 - 6 oz Greek yogurt with blueberries 2 Morningstar tomato & mozzarella "pizza" burgers ( just on this side of the CE line; questionable for some; I like them. ) 1 whole grain bun mustard 1/2 c edamame Hamburger ( no bun ) Mixed veggies pickled beets Water: only about 50 ounces. Recap: Should have eaten a piece of fruit after lunch; should have had more water! I'm out of sorts - I'll right my ship soon enough.

A very good day. *pleased* 2 cups coffee with milk and stevia 1 - 6 oz cup Greek yogurt ( no fruit in the house! ) 1/2 c almonds Roasted chicken breast with honey mustard ( a pretty decent portion ) Broccoli crudite with a tablespoon or so Trader Joe's feta salad dressing 2 turkey burgers ( grilled ) with honey mustard Mixed vegetables

Today was a great day - until my family went out to eat and I was taken off path by the succulent teriyaki chicken at a favorite Chinese restaurant. I tried to do my best, and avoided the fried foods and clearly high fat choices. 3 c coffee with milk and stevia 1 - 6 oz Greek yogurt with banana ( I think I'm going to search out a different fruit for next week's yogurt! ) 1 slice Wasa bread with a smear of peanut butter 1 medium mushroom and mozzarella omelet ( microwaved at work ) 1 pear Chicken teriyaki ( restaurant buffet ) Surimi crab salad sauteed mushrooms sweet potato slices 1 pork dumpling ( it honestly wasn't worth veering off path :-\ ) Jello cubes 60+ ounces water. I know I'll be working on water consumption today - need to flush that salty teriyaki from my system!

It was a good day, but my lunch was so big that I had no room for a mid afternoon snack, and ate a spare dinner. That salad I had was big, and a sweet potato with it just filled me to the brim. 3 cups coffee with milk and stevia 1 – 6 oz cup Greek vanilla yogurt with a banana ½ c raisins 1 large chicken Caesar salad ( commercial salad dressing * sigh * ) 1 medium baked sweet potato with a little pat of margarine :-\ 2 turkey burgers seasoned with no salt seasoning and horseradish mustard Mixed vegetables

Not a bad day at all - but looking at my daily list, I see I should have had another serving of fruit with dinner, and perhaps some grains - brown rice, for example.  3 c coffee with milk and stevia 1 - 6 oz cup of Greek vanilla yogurt with banana slices 1/2 c raisins 2 Morningstar Farms Tomato and Basil veggie burgers 1/2c + edamame snack bag of carrots handful of almonds Large chicken breast slow cooked in the crock pot Green beans 70+ ounces of water
