Veggie corn dogs

These veggie corn dogs are pretty good. 170 calories for 4 of them. Question- do you get veggie servings for veggie "meat" products?

Been gone a while!

I've been out of the game for most I the summer. I'm back on the wagon after my summer vacation. I did NOT eat well on my vacation and did not intend to. I don't think I gained much on my vacation, but when I returned I had oral surgery, and was put on a cold/soft food diet for a bit. My dentist actually said I needed to eat ice cream and milk shakes etc!!! My scrubs quickly started to feel tighter! So now I'm back to using "my fitness pal" and back to the gym!

609 calorie workout done!

I have been pretty scared to weight myself lately, as I have not been as strict as I once was while dieting. Last weekend I went ahead and bit the bullet and weighed myself. I was still down 7-8 lbs from when I last weighed myself!! I was pretty happy with that. I am down a total of 33-34 lbs (hard to tell on my scale.) I cannot deny that I would be down a lot more by now if I had been better at sticking to my diet......

Happy 4rth!!!

It's strawberry season and the local market has some great ones. Makes me so happy to have sugary sweet fresh strawberries!!! I have a question....how can I NOT spend the 4rth of July eating chips and BBQ hotdogs and drinking beer (or some other equivalent). I had a small Coke and a small 140 calorie portion of salt and vinegar chips along with a healthy salad for lunch. What can I say...I'm human! Not a healthy food robot! I still not go over my calorie limit. 575 calorie workout done as well!

Today

12 hour shift is done. Gym after work. Taco time "light meal" for dinner (316 calories!!! I bailed on a party tonight :(. J couldn't skip the gym and I didn't want to go out and drink/eat 2 nights in a row. I can't afford the splurges. Need to keep it at one night :(. I shouldn't pretend to be too disappointed - I would have liked to have gone, but I'm also a homebody at heart, and was feeling soooo worn out after work/gym (my bed is really the only thing calling my name at this point). This pik is of today's lunch. "kitchen sink" salad . It has everything but the kitchen sink! Baby corn,chicken,brown rice,tomatoes,beets,Worcestershire sauce (the verdict is out on that)and sunflower seeds !
