Still Making Every Attempt

A little longer than planned to update this blog. It is not from lack of interest or quitting my attempt at healthier eating and losing weight. Mainly, it's a change of locations and lousy internet service.
As hard as I thought it was to build and maintain my goals in Carrabelle, it's even more difficult in this new location. The closest store (the closest anything) is 5 or more miles away. Personally, I haven't been or seen anything beyond the marina. 
With the exception of being in a motel of 3-4 days and having to rely on local pizza delivery and C-Store stuff (Junkie's Paradise. That's what I call C-Store's. Only junkie's and stoners think these stores are God's gift to them). Once I was back on the boat, I went back to maintaining my goal of eating better.
I think I've pretty much incorporated regular meals of Smoothies, Greek Yougurt, Hummus for light snacking. I am still working on a minimal dinner (not overindulging with second helpings or extra big servings). 
Also, I have yet to make a Green Monster Smoothie.

Food Diary for August 15th

Yesterday, August 14th -
Breakfast was a Breakfast Smoothie with Chocolate Almond Milk. 
Lunch was Greek Yogurt with Pears
Dinner - 2 small cheeseburgers w/ about 3/4 cup Chili Beans and a 1/2 cup of Chocolate Almond Milk

I fell asleep at around 9:30 pm or so and woke up 3 times before getting up at about 5:30 am.

I had taken a nap yesterday for about 2 hours (5-7 pm).....or was that the day before? 

Food Diary August 14th

PBB Smoothie 

I had to use the rest of the Pure Almond Milk (about 8 oz.) and start with the Chocolate Almond Milk. This area has a crazy local grocery store and it seems they never stalk the same thing twice in one month. They still don't have any hummus and I'm now out of it. The only Almond Milk they had was the chocolate - 30 calories more than the Pure or Vanilla Almond Milk.

I had a late lunch of

Greek Yogurt w/pineapple and the last of the hummus on crackers (about 10 or 11 crackers).

I had a 2 hour nap from about 6-8 pm as Keith was on the marina porch with his sewing machine doing a job for a fellow cruiser.

For dinner:

1/2 glass Choco Almond Milk

Probably about 2 servings of leftover Corned beef drizzled with Spicy Brown Mustard

Green Beans w/ CC Whipped Spread and Mrs. Dash

Mustard Potato Salad - about 1 cup.

A slice of Italian Bread with CC Whipped Spread.

Yes, I know - heavy dinner. I guess I was a little hungry.Keith claims the store doesn't carry any Potato Bread and he won't buy any kind of whole wheat as he doesn't like it. And I don't like Rye.

I asked him to get a side dish for the leftover Corned Beef and he came back with the Potato Salad.  

I made an attempt to minimize, but I was hungry. That was probably a good 1000-1200 calorie dinner. 

I fell asleep just a little after 10 pm and woke up at 4:30 am this morning.

Food Diary Aug 12 and 13

Same stuff.....different day. 

Aug 12
Breakfast Smoothi
Greek Yogurt w/ pear
2 Pork ribs, a taco, about 1/4 cup of Spanish rice with water.

I actually got off the boat for a while and sat on the porch of the Marina computing. The fresh air must have done me good because I fell asleep at about 10:30 pm and woke up right before 6 am.

Aug 13
PBB Smoothie
Greak Yogurt w/pineapple
Corned Beef (I overdid it here a bit. I was hungry and probably had about 6 oz. of CB), about 1/3 cup of corn, and 3 small round canned potatoes, water.

Fell asleep about 9-9:30 pm and woke up at 4:21 am.
