I apologize for not blogging so much. You already know! School and life are being real trials right now! I wish I could take time to photo blog every day to make more use of my diet-accountability purpose, but I really don't want to make a promise I can't keep. So for awhile, I am sticking to just uploading whatever I've taken in one post. :) I actually have a whole bunch of photos I wanna share, so I'll make two separate posts.
Safeway's Eating Right Hamburger Wheat Buns with 1/3 tsp pesto, american cheese, and baby spinach. I decided to eat it along with strawberries - soo good.
This was my attempt at, I think, broccoli beef? Except I used chicken. Tried a new ingredient to my recipes: Rice Vinegar. Very nice touch. I figured since I don't make sushi a lot, I could use it for other things.
This has been my top filipino dish since I was a little girl. It's called Sayote and Pork Ginisang, and this was my first time making it. Sayote is sooo delicious! I added some baby bok choy, and it totally hit the spot. This was unhealthy though :(
Portioned breakfast of half a navel, mom's menudo (with some cilantro) and a thin bottom layer of white rice. (I get so lazy to cook brown rice, it takes forever.)
This was a chicken and veggie stir fry, I think I added some teriyaki sauce.
Ate it for dinner.
Finally tried a spinach-strawberry salad. It's great how the two go together. The dressing I made was 1/2 tsp honey mustard, 1/3 cup organic balsamic vinaigrette, a hint of lemon - all wisked together. I added some pepper, shredded mozzarella cheese, and sesame seeds to the salad.
Lunch that day. 1/2 Eating Right Bun toasted, 90 calorie fillet, and steamed broccoli with 1 tsp cheese whiz.
Not sure if anybody bothered to scroll through those, but I don't care. Also, I've been struggling to focus on eating more healthier. All the time now I'm always thinking, "As long as I'm not past 950 cal." My stomach sucks when I don't eat healthy, so I've been working hard on less sodium and more greens. Not to mention I skip my cal-tracker postings whenever I eat out or eat too much, etc. No bueno! So keep praying for me! My health has definitely improved, and my weight is showing some difference. I lost 5 pounds in I don't even know how many months (I don't have my own scale). This change in eating habits is all over the place, but I'm keeping my head up through everything. Stay tuned for a continuation post coming right up.
Wow has school been a heap load already. Taking an Illustrator class along with a Color (paints) class is just terrible. The exercises/assignments take several, several hours, depending of course on the students interpretations of his/her art. Not cool.
Since I haven't been able to document each day of my photographed meals, I'll post them as a group here.
Egg whites and brocolli w/ potatoes & herb seasoning.
30 calorie jalapeno cheese slice (addicting).
My failed attempt at lettuce wraps. Note: This image is deceiving.
Alfredo pasta w/ mushrooms and turkey sausage. Middle layer of spinach.
My first attempt at Eggs in a Basket: failed.
I flipped it over. Too soon.
That's more like it.
If you were wondering, my daily calorie goal on Livestrong is 950 which is set at "losing 2lbs/wk". I could choose to lose 1 or 1.5lbs/wk, but the 2lb goal keeps me in better control of my food no matter what. I still go over here and there so I don't exactly lose 2lb in a week, but it's the developing discipline I'm focusing on. I need to buy a weighing scale.
I signed up for Livestrong.com's MyPlate this morning around 2am. It's not super accurate, and I doubted it big time, but it's pretty neat! It has been an enjoyment so far, listing down my meals and gaining a lot of simple information from them. During the fitness section for the day, I wondered if my leading worship dealt with any burning of calories! And to my surprise, it did!
Well - that's me, including my half hour of worship practice and next half hour of worship during the service! It placed a little smile on my face just seeing that for some reason. Unfortunately, I didn't get to stretch today though. Should prob get to that now...
Here was my afternoon snack the other day that I mentioned did not get uploaded yet:
Doesn't spinach always look amazing? I had some more today except with EVOO/lemon vinaigrette, which today was my first time making it. We never have lemons! I also added a little chunk of grilled catfish. It was such a pleasurable combination! Here it is:
My first meal of the day actually was after church.

My first meal of the day actually was after church.
- 1/2 cup baby spinach
- 1 tbsp cauliflower rice
- 2 tsp EVOO/lemon w/ pepper
- itty bitty portion of grilled catfish :) (mixed into salad)
- 4 pc pork emputido w/ some sriracha (you know you didn't put enough if you can't tell where it is!)
- 1/4 cup of blueberries
If you guys were clueless of my drinking, I only drink water now. I just can't get used to anything else anymore, but I'm proud of myself for that. ANOTHER thing I am proud of is that I am the same way towards white steamed rice! I've been so used to cauliflower rice, and it's only been about a week eating it! What kind of filipino am I? Totally fine with me though.
This was my breakfast yesterday.
- 1 egg + 1 egg white scrambled w/ baby spinach and chopped cauliflower
- 1 slice of whole wheat bread
- 1/4 cup of blueberries
You can't see the cauliflower, but I promise it's mixed in there! I've been making an effort to replace rice with cauliflower, so expect to see a lot of that in my meals. Also, if you look up cauliflower rice or cauliflower faux rice, you will see what I'm talking about. Actually, it's in my next photo..
For lunch!
- 1/2 of a medium banana
- Stir-fry teriyaki chicken w/ asparagus and mushrooms
- 3/4 cup cauliflower rice
The teriyaki dish was something I made for the first time. It turned out well, but I should have marinated it longer. My dinner pretty much consisted of the same thing, except with less cauliflower and on a bed of baby spinach. It tasted so much better!! I am a bit of a sucker for baby spinach, but at least it's a good thing. I actually took a picture of it, but I may just post it the next time I blog because it's still in my camera.
As of my meals from today, mostly the same thing! I don't have too much of a variety right now, just been grocery shopping for what we could afford. This whole week or the past two weeks, I've been cooking things for the first time. Meaning the dishes I cooked were first timers! If that made sense. :( There was spaghetti (yup) w/ground turkey, curry chicken, and sopas (google it!) with spaghetti noodles and Vienna chicken sausage which was freakin' delicious. Anyway, hope this was pretty cool for my first food post! I wish my food looked super duper pretty, but who cares it tasted wonderful.
