Erica's food, July 29.
Today we drove to Texas for collecting bugs. I always eat terribly when we travel.
Breakfast, 8:30: Grits with American cheese, Carnation Instant breakfast. The last time I was at the store I decided to get the instant breakfast with no sugar and extra fiber even though it is more expensive than the sugary kind.
Lunch: We went to the Dairy Queen in some forgettable town in Kansas. I got chicken strips, but they were so bad that I could only eat the fries.
Dinner: We stopped in Dodge City, Kansas (birthplace of Wyatt Earp!) and decided to look around briefly and sample the local cuisine. Well, the local cuisine of west Kansas consists of beef. So I had sirloin kabobs with grilled peppers and onions with a baked potato and side salad. After dinner we got the hell out of Dodge. I saved my dinner roll and ate it at some point in Oklahoma.
Snacks: Snacking is required in the car. We brought Cinnabon coffee beverages, string cheese, sasparilla soda (diet), gummi Lifesavers, and BBQ chips with us. Food that we don't eat at other times helps pass the time.

Erica's food, July 27th.
Breakfast: I had a piece of cake, which turned out to be awful so I didn't finish it. Instead I had instant grits with American cheese.
Lunch: Bucket of popcorn while seeing Mamma Mia. Terrible, I know.
Dinner: Green curry with tofu at a Thai restaurant.
Snack: Cookies'n'cream Hyvee brand icecream.
Later my cat dumped the cake on the floor and ate a bunch of it, negating my feeling of guilt for having to throw away most of a cake. I guess he likes avocado frosting.

I'm going to try to be better about posting.
Breakfast/Lunch, 12:30: Egg sammiches: homemade whitebread toast with butter, 2 fried eggs with 2 slices of American cheese. Glass of milk.
Dinner, 6:00: Lo mein Justin made. It contained Chinese noodles, yellow peppers, celery, shrimp, mushrooms, onion, and bean sprouts. Diet Pepsi Max.
Snack, 10:30: Some batter and frosting from making a birthday cake for myself. Just plain old white cake mix from a box because I wanted to try an avocado frosting recipe I saw on Good Eats. The frosting is pretty good and probably healthy, but if you don't like avocados it's probably not for you. Glass of milk.
Does anybody have an opinion on dairy? Is it good for me or is it evil? Because I tend to eat a lot of it. I like things like soy milk, but the particulate content makes my throat scratchy if I drink it regularly. Anyway, I prefer to bake with real dairy products.

Attack!
Breakfast: again, typical, may have had a banana, may not
Lunch: left overs from the salad yesterday
Snack: unsure, I did have a mild gall bladder attack all afternoon though, that was fun. I don't know what it was from, maybe the eggplant?
Dinner: I had a night of random foods, olives, tarts, salmon, wine

I've been bad about posting...
...but I have been taking pictures of the things I've been eating. Because there are so many though, here are the highlights. I also effed up a few times recently, which you should berate me for.
I ate this for breakfast today. I wanted to try the new flavor of mcdonalds coffee, but they messed up and gave me hazelnut. It's good tho. And I heart bacon egg and cheese biscuits...although I only ate about half of it.
My friend came over one day for lunch. We made pistachio pesto with potatoes and noodles, and then a raspberry salad with a apple cider vinaigrette, that I added lemon zest to. It was a delicious, healthy lunch.
At work one day I got a burger at my this burger place in the skyway. The burger's there are good and the fries are fantastic.
One day I had tamales for dinner. I bought a package that were prepared and frozen from the downtown farmer's market. They are good, but not the best tamales I've ever had.

Back to Work
Breakfast: typical, don't remember if I had a banana
Lunch: Salad, with egg, eggplant, tomatoes, and some other stuff. I think I had some romaine or spring greens with the spinach. My nutritionist told me that spinach has some acid in it that isn't great in high quantities, so I should buffer it with other greens, and dark greens are good. I also had flat bread. I ate about half the salad and saved the rest for my snack, that turned out to be lunch the next day.
Snack: I forgot the snack today
Dinner: A diablo shrimp burrito and chips and salsa from Baja Fresh. Fun fact: while in a waiting room, I was reading some celebrity gossip mag and learned that on the day he and Jennifer Lopez were to be married, Ben Afleck ate at a Baja Fresh in SoCal.

Day Off Work, for reals
Breakfast: typical plus low-fat cheese and another slice of bread - I was off to a personal training appointment that morning
Lunch: At Trader Joe's yesterday, I had the most amazing sample ever. It was lemon pepper pasta with tuna and capers. I made that for myself for lunch around 1 and had a glass of chardonnay [not pictured].
Dinner [Evening eating]: I went to a Unitarian meeting in Livermore and had two brownies, two mini-scones, two italian sodas, and some popcorn [not pictured]

Damn, I walked at LEAST 6 miles today, maybe 7 or 8
Breakfast: 10am
A massive iced coffee and a bagel with egg and cheese - tons of high fructose corn syrup, I'm sure.
Snack: The first checkpoint, before Mile 3
A very tasty granola bar they had for the walkers
Snack: The second checkpoint, before Mile 4
They were offering potato chips and some other unhealthy things too, which was weird to me. This wasn't the best thing either, but it was tasty.
Snack: somewhere between Mile 4 and the Weed Band
Another granola bar
Lunch: 2:30ish
I had a sandwich with three slices of cheese, mustard, tomatoes and pickles
Dinner: 8:30
I had a banana and some canned salmon. There isn't a pic yet because I haven't eaten it, I wanted to post this first and then I need to upload my AIDS Walk pics. I wasn't sure if I wanted to even have dinner, but I figured it would be better to eat something, because I am sure I'd be hungry later.
