Steps today (as of 12:30pm): 2013
That is just since about 8:30am when I put on the pedometer. I still better get to steppin' some more to get anywhere near the suggested 10,000 steps a day. Though, I suppose if I counted my 45 minutes on the elliptical and the hour at the dog park, I would probably be closer. I may have to start wearing it more...
Today's food:
Thus far -
1 red d'Anjou pear (post-work out snacky food)
1 ham-n-egg english muffin sammich with fresh strawberries (breakfast)
1 WW black cherry yogurt (snack 1)
1 - 1 cup serving of broccoli-slaw with reduced fat honey dijon dressing (yum! snack 2)
Yet to come -
I'm getting ready to eat lunch...
I managed to avoid the McDonald's everyone else seems to be eating today and I'm having:
1/2c of corn
1/2c of cuban style black beans (from Trader Joe's and the best canned bean EVER)
0.5lbs of fresh veggies (this week it is radishes, broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots and grape tomatoes)
2T of reduced fat veggie dip
~6oz of boneless, skinless chicken breast crusted with sesame seeds and served with sweet'n'sour sauce.
For dinner, I have my meal thawed and waiting to be cooked...
1 serving of cheese ravioli with a pesto'n'chicken sauce topped with walnuts
1 dinner salad
My third snack will probably be a mini bag of popcorn or a vitatop deep chocolate muffin....
What are you eating today?

You are so disciplined. And you have a great menu planned - protein, veggies, all healthy. Thanks for the tip about Trader Joe's beans. I love that place.
My breakfast / lunch / snack are always the same. WW bagel w/lite cream cheese for breakfast. Lunch is either a veggie wrap, Total cereal w/skim milk, or instant oatmeal (today I had oatmeal). After my run I always eat a banana. Dinner will be a salad and a veggie burger (I'm vegetarian) or a Lean Cuisine frozen pizza (these are really good!) or something simple like that. I'm not much of a cook, as you can see... if I didn't go out to dinner 3-4x/week, I'd starve!
@DeliaD - Which veggie burgers do you like? And do you know their point value? How about the points on the LC pizza? I miss my pizza sooooo much.
Point values? I don't know what that is...? But the LC pizzas (without meat) have calories in the mid 300's. For the whole pizza! They' really good, too. And they make lots of varieties.
As for the veggie burgers, I get eggplant burgers from Whole Foods that are good on a WW bun or chopped up in a salad. I can't think of the brand... sorry. I eat Boca Italian veggie sausages too. They 're good on a bun, and they are great to add to a pasta with red sauce. 130 calories/sausage.
My favorite brand of veggie burgers is Amy's - here's the link:

@DeliaD - Weight Watchers, for those of us who are lazy, assigns a point value to food to help you determine how much to eat. It is based off the number of calories in the food, the amount of fat and the amount of fiber. I have a nifty sliding thing that tells me the value. I get 25 points a day - which amounts to about 1500 calories. The equation, as close as I can tell to determine the number of point is calories/60 + fat/12 - fiber/5 (up to 4g of fiber). I'll have to try the LC pizzas....
That doesn't sound lazy, it actually sounds like a lot of time and determination. I looked at the LC pizza boxes and didn't see a point value. I hope you can work them into your diet because who can live without pizza???
