Hi Everyone,

Just a quick post. It’s now Febuary and I haven’t made much progress on my weightloss journey.  My successes this week have been with my journaling on MyFoodDiary.com. I have been faithfully journaling every day this week so far.

I brown-bagged today. A very tasty Frozen Meal – Amy’s Tamale Verde *Black Bean*. http://bit.ly/cwEkZm

Amy’s Tamale Verde Black Bean frozen meal heated up in about 4 1/2 minutes.  The quality of the meal was excellent. The taste of the tamale was very good. The rice was fair. For some reason Frozen food manufactures simply can’t get mexican rice correct within a frozen meal.  Nutritional information wasn’t too bad : http://bit.ly/aApxsm

Thanks for reading this blog entry.

Until next time,

Jason Robison

Well it’s a new year and the start of a new decade. As I start this year I have so many things I want to accomplish. The biggest challenge again is my weight. Whether it be that I’m lazy or I just simply don’t care, I need to make a change. I started out FatManonADiet.com last year and had some good success with journaling my daily food intake.

With the start of this year and a brand new work week, I again begin a new adventure. This adventure though comes with new tools to assist in better eating and exercise.

• Wii Fit with Biggest Loser Game

• MyFoodDiary.com to track daily food entry.

• FatManOnADiet.com – Daily and weekly blog for weight loss progress.

• Tons of Internet Resources

I hope and pray this time next year I’m writing about successes and things I’m doing to continue to lose weight.

Thanks,

Jason

Blogs, can be quite time consuming, so I haven’t had a chance to post anything lately about my weight loss journey version 3.0.

I signed up about 16 days ago with a service on line call MyFoodDiary.com.  It is very easy and helps me journal a lot easier of the daily things I eat.

MyFoodDiary.com carries over 50,000 online items and allows you to input your own items.  When inputting your items you simply need to know the “Nutritional Facts” of the item or do a Google search and try to find out what the Nutritional information might be.

Whoever was on the programming team for MyFoodDiary.com was very smart because they have an item called “The Fridge” that allows you to add items to “The Fridge” to select in the future to add to your daily journal.

MyFoodDiary.com provides reports and can also track your daily exercise activities.  This past weekend I went Golfing and added 4 hours of Golfing “Cart Path Only” to my exercise activities.

So far since joining I have lost over 4.2lbs.

Other things that amaze me about this site are how it sheds light on the type of foods I eat and what I should be eating. It’s quite a challenge because I strive to get smiley faces every day now instead of frowns.

For example, if you consume too much Trans Fat you would get a frown because you shouldn’t have any Trans Fat.  

In conclusion, I’m excited about this new journey and hopefully by the end of the year I’ll be close to my goal weight.

Stay tuned for future updates.

Went to Andrew’s French Quarter restaurant in Crystal City, MO tonight. What a fabulous little restaurant only about 20 miles south of St. Louis, MO.  

Dinner was magnificent.  Portions were perfect. Food presentation was beautiful.  Five star restaurant in my book.  Waiter service was wonderful. I felt important and pampered the whole evening. 

Price for two people around $85-$125 depending on whether or not you order a bottle of wine.

Front Entrance to Andrew’s French Quarter:

Place Setting with Menu:

Shrimp and Crab Gumbo (YUMMY!):

Main Course – Lobster Risotto with Steamed Littleneck Clams, Mussels, Blue Crab, and Langoustine.

This week has been good so far. Watching my portions. I have been very busy this week so I haven’t really had to much crazy eating. 

Went to Starbucks this morning and had a Pumpkin Loaf and a Venti Caramel Macchiato drink.

Lunch was just a EAS protein shake and a Grilled Chicken snack wrap from McDonalds.

Went to dinner with my wife tonight at Andrew’s French Quarter in Crystal City, MO.  Portions were very small so I didn’t fill totally stuffed when we left. Tons of calories probably.

Overall a pretty good week so far.

Breakfast:

Panera Bread (Bacon, Egg and Cheese) Grilled Breakfast Sandwich.
Calories: 510

Caramel Latte [11.5 fl oz] (410 calories)

Total for Lunch: 920 calories

Great lunch at Wendy’s today. It sucks that they don’t have one right next to my house. The closest is about 20 minutes away.

Hi Everyone.

This week was good. I feel that I ate meals that were fairly healthy.  I’m toning down breakfast to fiber one bars.  Last couple of days I should have been averaging below 2500 calories.  

Tonight the wife and I went to Taquila Mexican Restaurant so you know I earned about 1500 plus calories there.  This weekend should be fairly simply.  Got to go to a wedding tommorrow. I’ll be looking for salads.

Went to the doctor today and everything looked good. My blood pressure was perfect.  

Have a great weekend. I’ll try to post some new meals next week. 

Later………

Well I thought I would post the last three days, but I’m tired. Going to bed early tonight.  Staying up till 1:35 a.m. the night before can take a toll really quick.

I need to start getting creative with some of meals so my blog is not so boring. I did have an amazing lunch at Maggiano’s today. Lunch provided by Symantec.  I was very proad of myself becuase I forced myself to have very small portions. I would would recommend this restaurant to any corporate business or couple that simply wants to have a romantic evening out.  You can follow Maggiano’s on Twitter.com/maggianos.

The food was excellent and fresh. Servers were very polite and my Iced Tea was always full!! Would give Maggiano’s 4 stars.  Come hungry!!

Howdy all!  Yes, I am sticking to my diet. I have all the pictures of my meals since Monday. I have been sooooo busy since Sunday night I haven’t had a chance to sit down for an hour or so and post all the information.  Had some great meals over the past several days.

Thank you all for the continued visits. 

Jason

I had a great week.  Calorie intake was very low this week. I’m taking a break this weekend from my blog. Will start back up on Monday.  As always, this blog takes a  lot  time and I want to make sure that I dedicate the time necessary to it. Everyone enjoy the rest of your weekend.
