Eating well at work is tough. I'm a nanny for two boys, but have lunch with only one of them because the other is in school. The one who eats lunch with me has autism and some sensory issues so he only eats a few different things -- hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and macaroni & cheese. The parents both work full time and eat out a lot so they don't have a lot in the way of other lunch foods for me. There is a drawer full of deli ham, but I hate ham. Sometimes they have turkey and I can make a turkey sandwich, but must of the time I just eat whatever the little boy eats. Today he wanted macaroni and cheese. I tried to find an alternative for myself, but unless I want to eat plain toast, there really isn't anything else here for me.

I'm a little confused when it comes to the nutrition info on the box. It lists calories for unprepared and prepared, and percentages for those, but only one number in therms of grams of fat, carbs, protein, etc. At the bottom it says "65% Vegetable Oil Spread and 2% Reduced Fat Milk preparation adds 13g total fat, <5mg cholesterol, 160 mg sodium, 2g total carbohydrate (2g sugars), and 1g protein." So by "13g total fat" does that mean PER SERVING, like the other nutrition info, or PER BOX? One serving is 1 cup prepared and there are 3 servings in the box. So are there 15g of fat (2 plus 13) in the whole box, or just in 1 cup? That's a huge difference. I plan to only eat one cup of it and have a banana with it, but am I logging 5 grams of fat here or 15? I just don't get it!

Dinner at 4:30 (between work and class) left me really hungry when I got home at 9:30. Had a lean pocket, and my roommate had leftover crab rangoon that I couldn't resist. I ate the two pieces, which fit within my goals on fatsecret, but I'm also keeping track with SparkPeople with a faster loss goal, and it put me over on calories there. I was still within fat, a little over on carbs, and good on protein. This is only my second day so I think easing in to it will take some time.
When I was at the doctor earlier this week for a follow-up on my blood pressure, I weighed in at 262 (with clothes and shoes). However, they do it so quickly there and don't ever let the scale fully balance before they announce the number out loud and rush me to the exam room. I bought a digital scale at target today and came in at 265.2, with clothes on (no shoes). I changed my start weight to 265.2 so that when I consistently use that scale for weigh-ins things will be more accurate.
