yesterday was horrible, i did not eat anything for breakfast or lunch. finally around 3:30 yesterday afternoon i ate some of this arroz con pollo casserole that i made, full of rice and chicken and tortillas and 2 different types of queso... it was so yummy. i had another serving of that around like 8pm and some oreos and milk for a snack. but on the plus side i drank alot of water yesterday.
today so far... breakfast ... nothing lunch ... a PB&J sandwich on white wheat. with a snack sized bag of fritos (1 oz. which i didnt finish -- tristan ran off with it). and a 20 oz. coca cola. it is the first soda that i have had all week. dinner ... will probably be leftovers, as i am not in the mood to cook anything atm!

I also found this article in my mass of information...can't remember where I got it as it was copied and pasted to save it...hehe...
Calorie Intake to Lose Weight
To lose weight, you must eat fewer calories than your body needs on a daily basis. So how do you know how to find the right balance between calories consumed and calories burned? To get an idea of how many calories your body needs each day follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate your basal metabolic rate (BMR). Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to support the ongoing, unconscious work of your body (i.e. your heart beating, breathing, maintaining body temperature). BMR accounts for the largest component of your daily energy needs, usually around 60%. To estimate your BMR, multiply your body weight in pounds by 10. For example, if your body weight is 140, you’ll need approximately 140 x 10 calories, or 1,400 calories each day just to keep functioning. Keep in mind that many different factors may influence your BMR, such as age, gender, size and body composition. In addition, this simple equation may not be accurate if you are extremely over or under weight. In this case, consult a registered dietitian to discuss your calories needs.
Step 2: Calculate Calorie Needs for Physical Activity Your remaining calorie needs are based on your activity level. This includes everything from walking from your car in the parking lot to running 5 miles. If you want to increase calories burned, you can alter this component significantly in the short term. The following calculation can help estimate how many calories you need at your level of activity. Choose the description that most closely fits your activity routine.
You are not very active. You sit down most of the day and drive or ride wherever possible. If you fit this description, multiply your BMR by 20%.
You are lightly active. You do some form of aerobic exercise 2-3 times per week and/or your work requires you to move around for 2 to 4 hours of the day (a teacher for example). If you fit this description, multiply your BMR by 30%.
You are moderately active. You do some amount of regular aerobic exercise 4 or 5 times a week and/or your job requires physical labor. If you fit this description, multiply your BMR by 40%. You are very physically active. Your job requires heavy physical labor or you are physically active for 4 or more hours each day — and you do very little sitting or standing around. If you fit this description, multiply your BMR by 50%.
Step 3: Calculate the Total Now that you’ve determined your BMR and your calorie needs for exercise, it’s time to add them up for the grand total.
Total Energy Needs = BMR + Energy for Activity Example: a 140 pound, lightly active woman BMR calories = 140 pounds x 10 calories per pound = 1400 calories Activity calories = 1400 calories x 30% = 420 calories Total Energy Needs = 1400 calories + 420 calories = 1820 calories
To Lose Weight The above calculation determines the approximate number of calories that your body needs to maintain your current weight. To lose weight at a healthy rate you’ll need to decrease this daily maintenance number by about 500 calories each day. Experts suggest you shed no more than 2 pounds per week to help maintain lean body mass while effectively losing body fat.
Never go below 1200 calories per day — your body needs at least that many calories to support basic functions.
Remember that the number determined using this method is just an estimate. Everyone’s body is different and therefore requires different amounts of energy to perform at its best. The best way to determine how many calories your body needs for sure is to be aware of your own body. Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full. Combine what your body is telling you with what the math above is telling you, and you’ll be able to draw your own conclusions about how many calories you need to eat to maintain a healthy body weight.
