resurrecting this due to fatness 9/7/11

My fat clothes are tight.
So, it is time to do something about it.
Ugh.
Breakfast - coffee w/ vanilla stevia and heavy whipped cream.  I know the whipped cream is bad, but we have no creamer and I needed to use this stuff up and it is now all gone.  that is my excuse.  yeah.
1 Egg - fried in butter - just a little bit
Collard greens - fried in a bit of olive oil w/ a bit of fresh garlic, onion and ginger, mirin and braggs liquid aminos
Walked around neighborhood about 20 min.
Went to grocery store - ate a half of a tortilla w/ cheese. It was a free sample.  Therefore it should not contain calories.

Lunch - salad
Salad is my favorite food and can, should and does contain a large variety of ingredients when I make a salad. 
Today's salad contained:  red leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, cucumber, leftover corn (scraped off the cob), leftover salmon, feta cheese, olives and a
homemade salad dressing made of: olive oil, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, fresh pressed garlic and lime juice
small handful of sunflower seeds
drank water

2:45pm - 2nd lunch?  snack?  - chips and dip - not a ton, really; 1/2 sandwich - turkey breast on 35 calorie bread w/ some olives. and drank water

don't like writing this down.
and I am still hungry.

another "snack" - a lime w/ salt

I am baking banana bread. I have to do it.  3 bananas were going bad.  I could not let them go to waste.  I suppose they may go to waist instead though.  I made two loaves.  One will stay home and the other will go to work w/ me tonight. They are semi-healthy and contain fresh ground amaranth, millet, salba, steel cut oats, teff and chia, bananas, white flour, coconut oil, salt, baking powder, peanut butter powder, almond meal, eggs, milk, cinnamon - not listed in order of amounts. :)  It is an adaptation of a weight watcher's recipe and the original recipe contains no oil, but I put in less than one fourth of a cup of coconut oil because that really makes it better and there is not a lot of sugar, and I added a little bit of maple syrup too. You should smell my house right now.  Yum!  My husband and son walked in the door and both asked if I was baking banana bread and my son asked when it would be done.

5 pm - ate the other half of the sandwich.  I have to get ready for work soon.
And am eating two slices of banana bread. Hot. With butter.  Yum!  And water.
Maybe I will lose weight from all the walking back and forth from the kitchen to the office to type this stuff up every time I eat something?

8 pm - at work - ate a  piece of banana bread w/ butter - warmed up.  Yum.  My co-workers appreciated the banana bread.  It all disappeared. :)
Also had pistachios (12 - I counted the shells afterward - and almonds - probably about 12 too, and a nectarine.
