FEBRUARY
2001
DAILY SUPPLEMENTS: that I take and consider essential, and which I highly recommend for any LCer: *1 Twin Lab Dual Tab (Sustained Bi-Release Multi, as recommended by the authors of Protein Power) *2 99mg Potassium/Magnesium *2 EAS Structured EFA (Essential Fatty Acids) *1 Microhydrin (A revolutionary antioxidant)
*1 500mg L-Lysine *1 500 mg extra 'C'
WATER: I average 3 liters of ice cold water every day. (Cold water is purported to raise metabolism, & I prefer it.) Thursday, February 1 BR: Coffee with cream, 2 fried eggs and 1 oz. pre-cooked bacon, nuked L: Made a sandwich of sorts from 2/3 a LC bagel and a leftover chicken breast and 1 slice cheese D: Roasted turkey with notstarch gravy and a small salad with tlc ranch dressing, 2 egg omelette with sausage, and a tad of sauteed onion and red pepper, with cheese, also 1/3 a LC bagel toasted with butter, later 1 piece hazelnut nirvana
FAT: 119 gm total 68% (48 gm saturated fat, 28%) CARBS: 28 gm - 7% (1 gm fiber) = 27 NET PROTEIN: 97 gm, 25% NOTES: Bit low on protein. No change in weight.
Friday, February 2nd - my 36th birthday BR: Coffee with cream, 1 Atkins mocha crunch bar in the truck, on the way to Denver to find and buy my treadmill L: at Chili's - chicken fajitas, hold the tortillas and bring some lettuce instead. I ate every single sauteed onion and pepper they brought me, what a treat!! Had to guess when inputting this meal into Lifeform, and perhaps I OVER-estimated, but that's better than not including them.... Also drank THREE Miller lites in Chili's, and 2 more in the casino in Blackhawk, where we gambled for an hour and a half on the way home... D: Back home, grilled ribeye steaks, with steamed cauliflower and cheese sauce. 2 more beers. About 4 servings of my LC birthday cake with whipped cream. Only 7 carbs per serving. but when you eat FOUR servings (with coffee and whip cream) the count goes way way up.... I don't care, I deserve this, it's my birthday and it's been a WHOLE year since I started being "good" all the time.....
CALORIES: 4086 - can this be right??? FAT: 283 gm total 72% (86 gm saturated fat, 22%) CARBS: 109 gm - 8% (32 gm fiber) = 77 NET PROTEIN: 171 gm, 19% NOTES: Up a full five pounds. TOM arrived in the wee hours of the morning, too, so it is hard to say how much gain is just water retention due to TOM, and how much is due to carb overload shock, etc. I don't even care ~ whatever the outcome, it was worth it. And I certainly know how to lose the pounds again, no matter how many stay around after TOM departs.... :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!! Besides, now I finally have a treadmill to walk them off on, too!
BR: Coffee with cream, 1 TLC banana muffin L: nuked some pepperoni and ate some cheese with it, instant OIAB too (TOM rules) D: a few little smokies with cheese, 1 latortilla with a couple slices of leftover steak and a slice of chz in it CALORIES: 1982 FAT: 167 gm total 76% (96 gm saturated fat, 43%) CARBS: 36 gm - 5% (10 gm fiber) = 26 NET PROTEIN: 95 gm, 19% NOTES: Up another whole pound. Even with TOM, I thought I would dump some of the huge gain from my BDay... apparently not.
Sunday, February 4th BR: Coffee with cream, 1 slice toasted Oroweat lite with 2 tsp. strawberry jam, and 2 scrambled eggs L: ate 4 of my new cranberry orange muffins, a handful of mixed walnuts and hazelnuts, instant OIAB too (TOM still rules) D: elk roast, at least 6 oz, it was delish! with 1/2 cup buttered green beans and a salad w/ tlc ranch, later 2 pc. toasted mixed nuts nirvana EXERCISE: 20 minutes on the treadmill at 3 mph CALORIES: 2285 FAT: 182 gm total 72% (56 gm saturated fat, 22%) CARBS: 49 gm - 6% (14 gm fiber) = 35 NET PROTEIN: 122 gm, 22% NOTES: Down 1.5 pounds of the BDay gain, so far
BR: Coffee with cream, 2 cranberry orange muffins L: an Atkins bar in the car, busy busy day D: Chicken caesar salad (with TLC ranch not caesar dressing) and lots of extra veggies too EXERCISE: put my back out AGAIN while cooking dinner - Grrrrrrrrrr. What's the deal with that?! I actually HAVE ab muscles now and I have just started having back problems for the first time. MURPHY, GO AWAY. CALORIES: 1545 FAT: 117 gm total 71% (41 gm saturated fat, 25%) CARBS: 24 gm - 4% (8 gm fiber) = 16 NET PROTEIN: 90 gm, 24% NOTES: Down another 4 pounds of the BDay gain, another pound and that will be all gone, then another 2.5 of the mystery gain-back to go before I can post a "new" loss.... I'm sure the treadmill will help, if ever my back stops hurting long enough to use it! TOM is leaving the building, too, which should help with EVERYTHING!! :^)
BR: Coffee with cream, 2 cranberry orange muffins L: 2 oz. peanuts, 1 latortilla with 3 oz. elk meat in it, 1 nirvana D: 1 cheeseburger, the top of 1 slice pizza, and 1 Miller Lite, later 2 nirvana EXERCISE: 300 crunches, no weights, no fetal position, my back is still hurting, so I am amazes me that I did those, even. Also did 30 minutes power walking (wrist wts only) on the treadmill at 3% incline, 3 mph. CALORIES: 2004 FAT: 146 gm total 69% (45 gm saturated fat, 21%) CARBS: 47 gm - 6% (19 gm fiber) = 28 NET PROTEIN: 119 gm, 25% NOTES: Another gained-back pound bites the dust! Getting closer to new loss every day....
Wednesday, February 7th BR: Coffee with cream, 2 cranberry orange muffins, but they're gone now so I'll have to come up with something else! (for a change) L: 4 thin slices 0-carb turkey wrapped around cheese in the middle SN: 1.5 oz Maui Onion Macs D:small salad and 2 srv. Impossible Pie EXERCISE: gave my back a break and took the day off CALORIES: 2172 FAT: 174 gm total 74% (77 gm saturated fat, 33%) CARBS: 34 gm - 5% (8 gm fiber) = 26 NET PROTEIN: 109 gm, 21% NOTES: Well, there's an almost "perfect" 75/20/5 ratio - yet for some reason, yesterday's pound came back! :( Today it felt like I was being soooo good, too. Treadmill time! Skiing time! SOMETHING time... (No biggie REALLY, today I'll lose it again. And one of these times, it WILL stay gone.)
Thursday, February 8th BR: Coffee with cream, Impossible Pie L:1/5 oz pepperoni nuked into chips, 2 oz. cheese SN: 2 srv. instant OIAB D: New York strip steak (huge, I ate half, probably 6 oz) 1 cup broccoli with butter, later I ate THREE pc. nirvana with a dollop of whipped cream on top!!! EXERCISE: 15 minutes on the treadmill at 4.5 mph and 6% incline, this was a 30 minute "certified trainer program", the most advanced one they have, of course, do I ever start small? LOL, I made it through half the prgram before I thought I would die. From now on, I'll do my OWN settings, thank you very much! CALORIES: 2678 FAT: 221 gm total 75% (132 gm saturated fat, 45%) CARBS: 33 gm - 4% (6 gm fiber) = 27 NET PROTEIN: 142 gm, 21%
NOTES:
Well,
there's an almost "perfect" 75/20/5 ratio again - and way more
calories - way more than you would think is good! - and this time, I lost a
half pound! Weird. Sometimes being "too" good is not the best thing,
for too many days in a row! An occasional indulgence can be a good thing, as
long as you indulge in "legal" foods... I intended to
BR: 7am Coffee with cream, nothing else - I pretty much forgot, as I wasn't hungry, so when I realized what I'd done, at 11Am, I went and hopped on the treadmill! L: 115pm - leftover Impossible PIe and iceberg lettuce with tlc ranch SN: 4pm 1 oz Maui Onion macs D: 545pm - Don't know what to call this but - OMG - good. I took half a bag of thawed scallops (the ones from Sam's Club of course, about 8 oz?) and half a bag of cooked tiny shrimp (also from u-no-where, about 8 oz as well). Dumped them in shallow pan and added about 2 Tb. olive oil, mixed all around to coat everything, then I sprinkled on garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley, mixed around again. Covered that with about 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (the real deal, NOT Kraft "do not refrigerate" type) and drizzled about 1/3 cup heavy cream over that. Baked at 400 for about 30 minutes. YUM! Had tlc coleslaw on the side. For some reason, got major munchies later on (after hopping back on treadmill for 5 minutes full tilt, to try to stretch out my sore back, it works too!) Anyway, I made a huge serving of instant OIAB, and then I STILL wasn't satisifed, so I went back and ate a bowl of whipped cream with a packet of Swiss Miss diet cocoa stirred in! EXERCISE: 25 minutes on the treadmill at 3.5 mph and 4% incline in the AM, and 5 minutes at 4mph and 4% incline in the evening CALORIES: 2795 FAT: 249 gm total 81% (109 gm saturated fat, 36%) CARBS: 38 gm - 5% (6 gm fiber) = 32 NET PROTEIN: 98 gm, 14% NOTES: Okay, I lost another half pound!! Now, even though I didn't eat in the AM and I worked out really well, I ate the largest amount of my calories in the evening, and waaaay more than I have been able to get away with lately, and I really expected either no change or, truthfully, I expected a gain. And it wouldn't have upset me, because I would have felt I had it "coming", you know? If I had not eaten anything after the dinner and woke up with a gain, OR EVEN THE SAME, I would have been really really pissed off. All this makes me wonder: If I had been good, would I indeed have not lost, as has been my penchant lately? I was convinced that I am too close to goal for "up the fat" to work again, but after the last 2 days, I really wonder. Maybe every so often, for someone as resistant as I am, it is exactly what the body ordered!!! Let me tell ya, there's nothing better than eating really well and losing weight!!! I have been restricting myself a lot in the last few months and I wonder if it has actually helped, or hurt. I think it has likely helped my cholesterol, which I am overdue to check, but weight loss? Questionable. I must get my blood checked again, so I know how the :hold back the saturated fat: efforts have affected my blood. Even if it :is: better, it may be worth going back to my old habits long enough to lose these last 25 pounds!! I have the rest of my life to control my cholesterol and maintain my loss, after all! If you haven't tried eating whipped cream and OIAB and cheesecake to your heart's content yet, it just may be worth a try. What have you got to lose? If you gain a couple pounds, that's par for the course, we all bounce up and down up and down, on our way down, and you do know how to get rid of them, right? Or not - what works for me may not work for you. But SOMETHING will work, so don't give up till you find out what that is! And if I hadn;t started tracking all this stuff, I would never have figured out this strategy even the firt time around, and I would likely have given up on this whole LC thing! Yet, look at me now! I read somewhere that people who keep an (honest) food journal are 3 times more likely to succeed at any given diet plan. If you haven't started using Lifeform and/or keeping a food journal yet, and you are struggling, JUST DO IT.
Saturday, February 10th BR: 7am Coffee with cream, 2 fried eggs, bacon, 1.5 slices toasted Orowest Lite with butter L: took the kids to Pizza Hut while we were out shopping. And I finally did "it", I cheated. I did it on purpose, not at all on impulse, though. You see, I had been saying for months that on my birthday I would eat a Personal Pan pizza. But when the big day actually came, I couldn't bring myself to do it and stayed home instead... but I have been wondering, what would happen if I did so? Other people do it and only gain marginal amounts, what would happen to me?? Well, I didn't eat that much, I limited myself to ONE BITE of a breadstick and ONE BITE of pizza crust. And you know what? YOU CAN KEEP 'EM! They did nothing for me at all, in fact they were sort of gross!!! Ya-hoo. It's like pasing a big test and realizing that it was always really easy... anyway, I ate the tops only of about 4 slices of pizza and had a salad - yechh, I have gotten to used to my homemeade ranch, theirs tasted sweet and gross. The kids say it was all in my head, but I am guessing they had Kraft lite out on the salad bar - eeeew. Both icky tasting AND carby.... D: TLC fried chicken. This was REALLY good, I HAVE to write this up for Vol II. Had coleslaw on the side as well as a salad. Later I made some coffee and ate some instant OIAB and some chocolate flavored whipped cream. EXERCISE: off day CALORIES: 3581 FAT: 296 gm total 75% (145 gm saturated fat, 37%) CARBS: 79 gm - 7% (15 gm fiber) = 64 NET a guess, based it on eating half of one breadstick. GULP. Should have skipped the desserts later, I had actually forgotten, at the time, my foray into carbiness! PROTEIN: 157 gm, 18% NOTES: Okay, I put on 3.5 pounds, and I am sure that is due to the two bites of white flour, mostly. Granted that the high fat and calories may not be optimal but I have lost well eating like that in the past... my wondering about white bread is over, at least - no more for me! No more wishing or longing for it either (not that I did much of that, but still!)
Sunday, February 11th BR: 7am Coffee with cream, Impossible Pie L: took it with me - salad with tlc ranch, pepperoni, sliced turkey, and some cheese. 1 Diet Swiss Miss cocoa. SN: more cocoa when I got home, topped with whip cream. a handful of pistachios, and 1 nirvana. D: 545pm - TLC fried chicken and another salad EXERCISE: Skiied Beaver Creek with my son and a friend - a FIT and thin friend, who said no one could possibly keep up with the 2 of us without burning their legs off. hehehehe. That's my boy!!!! CALORIES: 2376 FAT: 182 gm total 71% (97 gm saturated fat, 38%) CARBS: 42 gm - 6% (10 gm fiber) = 32 NET PROTEIN: 133 gm, 23% NOTES: Okay, that's more like it! I am only down 1 pound, but then, I usually show a gain after skiing hard, regardless of food intake, so that's okay. (think, worked muscles equal water retention!) I will drink LOTS of water today and get on the treadmill early and I will be fine. At least my back held up. Actually, it felt best while I was skiing (NOT while I was sitting in the car, on the lift, or in the lodge eating lunch, however).
BR: 7am Coffee with cream L: 1 bowl cream of broccoli soup, later 1 nirvana and 1 oz. peanuts D: more soup, 1 wasa with SF peanut butter EXERCISE: 250 crunches and 12 minutes on treadmill with weights, 4% incline, 3.5 mph (got interrupted! Whaa) CALORIES: 1133 FAT: 98 gm total 80% (44 gm saturated fat, 36%) CARBS: 39 gm - 8% (16 gm fiber) = 23 NET PROTEIN: 32 gm, 12% NOTES: OMG, no protein to speak of - bad girl!!! Down 1.5 pounds is all, I am STILL above my weight when I had the "two bites" and my all-time low was a whole month ago.... anyway, headed skiing, which will probably put me up AGAIN... ask me if I care! I am going, all by myself, but gee, I just heard on the Denver news that the Atkins diet is bad for you because you won't be able to exercise without sufficient carbs for energy, and it gives "little results" long-term. WHAT A LOAD, wish I could take that reporter up there and ski him into the &*&((&&^** GROUND. They obviously didn't read the press release I sent them... I think I will send it again, with a postscript to that effect!!! And a challenge to come and exercise WITH me and then try to believe that load of crap about "no energy"!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Tuesday, February 13th BR: 7am Coffee with cream, 3 eggs scrambled with 2 slices cheese and 3 oz sliced leftover steak, 1 pc. LC toast L: took with: 2 latortillas with tuna salad, 3 oz. cheese SN: instant OIAB, french vanilla D: 1 Miller Lite, and 2 TLC sour cream enchiladas (a definite inclusion for Volume II, I even took pictures.) Also 1 srv. TLC toasted coconut ice cream- really, really good! another keeper for Vol 2! EXERCISE: went skiing by myself (1st time skiing all alone in 15 yrs) and I tore up the mountain!!! In 3.5 hours, I rode 13 chairlifts (that's some fast skiing) and the last 2 runs I made were from the very top to the very bottom, NON-STOP!! I think I fixed my back, too. I definitely fixed my attitde. None of my problems had changed, but the way I view them had. Guess that means all goals were attained today. CALORIES: 3686 FAT: 291 gm total 74% (153 gm saturated fat, 39%) CARBS: 80 gm - 5% (36 gm fiber) = 44 NET PROTEIN: 181 gm, 21% NOTES: Well, I made up for the no-protein day yesterday, for sure. This morning I am up 1 pound, but considering how much fiber I ate and that fiber holds onto water "all the way through" I feel confident that it will be gone tomorrow... Hey, I did something fun in Lifeform today, I turned my weight loss chart into a report and it averaged my weight for each month. Even when it looks like that line hasn't dipped down in a long time, my average weight HAS gone down, every single month, even this month... April 2000 249.95 May 244.29 June 243.72 July 238.95 Aug 235.27 Sept 229 Oct 221.07 Nov 216.12 Dec 214.5 Jan 209.74 Feb 209.23 So, even though I hit my lowest weight an entire month ago and some days it feels like I'll never get back there again, when you look at it this way, my progress has been fairly steady! Some months I lost better than others, but I lost the whole time, even through birthdays, holidays, and vacations.... if you use Lifeform, make a graph with your weight only, then click the report button and check it out!
Wednesday, February 14th BR: 7am Coffee with cream, 1 Keto-Bar L: In car, 1 Atkins bar D: 10 oz. New York Strip Steak, 1 c. sauteed broccoli slaw, 1 THIN THIN slice rye bread from aspenicecream.com, 2 lemon-lime-vodka cocktails, and later 3 pc. Nirvana EXERCISE: off day CALORIES: 2130 FAT: 124 gm total 64% (60 gm saturated fat, 31%) CARBS: 37 gm - 7% (7 gm fiber) = 30 NET PROTEIN: 126 gm, 29% NOTES: The numbers look good but I am still up a pound, probably because the bulk of my calories and carbs were all eaten in the evening... oh, well. No more holidays, time to get serious and lose some dang weight!! before I blink and the month is over.
Thursday, February 15th BR: 7am Coffee with cream L: 230PM! Oops. 1 latortilla stuffed with tuna salad D: 7PM - Keto Pasta and TLC Marinara, later 1.5 srv. toasted coconut ice cream and 1 pc. Nirvana EXERCISE: nope, sat at computer all day feverishly changing web hosts, signing up for a merchant account, doing bookkeeping, etc. CALORIES: 1583 FAT: 136 gm total 77% (85 gm saturated fat, 48%) CARBS: 43 gm - 7% (16 gm fiber) = 27 NET PROTEIN: 63 gm, 16% NOTES: Woefully low on protein, but since all I did was sit all day that's probably OK. Down 1.5 pounds this morning even though I ate 70% of my calories after 8pm (bad bad girl!)
Friday, February 16th BR: 7am Coffee with cream, half serving (1/4 c) of Nutlette cereal with Keto-milk (I just don't like any of the milk substitutes, so I threw away the other half!) L: 1pm - 1.5 leftover lc enchiladas SN: 3 pm - 1 oz peanuts 630PM - half s new york steak, so about 5 oz, with 1 cup TLC Coleslaw, 2 lemon-lime-soda vodka cocktails, and later 1 pc. nirvana EXERCISE: I cleaned house for hours, also did 250 ab crunches, then 30 minutes on the treadmill - varied incline from 3.5 to 7, kept speed between 3 and 4 mph, used hand weights vigorously in a variety of motions for the first 16 minutes. Felt like a great workout. And before any of that, I rearranged the furniture in my bedroom and moved the treadmill, etc. which was just like a weightlifting session - or maybe better :) CALORIES: 1950 FAT: 121 gm total 66% (49 gm saturated fat, 26%) CARBS: 55 gm - 8% (23 gm fiber) = 32 NET PROTEIN: 110 gm, 27% NOTES: Even with the Friday night cocktails I dropped half a pound - that's more like it!
Saturday, February 17th BR: 7am Coffee with cream, 830am TLC pancakes and 1 oz pre-cooked bacon (5 slices) L: 1pm - Huge fajita salad (romaine with chicken, onion, gr. pepper, tomoato, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa) SN: 4 pm - 1 oz maui onion macs 7PM - an Atkins mocha bar and later 1 pc. nirvana EXERCISE: Nope CALORIES: 1681 FAT: 130 gm total 72% (50 gm saturated fat, 28%) CARBS: 37 gm - 7% (10 gm fiber) = 27 NET PROTEIN: 86 gm, 21% NOTES: No change this morning.
Sunday, February 18th BR: 7am Coffee with cream, 830am 2 fried eggs, 1 oz pre-cooked bacon (5 slices), and 1 slice LC toast L: 1 cheese crisp with salsa and sour cream, 2 nirvana SN: all day was pretty much snacking, the only thing I resisted was alcohol.... So, I ate a bunch of homemade chicken wings in tlc ranch, and a bunch of little smokies dipped in Jalapeno mustard, a handful of pistachios, some chunks of cheese, 2 srv. instant OIAB, a cup of Diet Swiss Miss cocoa topped with whipped cream, 1 homemade cream soda..... I think that's about it. EXERCISE: Nope, not on SUNDAY! I didn't even plan on entering things into Lifeform till I go up and got on the scale.... so here is my "best guess" CALORIES: 3445 FAT: 280 gm total 74% (136 gm saturated fat, 36%) CARBS: 42 gm - 4% (7 gm fiber) = 35 NET PROTEIN: 190 gm, 22% NOTES: Up 3.5 pounds this morning. Sigh. Oh, well. At least my choices were low carb. Several workouts later, I will have gotten rid of it..... Meanwhile I had a fun Sunday which felt like a vacation from dieting. Maybe some day I will be able to indulge in "treats" without the major backslide on the scale - but I doubt it! The saying 'those who play must pay' was scribed for ME, I think. Sometime it is so hard to read about people who eat goodies and then say they didn't gain a thing.... they are the lucky ones, no doubt!! On the up side, as I type this, it is snowing HARD, FINALLY!! Yippee, we sure do need it!
Monday, February 19th BR: 7am Coffee with cream, 830am 1 Atkins mocha crunch bar L: 1 LaTortilla wrap with 4 oz. sliced turkey and 1 slice Kraft Deluxe Am. chz, 2 tsp. jalapeno mustard SN: Nada~! D: 615PM - 2 Tyson ground chicken burgers (cooked on George of course!) and 1 c. TLC coleslaw EXERCISE: 40 minutes on treadmill @ 4% incline, skipped my crunches and weights (bad Karen!) CALORIES: 1192 FAT: 77 gm total 62% (33 gm saturated fat, 26%) CARBS: 34 gm - 7% (14 gm fiber) = 20 NET PROTEIN: 88 gm, 31% NOTES: Well, my lowfat lowcarb low calorie day netted me 2.5 pounds of the gain-back gone, 1 is still hanging around, putting me 3.5 pounds above my all-time low from an entire month ago. The low protein is no big deal, since I went way over the day before... every single day doesn't have to be perfect, as long as I average my minimum over the course of each week, in my opinion... So, it snowed for less than hour yesterday and then all melted off within another half-hour.... RATS! CURSES! and other cartoon profanities... oh well, I plan to finish my income tax preparations today, and start on the work for my bookkeeping client (so he can file his, soon, too.) Maybe when all that is finally done, it will snow so I can ski with a clear conscience... I must learn a snow dance, we need some fresh stuff desperately....
Tuesday, February 20th BR: 7am Coffee with cream, LC onion bagel (from Aspenicecream.com) with cream chz L: 3 oscar mayer weiners, 2 string cheeses and 2 pc. nirvana D: 3 egg omelette with ham, cheese, bell pepper and (tiny bit) onion, 2/3 onion bagel wih peanut butter, later 1 nirvana EXERCISE: 35 minutes on treadmill @ 5% incline, skipped my crunches and weights again CALORIES: 1968 FAT: 163 gm total 76% (77 gm saturated fat, 36%) CARBS: 41 gm - 8% (4 gm fiber) = 37 NET PROTEIN: 78 gm, 16% NOTES: absolutely no change!
BR: 7am Coffee with cream, 830am 2 fried eggs, 1 oz pre-cooked bacon (6 slices), and 1 slice LC toast L: In Denver - Never eat at a place called Sweet Tomatoes Salad Bar Buffet! There wasn't ONE SINGLE protein pource in the entire restaurant, I was disgusted and still hungry when I left! It wasn't cheap either. Anyway, I made a big salad and the carbs be damned (meaning I used onion! hehe) I brought my own dressing fom home, so that was okay at least. SN: a bunch of nuts from Sams Club on the way home - in a blizzard on both passes, of course! but none fell on MY mountain (slopes) D: flash fried some roast beef and covered with cheese and sour cream when I got home EXERCISE: none CALORIES: 2842 FAT: 213 gm total 71% (78 gm saturated fat, 26%) CARBS: 60 gm - 6% (21 gm fiber) = 39 NET PROTEIN: 161 gm, 24% NOTES: Well, I managed to drop a pound somehow :)
Thursday, February 22nd BR: 7am Coffee with cream L: at 2 pm I ate 2/3 of a LC onion bagel with cream cheese and finally started on my water! Sheesh, I got caught up in something on the computer and got lost I guess. I am not sure if I ever even took my supplements. SN: handful of almonds and pistachios D: Nice salad with romaine, tomato, red pepper, onion (TINY bit!) feta cheese and my ranch, also at least 6 oz. of roasted chicken, both dark and light meat, and about 7 oz. red wine EXERCISE: none CALORIES: 1330 FAT: 88 gm total 68% (32 gm saturated fat, 25%) CARBS: 32 gm - 7% (8 gm fiber) = 24 NET PROTEIN: 67 gm, 23% NOTES: Dropped 2.5 pounds and am down to my all-time low, once again, But I hesitate to believe that it will last. It followed an unbelievably stressful day during which I ate very little and didn't drink more than 1.5 liters of water total.... I could just be dehydrated. I KNOW I am upset, so I refuse to think that I will still weigh this tomorrow.... but if I did I sure would be happy. I WANT 199!!!!!
Friday, the 23rd on Woke up the next day back up 2 pounds, left for a weekend away and ate less than usual, only drank ONE weak cocktail all the time we were gone and still returned up FOUR more POUNDS! Sheesh. I am really busy changing over the website and may not update again till March. I am sort of enjoying the break from logging every little thing, I've been doing it for almost a year now!
Postscript on March 4: Managed to lose the gain back, till TOM showed up and now, of course, all bets are off for the interim.... |
