Wednesday Accountability

I am so behind schedule tonight...but I made a commitment to report my daily progress on making my carb goals.

Today I was right on target, or over by 1 gram.  I consumed 201 grams of carbs.  Dr. Marymor recommended 150-200.  

I also got my water in, and my protein goal.  Additionally, I got some walking in, as I took psycho-puppy to the doggy park, yes the one with the Loch Ness snapping turtle in the lake, and he got so excited when I parked the car, he dragged me limping to the gate to play with the doggies.

I also weighed myself on the nurse's scale today, and I was 7 pounds lighter than Dr. Marymor's weigh-in.  Today it was in the morning, and two weeks ago at his office, it was in the afternoon.  Plus, it was different scales.  So, I am not all excited about the difference, though I believe I did lose something.

I am committing to weighing in on that particular scale on a weekly basis, just to be accountable some more.

The township I live in offers exercise classes, including cardio fitness and pilates.  They offer a sampler package where I can buy a ticket and pick and choose which classes I wish to try out, and get the ticket punched as I attend the classes.  It's 1 punch for the cardio, 2 for the Tai Chi and Pilates, and 3 for the Yoga.  The ticket is $30 for 10 punches.  I thought it would give me a chance to see what each of those is like, and then I could sign up for the second session of the class I like in October.

Have a good night.  See you all in the morning.

Huggles,

That's a great program they offer, Trish!  I hope you find something you like.  And "psycho puppy" sounds like a little kid on Christmas morning!  How fun!

I got my fluids in yesterday.  Protein?  Ha!  Carbs - a good amount, although I've never tracked gms of carbs before.  I just know it's more than what I should have had especially considering I did not hit protein goals.   That will be my plan as of this morning - to count everything including carb grams and what not. 

Here's to a fantastic Thursday!

Thanks Pam,
I never tracked my carbs before now either.  It is easy using the My Fitness Pal site, as the chart calculates all the carbs and protein for me.  It keeps a running total throughout the day, and shows it by meal and by grand total.  I can also check fiber by viewing the printable version of it.  (I learned that I can subtract my fiber from my carb totals for a net carb total.  It gives me some wiggle room and helps me make healthier choices when I do eat carbs.  Plus, fiber is more filling.)

One day of low protein and pretzels is not a huge concern, as you had a huge stress issue you were dealing with.  Thursday you just get back on track and make your protein priority ONE. 

Hugs,
Trish

GO TO BED.  LOL

I had heard of the fiber thing before - it's part of the atkins diet rules and regs as well when I did it.  I wasn't sure if we were "allowed" to do that or not.  Thanks for the tip!
