Adventure continuing...hope yours is a low carb one!

I did fine yesterday: 2 Atkins drinks...could have left off 2nd one, but got thirsty and didn't want another bottle of water.  I took off one more lb. today, -3 so far, so I guess it didnt hurt me.  I had a cup of protein coffee (only caffeine in my day usually), at lunch had a cup or less of chinese chicken salad, 1 oz. nuts for snack, 2 oz. steak and some lima beans for dinner, and then a little pnut butter and a few raisins instead of a ham/cheese roll up last night.

Plan for today:
protein coffee...downed already
1 atkins drink
chicken broth
sf black cherry lemonade
plenty of water
decaff coffee
chef salad for lunch
pork butt roast for dinner or a different oriental chicken salad w/ slaw,almonds, grilled chicken in it if I don't want the roast.
ham/cheese roll up for snack if needed

What's your plan for today?
Got my Beck book and workbook in...looks interesting.

Good Morning Karla & Adventurers,

 

I am still low carbing and I had a good day yesterday with the exception of getting in my water.  I wish I could figure out why that is such a struggle for me.  Maybe I need to set my goal for a lower number so that way my brain can wrap itself around it and go for more…LOL.  

 

Today’s plan:

B-coffee and eggs

L-salad

D-salad with meat

Water-32 ounces or more

Exercise-walk 2-3 miles

Faith, I'm struggling with water also.  Have been for a long time, I've even tried Crystal Light and I just don't manage to get more in.  Our office is COLD and I attribute the wanting something hot instead of cold, hence to much coffee.  Going to try to get in some hot herbal tea today at work and see how that goes.

Hey Dana!  I am usually cold too and I have become a coffee drinker as well because of this.

Morning Karla!  I did well yesterday too but feel I need to add a little more calories today and protein.  I was busy at work and didn't eat a second snack instead I ate a carbcontrol vanilla yogurt last night with a tbsp of raisin bran (which upped my carbs a little to much).

Plan for today:

Breakfast:  2 slices of turkey bacon
Snack:  turkey pepperoni and a 2% moz cheese stick
Lunch:  5 brussel sprouts and 3 oz of ribeye
Snack:  not sure better find something to bring
Dinner:  3 oz ribeye and probably broccoli

I wanted to cook the Chicken, Roasted Tomatoe and Broccoli Salad for dinner tonight but alas Cutter's football coach called and we have practice at 5:30 so it'll be to late to cook....run from work, pick them up and off to football practice.

I don't know why I'm not taking time to do a shake a day, lazy is the only excuse.  I need to add a good 30 grams of protein today.......I will, I will :).

dana,

I deal with the cold office as well. Walk around with a blanket and i'm threatening to get a snuggie in animal print!

Anyway, I want something hot and our coffee is disgusting, so I do hot tea. Never ever liked it, but it's the best option I have and I've learned to really like it. I bring those True Lemon packs and add that as well.

Just an idea.

I did better than Tuesday but still didn't get in all my food that I had planned.  I had to eat two low carb/sugar yogurts last night for some more calories (100 total) and a bit more protein.

Carbs are way down, protein is up to over 100 and fat is lower.  Calories at 950 to 1000. 

I can't imagine the calories I was getting in with all the tortillas and pita bread and english muffins I had incorporated in my plans before. I will have to be very careful of that if I decide to work some of that back in.

Lord, this better be working .. lol.  But my 'keto' breath is back so maybe it is!

I'm still doing great.  I'm now into week 2 of the Back-to-Basics Adventure.  I'm feeling so much more in control of what I put in my mouth.  I've started putting my daily menu plan in a document that I keep open in the background of my computer.  When I think I need something to eat I look at it and stay on track. 

Here's today's plan --

Coffee
B - 1 oz. of Canadian bacon and 1 oz. cheddar cheese
L - 3 oz. ham, 1 oz. Swiss cheese, 1 oz. Munster cheese, 1/2 cup raw Spinach with oil and vinegar
S - Nonfat Cafe Latte
D - 3 oz. grilled flank steak, 1/2 cup Lima beans, 1 cup Radish, Cucumber & Feta Salad, SF Lemon Jello

I'm staying off the scale and hoping for a good result next Monday.

OMG this thing works and work again!  woo hoo.

i did good at lunch.. They brought it yummo subs and I ate my chef salad instead. Now i'm on break and hungry, so i'm taking out the meat, cheese and tomato and eating that instead.
