Whatcha Eating Today VSGers??? Friday! TGIF!!!
I think I should avoid working from home -- it makes my snacking a bit out of control... The scale hasn't been affected (yet), but I know it's a prob. I'm at work today and it's a hungry day, but keeping busy & on track. I've been dialing back my exercise (b/c my body is not recvering well -- I think I was over-training) and I'm a bit nervous the scale will react.
Ok onto the food -- what's your plan today?

S - fage & coffee
L - chicken curry

I got two fabulously delicious sirloin steaks from my father abd I've been eating them sliced on top of a small salad...super filling! Eating the steak and grilled chicken is going to be my plan of action to get through this weekend At work. Trying to detox from creeping carbs over the next few days.
I've also found that I drink more iced coffee when I'm cutting down on carbs. Don't know if it's a good or bad thing, but I need to focus on more water too.
Ok, the day was different than above, but still not bad.
B: iced coffee with cream
L: 4oz sirloin steak with 1.5 slices cheese
L2?: 1/2c kale salad, few slices of boars head chipotle chicken
S: iced coffee, pork rinds
D: eggplant rollatini stuffed with ricotta and mozzarella, homemade marinara
I ate several smaller meals, though still probably less than what I HAVE been eating. Low carbs though. Hoping once I'm back into ketosis the hunger will subside a bit.
For beverages, I had a large iced coffee, medium iced coffee, large glass of water, can of diet gingerale, can of diet root beer, can of diet 7up, and two large glasses of water. WAY more soda than I usually drink, but they helped my cravings for sweets.
I'm also on a steroid pack right now so looking forward to how that's going to bloat me and what it's going to do to my blood sugar...
