Accountability - Thursday

I went slumming today. Last night after my allergy shots my allergies would NOT let me sleep. Stuffed up and hacking..wheezing. I was well enough to go to work this morning but with just a couple hours of good sleep I thought better of it and stayed home to sleep some more. Alittle later we went to the market for a shut in friend who can't get around very well until they schedule his back surgery..poor man! Since I wasn't at work I couldn't keep track of the times but I did keep track of them for water/food purposes in my head.

Here are my eats:

B: 1/4 protein waffle from the other day, toasted. reduced fat peanut butter and sugar free honey

Snack: 1 oz mozzarella cheese stick
Water container
Water container

Lunch: half of a chicken burrito from Texas Cattle Company and a few french fries

Water container
 

Lunch again: the other half of that chicken burrito
Water container

Dinner: 4 oz ground sirloin burger with cheese on a sandwich thin and thousand island dressing..and a few fresh french fries. I'm stuffed!

I had four containers of water (96 oz) and all my vitamins, one cup of coffee at breakfast..

I'm thirsty so I know I'll be having more water.

Totals for the day:

Calories; 1558
Fat: 67.0
Carbs: 122.1
Protein: 124.5

Numbers are very good. 130 is my target for protein and I made it..

I have not fully readjusted myself to daily tracking - so i am still lost in the food fog.
I swear, at times it feels like im in a carb induced coma. Carbs really drag you doooown maaaan.
But anyway - for the next 6 weeks, Ive resolved to jumping on the Atkins bandwagon. Im also going to combine that meal plan wtih 20-30min/day of cardio + yoga 1x/wk + weight training.
For the next 6 wks, we'll see how that goes & after that, I'll try another meal plan for 6 wks.

The plateau buster is really good for the carb induced coma! Have you ever tried it. It's a 10 day protein filled plan that works!

No Ive never heard of it - but I'll check in to it.
I need something because even though i was "supposed to" kick off the 5dpt today - i started the day w/ 2 frozen waffles & followed that up w/ 2 slices of 15grain bread w/ peanut butter LOL
My heart & mind are in the right place, but it seems my body is on auto pilot LOL YESH!!

Here's a popular Plateau Busting plan:
I have done this 2 times to get back on track and it does work IF you ONLY eat what's on the list. When I did it, I ate a lot of lucks pinto beans in the can and lots of meat.
