Accountability - Saturday

Any day that i get bored at home is a good day cuz I'll do more around the house when i'm bored..So because nothing was going on on television or on facebook..I did housework and stayed busy..Before that we did some grocery shopping and that means walking..all in all, a pretty busy day.

My eats:

Early AM: 3 cups of coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss

Breakfast: most of a chili cheese omelet

Lunch: polish sausage on a sandwich thin with some chili from the omelet..

no snacks! 3 containers of water..I bought some new tea bags so I may have some of that later tonight.

Dinner: a burger with grilled onions and mustard..yum.

Totals:
Calories: 1869
Fat: 110.8
Carbs: 127.5
Protein: 105.0

Not bad actually..But now it's bedtime. A nice cup of tea and bed..

How did you do? 

I was looking for something in the cupboard and found a piece of wrapped candy.  I set it aside for my DH (yeah, sure).  It called me the rest of the day until finally I gave in and ate the damn thing!  OK, done right?  NOT!! It triggered a sugar craving and today I ate 3 cookies.  Am I nuts?!?  Cheeze.  I managed to get through the day without going crazy on calories though!  Whoo hoo!!! Anyhow - back on the straight and narrow today to my 10 lb loss goal.

B Orameal, milk
L chicken breast, noodles(whole wheat)
S cookies (3)
D Protein shake
S Popcorn
Totals Cals 965, fat, 28, carbs 130, protein 56
Still need to get that protein up.

I would take each meal and snack and see what I could do to make it protein first. Look at the stats for each meal and see if you can make the protein number higher than the carb number, unless it's good healthy carbs like fruits or veggies. Those are *freeby* carbs. 

 Oatmeal you can add protein powder to or you can add textured vegetable protein to it (TVP)...

Now for snacks. Bag the cookies and go with a chunk of cheese wrapped in a piece of deli meat or some beef jerky..or nuts..honey roasted peanuts have alittle sweet so that might help.

Popcorn, take that and substitute some dry roasted peanuts..

It's all about making protein first and getting rid of the empty calories in carbs..Instead of noodles, cut up a quarter of a head of cabbage and steam it or boil it in chicken broth..looks like noodles..

You're doing just fine..one piece of candy isn't the problem but you can kick that craving..you can do this..If you have protein first, you could even increase the calories and STILL lose weight..It works just that easily.

Keep up the good work. See ya
