Accountability - Wednesday

I fully intended to get up at 4:30 today..then I turned the alarm off and woke up at 5:30 instead..I still did about 15 minutes of PT exercises and some weight exercises for my arms and chest (helping my shoulder, I hope)..so I redeemed my attempt at least. Oh, I called the vet. The vaccine for snake bite do not help for Mojave Green snake bites..RATS! And the avoidance classes are over now. We can only hope and pray that the animals will stay away from the Greens this year..

My eats:

5:30 am 12 oz coffee w/NSA Swiss Miss

6:00 am 1/4 protein waffle, 4 strawberries, 1/2 sf pancake syrup

6:30 am double espresso latte with soy milk

7:00 am 24 oz herb tea with splenda-Lipton of some kind..Green Tea I think

8:30 am 1 oz mozzarella cheese, 1 pc turkey breast deli meat

9:15 am 24 oz drink mix with ice, Wyler's Lemonade

10:30 am 4 oz pork chop, grilled (left overs from the other night)

12:00 pm 24 oz drink mix with ice, Crystal Light Energy Strawberry Caffeinated

1:00 pm 3 oz chicken breast stewed, 3 cooked carrots from the other night's dinner

2:00 pm 24 oz drink mix with ice, Hawaiian Punch

3:30 pm 24 oz drink mix with ice, Wyler's Tea and Lemonade

5:15 pm 3 sugar free wafer cookies (I think I know why I've put on a couple pounds..I've been eating alot of these..3 is 140 calories. and 17 carbs.) Three isn't bad but 10 is stepping over the line.

5:30 pm 1 low carb stuffed bell pepper, 1/2 medium apple

Totals for the day:
Calories: 1437
Fat: 71.8
Carbs: 89.3
Protein: 120.4

So even with the three sf cookies (trust me, I've been eating them like proverbial candy lately cuz they're SOOOOO good..I'm trying to keep from eating closer to 10 of them and it's HARD..that's why the apple after dinner cuz it's fiber is keeping me pretty darn full. I don't know what I'm gonna do later..maybe some iced tea..

I'm good with this day, lets hope I can stay strong later.

How did you do?

Gates... I think id invest in dog gates or that electric thing ive seen on TV that keeps critters away...

Day 1 on the 5DPT for me wasnt as successful as id hoped. Started off great, but dinner... not so much.

Breakfast -
20oz coffee
8oz protein shake
16oz tea

lunch -
1c butternut squash soup
1/2 bean & ham soup
20oz CL
20oz water

a late night from violin lessons = dinner -
togos mini lemon pepper tuna

Totals:
Cals - 1039
Carbs - 139
Protein - 58
Fat - 27
what the deuce?!?!?! ugh... so not feeling that.

LOL..gates don't work well unless you have fences..we're on 10 acres initially and 30 acres totally..I've looked into fencing and to do it right, it's expensive and still doesn't keep the dogs in. Even if I do fence the dogs in, ya can't fence the snakes out..sucks.

You did great. The carbs were good carbs. butternut squash is good. Beans are the BEST!  Don't you just love tuna? I think the figures on your protein were figured too low cuz tuna is great stuff for protein. a 5 oz can is 40 grams..

Keep up the good work..See ya

Does the vet sell an anti-venom that you can keep on hand for the Mojave Green or it there simply nothing available for that particular bite?  Yikes!  One of the downsides of living so close with nature (but I dont think I'd give it up for the world).

I am a happy camper here in sunny California.  It feels SO good to be up and moving without my cumbersome boot on my foot.  My data for today:

Breakfast 1
Hard boiled egg

Breakfast 2
Cottage cheese with crushed pineapple

Snack

2oz homemade BBQ pulled pork

Squats - 200 with light weights

Total Carb: 89g
Net Carb:  67g

The anti venom is $800..we paid that for the dose Candy got last year..sadly, they won't sell it to me so I'd have to take her in and with the visit, emergency AND venom..plus iv to feed nutrients and such..another $4000..I love that dog but this year, she's on her own..

Your list is great again today and the numbers are great too..the sunshine just makes me so much lighter and happier..I absolutely couldn't live in Seattle or somewhere that the days are long (like Montana where I spent a good portion of my childhood..the sun sets there about 3:30 and comes up again at 9 am the next morning in the winter..hate hate hate that! )

Keep up the good work. See ya.

Thanks you guys! I was an addict on this website when I found myself pregnant 7 months post op so after 6 years and I am up 10 pounds and never got as low as the dr said I would here I am again. Thank you for posting your accountability and making me start to keep a diary too! For now I am tracking protein, water, and exercise since those are the areas that I am in need of tracking.. Since I am not doing the calorie thing and the carb thing and was not ever directed by my nutritionist to do so, if you see anything that I may need to correct in my diet, please do so! Here is what I had yesteray;
Breakfast- Protein bar- 19g protein, 22 carbs,240calories
2- 20oz water
20 oz crystal light
lunch- turkey,pepperjack,romaine 14g protein
sm apple w/ 2tbls pb- 7g
20oz crystal light
dinner-4oz chicken breast grilled w/marinara sauce35g protein
Protein shake w/pb and milk-42g protein
20 oz water
117-protein
jogged 2.5 miles in 38mins

Great list..Good number on the water..with jogging you're gonna need it..and with the protein too..

The carbs you have listed look like great ones..not any bad carbs that I can see..apple, romaine, marinara sauce..all good stuff. The protein bar looks good too. Generally the high carb ones are 300 calories..

I think it looks great. Keep up the good work! See ya.
