Confession time....*oye...*
Let's see, it's Nurse's week PLUS cinco de Mayo....so yeah...we've had lots of crazy food at the hospital. Normally, I don't really care too much about junk food...but for some reason this week it's been harder than usual to refuse. Thankfully, I am getting over this quickly *as the scale has gone up 2 lbs*
Breakfast: Protein shake
Snack: 1-Baybel cheese
Lunch: 1 slice lean ham, 1 slice swiss cheese, 1.5 oz grilled chicken
* 1tbsp cake* -------> yes I know...bad....
Snack: Atkins bar
Dinner: 2 oz ground turkey, 1 tbsp shredded cheese, 1 tbsp sour cream, 4 tostito chips (ooops)
Throw in lots of water and diet snapple.
Cal: 1094 Carb; 35 Protein: 95
So yeah...this makes 2 days this week that I've actually hit close to 40 carbs, yuck!
Not only that, but I've indulged too much , for me at least.
Oh well, back to square one....20 carbs a day for 7 days to detox again.
I'm so glad to have this forum, in which I can air out my mistakes and regroup to make better decisions.
