Topic: RE: Monday on Sunday CARb Accountability Rollcall
OMG!!!! I was doing great on Monday's plan until bedtme. Then the snack monster reared its ugly head. I had only had 26 g of carbs up til that point. Then I caved to a Little Debbie Nutty Bar. My reasoning? It had Peanut Butter in it..therefore it was my healthiest choice!! Really!>!>! I kid you not. I swear I think I'm a food addict. Getting a handle on carbs is horrible.
I ran my totals through the daily plate and was surprised to see such a high fat %. From what I'm reading that seems to be normal(ish) but I'd appreciate anybody's suggestions.
Also I'm a little concerned with Poop issues. Trying to make sure I get at least one salad a day in and some benefiber but it's not really working. Again....any suggestions?

I just read today that 5 mg manganese and 2 mg of copper daily will help with joint pain. Said give it 2-3 months to kick in. I am going to try it. Sure has less carbs than honey!
Good luck,

S: Protein Shake

S: Seaweed wrap/ham/cheese/broccoli slaw/pickled ginger
D: Kungpao chicken over asparagus (probably had quite a few sugar grams but at least I didn't have it with white rice)
S: As the kungpao is just not hanging (hungry already), probably something fat/protein laden and satisfying

Need to start being accountable.
Breakfast....2 eggs, 1 slice cheese scrambled in olive oil.
Snack..........2 oz. cheese
Lunch..........3 oz. steak, 1/4 cup fresh corn, 1 slice cheese all heated together like casserole
Snack..........2 oz. cheese
Dinner.........3 oz steak, cup stir fried veggies in olive oil
Snack..........peanuts
Lots of plain coffee and tea during the day. Need to work on the water.
I have been doing 2 T raw honey, 1 t cinnamon, 1 cup boiling water mixed together twice a day. It is homeopathic to help arthritis pain. I don't think it is working so I am cutting it out as of today. Also too many carbs (sugar).

Fortunately for me I love Mondays as I don't have to work them. I work four days a week, 10 hour shifts. T-F. It's the perfect work week!
Anyway food.
B~ coffee
L~ Tuna packed in olive oil on a bed of baby romaine
S~ Chicken wings. Yummy, awesome chicken wings!
My husband does not cook. I am the cook in the house and he cleans and does the dishes. But the one thing that he makes, that surpass any others I have tried, are chicken wings. He deep-fries them in peanut oil, makes a wonderful hot sauce out of butter (lots of butter!), Franks hot sauce and vinegar. When I bring leftovers to work my colleagues practically pay me to have one. So I get good food and I don't have to cook. What could be better? Well winning the lottery could be better!

I can't believe it's Monday already....I really didn't understand why my alarm clock was ringing away this monring. I was convinced it was still the weekend. Yuck.
The plan for today.....
Commute: Coffee w/ splenda and 1/2 & 1/2
B: Srambled Eggs
s: Celery w/ peanut butter
L: Deli Rolls (Ham, Turkey & Roast Beef w/ leaf lettuce, cheese & cilantro-garlic Mayo) & Dill Pickles & SF Jello
s: Turkey Pepperoni & hard Boiled egg
D: Roast Beef & garden salad (left the roast cooking in the crock pot - I love knowing that the house will smell great and dinner will be done when I walk in)
lns: SF popsicle
today WILL go according to plan!!!!
I realized that even though my eating started out well both days this weekend - because I hadn't committed it to cyberspace in hopes of some sort of accountability I found it way to easy to go off track. Vanilla wafers, Triscuits and snickers were never supposed to be a part of the plan - but somehow I managed to eat them.
I did manage to lose 3 lbs last week. That was a great thing. So I'll take my lumps and celebrate my successes. Thanks for listening and the encouragement yall gave me last week to help me stay the course.
