newnormal's Journal, 31 January 2021

Finally! Been waiting for this number for quite a while lol. Officially 30 pounds down since I started this round of being aware/trying to lose weight. Next big target is 170 by 4/1 and hopefully a size 12.

So yesterday, figured out that my Crystal Light has carbs (!) which I guess I should have known before but was considering it a freebie. I use it at half-strength so it's 1 carb per big glass but still. Didn't realize it had maltodextrin in it. It does impact my blood sugar (about 30 points after 30 minutes) which annoyed the CRAP out of me yesterday since I'm trying to be super mindful on the BS front. Curious how water/lemon would impact me so may try that as an experiment. I don't love the taste of our water, even after filtering and plain water on an empty stomach gives me nausea. Also figured out the other day that while the 2 net carb SOLA bread doesn't make me gain, it keeps me from losing the next day. I'll have to use it very sparingly but at least it's an option sometimes.

So meal prep today to make the week easier. I will be clocking in/out for the first time in over 6 years and need to maximize my time. Chicken, broccoli, eggs and bacon are primary, with cabbage and peppers available for a perk me up (colored peppers have more carbs but are pretty tasty).

Have a great day buddies! Be mindful and enjoy your people. <3

try sparkling ice waters or nestle flavored waters. I'm not a water drinker so I drink those. The sparkling ice has 2g of sugar per bottle and 10 cal. The nestle has 0 cal and doesn't have sugar in it
