I just put the app on my phone and am trying to see how it works. Can't figure out how to post a picture on my journal. I'll probably stick to the website. The app is so different.

Still trying to figure out my lower carbs than protein diet. The fatigue was gone yesterday and I feel fine this morning. I seem to be having much more food but lower calories. My food diary, when following my WOE previously was usually 1000 or fewer calories a day. It's been similar in the past week. I always assume calories are probably higher by about 200-300 calories. Unless I am eating only things I weigh and measure and prepare myself I am not sure of the accuracy of the food journal. For example, I baked 8 ounces of chicken breast yesterday. I weighed it and divided in half for 2 meals. But I forgot that I had added a tablespoon, maybe 2 of ginger soy salad dressing. And when I put one tablespoon of cream cheese on 1/4 bagel I don't measure the cream cheese. Not much fits on 1/4 bagel. Now that I think about it I think I put more on the bagel this morning to finish the tub of cream cheese. I keep trying to work in the beer battered cod I bought at Costco but it always seems to make carbs too high for the day. And I don't want the house to smell like fish in case someone looks at the house. Yesterday I had coffee for breakfast and 1/4 bagel PLUS the yogurt with sliced almonds. Much more than I usually eat in the morning. I cooked the chicken in the morning and ate 4 ounces around 10am. Then I had to leave when someone came to look at the house. Around 2pm I slice 3 ounces of avocado, a roma tomato, and added 3 large strawberries, thanks Katsolo for the avocado and tomato idea. I was really full after that. I had the rest of the chicken around 4. No IF yesterday since I ate for a longer period of time maybe 5:30 to 4:30. Today I will do more weed wacking since my lawn care service appears to have given up on me. Maybe take Bobby for a walk before it gets too warm. He was happy this morning when I added the yolk of a hard boiled egg to his food dish. Doctor told me to just eat egg whites or limit amount of whole eggs to just a couple a week. Sometimes I listen to him.

I have a doctor appointment in a few hours. Not eating before the appointment. Will weigh myself with clothes and shoes before leaving the house so I can compare my scale with the doctor's scale. I haven't posted my weight here for at least 2 months. Didn't want to see anything in the 180's after working so long to get below it. But on May 6th I stepped on the scale. 187. I consoled myself that it was after 2 cups of coffee and whatever else I ate or drank that morning. First thing in the morning on the 7th I weighed 185. Don't remember the fractions of pounds. This morning I was exactly 180. Looking at the calendar that is 5 pounds in a week! Not sure if it is because of the big reduction in carbs or just water. But the last time I lost 5 pounds in a week I had hyperthyroidism.
I will post my weight when it gets back to 178.5 or Sunday, whichever comes first

Dag 4 of trying to eat more protein than carbs. Yesterday really hard. I was hungry most of the day and really tired. Working outside with a weed wacker probably is part of the problem. I did take a bottle of water outside but only drank about 8 ounces. Got too hot and sweaty so stopped after maybe 30 minutes.
I don't plan on eating much today because I see my doctor tomorrow and would like weigh less than I did last appointment. I'll ask him about carbs. If staying between 60-100 carbs is healthy for me with protein higher than carbs. Although looking up dietary guidelines it sounds like more carbs, up to 50% of your macros is okay. But not from processed foods. Just adding the Oikos triple 3 yogurt adds 15 grams of protein. I know it is a processed food, but it's also dairy and for now I've stopped drinking fat free milk which has more carbs than protein.
I did buy beer battered cod in the frozen section of Costco a few days ago. Not the best idea but I can work it in. The rotisserie chicken was great for me (white meat) and the cats and Bobby (dark meat). I seem to remember being able to just a bag of rotisserie chicken breast meat a few years ago. Will look for that on my next visit.
No one has looked at my house since last Sunday and they were the only one in a week. I've noticed on realtor.com some price reductions and new listings that seem low. With the high interest rates I may have to lower the price of my house. Right now I'm reluctant since according to my realtor nothing is being looked at. I am planning on spending some money now for some kind of deck cover. The deck is crazy hot once temps go over 80 degrees ever since I had a huge oak tree cut down. There is no shade and the master bedroom is the hottest room in the house. I can see nice sunsets from the deck but it's so hot. I got a brochure from Costco for awnings and am waiting for an in home consultation. Probably expensive. I had talked to a contractor about building something but what he suggested was $15k.

A few days ago I heard someone on TV talking about things to do to live longer. One of the things he said was to have more protein than carbs. I wondered how I could possibly do that. I don't eat much meat although I have been having chicken more often. I usually try for at least 60 grams of protein (more than enough for me per my doctor) and to keep carbs below 100 grams (took a break from that for a couple months). So I googled what can I eat that isn't meat that has more protein than carbs. Eggs, cheddar cheese (I snack on low fat mozzarella sticks which has the same amount of carbs and protein with half the calories), pumpkin seeds (another frequent snack), and Greek yogurt. I used to eat yogurt when all there was was Yoplait. I know I wouldn't like plain unsweetened yogurt. On my trip to the new Costco which I wrote about yesterday, I bought a box of Oikos triple zero yogurt. 18 servings so I better like it. 15 grams of protein and lower carbs. I ate it for the first time yesterday and it wasn't as sweet as the yogurt I buy once in awhile, but I'll get used to it. I now have some hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator. So for yesterday and what I plan to eat today carbs are in the 60's and that includes blackberries. Instead of 2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds I've had 4. Protein has been around 70-80grams. It's motivating right now. Of course, the hot dog from Costco the other day ruined that day for carbs!
