Woke up today and wanted turkey bacon and eggs, giving it a few days to "reset" seems to have worked. I really want to stick to this eating plan, so I'm trying to make sure to give myself the things I'm craving - within moderation, of course. I'm not going to order a pizza with cheesy bread and have icecream, obviously. But if I want pizza I can try out a lower carb obtion like tomato sauce & cheese over squash or some such. I found a low carb pizza recipe I was really excited to try...until I typed all of the information in on here and discovered it was 1480 calories for it (and it was a small, so 2 servings). Erg. Maybe not.
I know there are LCHF people who are firm believers that you don't have to count calories, just carbs, but I'm much more comfortable giving myself more carbs and keeping my calories in check. I've tried the super low carb (20 carbs or less daily) and it wasn't something I could maintain. I don't have that kind of willpower. I think I'm doing "moderate" low carb? Right now I'm getting roughly 35% calories from fat, 38% from protein (that's probably too high?) and 21% from carbs - that's rough estimates, doing math in my head is not my strong suit.
Found a site that is dedicated to low carbing and sweet goodies (made from scratch). I think I might give the chocolate waffles a go next weekend. We're going to the movies and I know it's a "no no" to sneak in your own snacks, but I'm going to anyway - I'll buy one of their super expensive bottles of water to compensate.

Physical therapy days I always end up sore and extremely hungry and I end up eating more; not as much as I burn, I don't think. Today I spent extra time on the exercise bike and I walked part of the way home rather than riding the bus the whole way. I'll be paying for it tomorrow, in fact I'm starting to pay for it now, lots of aches.
I'm very impatiently waiting for my husband to get home. We're going to have those cumin chicken wraps when he gets here.

Ever notice how when you’re stressing out about something your nightmares are incredibly stressful, but not about the same topic at all? That was me last night. Before I drifted off to sleep I was thinking, “what if you weigh in tomorrow, and you’ve gained?”. Uhg. The postman rang and woke me, thankfully.
So, today is weigh day and it’s been bothering me. I un-officially weighed in before and didn’t register the results as I’d like to try and ween myself to once-a-week. I’m sure some of this is just water weight, and I’m guessing some of it is fluctuation, but I’m still happy. From 272 to 267.1 :D Nearly 5lbs! No doubt I’ll settle into something much more moderate in the coming weeks. Still, not a bad start and I’m feeling motivated today!
Weigh-in:
267.1 lb
lost so far:
4.9 lb
still to go:
107.1 lb
Diet followed reasonably well

Tomorrow is weigh day. Feeling anxiety. Thankfully I have a little project I'm working on to keep me busy, fingers crossed that I don't drive myself nuts before tomorrow.

Tried something new for breakfast today; the hubby didn’t have to go into work right away so I had a little time. I fried up some leftover chicken breast in a pan, spiced with cumin, black pepper, and garlic. Then I chopped up some cucumber and used the low carb tortilla wraps. Really simple, but very tasty. My hubby had his with hot sauce and regular tortilla wraps that dwarfed my small ones by quite a bit. But I felt really full (maybe even a little too full) after the meal. Perhaps one wrap with chicken and more veggies next time. Definitely a “saving it” meal to have in future.
I have physical therapy this afternoon which means I’ll be spending a decent amount of time exercising; leg presses, leg curls, using the stationary bike, and walking. It’s silly but it makes me feel a little less guilty about the 431 calorie breakfast.
