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.
