ONE DAY AT A TIME

1. No cheats - on plan food only. To aid with this I am taking a small notepad with me and when I see something I think I will throw in my mouth I am going to write it down instead. Doing well today. I am running low on extra food to take with me, but I am never far from a convenience store or grocery store when I have to go out so there is always pork rinds or cheese sticks or something. On my notepad: my mom wanted me to get rid of a packet of cheese n crackers for her. It's in my tote to go to work tomorrow. I got an idea for my b-day cake from a regular cake cookbook...figuring out how to do this low carb, and it'll be a long process to make it good but I want to attempt it. Meanwhile, the real recipe goes on the notepad. Not really tempted though. The soft-serve custard places are now open... nobody has SF, so on the notepad too.

Day 79 of 90

42 net carbs, 55g fiber, 3000 calories, and 16K steps. Switching from virtually no fiber for the past few months back to the high fiber version of LC that I did for quite some time during 'maintenance' has been fairly uneventful. With net carbs less than 50 and loads of fiber to slow down the digestion of sugar I still have steady energy, no cravings, and good satiety. But hands down, I feel better the low carb/low fiber way. I feel gassy, bloated, and thick. I'll do this for another week. When the cholesterol labs are taken, I'll be back to my mostly plant free WOE. It was working fine.

1. Drink 8 glasses of water a day 8/90

1. No cheats - on plan food only. To aid with this I am taking a small notepad with me and when I see something I think I will throw in my mouth I am going to write it down instead. Doing ok. Relying heavily on pork rinds and dip...had to stop at a gas station to get some more for my inbetween shifts at work food. Cross training on reference and youth services in the AM today, then I had 4 hrs to kill before I worked at 5. Too far to go home. On the notepad: crackers, cookies, candy, pretzels, potato chips

Day 80 of 90

40 net carbs, 2900 calories, 21K steps (including a 2 mile jog), and day 1 of adding upper body resistance training back to my routine. I'm still working long hours so between making meals, work, commuting and workouts I have very busy weekdays. But not only do I hold up amazingly well, the workouts are a great and welcome stress relieve. You'd think I'd be going to bed exhausted every day. That's not the case at all. What a difference being healthy, fit and active makes. And it all starts with eating right.

Hear, hear Ken. Good words.

1. No cheats - on plan food only. To aid with this I am taking a small notepad with me and when I see something I think I will throw in my mouth I am going to write it down instead. I am a bit early, here, but will post later if I need to. I am about to go for a walk among the local festival goers in this town -festival started today, stopped at the library first to pass some time. I am hungry but have my reliable pork rinds with me... Fair/festival food is a temptation and I'd like to see if there is ANY option at all...not sure that there is. I am not going to blow it now. There are stores/convenient places and I am not all that far from home, either. I haven't gone grocery shopping yet so low on some staples and have to be careful with budget. ** I had my days mixed up - the festival opens Thu. I did see though, a steak on a stick booth, so there is something for me if I end up going another day. Some fav festival food booths may be a bit much to navigate... resolve to NOT cave.
