And I"m somewhere in between Ducky and Nancy. I've never been able to eat a 20-oz steak. About a 12-oz steak has always been my limit. The last two nights I had one 12-oz steak in two servings (6-oz each night). While I would have enjoyed the entire 12-oz steak each night, I have to say I was satisfied with the 6-oz serving.
As for my progress . . . I can't believe I'm DOWN today!!! I was DOWN 1.6 pounds since yesterday, which brings me in a solid 2.0 pounds BELOW LDW!!! And a total loss of 24.8 pounds since January 1 ! ! ! ! !!
Yesterday’s goal was to raise the calories to 1249. Done and dusted. Today I raise the calories to 1500. It’s very difficult for me to raise the calories without also raising the protein amount (Biz wants me to keep the protein down to 75 grams, even if I have more than 2000 calories).
I don’t like avocados at ALL. Blech. Nor do I like mayo. I
adore butter, heavy cream, and sour cream (especially on scrambled eggs with salsa). I’m not having cheese or nuts yet, per Biz, though I did ask that question today in Boot Camp. I know I could add at least 100 calories by adding 1 more serving of both fruit and veggie today, but not interested.
I might even start getting sneaky and splitting my veggies into two "servings," like saying I had a salad with both lunch and dinner when in fact I had only one salad.
Still figuring out the menu for today.
No sour cream in the house, but now that I'm thinking of it, I know have a recipe for 80%-Fat Pancakes, which would be good in the mornings. I'll have to get sour cream when I'm out today.
