Day 28
Four weeks in. Coming up shortly, a one month review.
I hit all of the major non-fish meat groups today - pork, beef and chicken. Wheeee. Not many veggies, though. I thought about a salad for dinner but didn't make one. My sleep schedule is still wonky and I was a little tired. Going to try to sleep earlier tonight.
Breakfast: 3 oz. ham
I think this is the best deli ham I've tried so far -- Dietz & Watson Virginia brand. I had been going through the various smoked hams and this morning at least I appreciated the milder flavor of a virginia ham.
Lunch: 3 homemade meatballs, dressing made of chipotle mayo and Heinz low sugar ketchup.
Some years ago I picked up a copy of Alex Haas' Everyday Low Carb Cooking. I have to admit that I've only made a handful of recipes, but one that I keep coming back to is his meatball recipe. He comments that he used to frequent a buffet that served cold meatballs with thousand island dressing and that they were delicious. I had to try it, and he's right. Yum. The chipotle mayo added a nice kick to my dressing. I made a half batch of 9 meatballs so the three I ate totaled 6 oz of ground beef pre-cooking. I forsee the same thing on my plate for lunch tomorrow and Wednesday!
Dinner: About half a Meijer deli roasted chicken.
Relatively quick and easy. I'll eat the leftovers tomorrow, which pushes the pork chops back to Wednesday I guess.
Dessert: Fage plain 2% yogurt with about 8 frozen strawberries.
I let the berries defrost a bit more this time. Yum.
