Two Step Future Action Plan

Sunday, March 30, 2014

I hate to think about it, but it really is the truth.  If I want to lose the weight at an accelerated pace, I need to do two things.  Simple things.  One, cut the starch.  My weight fluctuates too much and I retain fluid when I eat it.  I have been ending up between 100g and 150g of carb most days, it needs to be under 50g.  Second, I need to exercise.  Walk, building right back up to 3 miles a day.  An hour a day is not in any way too much time, it's a small investment in well being.  So:  When I get back from vacation, I need to do these.

Tired this morning, stayed up to watch the basketball.   Better off if I don't care, or if I had a DVR.

Breakfast:  2 slices sharp cheddar, coffee (185 calories).

No real way to make this interesting, I'm afraid.  Another Sunday of trying to eat the usual breakfast, so that I can have a good lunch and then the usual dinner issues.

Lunch:  3 eggs fried in a bit of butter, 4 strips Plumrose bacon, 2 C Alexia hash browns (815 calories)

Cracked open the new, giant bottle of hot sauce too

Almost perfect.  I forgot to turn the heat down on the hash browns, so they were just a bit toasty.  Otherwise fantastic.  I didn't reduce the quantity on anything and actually added an egg, since it's early, a long time to dinner and I was hungry.  Hope I can be responsible tonight.

Snack:  2 slices sourdough toast with peanut butter (570 calories).

Got very hungry.  This was an irresponsible choice.

Dinner:  Canned spaghetti with ground beef, salad with homemade ranch, garlic toast (1,500 calories)

Not pictured:  Seconds.

Yikes.  I got carried away.  Oh, and that is way more dressing than I usually use!

Day Totals:  3,070 calories.  And that might be conservative.

Exercise:  Nope.  Puttered around the house, that's it.
