Here We Go Again

Monday, August 9, 2021

Oh crap it's Monday again.   Even though I went to bed at a reasonable hour I was still quite fatigued this morning.  At least my strategy of eating all the salt and drinking a Powerade Zero was (afaik) successful in warding off any night cramps.  Was quite concerned that it would be a rough night given how much water I had to drink to stay hydrated.

Let's see if I can be better this week and get rid of the pounds I gained during the break.

Breakfast:  Coffee

Standard.  Gave some fleeting thought to food mid-morning but wasn't actually hungry.

Lunch:  Ham and cheese on LC tortillas


This time it's La Bandeteria carb counter tortillas.  They all seem to be about the same, basically just wheat starch and not much else.  I have a couple packages to use up so I may as well.  I don't love them, but I bought 'em.

Dinner:   Marinated sirloin, mashed potatoes TCD style, Meijer spicy veg juice, 12 oz All Day IPA


I didn't weigh the steak or anything but it's definitely no more than 6 oz.  I had ingredients on hand for the marinade since I had been planning to do flank steak over the weekend but that never materialized.  All was completely delicious (and not just due to the metric ton of butter in the potatoes).

Spent way too much time this afternoon on the TCD website and waffling as to whether to be more "pure" low carb or more TCD which is definitely NOT low carb.  I am having a hard time deciding -- it's more of a challenge to eat clean (for either plan) during the summer, too much eating out.

Exercise:  Nope.  Rest day.  I was wiped after the weekend.  Too much humidity.
