Day Twenty-One

And now we wait to see what the impact of the carb load ends up being.  The initial result was amusing, as I dropped the weight I "gained" the day before.  Didn't notice any other effects, really.  To be seen.

I did have another very good BP number this morning.  It would be incredible if it keeps improving and I hit the normal range.  It's close, though part of the deal is it needs to be consistent and the morning numbers are often better than the evening numbers.

Breakfast:  3 strips CF garlic black pepper bacon (0), coffee (0)

I may have overcooked it a shade yesterday, but it was better than I thought it was going to be on re-heat.  All good.

Lunch:  Barbacoa bowl with cheese, salsa, sour cream, guac and jalapenos (10)

Should be accurate within a gram or two either way, I think.  In a rush so I didn't weigh anything.  I don't know what it is about mexican food but I do love it all mixed up in a bowl.  Originally I planned to be stricter and just have barbacoa and maybe an avocado, but decided I'm okay with the works.

Dinner:  CF italian sausage (0) with pasta sauce (7) and mozzarella (1), iceburg salad with parm, pepperocini and homemade vinegar/EVOO dressing (3), 12 oz Miller Lite (3), Bakenets hot n spicy pork rinds (4)

Of all the pork rinds I've tried, those might be my favorite.  Unfortunately not super clean on ingredients (MSG, artificial colors etc) so I shouldn't get them again.  Need to find a spicy variety that's cleaner.

Found a jar of pepperocinis in the pantry, score.  They were exactly what my salad was begging for.  Took it up multiple notches.

Exercise:  Nope.  Unsurprisingly I had a hard time going to sleep last night, ended up with a few hours in the recliner.  Was fretting about this morning's work, which went better than expected.

Day totals:  $0.00 spent, 28 g carb, success

75.8
