Day Twenty
Okay, I am no longer zen. I'm irked. Up again today, that's three times in four days. And this wasn't a min-gain. It wasn't huge, but frankly any gain at all is grating when there have been no eating stumbles of any consequence. So, I'm going to shake things up a little. I'm going to have some carbs today, to see if that resets the system, then be a little stricter than usual tomorrow. I didn't even have a low BP number to celebrate. It was decent, about the same as last night, but higher than the last couple mornings. I still think carb restriction is the long-term answer and it's dumb to focus on short term stuff, but when you have as much baggage as I do gains are really effing annoying.
Part of it of course is the ongoing failure to exercise, and that also needs to be corrected. It did not happen this morning - while I got up about 5:30, I was still tired and quickly dozed off. Did not get up until after 9:30, which is crazy. The whole day is thrown off. Which is problem, I have lots to do.
Also had a couple foot/ankle cramps. Not major ones, but still irritating. I didn't have any good salt yesterday, so maybe I flushed out too much potassium and didn't replace it?
Breakfast: 3 CF eggs (2), scrambled with leftover CF chorizo (0) and mexicheese (2) and sour cream (1). Avocado (2), coffee (0)
I guess you can call it breakfast. First meal of the day and it's after 11:00.
Lunch: Homemade chex mix (33e)
Here we go, some concentrated carbs. Someone gifted me a bag of mix on Friday. Went with the carb count for commercial mix, figure this is about a cup, maybe less. So it's estimated but should be in the ballpark.
Dinner: Tequila lime chicken, black beans, spanish rice, guacamole, cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, a couple Tostitos (100e), 24 oz Miller Lite (6)
Birthday party, Sunday night. I was able to pass on the cake and ice cream. Now we wait and see what the extra carbs do. I had a few more than intended, but we'll just have to see what the impact will be. At least everything was very tasty. Almost forgot the photo.
Exercise: Nope. See above. And tomorrow is going to be a problem too, since I didn't get enough time at the office today.
Day totals: $0.00 spent, 146 g carb (est), not at all a success but intentional, let's see if it produces a reset.
76.2
