Three Of Four Not Great

Sunday, Jaunary 21, 2024
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
