Not Quite Carb Free

Wednesday, January 29, 2025

Apparently yesterday's diet was sufficiently low in carbs.  Water left and continues to leave this morning.  Which is good.  I'm slightly surprised, since I did have a cup of mashed potatoes and a beer, so it wasn't like I was grain free, and I also had a large quantity of beans.  Eggs and cheese and meatloaf aren't carb free either.  But okay!

Weird night of sleep.  Didn't wind down well apparently as I was not sleepy.  Finally nodded off somewhere in the 1:30 range, and I was awake before 4:00.  Not really sure why.  Some ineffective snoozing followed, I doubt I got much more than four hours of actual sleep.  And yet I don't feel horrible and really didn't when I first woke up either.  Still, we'll give is a grade of D+.  Could be worse.

Scale was definitely my friend, nice drop which was allll water.  If I don't gain anything in the next two days I'll hit my very modest January goal, which is good, since it will be in spite of my generalized diet failure.  It would be a nice boost to the process.

Breakfast:  3.5 strips CF hickory bacon, coffee

Last of the bacon, good as always.

Lunch:  Deluxe taco bowl (1/3 lb taco meat, 1C spicy beans, cheddar, cotija, guac, jalapenos, sour cream)

Very tasty. Dunno if I'll go through the full assembly every day, but meat and beans and stuff is pretty easy when it's been prepped in advance.

Dinner:  Quick enchilada eggs, 12 oz All Day IPA

Usually if I have enchilada eggs I do a baked casserole version.  This is the quickie - 3 CF eggs scrambled in a bit of olive oil with some cooked CF breakfast sausage, add cheese and top with La Preferida organic red enchilada sauce.  Very tasty.  The sauce is the cleanest kind I've found at the store, I think I have a Frederik's that isn't bad, but most are loaded with seed oil and other garbage.  I'll get two more meals, easy, out of the sausage and sauce.

If I get home at a reasonable hour I may have a glass of milk.

Exercise:  Nope.  Another night at the office.
