HOT DOG! (low carb, of course)
I got on the scale this morning and saw a 269.8 staring back at me. I'm booking it! I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S NOT MY WEIGH IN DAY!!! This is after a couple of tumultuous weeks with serious workout soreness, prescription water pill changes and some not so great food choices. Oh yeah...I'm booking it cuz I SAID SO!
I had a BBQ every single night this weekend. I had food police on my ass Saturday AND Sunday, so only a couple minor infractions that I heard about every chance they got to chastise me. Crimony! It was 10 Doritos...sheesh! 4 months ago, it would have been the whole bag! Yesterday I took a couple of nibbles of non-Atkins things at the third bbq but kept the portions so small that I feel ok with the choices. (tablespoon of baked beans, tablespoon of Spanish rice, a hot dog, about 2 oz's of chicken, salad with dressing, ONE cracker with cheese and salami...no desert...not bad!)
My keto stix are understandably lighter than usual. I don't care what anyone else says, my personal feeling is you have to find a way to fit this in your life in a way that doesn't make you feel deprived. I didn't feel deprived...I didn't feel out of control...I didn't feel ashamed. It's my body...and if I feel like eating a handful of Doritos, then I will...and if I suffer consequences, I have to deal with the fact it was a choice I made.
I’ve started my day with a hearty breakfast bowl sans potatoes from Jack in the Box today... 6 grams of carb but great in a pinch! I was starving and have nothing prepped in my kitchen because of the busy weekend. Shame on me! Dinner tonight SHOULD have been chicken cuz I have some defrosted in my fridge, but I just got asked out on a coffee date that is gonna wreck that plan. CRUD! I’ll have to think of something to cook up when I get home that I can store for leftover-lunches for the week. I pulled a bunch of miscellaneous ingredients out of the fridge for lunch...snort...we’ll see how well that works out. LOL I believe my lunch sack includes roasted turkey, sliced cheese, celery (but forgot cream cheese...nice), mayo and some salami. Maybe I'll go out for lunch. LOL
Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be more prepared for this week!
I had two AMAZING workouts this weekend. One was with my trainer...who I told I had no pain from our first workout...so she stepped it up ten notches. I think I’m in love. Sunday morning I woke up and could hardly roll over in bed...felt every freakin muscle in my abdomen. FABULOUS! Pain or not, I still went to the gym and did laps in the pool...I have no idea how long but I think 20 minutes worth...coulda been more. I can’t wait to go back. I’m extremely proud of the work I did this weekend. I’m so happy to find things that actually WORK for me! I was supposed to work out again tonight with the trainer, but forgot that I had a conflicting physical therapy appointment. My next appointment is set for Friday night! I gotta get in there between now and then and get some cardio in. I’m so pumped right now!
