#food logging

it ain’t much, but it’s honest work

Lunch: Roll with cheese and green salad, pretzel with butter, side salad (green salad, carrots, bell pepper, radishes, vinaigrette)

So I’ve really begun food logging again and I made a disturbing discovery that I should’ve thought about sooner.

Apparently, my sugary coffee drinks that I have throughout the day are a huge part of my problem. It’s been cold and I haven’t been thinking twice about what I’m drinking. 

Do you know what’s made up the majority of my caloric intake today? Coffee drinks. I just made a big egg white, turkey, and vegetable omlette for dinner that didn’t even make a dent in my daily limit.

Those few delicious creamy, homemade coffee drinks made up the majority.

So, yeah. Ease up on the sugar, sports.

When I don’t blog for a few days you get a mishmash of random pictures!  

I’m not going to detail them all but trust that I’m eating well (KETO FRIENDLY!) and losing weight!  Huzzah!  

Since rejoining the weight loss wagon last Monday I’ve lost a total of 6.9 pounds in 8 days!  Hot damn I’ll take it!  

I’ve been trying to eat more intuitively which led to today’s lack of eating.  I just wasn’t hungry (SO WEIRD, I know).  I should have eaten something before going to powerlifting though.  Won’t make that mistake again soon.  

Check out the happy sign I saw at the check-out at Costco!  Love seeing things to make others smile :)

Today at powerlifting we did squats (ugh, right) but this time, I actually went up in weight!  I put five pounds each side on my trainer bar so it’s still less weight than an actual bar but I didn’t fall or get stuck so that’s a victory in my book!  My coach even had me readjust the bar position on my back, widen and tilt out my feet more which made my squat so much easier!!  Love having a smaller class with more individual attention.  Which reminds of me of Friday’s class!!  It was literally just one other girl and myself.  I had so much individual attention it totally threw me off.  I was rushing through my breaks because I felt bad for her just sitting there waiting for me to recover.  Bad, I know.  The picture I included of the block pulls was on Friday.  Thought it was a neat shot.  

Anyway, happy Monday!

Alright, so today was kind of just a mess. But I attempted at a day of good eating, tomorrow I’ll give it another shot. 

Breakfast this morning was on point, 

 Keto sour cream pancakes 

Lunch wasn’t as good, I made a poor choice with salad dressing. 

Ruby Tuesday Salad bar, salad made with cucumber pieces, ham chunks, sunflower seeds, romaine lettuce, red peppers, bacon, cheese,  grilled chicken breast, and honey mustard salad dressing. 

I ate two plates full at lunch so for dinner I really only brought along a liter of water raw red pepper slices, and some strawberries.  I’m over on my carb limit, under on my fats and over on my protein. 

It’s like a half win. Tomorrow my focus is the carbs. I need, need, need to keep those buggers under control. 

School wise, I’m maintaining. I’ve not missed a single due date, it’s been a struggle to get the homework finished. Biology is still kicking my ass (mitosis vs meiosis is for the birds)

Yesterday was my birthday, so it's safe to say that I did not eat healthy this weekend. What a great way to keep going after finding out that I'd lost weight, right? I'm deciding not to beat myself up about it though, because I was home with family and friends, and just didn't want to worry about it. My food logging also went out the window, but now I'm back at it! Now I just have to figure out what to do about the cake in my fridge...
