It's been a minute.
It's been a while, friends.
There hasn't been much happening in the diet department. I've been staying relatively the same weight-wise but dropping back into bad habits of eating and I need to get that fire under my ass like I had before.
Breakfast:
1/2 cup almonds: 6g net carbs
1 cup whole fat Greek Fage Yogurt: 8g net carbs
Berries: ~10g net carbs
Snacks:
2 Mini Kind bars: 9g net carbs
2 cups Boom Chicka Pop kettle corn: 19g net carbs
Lunch:
Omelette: ~5g net carbs
2 pieces of whole wheat toast: ~22g net carbs
So, so far today I had a total of 79g of net carbs. My goal is to stay between 100 and 150g net carbs per day. My weight has been ranging from 225-229 within the span of a day, so it's so hard for me to judge where I am at. I might need to invest in a better, more reliable scale because it's been giving me issues lately.
It is now later tonight (9:37) and I'm waiting for my dinner of cauliflower pizza to cool enough to eat. I had a couple of proud moments of willpower tonight at the grocery store. I really (REALLY) wanted a baked sweet good. First I calculated in my head if I could get a pumpkin donut from Dunkin', but decided against that. Next, I saw some 'bake in a cup' muffins at the store. I wanted them. They were ~47g carbs per serving. My addict brain tried to rationalize with my sane self that I could eat half of the serving size and save the rest for later. I literally had my hand halfway to the container, paused for a good 5 seconds in deliberation, and then moved on without them. This type of thing happened throughout the store. I left with the biggest sweet carb items being a Clif bar which I plan on nibbling on for the next few days (total has around 14g I believe), and a full-size Kind bar of dark chocolate, almonds, and mint. I ate half, so 6g net carbs, and am saving the rest for later.
Recently, I have been having a lot of Atkins sweet products like fake M&Ms and stuff. It seemed like a good way to curb my sweet tooth while not feeling deprived. But apparently, that stuff has a lot of junk in it and has a lot more carbs than the 'net carbs' posted on the front of the box. I have officially cut it out, and here's to hoping I see and notice a difference this week.
I am going to keep this post short but sweet. I have a lot more to say about my mental health and everything, but if I keep writing in this, I don't know when I'll get around to posting it. So for now, I will end on a good note, like I've learned over my years in the equestrian world.
