7.45am3 eggs fried in butter - 1.5g
10.10am
60g cucumber - 2.2g
1.15pm
Left over lamb roast - 0g
2.30pm
SF choc - 4.1g
5.30pm
Harry's burrito in a bowl - 5g
7.20pm
4 strawberries and a celery stick with tzatziki - 9.6g... that's gotta be wrong... right? A tiny bit of swiss and ham I picked out of one of the sandwich triangles. I'm going to count those as zero.
8.50pm
The insides of a meat pie and a green salad - I can't find a count for this as it's always listed with the pastry. With the pastry it would be 37.8g. Phew! Glad I skipped that one! - going to give it 3g
Beverages
6 glasses of water, three cups of tea with milk - 2.5g - one black tea.
That gives a total of 27.9g carbs for the day, which is within my limits.
Stinking hot today... at least it's cooler for the rest of the week to come. Day 2 of TOM (it arrived a little later than expected) and I feel HUGE.
Did you notice yesterday I didn't have any SF choc? Woooo I'm cutting down!!
Spent the day trying to think of other things besides my bf being gone. Like NewVision said - I can choose to make it so he comes home to a slimmer me!
Thank you for all the Comments and support. I really appreciate it.
The lamb roast was great, I had a bit of zucchini and celery on the side too, but didn't get a chance to add it into my blog. I've never heard of NZ Lamb lol. I just get normal lamb and it's absolutely to-die-for. Maybe I get NZ lamb without knowing it? Speaking of which, the "LC Biscuits" I refer to are Kiwi. They are technically called "protein cookies" and here is a link to read more.
OK, so, idea time!
I posed a question in one of my Comments...
NewVision: Vadim, how about just doing Low Carb with me
Erika: NewVision, is that offer open to all? I'm getting an idea... we could maybe plan a day a week together (or as a group) of food and just follow that day.
Lynn, you reminded me of it. So, I'm going to count you in!! Any other takers? I think this might be fun! And as we don't have all the same shops/products available, I would think whatever we come up with will have to be good, wholesome food. Who's in?
Erika,
ReplyDeleteI thot your idea on Vadim's site was interesting. Count me in if ya'll decide to try it.
Good day, Erika.
ReplyDeleteI can't join you guys on this adventure. But, I'll be watching on the side-lines with both interest and a blowhorn in hand. :)
I'll be like a cheerleader - except fatter and hairier!
BTW - I think this is a good idea for an experiment. I've just got too many other things I'm juggling to add one more detail to the mix. That's the only reason why I can't participate at the moment.
Good luck and stay cool!
Erika, I am definitley in! But cant we wait until after New Year? I need to do this little personal thing, called protein shake one week bust out of my failure routine! Wait for me guys, I am coming!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about just eating the INSIDE of a meat pie....suppose the only carbs are in the gravy, eh? Probably the same with a sausage roll. Thanks for this idea! I've been giving them a miss, but occasionally, you just need a good ozzie pie or sausage roll!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I hear you about the burrito bowl.....I get on long-term food 'kicks' too.
