I did better today:
6am fed the dogs and did the SSS and did some reading and took my vitamins
7am
2 eggs 2 sausage patties and small hash browns and coffee
( hey I said better, not great)

10:30 piece of ham rolled up (no bread) and water yay me!

2:30 grilled cheese sandwich and a small DP (16 oz) and a 32 oz mineral water

6:00 two plain hot dogs no condiments and a 12 oz Coke

8:30pm grilled chicken breast

I'll probably have coffee tonight about 9pm or so till about 10 pm
Anyone know how many carbs that is?
Or calories?

So this is pretty good for me
I felt good all day
I ate too many carbs though
I'm kinda tired but not lethargic

I took kids to school at 7 and went to work at 9 and fed the horses and fixed some fence and worked on the tractor and cleaned out the trailer and moved one group of horses to an alternate pasture and cleaned out a water trough and ordered some hay for next week
Went to finish up on a side job and got paid ( bathroom remodel)
Got home around 4 and picked kids up from school
Went to son's football game (they won 17-0 and he played great)
Got in an argument with number 1 daughter over school work
Took my #2 daughter to nail salon and picked her up after

About to go grill some chicken for dinner while wifey is at the store while daughter number three is at voice lessons

Need more coffee

Thanks for listening

I need to edit it too cause it's 12:21am here and I just went to the kitchen and stole a piece of pound cake and wanted more coffee but alas there was no more so I poured a glass of DP (not good)
Can I put this on tomorrow since technically it's after midnight? ;-)
Sigh

So far.
B. 3 egg omelette with chedder cheese and green pepper.
S. 5 almonds
L. Chicken breast with salad cream and mayo with half a yellow pepper.
S. ?? Maybe peanuts or pork scratchings.
D.??? Cod maybe or tuna dish but not sure yet. This is where I struggle as I feel I've had lots of protein but not enough veg. Maybe I could make spinach surrender. If I'm feeling this energenic and enthusiastic I could make some to freeze?
I still need some faithfuls to rely on to keep this diet going.
I'll keep my eyes open on here for my tastebuds to be awakened.
I'm struggling.
I need low calorie fatty dinners. ;-)

B: coffeencream and 2 97% sausage and a rasher of bacon
S: a 9bar, a portion of coconut yog with chai spices and (cough) squares of Galaxy choc.

Not really a snack, is it? Bit of a disaster, all in all. There i was, working away, and Mr B rings up, on his way home. Did i want anything? And it just popped out. The Galaxy word. Bizarre. And it was a joke. Honestly. I havent craved milk choc in over a year. So, 10 mins later, in he comes, brandishing the choccy bar. Never crossed my mind not to eat it! :banghead: Idecided to bury the evil deliciousness under the yog and 9bar.
Cunning, eh?
Also ineffective.
Bg didnt really spike too high, but the whole thing was sickly sweet and gave me a sugar headache.
Mr B has now hidden the rest of the bar, at my request. We are both pretending that i don't know it is in his middle desk drawer underneath his internet docs.

D: mince and cauli and onion and tomato. No pud!
