Strangely normal work day

Had coffee for breakfast and a few sips of whey protein drink - took the rest to work and had on morning break.Lunch was tuna salad, radishes, celery and jicama.
Finally got to my thermos of coffee late in the afternoon.
For dinner made chicken breasts in creamy mushroom sauce. Also some sauted zucchini and a side salad.
Nsa, fat-free creamsicle.
1,643 calories and only 36g of carbohydrates. A few more days like this will hopefully jump-start me back into quick loss mode.

Heavy cream is your enemy... aparently

Started off with coffee.85g of strawberries from my own little plants and 1/2 cup yogourt.

Two servings (30g) of pork rinds. That's the last of that temptation for awhile.Swiss cheese and celery. I started with a very small piece of cheese...

but real emmental is soooo good I had to have more. I also had lots more celery but that hardly counts towards either calories or carbs.
For dinner I made the recipe of Chicken breast in creamy mushroom sauce - only we didn't have breasts, only a couple of little thighs so I threw in some frozen shrimp that we'd had for almost too long. The sauce is mostly heavy cream with a little xanthan gum to thicken. It was so good I had another spoonful for seconds. When doing low-carb and not counting calories I never worried about this, however the sauce was about 300 calories all by itself! Also a small salad.


Have been craving chocolate for most of the day - had this little treat even though I wasn't really hungry after such a rich dinner.
Still craving chocolate later on. Made cocoa with cocoa powder, splenda and more heavy cream. Again lower in carbs - but much higher in calories.
Today's calories an apalling 1,878 and 51g of carbohydrates. I did my stretches and ab exercises but still didn't go to the gym. Hoping to have the energy to do something more useful tomorrow.

Trying hard to get back to normal.

Started out as normal with coffee...
and bacon and eggs (2 and 2 this time).
For lunch a can of Brunswick Kippered snacks, four radishes and a handful of celery sticks.
An hour before it was time to start making dinner I was getting pretty hungry so I had a handful (60g) of the green beans that were destined for supper.
Made chicken breast with mushroom sauce, steamed green beans and our usual salad.
Later on feeling peckish so had 30g of almonds and...
two mini-Mr. Freezes. I found a big box (90 count) of these little (20ml) sugar-free freezer pops in the Shopper's Drug Mart the other day on discount for 1.99 - what could I do? They're sweetened with Splenda and the label says 5 calories and 1.2g of carbohydrate per pop. What a deal. The only problem is they're so tiny I really needed two.
That gives a very low-carb total of 1,450 calories and 28g of carbohydrates. With any luck I'll do as well tomorrow.
