Saturday's eatings

Thank goodness for the daylight savings to standard time change. I had a rough night and really needed that extra hour. My persistent sinus infection that has left me open to cold after cold is still with me and after procrastinating 5 days and hoping that "it would clear up on it's own" I've given in and started taking the antibiotic my doctor prescribed last week.

Started the day with coffee.Bacon and eggs (2 each).
Having not done groceries in awhile we both had a Flat-Out brand high-fibre wrap with salami, cheese and a handful of greens. I also made sure to take my acidophilus supplement to counter-act the antibiotic.
Doug had a package of these maltitol sweetened peppermint patties. I had one.
While rooting around in the depths of the fridge for anything for dinner I found a pomegranate so had that for a snack. Ate about 2/3 of the thing since bits of it were starting to go off.
With no meal planning in place we ended up with a cheese and mushroom omelet for supper (with a tiny bit of chopped bacon). Made a big salad to try and compensate for lack of vegetables today.

Saturday and Sunday and maybe that's it

So I've had a cold or something for a few days now. We're both dealing with strike action at work and I haven't been cooking like I used to because I just don't seem to have the energy to even do the grocery shopping.

Over the past couple of weeks I've noticed that I have missed a few pictures because I was distracted and didn't take one of a coffee or snack or what have you. Moreover a couple of times I have taken my picture then taken another couple of nuts or added a something that didn't make it into this blog.
When I started this it really was "Everything" and now it's not so it's just not working anymore. I haven't actually lost any weight in the past month. It doesn't help that my visits to the gym have been sporadic and low-carb is just a vague memory - but I know that if I don't find another gimmick to get me back on track I'm in danger of backsliding.
Thanks for reading. If I come up with anything else I'll definitely post about it here and if I come up with a new blog or page I'll make sure to add a link.
Thanks again for your support.

Saturday dinner. Beef stew with carrot and jicama that I dug out of the freezer.Jell-o nsa pudding cup.
Sunday, coffee at the Moka House. I had a large americano and a bran and berry muffin that wasn't very good, I ate about 2/3 of it.
After coffee, Rob took me on a couple of errands and I invited him in for coffee. I bought two boxes of the new Peak Freans Lifestyle cookies. Lemon and jam filled. They're made with regular flour but low-sugar. I had one of each with another coffee.
Afternoon snack - pomegranate.
Sunday dinner. Roast chicken, mashed celery root a little gravy and a side salad.
Safeway brand of nsa frozen dessert pop.

Thursday and Friday - came down with a cold...

Felt tired Thursday and by the end of the day felt chilled and had a sore throat and some body aches. Didn't blog on time and didn't really keep track.







Friday woke up in the wee hours barely able to breathe with congestion. Doug called in sick for me and I eventually slept again until noon. Had a mixture of ginger-ale and low-cal cranberry juice a couple of times along with some clear tea. Doug was home and was able to feed me a couple of small meals.

Thursday - post number 202

As ususal - started with coffee.Didn't make lunch - had strange work hours today. Bought this on my way to work Broccoli Delight salad. They had others but the dressing on this one had the least carbs. It was pretty tasty, especially nice having salty roasted sunflower seeds that stuck to the broccoli thanks to the ranch dressing.Closed the library early for strike action but had to go downtown for a city council meeting this evening. Made coffee (to help me stay awake during the meeting) had more broccoli, cooked this time 145g, the last of the sweet potato from Thanksgiving dinner (80g) and some chicken (100g) with cranberry sauce (1 tbsp) since we already finished the turkey.
Thought this pomegranate looked really nice but it was under-ripe in parts so I only had about half.
Back to some of my bad habits. Feeling put-upon and bored after the council meeting (even though I only stayed for an hour) I came home and had 32g of mixed nuts and a Ross' nsa chocolate bar for a snack. I did eat them slowly and mindfully - but wasn't really hungry.
Since I ate so little early in the day my total calories today were only 1,128 although counting the maltitol as carbs, my total was 71g. The sweet potato was kinda high and surprisingly the fitday doesn't list any fibre in a pomegranate although I'm pretty sure all those little seeds should count for something!

Another good day

Coffee with a little added into the Vanilla protein drink for flavour and less sweetness.



After going to the gym I made another cup of coffee and an omelet with mushrooms and some deli turkey that needed eating up.


While not on the low-carb list, a pomegranate is full of little seeds and takes a lot of time and work to eat. Also I really like them.

Roast chicken with brussel sprouts and a side salad for dinner.

And another of those little jell-o nsa puddings.

Later on a 40g serving of mixed nuts and a little diet pop.
