Still taking pictures.

Wednesday, January 9th. Coffee, 2 sausage, 2 eggs. More eggs for lunch (3 med as salad w/capers) carrot and celery sticks and radishes.



For dinner used up the rest of the savoy cabbage along with a barely visible blackened pork chop (not on purpose) and a salad.

Hungry watching movies later on. Had a mug of coffee and a small handful of PowerPop and a couple of werther's coffee caramel sugar-free candies.

Thursday, January 10th. Coffee, bacon and two eggs.



Really, really drowsy at work. Got the largest, strongest coffee I could. Was chipper and perky the rest of the day.


Lunch was a sandwich made on high-fibre (since we can't call it low-carb in Canada anymore) bread. Montreal smoked meat with a little cheese and dijon mustard. Carrot and celery sticks and a few radishes. Yogourt for dessert that I didn't eat until afternoon break. Wasn't too hungry at lunch because of the gallon of coffee but by mid-afternoon I wanted something more. Bought a small bag of almonds at the grocery and was going to count, but ended up eating more than half the bag. When I got home and weighed it discovered 80g of almonds missing. Didn't seem like much but sure packs a lot of calories!


Sliced turkey breast with a little gravy and piles of oven-roasted cauliflower. Also salad. Big mug of de-caf with a little sugar-free Torani syrup (english toffee flavour) which is kinda like dessert.

I'm baaaack!

On January 5th, 2008 after a being sick for a big chunk of November and partying and eating and drinking way too much during December I re-committed to being mindful of what I ate and keeping track - maybe not quite a religiously as previously.
Started taking pictures on Jan 5th and haven't posted yet since I wasn't sure how it would work after all this time - so far, so good. So since I have them here's a quick run down of the last few days.

Doug made dinner tonight. Taco salad. Lettuce, tomato, 120g of lean ground beef, 40g of shredded cheese and a big blog of sour cream.
Later while watching one of our new favorite shows "Chuck" I split a small bag of Power Pop, popcorn with Doug. Only 25g and very moreish - Doug talked me out of any more though. Thanks!

Well, that wasn't so hard...

Here I was thinking that getting back on track after straying further and further and finally giving up entirely for more than a week would be a real struggle. I guess I've been weighing and recording my food for so long now that it's pretty easy to get right back to it. Surprise!
Coffee.Two eggs fried in a little butter.
Didn't really feel like going out but Rob came and picked me up and took me to scooter coffee and then to do some groceries. Thanks Rob - I do feel better for getting out! I had a Moka-sized Americano at the Moka House at Shoal Point.
Snack on some celery when I was organizing the groceries and preparing dinner.
Roast beef (122g) and broccoli (60g) and our usual side salad. I made a few tablespoons of gravy with the pan drippings.
Having skipped most of a meal today I was a bit hungry in the evening. I had 1/4 of a pear and 15g of monchego sheep cheese and 25g of Bresse bleu. Yum!
Grand totals for today only 1,140 calories and 27 grams of carbs. At this rate I should hit my low weight from last month in a day or two.
