tired and lazy, or just lazy... here's Wednesday's eats

Breakfast was coffee, half a cup of yogourt and just over half a cup of rhubarb.Coffee break.
One of those little cans of smoked tuna slices with ginger, a baby cucumber, radishes, no-sugar-added jell-o pudding and celery.
Afternoon break. Diet ginger-ale, 30g almonds and a hard-boiled egg.
Dinner was a rather large pork chop (190g), some sauted zucchini and a side salad.
More rhubarb for dessert.
Wanting a little something later on I found I still have dark chocolate covered ginger in the freezer - one piece.
Totals for Wednesday: 1,350 calories and 45g of carbohydrates.

Dinner alone again.

Good morning - it must be time for coffee.One strip of bacon and two fried eggs.
More coffee.
Pastrami (60g), cheese (30g), four radishes, one mini-cucumber, some celery and some fiesta fruit sugar-free jell-o.
Didn't know what to have for dinner. A frittata seemed easiest. Included with the three eggs are 100g of broccoli, 4 large mushrooms and about 25g of that yummy bacon I cooked up and froze the other day.
About 1/2 a cup of rhubarb sweetened with splenda for dessert.
1,377 calories and only 28g of carbohydrates. And I exercised today - can't wait for weigh-in tomorrow morning!

Almost made it...

and by that I mean I almost made it through the day without having something that I probably shouldn't have if I continue to pretend to be living low-carb.

Started well with one sausage, one fried egg and my usual coffee.Went to physio/exercises then to my mom's for lunch. She had cold loin of pork and a little salad. I'm figuring 100-120g pork, a bit of lettuce, two thick slices of tomato, celery sticks, a sprinkling of fresh garden herbs and a squirt of rice vinegar.
Dessert was rhubarb cooked with splenda.
I was hungry well before dinner so I had 29g of almonds and made some coffee - which I promptly forgot about.
Dinner was roast chicken. I had a small breast only 107g, some broccoli and our usual side salad.
Found the coffee I had forgotten so made iced coffee which was nice since it's still pretty warm in the apartment.
Doug brought home some two-for-one baked goods from the Village Patisserie. This is a chunk off their "fruit 'n' fibre" muffin. It's extremely dense and made with whole wheat flour and flax as well as raisins and dried apricots. Healthy perhaps, low-carb - not even close. I broke off about a third and weighed it to input in fitday just as "bran muffin" which is as close as I could get. (ie not very)
Still, overall for the day 1,397 calories and about 58g of carbohydrates.

same old, same old

Two eggs, fried and two pork patties. Coffee.Coffee at break time while I started a letter to Jen.
Once again tuna salad. Mushrooms, celery and rhubarb for dessert.
Coffee and a bite of cheese (30g) for afternoon break.
So warm out (and in the apartment) that we weren't really interested in cooked dinner. We had cold chicken and a slightly larger than normal salad.
A while later I had some strawberries and 30g of Bresse blue cheese.
Totals for today 1,385 calories and 34g of carbohydrates.

appointments in the morning, work in the afternoon

Up early to go to the orthotist for my new orthotics. They'll take awhile to get used to but I think they may help. Coffee and a some more of the Whey Protein shake for a quick breakfast.

Went straight to exercise after my appointment so was famished when I got home. Bacon and egg (2 each) and more coffee.
My columbine is blooming. And I had a sugar-free, fat-free creamsicle before heading out to work.
Dinner was a pork chop (110g), some green beans, a couple of tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce and a salad. On the side you can see calcium, potassium and glucosamine.
Rhubarb for dessert.
Still low on calories for the day and still hungry so three strawberries and 37g of my new favorite cheese, the Bresse Bleu.
Totals today 1,375 calories and 37g of carbohydrates.

a long day

As always - in the beginning is the coffee (it was good).Since I was going to work out this morning I had a light breakfast of yogourt and stewed rhubarb (what am I going to do when rhubarb season is over?).
Doug made lunch for me because I was running late. One slice of bacon and a two-egg mushroom omelet with some cheddar cheese melting inside. Yum. And my sweetie made it for me. Double yum.
Though it was rainy this morning by noon the sun had come out and it was warm and a little muggy, I stopped at the ubiquitous coffee shop for an Iced Americano.
Dinner was 45g turkey, 40g roast beef, 55g cheese and celery, jicama and radishes. Again.
More rhubarb for dessert.
For my evening break I had 30g of roasted almonds and just a few sips from a Dr. Pepper.
Once home I needed a little something more and had some calories to spare so treated myself to a few strawberries (100g) with two tablespoons of heavy cream.
Total calories for today 1,396 and 42g of carbohydrates. Yay me!

Calories closer to normal

Started today with a bowl of 1/2 cup (125ml) yogourt and 110g of my rhubarb. And coffee.More coffee for my morning break.
Lunch was tuna salad, avocado (1/4 of an avocado, 45g) celery, radish and jicama.
By the time Doug got home at 6:30 I was really hungry so we had a huge Taco Salad. 60g mixed greens, 115g lean ground beef, 70g chopped tomatoes, 50g shredded cheese and 45g of sour cream. It was delish and I probably ate more than I really needed to just because I wolfed it down.
A few minutes ago I poured myself a diet ginger-ale and had three of the little piller's tid-bitz.
Calories for today 1,407 and 30g carbohydrates.

Not enough calories? I don't get it.

Got up early to go to physio/exercise. Had a mug of strong coffee and a bowl of yogourt and rhubarb much like last night's.After working out I came home pretty hungry so made a three egg omelet with mushrooms and asparagus and another cup of coffee.

Yet more coffee for my break.
Dinner was two kinds of cheese, about 60g total some sliced chicken breast and roast beef. Also the usual celery, jicama and radish.
By the time for my evening break I had already finished all my water so bought a tasty diet Dr. Pepper - starting to think I may have had too much caffeine today.
Came home and made lunch for tomorrow. Cut up a celery and had a few slices left that wouldn't fit in the bag so I ate them up. I might still have a little cheese and some fruit since....
Only 995 calories and 35g carbohydrates for today! I just don't get it.
