I just needed somewhere to say this so I hope everyone pardons my random babble.
Fit day tracking is starting today, sticking to the carb/veggie limits although the menu got shifted a lot yesterday - mostly for finding out that
a. either i can't cook 'em right or I dont care for cauliflour hashbrowns - at least as a swap for potatoes. Someone told me how to make them with daikon radish instead so I may look into carb counts etc on that and try it. I'm not real sure i want to even try making them again. that said I did taste test the cauliflour shreds after they were microwaved, I do think they'd make a good swap for rice in any dish with sauce. woohoo! maybe without depending on what it was.
Somewhere in there I think is a recipe modified off them that would *rock* for a mock tortilla though (a little salsa sour cream onion and garlic went pretty well on the second one). That may be an adventure for tonight.
If i pick up the right spices for mexican food.
b. I totally under estimated how much food I should be planning for. I don't think it's that I'm over eating, I was genuinely hungry at a few points. Which meant that the deer (and the menu reviewers were right, i needed to add some more fat into that menu and i did. made up some tasty sauce for the deer.) vanished later on in the day.
c. I was counting the carbs in the artificial sweetener (okay it wasn't splenda) - for crystal light (although I had some other brand), but.....apparently that one is a trigger for me for wanting sweets? Didn't help I was hungry at the time but I don't follow that logic. Logic or not though it's out. I'm kinda sad about it. I kind of hate the taste of plain water (how do you dislike something you absolutely shouldn't and have to have? I dont know...) - so I'm sitting here trying to figure out what to do about this one. mostly because i've cut down the diet soda and I need to replace the liquid with something - water would be best. Hrr. Yeah I know, silly quandry.
I'm glad i got rid of almost all the carbs I can't have on induction in the house (frozen berries stayed for later phases) - but all of the ones I could quick grab and would want. That would have been the end of it right there otherwise.
Today's plan is both fit day tracking and some cooking for the rest of the week so that when I go back to the office (I took yesterday and today to work remotely) - things aren't a problem. I need to make sure I have prepped lunches and snacks and preferably half or fully prepped dinners for when I step in the door and just do not want any part of dealing with it.
Also- learn how to fry something properly. I never did this before being a low fat person and scared of frying a damn thing. That and I've been known to set a pan afire trying to learn. Oops.
At least I'm not freaking out anymore? And trying to pretend that scale in my bathroom does not exist....at least for a few days.
