Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

My hat is off to you, Don! Your eating looks complicated next to mine.

You are doing a fantastic job of adding in carbs, while keeping percentages in check. Your hard work is paying off, too!

Well done.

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Julie, I am doing the same thing tonight, so I guess they can hate both of us! LOL It is a going away party for a friend at work. Worse yet, it is at a Mexican Restaurant, but I am going to steer clear of the margaritas! That would do me in for sure!

I am really having problems keeping my calories low now that I am up to 85 net carbs. Even on the days that I don't have a glass of wine, I'm still fighting staying below what I think I need to be at. I really need to lose those 2 lbs this week for the Halloween Challenge, but I think it is going to be tough.

Anyway, here is what I had yesterday.

Breakfast
1 cup of Fiber One cereal
1/2 cup soy milk
3 slices of Hormel bacon
3 eggs

Lunch
1/4 chicken (dark meat skin on)
2 cups of romaine
1 roma tomato
2 tbsp jalapeno ranch dressing
1 cup of blackberries
2 cups cauliflower

Dinner
Chicken caesar salad (estimated 3 cups of romaine, 2 tbsp caesar dressing, 3.5 oz chicken breast, and 1/2 oz of fresh parmesan)
7 oz white wine

Snacks
2 servings of artichoke dip
1 cup of blackberries
3/4 cups of multi grain squares
1/4 cup of soy milk

2258 calories, 127 grams of fat (too high), 86 net carbs (had a whopping 64 grams of fiber), only 137 grams of protein (a little on the low side). Ratios were 50% fat, only 24% protein, and 26% carbs, though a bunch of that was from the wine.

Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread

Julie and Don - Why in the world would we hate you for having a little fun? H*ll, if my body would tolerate alcohol, I'd be doing the same thing every now and then.

Today was an exhausting day for me, and I didn't bother entering everything into Fitday. Today was the last day of the Veggie Challenge, and I am just glad that I ate what I needed to, for that today.
