A very sweet friend and someone that sets the tone in low carbing noted this morning that she thinks I eat very little........ I looked over the last few days and yes, I have not been eating enough. Often over weekends it goes crazy between events and trying to feed my family breakfast, lunch and supper. I neglect myself......
The hard thing about Low Carb living is if you eat too much protein you will pick up weight. Too much carbs and you will pick up. Eating too little and you will stall. It stays a fine art between proteins and carbs. Then to add to the confusion we all handle protein and carbs different. Each person need to find a place that suits their body.
Yet again I want to encourage us all to be accountable and open and honest about your struggles and victories low carbing. Just this afternoon I was quickly shopping for a few food articles in a store for the week. I was coming home from church and was starving as I had breakfast at about ten this morning and the cake etc. at church I just had to give a skip. In the store they had dark chocolate covered peanuts. Everything in me wanted to buy a few and just EAT IT ALL UP! No one will know? It is just a bit? Just 8 carbs for 25g?????? I WAS TEMPTED FAR ABOVE MY STRENGTH..... it was 3 in the afternoon JUST EAT IT YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was so happy my mind kicked in. I had to put the bag down and tell myself NO! Otherwise I had to come and tell :D It would have put me back probably a few days loosing on the scale..... As hard as it was I just knew being accountable was a big help in this situation to say no.
Find someone you can share with. Join my facebook page and come tell, I promise I will not shuff you off I know how it feels to struggle getting it together. People were patient with me and supported me when I knew nothing about Low Carb eating.
BREAKFAST was spicy sausage cubed, grated cheese, bit of cream with egg quiche. Had tomato and cucumber on the side. Was such a good filling breakfast. Coffee and cream.
LUNCH - SUPPER: I got home at four and a good portion of stir fried cabbage with garlic, black pepper and olive oil. Had pieces of roasted chicken on top.
Made myself an espresso coffee with cream for dessert. I will probably not eat anything more this evening just a nice hot cup of cinnamon apple tea.
SOME GREAT IDEAS FOR THIS WEEK:
-I have not been drinking enough water. Want to make sure I drink more.
-I would want to make sure I eat enough but not more than my 20g of carbs a day and a good portion of protein at every meal.
-I want to try out some new recipes to get me going being excited Low Carbing.
-Not going to make the coconut oil chocolates soon again. I think the artificial sugar has stalled me....... STAYING AWAY! There is a few still left in the freezer will leave them for next weekend if I have reached my goal of falling under 70kg!
