SchrodingersCat Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Dinner was Zoodles and sweet potato ribbons, with prawns and scallops in cherry tomato, basil, garlic, chili sauce, and capers . So yum!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 OH, NSV (I don't even know what I weighed when I started ), but today I tried a skirt that I 'grew out of' some while back and it does up. Didn't wear it because it has no stretch and it wasn't comfy, but it was done up. That's definitely something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchrodingersCat Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Wednesday. OK. SO. Today is supposed my last compliant day for this 'round' because my parents arrive tomorrow for our long weekend away at a cheese festival (planned since last September). By the time I get home, they will have cooked dinner, and it won't be compliant. Plus, I've just been drafted to a team on a trivia night tonight, fully catered. SO, I half expect that yesterday will end up being my last compliant day until Monday (when I will be back on track being compliant on any normal day, and only eating non-complaint things as events or circumstances arise - Food Freedom, if you will). I don't have any real desire to eat non-compliant tonight, but we shall see what's on offer. Meal 1 and 2 are as above. Meal 3 will be leftover beef, pepper and snow pea stir fry with cauli rice, unless I eat at the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 BLERGH!! A co-worker just offered my half a paleo bar - seemed innocuous, ingredients were coconut, dates, organic cocoa, coconut oil, orange oil. BLERGH, my mouth tastes like I just licked an oil burner. WAY too much orange oil, and just YUCK. Instant food regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBear Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Ah well meaning people and their so called food. I hope the cheese festival is Ah-mazing! Cheese is my love language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Following on the food regret, I had pizza at the trivia thing. Bloated like a balloon. It wasn't even good pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 OK, spirit of honesty: 2 small pieces thin crust pizza (average), 1 arancini ball (blergh), 2 pita rolls with beef and relish (ok), 3 pieces crumbed calamari (very average), 4 pieces thin pita with capsicum dip (best thing there), and a sausage roll (greasy and not good). Came home, small glass of red wine and some compliant beef and red pepper omelette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 TRASH FOOD AND WINE WAS A BAD, BAD CHOICE!! Ugh, total food and mild booze hangover today. NOT cool. I'm annoyed at myself because the food I ate was actually garbage - not just in it being junk but also it wasn't even nice. BLERGH! Mum and Dad get here this afternoon. We fly out at 7:30am tomorrow, so up at 5:30am. So although everyone else will be on the wine tonight, I certainly will not be! I forgot my damn lunch, too. No idea what I'm going to have. I mean, it doesn't have to be 100% compliant, because my day isn't going to be, but I don't want to go too off track, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchrodingersCat Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 Merciful mother of Ath, I just found out that the place we're going for the next 3 days doesn't have phone coverage or internet. This is not going to be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchrodingersCat Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 In the spirit of tracking (and I'm going to try to track the weekend, too, and post when I get Wifi): Breakfast: Ham and veg soup (non-compliant ham, corn, and chicken stock) Lunch: Salad of arugula and baby spinach, sweet potato, sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber and boiled eggs with a jalapeno lime dressing (no idea whats in it, def not compliant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyBear Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Well you’ll be doing an internet detox rather than a food detox stay calm and eat cheese! Seriously I would love a full report of all the wonderful and even some of the not so wonderful cheeses you taste. Sigh take me with you! I love cheese even funky stinky cheese.

SchrodingersCat Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 I'm baaaaaaaack. Lovely weekend, I'm sunburned to hell, I have heartburn, I've got the food hangover from hell. It was fun, but I'm really looking forward to getting back on track. Stepped on the scale this morning and holy hell, I hope that's water weight. Oof. Meal 1: Eggs n kraut Meal 2: Coriander Beef Curry with Cauli rice Meal 3: Steak, bakes sweet potato and broccolini. Just all very simple today.

SchrodingersCat Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Good intentions in the garbage. Multiple filo/cheese puffs, followed by Subway, including cookies and sweet tea. I do NOT cope with messed up routines, or being tired and sore. Now I'm tired, sore, bloated and miserable. Tomorrow is 100% back on track. Dinner is as planned, I need veggies!!

SchrodingersCat Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Thanks!! OK today I AM back. Last night I compounded the 'ok, back on track tomorrow' with ravioli and garlic bread. And chocolate. Ugh. However, this morning I have resisted a huge and amazing looking breakfast buffet from a seminar, and am back on track. And staying that way! Meal 1: Eggs n kraut Meal 2: Coriander Beef Curry with Cauli rice Meal 3: Fish from the market, grilled with sauteed broccolini, sweet potato wedges.

SchrodingersCat Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Hoooooo boy. Here's a wake up. Went and got my blood test results yesterday. Kidney function - great. Liver - perfect (significant because I'm on medication which is high risk for liver issues, and 2 years ago they were high) Blood count - perfect Cholesterol - "Bad" is amazingly good - 3.9! "Good", also amazingly good - 1.6! Given I'm obese, these results are EXCELLENT! BUUUUUUUT (almost as big as my butt) - Blood sugar (MMol/l)... 6.3 - anything over 5.7 is 'prediabetes'. Worse, I thought about it after and the blood was taken in my 3rd week of my last round, where I had had (of course) no sugar, no fruit, no white potatoes, sweet potatoes at 1 meal a day if that. So that's pretty bad. It's been high-ish in the past, too but never over the 6. So I need to stop thinking of this in 30 day sets and in terms of "off" and "on". I need to get this weight off, and I need to really commit to a permanently good diet. My husband is type 1, so I'm very well versed in diabetes diets, and the fact that he eats better than me (when I make his food!) is crazy - why would I look after him BETTER than I look after me? Anyway. I'm working from home today and have a minor medical thing this afternoon, so I'm about to throw lamb shanks in the slow cooker. Mashed cauli on the side. Meal 1 will be eggs n veg, lunch will be my curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about blood sugar- you probably know more, but I wonder if it fluctuates based on other things or if it is only based on types of food we eat. Hmm. I'm starting over when my next grocery delivery starts. I'm not planning on going anywhere anytime soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
