Late brunch

Had a bag of frozen Brussels sprouts that you steam up in the microwave. They're already seasoned and everything. Had a packet of shrimp flavored Ramen noodles as well. Way more carbs than I should be eating, but only about 750 calories. Some protein and greens for supper is the plan.

New year, new blogging

Long time, no see. Doing a bit of intermittent fasting today. Didn't eat for about 24 hours, then had a big meal about 4 pm today. It consisted of a can of mustard greens (with apple cider vinegar, of course), a 7 ounce jar of olives, a 5 ounce can of yellowtail tuna in olive oil, and chia/hemp seed gruel. Total calories today: 1040. Protein was about 42 grams, net carbs were about 6. In the future, I'd like to shoot for around 1200-1500 calories per day, but I ate like a pig yesterday. Had some cravings for junk today, but managed not to give in. Here's hoping I can do the same tomorrow.

Birthday supper

Had a mid size (five ounce) roast beef sandwich from Arby's, garnished with a couple packets each of mayonnaise and Horsey sauce. A 3.5 ounce bag of pork rinds and 40 ounces of water. Call it 1300 calories and 40 carb grams. Definitely hit my daily protein goal. Probably going to have some kind of greens with vinegar in a couple hours to keep from feeling hungry in the middle of the night.

Lunch

Five ounces of canned chicken, a three ounce pouch of salmon (gotta love the Dollar Tree) , and a four ounce can of mushrooms. A little bit less than 400 calories, six carb grams, and 41 grams of protein.

39th birthday

Had a 400 or so calorie breakfast. Two 1.5 ounce Old Wisconsin beef sticks, 2 20 ounce cups of coffee with half and half. Currently sipping on an iced Powerade Zero with a couple packets of True Lemon. Call it 5 or 6 carb grams and 15 grams of protein. Probably going to get a BLT salad from Subway at the end of the shift because it's our birthday, precious.

Weighed in at 287.1 after a decent sized poop this morning. I'd really like to be somewhere south of 270 by the end of April.

Blood sugar test.

206 after being on metformin for a couple days and not having eaten for about 12 hours. Fuck. Should not have eaten that sausage biscuit.

Did well today

Ate pepperoni, canned mushrooms, sauerkraut, salmon, almonds, and coffee with half and half.Went five hours without having to pee, which was awesome. Stayed under 1500 calories and 20 carb grams.

One day of keto down, now for another.
