My reports start with Tuesday this week
Thursday Report Didn't spend time pre-planning my meals and then I didn't log faithfully enough when I had computer access today. I didn't eat any foods taboo to my diet plan and my portion control was good, but I ate too many of the foods that add to sat fat totals: e.g. low carb ice cream, preservative free salami, sugar free chocolate, reduced fat cheese, cream based Alfredo sauce...

1. Try to average 1650/day for the week. way off. too high. still high, but better than the other days.
2. Get back to logging everything every day, even the bad stuff. yes. yes. yes. 3. Take my meds 2x/day. yes. only 1x. yes. 4. When I start to grab junk food, make a better choice. yes.* yes. no. I was going to be under my calories last night, even with a small piece of pie after dinner figured into my log. But then the rest of the pie was calling me, taunting me with its sugary goodness. I couldn't resist. I had another small piece before bed. The rest got eaten by the family, so I can't give into temptation anymore. The cupboards are about empty. Hoping I can keep myself out of trouble today. Hope everyone has a great day! |
Thurs.
After doing some reading, and looking through my logs, I think cholesterol rise may be partially related to a big increase in eating cheese, and other dairy foods. Heading off to soak some beans ... - Donna |
Reading list
Since this is a motivation thread, I'll post a link to the next item on my reading list. I could use some motivation to read this, and it may be of interest to others:
The Protein Debate What, however, is the role of dietary protein in health and disease in humans? Is the source, type and quantity intimately and directly tied to optimal physical development and continued wellbeing? Is it causative or preventative of disease? How do we know, and how can we know? You will soon see the question is anything but simple! In the pages that [are linked above], two scientists at the top of their respective fields--Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University, author of The China Study and Dr. Loren Cordain Professor, Department of Health & Exercise Science, Colorado State University, author of The Paleo Diet—make their competing cases for the role of dietary protein in health and disease. |
Goals
1. Keep carbs/protein in check Mon 145/53, Tues-Thurs not good 2. Log (have fallen off this ) Mon-Thurs yes 3. Drink water Mon and Wed--not enoughTues and Thurs-yes 4.

I drink approximately half a glass in the middle of the night and another half when I first wake up. Jenn |
