Day 3 & 4

Sorry for the lapse! I'm not sure which is harder, limiting food intake or carving out time at the end of a busy day to blog about it.

Wed

Calories = 1098

Carbs = 43

Fat = 66

Protien = 49

This day was kinda hard because I ran out of time to make my lunch so I grabbed a go-to item for me, which is split pea soup from Trader Joes. I usually think I'm doing myself a favor when I eat that for lunch, but now that I"m looking at the macro nutrients I need, I see that this item messes everything up a bit. Low in calories, low in protien and fat. For dinner I ate out and had thai food so I estimated the numbers for that. I looked up something similar online and recorded those numbers. In case you're wondering, I had green curry which is full of coconut milk (good fat) meat (protien) and veggies (carb). They brought me white rice and DESPITE my love affair with white rice, I didn't eat any! Except yesterday I caved and ate a spoonful before dumping it in the trash (the horror!!!)

Wednesday I did the shoulders, back, and abs routine with P90x in the morning. Burned about 380 calories. Thinking about how I need to buy a pull-up bar, the bands I use in place of the pull up bar give me discomfort in my upper arms. Not sure what that's about.

THURSDAY

Calories 1436

Carbs 65

Fat 101

Protien 75

This day I actually had a hard time filling out all the calories with what I've got in my pantry. Something I love about this high fat diet is that I get to rock the Blue Diamond Almonds on a regular basis! At work I can buy those little packets in the downstairs shop and yesterday I got the Wasabi flavored ones and MAN do I love them. I have been eating macadamia nuts, which are apparently the superior nut with regards to nutrients. They have the lowest Omega 6 content. They're great - but expensive as they grow in Australia and have to be shipped over.

I also caved and ate a few Smarties that someone left in the kitchen at work. NO BIG DEAL. I felt guilty for having them though because this week I've had little to no sugar, which is HUGE for me! But come on...I ate like 3 tiny smarties. Shoot me.

Thursday is typically my day I skip with regards to working out. It's a nice mid-week break. Had my guitar class, felt great at the end of the day.
