w00t! Three days in a row posting!
So, Tuesday of this week, I was a bit high on things, but I was still within my ±5% margin on things that shouldn’t be >100%. I was at 102% calories (1770), 84% fat (49 gms), 104% carbs (158 gms), and 109% protein (171 gms). Despite fat being low, it was the few extra carbs that put me over. It was that one extra dumpling. Or the extra rice with my orange chicken. Or … yeah, one can blame the extra few-percent on anything, of course.
I again didn’t exercise, but as I noted yesterday, the real goal this week is to stick within my food limits, and that INCLUDES all the bites, licks, slurps, nibbles, tiny bits, crumbs, crumbles, etc.
Weight was also stable relative to yesterday at 218.8 lbs.
Writing this on Wednesday, so I’m not struggling to write up a post before bed and not go to bed on time, I can also say that I’ve had to do some rearrangements on the food plan: I have no bell peppers. So, I had to move the Thai basil beef to next week, moving up the chicken biryani from Friday to today. I’m struggling a bit after my trip with motivation to do work, fortunately I don’t have any immediate deadlines, so I can afford tonight the two hours that biryani takes to make. Due to the carbs from the rice, I had to further tweak a few things to stay within my goals.
Not “limits,” but goals. Because “limits” implies that I am avoiding things I don’t like and am highly restrictive. Which is not the point. The point is to do things in moderation so I can enjoy what I like, just perhaps not in the same quantity I would otherwise consume, and maybe not have it every day.
