There’s always the do-over.
Boy, I've really been getting on my own nerves lately. I am supposed to be gradually easing back into carb-eating by adding WHOLE foods. What have I been doing instead? Taking up my carb count with junk and with non-junk that I'm not supposed to be eating right now. It's rather difficult to see whether I'm OK at 35 grams or at 40 grams (the next step up the carb ladder) when I'm eating enough carbs to almost take me out of ketosis.
If you're wondering whether I'm annoyed at myself, you would be correct.
And it's not the all-too-common excuse of, "You must need those foods or else you wouldn't eat them." Nobody needs a candy bar or a bowl of ice cream. Nobody needs French fries. Y'know, that kind of thing. In my case it's been too many low-carb tortillas (I have devised an excellent method of eating cheese sandwiches when feeling snacky), brown rice, and the occasional taste of something I'm not supposed to have. And too much coffee. If I'm going to do the coffee perhaps I should grab some Da Vinci sugar-free syrups, as they have no carb count while granular Splenda is one gram per teaspoon. And that's without counting the heavy cream. Le sigh.
And yes, I'm still having issues with vegetables. That's got to change.
I think I need to start over with Induction. I don't think I will need it longer than a week (if I start it tomorrow I'll be on it a little over a week, actually). But just to get the junk out of my system, make myself eat the veggies and so forth.
The weight loss is going fine and better than fine. That's not the issue. The issue is I need to be better at this healthy eating thing than I am presently.
I think something else I need to do is make menus for myself. If I know what I'm supposed to eat in a given day then it won't be so easy to go over my carb count and I won't have to worry about being under it either.
Wish me luck.
