Hump Day


Just was not that hungry. Had a small snack and then after long workout had dinner.

Interesting article. http://www.ultrarunning.com/features/health-and-nutrition/the-emerging-science-on-fat-adaptation/

Monday, Monday


Good low on sugar. Need more green veggies. Dinner was rushed. I substituted the flax bread for veggies. Low for calories for the day but I feel good.

Running went well. Did a better job today of doing the stretching.

Sunday


The breakfast was the mashed cauliflower So I am estimating the contents in my portion. (I had made it for Laurie's party but then could not make the party.)

Lunch was the flax seed bread. I eliminated the stevia and that helps the chemical taste. I lowered the flax seed from 2 cups to 1.5 cups and added .5 cup of almond meal and a little coconut flour.

Dinner was downtown on a gras fed burger (no bun) with tomato and a little onion and lettuce with cole slaw on the side. The slaw was not sweet, unlike a lot of deli slaws. So I think it was lower in sugar than indicated.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

Ran almost to the Jefferson Memorial in the morning. Cold but good. We were treated to Morton's steak house. So the dinner was a bit heavy. They did have mashed cauliflower , parmesan cheese, and truffle oil.  It was very good.

Post Holiday Weekend

Started off Friday and Saturday well. (food wise) Friday was Ben's 21st and I went heavy on dessert. Saturday was good, but the Ugly Christmas Sweater Party I had a drink and some snacks.  Must avoid drinks, It hurts my metabolism (slows it down) and makes me feel tired for a couple of days.

Drank a lot of water and non-alcoholic drinks and tried to rehydrate.

Breakfast at the Hyatt was meeh. The veggie omelet was way to greasy and not enough veggies. Have to work on finding a better set of foods.

Day Two


While it says 66 grams for the day The onion and walnut and avocado are high in carbs. I think it is okay.

It is one thing

Okay it took me awhile to come down to 1 goal. I thought I could Do what Thornton Melon did in Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIroRqO_BpM) Have 1 goal with 27 parts. ( Very funny movie) But that really isn't focusing in on a goal. It is A goal not a list of goals.   (drum roll) Health starts in the kitchen. I have to master that. I could train by running a marathon a day and eat terribly and it would not do me much good. (not suggesting running a marathon a day is a good general strategy)  So the 1 goal is to eat as few carbs as possible this month. To aim for less than 5 grams a day. Eat only what is on the Green List.

Looking at the above I find it hard to believe I had 75 grams of carbs and 44 grams of sugars.  Does plain roasted Cauliflower have that much sugar?
