Day 3, Part 2

Today was a lazy day. I didn't have very much energy. Which is a good sign, because that means my body is having to find its energy in my stored fat.

My meals for today:

1 Women's One-A-Day Multivitamin
1 500mg Sunkist Vitamin C tablet


11:00am
3/4 cup egg beaters - 0g
2 strips turkey bacon - 1g
2 pinches dried chives - 0g
3 sprinklings pepper - 0g
Dash of salt - ?0

*note* I took Dave's advice on the amount of eggs and was surprised how much more egg I got. For the record I would like to reiterate how much I love turkey bacon. Also, for anyone who is nit-picky about some of my terminology (I would be!), a pinch is simply that: how much your thumb, for, and middle finger can grab, a sprinkling of pepper is actually just how many times I grind the pepper grinder, and a dash is me just trying to use my best judgment. Now, when I say a "scoop" of Chia Pro, it's actually a pinch. But a "scoop" of Protein Powder is actually a scoop...it comes with the powder. Confused? Yes? AWESOME!


2:00pm
1 scoop strawberry protein powder - 3g
1 scoop Chia Pro - 4g

*note* OH MY GOD! DID you SEE that?! Up there? Something's amiss. I've been reporting that the Chia Pro is 0g. Well, Dave double checked, and it turns out it's actually 8G per 2 tablespoons!! Oops! But, I'm not putting two tablespoons in, just a scoop/pinch, so I figured that half would be fair. The good news? We're almost out of Chia Pro, so I'll use it until it's gone, and when it's gone...it's gone.


5:00pm
Beef aujouce - 3g
2 pinches of cheese - 1g
1 cup baby spinich - 1g
1/2 tbsp maple balsamic dressing - 2g
1 diet soda - 0g

*note* OKay, so I don't have any actual stats for the beef. Dave made a roast last night in the crock pot and added some french onion soup mix to it. A little meatball math later, and we figured 3 grams of carbs per serving. How much is a serving? Not much. No more than say, two cups of meat.


8:00pm
1 chocolate Atkins Advantage shake - 4g

*note* This shake is WAY smaller and has more carbs than my usual shake...and it tastes fucking awesome!


I forgot to put my pedometer on this morning and didn't remember until about 12:30pm. I got 7324 steps today even though I didn't walk to the store. Instead, mny friend drove me. And herself. See, she's pregnant and she shouldn't be lifting the heavy bags, so that where I came in. I advised her to buy Pirate cookies. She said she wanted a peanut butter cookie, and I recommended them. Truth be told, I think I just wanted to eat them vicariously through her (was that redundant?).
So I think I told you that I wanted to clean the floors today. I figured that would replace my walking. That mophead that I bought yesterday? Doesn't fit. So I got on my hands and knees and cleaned the kitchen floor with a brush. No one could acuse me of not exercising. And I should add that I was wearing the pedometer while I was scrubbing the floor, so I suppose I should admit that as it's kind of cheating.
Dave and I went grocery shopping this evening. It's amazing how...NOT full the cart was. All we bought was steak, chicken breasts, ham, baby bels, more egg beaters, pickeled eggs (Dave's), some meat thingies in a box, a scale, and two jugs of water. Crazy, huh?


Until tomorrow, beware the golden egg that the goose laid...it's probably just gold foil covering the milk chocolate underneath,
