Returned from NYC..with no gain, no loss. Still maintaining the 139.4 from before leaving and haven't seen further loss. But then again, I was out of my element and despite making the best choices and counting carbs, I'm sure it's not as effective as when you're at home. Perhaps not drinking enough water, perhaps hidden carbs in foods I didn't anticipcate, perhaps those pesky nuts that I ate almost everyday stalled me...and also, perhaps because besides a one-hour long hike, I didn't get any exercise from Fri to Tues.
Foods:
Fri: late night mixed nuts bag (3 servings), morning dunkin donut egg and cheese sandwich with little ketchup, skipped the english muffin, atkins shake, coffee with cream, lunch subway salad with 2 slices cheese and ranch dressing, dinner salad with 1 boiled egg and cheese and lemon juice cocktail (no alcohol, but accidently put some sugar in it), some peanuts
Sat: :
Breakfast of two egg omelette, goat cheese, veggies. Some nuts.
Dinner: Thai curry with fried tofu, coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce etc.; more nuts!!
Sunday:
breakfast: 2 egg omelette with veggies and cheese
coffee with heavy whipping cream
dinner: crustless quiche with spinach, eggs, cheese, and cream; side of spinach/onions/tomato vegetable dish
late night snack: lots more peanuts!
Monday:
breakfast: 1 egg omelette with cheese; 1 slice leftover quiche
coffee with cream
dinner: salad with mozzarella cheese
late night snack: mixed nut bag
Tuesday:
Salad with cheese and ranch dressing; coffee with cream
1 bag peanuts
dinner: salad with ranch; mock duck with veggies (seitan); sesame oil, veg oyster sauce, soy sauce; chilli garlic sauce and some veggies.
Need to get back to the working out mode today. Gave myself an off yesterday to recover from the travel-fatigue, but no excuses today. Also, NO NUTS today!! Lots of water too..
I'm only 7 pds away from a HEALTHY BMI!!!!!
Finished a week (8 days) on Atkins induction so far!! Mostly successful except for the nutty-indulgence!!! I should quote Amryk's reminder to myself "I'm NUTTY enough--don't need no more nuts!!;)"
