    low carb peanut butter cookies? I'd kiss you if I could.

    And I'm a pretty good cook, I can figure out alternatives if there is something in there I don't want in my body.

    Can't sew at all....but at least I learned the cooking part.

    I did a little better today but I am really tired tonight. I'm not sure if it is because I didn't eat enough or because I need more sleep. I tried something new for breakfast. It turned out okay.

    L: 4.5 oz pork roast with 1.5 tbsp bbq sauce, 1/2 cup green beans, 1/2 cup pinto beans
    S: 1 slice watermelon
    D: tuna sandwich made with a whole can of water packed tuna, 2 tbsp light mayo, 1 slice onion, and 2 slices double fiber wheat bread.

    Breakfast: 12 grams
    12 oz. water
    2 cups coffee w/splenda & heavy cream
    1 hard boiled egg
    1 japanese mr. donut almond donut (yes, I was bad…but better this than a binge…one donut….11 grams carbs (they are japanese which means low in sugar and small in size)

    Exercise:
    32 oz. water
    10 minutes elliptical lowest setting 5.0 average speed
    30 minutes treadmill no hill 4.0 speed
    20 minutes treadmill random hill (1.5 - 7.8 elevation) 3.5 speed
    10 minutes stair-stepper lowest setting

    Lunch: 9 grams carbs
    12 oz. water
    South Beach frozen entra: savory pork with pecans & green beans

    Snack: 4 grams
    12 oz. water
    1 serving mixed nuts

    Dinner: 4 grams
    salad w/bacon & thousand island dressing
    boiled shrimp w/homemade cocktail sauce
    2 glasses red wine

    How I feel:
    A mix of emotions really…
    Really mad at myself for justifying the donut to myself as a rare treat because I don’t go to the mall often and because it was japanese. It didn’t even taste that good. Yeah I only went 1 over my allotted 30 carbs but still…I wouldn’t have known that if I hadn’t had the nutritional info translated for me - afterwards.
    Excited because I found a home food analyzer:
    http://www.scale-it.com/17-990.htm
    Now I just need to get reviews on it.
    Frustrated with the people on 3FC who keep attacking low carb without even reading about what it really is, based on media reports (and we all know how full of %$#* the media is about stuff) or their own misinformed ideas.
    Happy I got in a good exercise.
    Tomorrow will be a better day.

    24 oz. water
    3 cups coffee w/splenda & heavy cream
    2 scrambled eggs
    2 sausage patties
    3 large strawberries

    Exercise:
    32 oz. water
    30 minutes treadmill random hill (1.5-7.8 elev.) 3.5 speed
    10 minutes stair-stepper lowest setting

    Snack: None today

    Dinner: 7 grams carbs

    How I feel: Awesome. Had an incredible workout today and even got the bike in without my feet falling asleep! Going to add more to the bike Monday. Still can't stand the elliptical...still puts my feet to sleep and it's even causing blisters on the balls of my feet. Also uploaded my before and current pics and wow...the difference 25 lbs makes! I still look fat but not AS fat. And those pictures, aside from being cropped, are untouched and unedited.

    Think I'm going to quit keeping track of my water because it's pretty obvious I'm drinking more than enough and have been. Just have to continue to stay away from sodas which I will do. NO MORE DEMONSPAWNED MOUNTAIN DEWS EVER!!!!
