Went to the gym again since we didn't get our full workout yesterday. Then we went to a couple stores for a few things. I didn't get enough for my morning snack but when I got home my BS was NICE...only 91...that is very low for me. I'm surprised I wasn't feeling it as I sometimes feel low when I'm actually normal.
Only snack I had was 3 tiny cubes of some Luna bars..samples at New Seasons. For lunch I had my leftovers from the restaurant last night. It was really good...1/2 cup rice, and 4 small strips of fried chicken breast ..forgot to weigh but estimated 4 oz.
FL was not happy with me...because I didn't have enough am snack, and with lunch I also had about 1 T of the sweet chili dipping sauce and that made me go over on carbs. If I hadn't already eaten all the rice I would have been fine, but both was too much carb. Plus my meals were too far apart. So per FL, I didn't do so well for fat burning, but I think I'm ok on calories. I like the FL for making sure my nutrition is in line, but I like MFP for tracking the calories.
Once I feel I've gotten a good handle on my nutrition, I'll probably drop FL . I stopped too soon last time. I know quite a lot about nutrition, but I can still not eat right and FL makes me look more carefully at what I'm eating in general. So seeing what I did wrong even after the fact, helps me to think about what I'm eating more. It's still not easy though when I really want something.
Carol - I'm praying I'll get like you and not care about sweet snacks/desserts!
I am doing much better. Ever since Christmas there has been an opened box of Oreo Thins cookies...I bought them for the gk..but I liked them too and would often eat more than the kids! I've been back on FL a week now and have not been tempted by them, I ate some before I started it and they tasted way too sweet for me. The thought of the brownie mix still tempts me in the evenings, but I haven't made them. Maybe they wouldn't taste good to me now too, but I'm going to chance it. Not saying I never will but not yet. The whole idea of FL is that no food is off limits within proper portion and balanced nutrition is met. That basically ends up meaning you can have only a tiny tiny piece which would only frustrate me, I'd usually rather do without. Dh bought a small apple pie and that may tempt me later but so far it hasn't.
You have snow..so far no more here...we still have a few remnants of it here and there and it's cold so you never know. Glad Rusty doesn't mind it. Halo will go out but she comes in much quicker. She's a princess, doesn't like to be uncomfortable or have changes in her routine.
Sandy - Oh another fellow Downton Abbey fan!!
I wish it weren't the last season, I will miss it. I can't remember...who is the guy who pleased Mary rather than his wife? Yes, I'm so happy for the Bates..they are so sweet. I also love that Carson and Mrs Hewes are happy and can't wait to see them marry. Poor Carson, he will have to adjust to a woman in his life, won't he? And wasn't the scenes of the cook trying to fulfill her commission from Mrs Hewes funny...the "embarrassing topic" with Mr Carson?
I had a good laugh! They are all such good actors and that's what makes it so good. Plus I love the clothes!
Karrine - Do be careful when shoveling that snow. I wish you had someone to do it for you esp with your ankle still bothering you.
Baily - Welcome to our little group!
Glynne - 50 sounds nice! Glad you were able to get a walk in. We have been mostly in the 30s for quite a while now..now and then it gets up into the low 40s. Even in the 30s, it feels colder than that esp with the rain.
I need to get busy...want to clean the family room today..not easy as during the colder months, dh spends a lot of time there.
