1/28/18 – 5:30am – Yesterday’s Net Carbs were 26.40 and Exercise (for studying, cleaning & cooking) was 1,654. I ended up on my feet for over 3 hours, most of which time was making batches of “NO-GRAIN “Whole Grain” SEED CRACKERS – 3 batches of them. I was trying to perfect the recipe and it didn’t go so well. In the first batch, I forgot to add the spices. I also cooked them in a pan that made them too thick. The 2nd batch had the spices, but I split the batch in half and cooked half in the SAME pan, so it would be thinner; but I cooked them the same amount of time, so then they ended up TOO crisp, and broke all to pieces when I tried to cut them. (Actually, I was SUPPOSED to cut them before I turned them over in the pan and forgot to. On the 2nd half of the 2nd batch (which I refer to as the 3rd batch above), they turned out much better. All in all, I ended up with 18, yes 18 crackers (out of which should have been 72) that were perfectly portioned, seasoned, and the right texture. (Note to self – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!)
Now for the “True Confessions” portion of my post. Every day of the 90-Day LCHF Challenge I HAVE stayed under the 30grams of Net Carbs goal. BUT, the past two days, I found myself eating just because I COULD. I wasn’t really hungry (sometimes, I was even FULL), but I had more carbs available, so I ate them. That’s NOT the way I want to do things. It’s still indulging the “spoiled brat” inside of me who keeps begging for food. Today, I will do much better. I will eat when I am hungry, or when it’s time for a meal, but I will NOT just cram down food because I have carbs still available.
Yesterday, I thawed some thinly-sliced chicken breasts, so they are available for me to “bread” with Whey Protein Powder and/or Pork Rinds and fry up for lunch. I also made a green salad yesterday, and this morning I made another 3-egg Omelet; but, with just the cheese this time (no ham), so I could eat this one with a sausage patty, and have the other tomorrow with lots of bacon, and maybe a sliced tomato. Ok, time to get cracking around here. Everyone have a blessed day, and “Just do the next right thing.”
