Monday - January 14th
The thing about this app is the accountability. On the one hand I’m somewhat of a walking calorie source by now thanks to years and years of trying to do this ‘be healthier and try to lose some weight along with it if possible’ experience. On the other, adding it all up in my head and remembering it throughout the day … not possible.
For example: breakfast. Oatmeal and yogurt. Sounds healthy, right? But even though I mentally added up the known calories for ½ cup oats, 8oz yogurt, handful of raisins, etc., I anticipated around 600 calories. And I was right except I added chia and flax seeds and coconut oil. That shot my oatmeal up to over 900 calories.
I was wondering - do others count those as part of their daily calorie total?
Night eating - still a problem even with the Glucerna. I feel it’s the frustration and pacing from insomnia. I didn’t get to sleep until nearly 6am; second night in a row.
Cardiologist today. Doc feels that with the high cholesterol, high heart calcium score, high blood sugar, overweight, etc., it’s something to be checked. I tend to follow the ‘let sleeping dogs lie’ and ‘never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you’ philosophy. But here I go. Maybe they just need to see if I have one.
I'm listing my weight daily just to for recording sake but I'm not stepping on a scale at home. I'll update it whenever I go to a doctor. I'm more about checking blood sugar daily and hoping to see that continue to drop. That keeps me more aware of what I'm eating more than the scale.
Nonetheless, pork skins. Still baffle the heck out of me to see low carber's munch on them. It just baffles me how fried skin can be 'okay'.
