Day nine

Today was one of those days where nothing went right, one of those days I would have easily slipped back to my old habits, but I know that is not an option for me. Instead, I tricked myself to think I was indulging in an old favorite, nacho's from taco cabana.
Lunch: build your own bowl- salad blend-0 carbs, ground beef-3 carbs, shredded cheese-0 carbs, queso- 6oz-10 carbs, total 13 carbs, a bit much but compared to my regular beef nachos at 92 carbs, I don't feel too bad.
Dinner: didn't feel like going to eat so I worked with what I found in my mothers kitchen, ground beef that I made into a beef patty-0 carbs, sprinkled some Colby jack cheese on top-1carb, and half a can of French cut green beans-2 carbs
Daily total-16 carbs
I finally started implementing my 30 minutes of exercise today, walked the track for 30 minutes. Feel great!

Day eight

On day 4 I learned rum + diet coke is zero carbs. But last night I read that I should try to avoid alcohol even at zero carbs because my body will focus on burning the alcohol before anything else until it gets out of my system. BOO!
Lunch: grilled chicken Caesar salad with NO croutons from wings n more
Dinner: 2 mc'doubles minus the bun and a side salad, I ordered ranch for the dressing but once I looked at the nutritional facts, it had a total of 9g, WOW... I used 1/4 of the pack but then ended up throwing it all away because I just couldn't get past the 9g of carbs, plus I'm not a big fan of Ken's steakhouse dressing.

When I took the croutons off of my salad, they made up an entire slice of bread!

Day seven

Brunch: 4 scrambled eggs with cheese & 4 crispy bacon strips at Denny's
Dinner: Blue Water Seafood-large dinner salad with ranch and Monterrey chicken which is grilled chicken topped with Monterrey jack cheese and pico de galo (Note-my boyfriend thinks it's funny to put prop's in my photos, hence the miller lite (not mine but at 3.2 carbs, not bad, and the crawfish hanging out in the back, I don't like crawfish, but again at 0 carbs, not bad!)

Day six

It's Saturday and I have to WORK! :( No lunch break for me today so I have to bring my food to work with me.
