Lunch was Chick Fil A, again. My mom got lunch today and that's where she picked. I had a bun-less grilled chicken club, lettuce, chicken, cheese, pickles, and bacon. I mixed up a little mayo and mustard to do it in. For dinner I had Mexican food at Teotihuacan Mexican Cafe in Houston, Tx, I had the pollo Ranchero, it's a grilled chicken breast covered in ranchero sauce and has melted Monterey jack cheese, I substituted the rice for double beans, charo & refried, and it comes with guacamole & tortillas which of course I did not eat the tortillas. I did eat a little of both beans.
This upcoming week I need to focus and work on FIVE things.
#1- Drink more water!! I'm really bad about this, and water is a key factor while on a low carb diet
#2- Get myself in a routine that involves going to bed at a decent hour, not sleeping in until lunch time, I need to wake up and eating breakfast! I've only been eating lunch and dinner, and I know that is not good. And it's because I stay at home, so I don't get up for work or anything which equals me sleeping in, must work on!!
#3- Eat more times per day. Even though I feel like I am already eating alot, I need to add not only breakfast, but a mid morning snack and an afternoon snack. Something like sugar free jello, Atkins bars, Atkins shakes, or even almonds would work for snacks.
#4 Eat more veggies! I don't eat nearly enough veggies, besides my love for salads, I'm not getting any other kind of vegetables in there!
#5- Must try new things! This kind of goes hand in hand with eat more veggies... I've never tasted CAULIFLOWER! I need to make this happen soon because there are sooooo many low carb recipes that look so good that call for cauliflower! And I must learn to like broccoli more... that is all for now!

FYI - Beans have a lot of carbs in them. 1 cup of black beans has 41 grams of carbs.
