Saturday I had a bun-less double Texas whopper from Burger King. It was delicious as always, crisp bacon, two patties, cheese, lettuce, pickle, tomato and mayo. For dinner we went to Texas Roadhouse, I had a mushroom chicken but I asked for the mushroom sauce in the side, I'm glad I did because I ended up not liking it. So without the sauce it was still covered in Monterey jack and parmesan cheeses. Very good, I had with this a side salad. I also ordered a cup of chili as my other side but ended up not eating it because it was too spicy.
Why I'm Breaking Up With Carbs...
My low carb journey to weight loss!I'm addicted to fried foods, and things smothered in chili and cheese! It doesn't help that I'm from TEXAS, home of the Fried everything! I'm 5'5 and my goal is to lose about 75lbs. AND I'm getting married next October and I want to look fabulous in a wedding dress!!I'm blogging the entire experience here. Now for most, this would be easy, buy some veggies, grill your chicken and beef for the week for lunch, dinner, etc. But here is the thing, I do NOT cook, ever! Which is probably the main reason why I'm where I'm at, I lived off of fast food, and I still do. I eat out every single day of the week, so it's a bit more challenging for me to be on this new low carb diet. Oh yeah, it's not a diet, it's a "lifestyle change". I have the help of my wonderful boyfriend who decided he'd join me on this journey. Hope you enjoy reading my blog! xoxo GinaFollow me on INSTAGRAM @breakingupwithcarbs, simple & easy choices whether you are at home, at a restaurant or in the drive thru!

Today I was up at 6am full of energy, thanks to the sleep aide I took last night, which was good because I had a lot of running around to do today. I had lunch at chick fil a, I usually order a bun-less grilled chicken club, it comes wrapped in lettuce, cheese, tomato, pickle and bacon. But today I just went with a bun-less grilled chicken burger with extra pickles, no tomato, wrapped in lettuce (which Chick Fil A doesn't ever mind doing) and then I mix a packet of mayo and a packet of mustard and use it as a dipping sauce for my chicken. If I have the luxury of sitting down inside to eat or even eating as a passenger in the car, then I'll usually order a side salad. Today I just stuck with burger and tea, sweetened with one packet of sweet n low. We got a late start to dinner tonight, setting up my new scanner and my super slow laptop= us leaving for dinner@ 8:30, so we decided to go to Applebee's, they are open late and I've been meaning to scope out their new healthy menu items. I didn't really see anything that caught my eye, must of the meals were spicy and had shrimp. (I do not eat seafood except for tuna fish.) So I decided on my favorite meal pretty much anywhere which is a grilled chicken salad. I have yet to taste a bad chicken Caesar salad and Applebee's did not disappoint! It was so delicious, I practically licked the plate clean! The picture below does not do the salad justice!!

Low carb eating at Logans Roadhouse
Tonight I had dinner at Logans Roadhouse. On Mondays & Tuesday's they have 2 meals for $14.99, so we usually try to go there in those days. I ordered the Logans grilled chicken, it comes with a peppercorn dressing on top and its served on a bed of rice, but I order it with no rice, if you forget you can just really pick the chicken breast off of the rice. The meal comes with two sides, I'm not big on all veggies, but they do offer a vegetable skewer and seasoned veggies, and a house or Caesar salad. I ended up ordering two Caesar salads, one before my meal and one during my meal to eat with my chicken. I also had an unsweetened tea with a packet of sweet n low.
I've been on this crazy sleep schedule where I can't sleep at all at night and don't end up falling asleep until about 6-9am, and then don't wake up till 2-4 pm, and so I've slept through breakfast and dinner and I don't want to eat while I'm awake at night because I'm usually just laying in bed trying to fall asleep. So I haven't eaten lunch in the past two days. Tonight I took a sleep aide so hopefully it will work and tomorrow I can wake up at a decent time and get some stuff done!!
