Recap of the weekend:
Did you know Pot Roast is a low carb meal? Leave out the potatoes and carrots and it is. I put a pot roast in the crock post with a can of cream of mushroom soup, a packet of onion soup mix and a bit of water. And I added some green beans. The only carbs are in the soup, the mix, and the green beans, but most of the soup stays in the post. Excellent meal.
Sunday I did weigh myself and from Wednesday to Sunday I lost 5.4lbs. That's not totally accurate because Wednesday I weighed myself mid-morning after coffee, but it's definitely a trend down. I'm now at 288.6lbs.
Sunday evening we went out to buy a dress for homecoming and my daughter wanted Olive Garden. I figured what the heck, not going to worry about one meal. It tasted great, but I couldn't each much - the bread and pasta just felt heavy and I was just blah afterwards. Honestly it didn't sit well either.
Monday(Day 7):
Breakfast.
4 links of sausage on 2 slices of Chompies
Protein shake.
Lunch
chicken leg quarter
celery and carrots with homemade blue cheese
Dinner
Blackened Mahi Mahi on a bed of spaghetti squash noodles
Spinach Salad with blue cheese dressing and a couple slices of tomatoes
Broccoli
Up until Sunday morning I was getting hungy, but Sunday morning I made a 2 carb breakfast and I couldn't have the protein shake because I was just full. When lunch came around I ate a bit, but felt very full. Hoping this trend continues. As much as I like planning my meals it's nice not to constantly be hungry.
Another interesting meal tidbit. Friday night I took some leftover spaghetti squash 'noodles' and sautee`d them in a pan with a bit of butter and garlic. I then sprinkled parmesan on top, My daughter loved it and is already requesting it again. This is so much better than the package alfredo noodles she usually wants - my version is less than 6 carbs. The package has 45 carbs. Big difference!!
