End of Day Count (yesterday!)

Well it's only 18 hours late for my end of day count for yesterday.

Carb 130.62 (7 servings) (out of 120 or 6 servings)
Sugar 9.07 (out of 15)

So I was way under for sugar and a bit over for carbs. I have not been getting enough fiber rich foods in my carbs, so yesterday I had brown rice and red beans in my lunch. It was a good compromise. But, I am still learning how to do it all.

Still losing. Tomorrow I will have another weigh in, but I think I have hit a new mark!! The seat belt in both cars hooks easily and I will be moving that goal from short term, to completed today!!

End of Day Count

Carbs 133.44 or 6 servings (out of 6 servings)
Sugar 16.68 grams (out of 15)

And, my day included an awesome Baked Ravioli Lasagna.

I am down 14.5 pounds in the last 9 days!!! I am so excited, I almost don't believe it. I know this rate of loss won't last forever, but it sure is motivating.

End of Day Count - Yesterdays!

Carbs 71.22 - 4 servings (out of 6)
Sugar 24.98 (out of 15)

WOW!! Did I go over the sugar. But carbs were under. I had an awesomely delicious salad for dinner. Spinach, chicken, gorgonzola cheese, and walnuts - all things I am supposed to eat. But, it had grapes in it. Not many grapes but just enough to go over the sugar by almost 67%. So, live and learn. Next time I have that salad, the grapes are NOT in it.

End of Day Count

Today's Count was another good one. A bit over the sugar count again, but quite a bit under the carb count. The stew I made was so filling, that all I needed tonight was popcorn and a string cheese.

Carbs 82.9 grams or 5 servings (out of 6)
Sugar 19.51 grams (out of 15)

I had a yogurt for breakfast. It was fat and sugar free, but dairy has lactose in it and lactose is sugar. I am back to the egg breakfasts tomorrow. I think I am going to try doing the fruit/dairy exchanges on the weekends only or at least only 2-3 times a week so it doesn't get to be a habit.

End of Day Count (yesterday!)

Lots of empty calories yesterday in the form of wine and vodka. Although there is no sugar in either of them, and only 3 carbs per glass in the wine. However with that it mind, I stayed below in the carb count and above in the sugar count by a small bit, due to the grapefruit for breakfast. So, it was a GREAT DAY!!! And, I can take 2 more goals off my list.

Carbs 82.89 grams (5 servings) (out of 6 servings allowed)
Sugar 19.67 grams (out of 15 grams allowed)

End of Day Count

Today's Count:

Carbs 49.70 grams or 3 servings (out of 6 servings)
Sugar 6.61 grams (out of 15)

EXCELLENT and room for my grapefruit tomorrow morning!

Yesterday's Ending Count

Ending count for Thursday 2/3/2012

Carbs 32.74 grams - 2 servings (out of a possible 6)
Sugar 15.19 grams - (out of a possible 15)

I ate vegetables that I love and used up my sugar, so I didn't have enough left to have all my carbs. It was a conscious choice. I wasn't hungry!

End of Day Count

Today was much easier than yesterday. And, I seemed to have found the balance with adding carbs and staying below in sugar.

Carbs - 94.53 grams or 5 servings (out of 6)
Sugar - 6.42 grams (out of 15)

***

End of Day Count

Carbs 59.71 (out of a possible 120)
Sugar 10.25 (out of a possible 15)


I think there is a possibility that if I keep going under this much, it won't be a good thing. But for today it is awesome to me!!

And, I can remove one of my short term goals which was to make it through one full day and replace it with another.

Today's Ending Count

So, as of 9:34PM on the first day, I have my totals for the day:

Carbs(g)131.64 (7 servings) - (should have been under 120 g/6 servings)
Sugar(g) 36.59 (should have been under 15 grams)

I am pretty pleased. Yes it's over the limits, but considering I ate a massive amount of birthday cake as my breakfast, I did manage to control the rest of the day well.

I have my first check-in with my accountability coach at 11PM. I know I can do this!!
