I have a busy life. I am often on the run. Today was like that. I grabbed a large coffee first thing & it lasted most of the morning. I have adjusted to sugar free flavored coffee but it took me a while to let go of the whole milk! I love my coffee. It is my "bridge" when I feel the need to have something, especially when I am not really hungry. I drink alot of coffee.
I do not drink water.. any water. I do drink Publix sugar free sweetened tea. (light blue cap) I quit soda over 2 years ago. I am thinking of trying to drink 1 bottle of water a day. Thinking, not doing yet, really don't like water! I have tried adding the powders to it, but I might as well drink my tea if I am gong to do that. One of the hardest changes with the LB is not drinking while I eat. I adjusted to it very fast when the alternative was to throw up what I had just eaten. That is how it affects me anyway. That may not happen with everyone, I can only speak for myself.
I did well today. I put back some cheese straws I almost bought. I told myself 10grams of carbs for several mini straws wasn't so bad. Truth: I would have eaten the whole box which would have been over 100grams of carbs. My daily allowance is supposed to be 39grams. So I put them back!
I resisted the Godiva Caramel Chocolate bar at the checkout & passed by all the drive thru's on the way home. I had some leftover roasted chicken & some romaine lettuce. I chopped up about 1 cup of each. (I still prepare too much in volume for myself, working on that!) I discovered a condiment called Lemonaise.. it has lemon, creole mustard & garlic in it. Tons of flavor & NO CARBS. All natural made by The Ojai Cook. I use it in chicken or tuna salad, on hot chicken or fish. Yummo!
