Gastography

Today was good, despite deciding to go grocery shopping at the crappy and always full of shenanigans grocery store – the Saturday before Thanksgiving – during a .99 a pound turkey sale.

I was quite proud of myself for remaining calm the entire hour and a half I was at the store, battling through the aisles and wandering in circles looking for things I don’t normally buy in the center aisles. 

I also felt fine today, if a bit hungry all day.
Breakfast

1/4 cup macadamia nuts + coffee with stevia because I was out of almond milk. 

I also had a mug of bone broth before venturing out.

Lunch

Hit my favorite neighborhood BBQ joint for some smoked brisket, smoked chicken, and sautéed collards.

Dinner

Spent the whole time at the grocery trying to think of something for dinner. Didn’t work. I came home and grabbed some leftover cheese dogs, frozen broccoli and butter.

Snack

Had a 3 carb cafe misto with almond milk from Starbucks while walking in the little sunshine we had today.

And a 1 ounce meatball after dinner while waiting for my new lemony fat bombs to harden.

Plus a fat bomb when they were ready.

Today was good. Brought adequate meeting snacks, had lunch out with a friend, and felt good – though damn I had a lot of calories.
Breakfast

Sunflower butter with that weird bread again.

Meeting Snacks

Extra coffee + a repeat of yesterday’s snacks because they were so good.

Lunch

Booo. Forgot to take a picture of lunch – went to Sweetgreen and got the OMG Omega salad – salmon, arugula, spinach, light cherry tomatoes, cucumber, half an avocado, furikake seasoning, and I swapped the miso dressing for heavy olive oil & a lemon juice. 

It was delicious and sitting enjoying the nice day was even better.

Forgot to take a pic of lunch, but this was on the High Line:

One of the perils of eating out is hitting your macros before dinner.

That’s what happened to me today.

Dinner

A repeat – 2 ounces chicken, 2 tablespoons snack guac, 2 strips snack bacon & 1 tablespoon mayo.

Snack

1 coconut fat bomb

Today was fine, despite running around and almost letting myself get too hungry.
Breakfast

That flat little keto bread I made – that has grit – grit! – from psyllium husk I didn’t grind fine enough, and is so dense it could maybe be a weapon with sunflower seed butter. 

Lunch

 I’m a glutton for punishment and had already made sandwiches up, so I had a roast beef sandwich with that strangely crunchy bread.

Dinner

Ran home and completely couldn’t fathom cooking the dinner I had planned. Ate pretty much what I had for lunch yesterday – 2 Tbsp. guac, 2 ounces chicken breast & 1 Tbsp. mayo.

Snack

Needed something to drink while out and didn’t want to just put $2 on my credit card, so I grabbed a snack while at 7-11. And I’m glad I did, because I was on the verge of hangry while on the train home and didn’t want that to translate into car sickness. 

Grabbed these little meat stick bites (0 carbs), and the snack nuts from my purse (macadamias and seasoned pumpkin seeds).

Today was much better than yesterday. I wasn’t sick at all today, had adequate energy, and lived life.

Breakfast

A repeat of yesterday’s coconut milk smoothie.

Lunch

1.5 ounces chicken, 2 Tbsp. guacamole, 1 hard boiled egg & 2 Tbsp. avocado oil mayo.

Dinner

A riff on fried rice with ground pork, an egg, riced broccoli, fish sauce, coconut aminos and sesame oil. 

Snack

1 coconut fat bomb way late – should have had it right after yoga, because I always need something right after yoga, but decided to wait.

Today was poo. I spent most of the day nauseous and I have no idea if it’s something I’m doing wrong with Keto, or something else. Boooooooo today. 
Breakfast

Another smoothie experiment – this time with canned coconut, which was satisfying.

Stomach felt vaguely unsettled after breakfast – verging on nauseous. 

I wasn’t sure if I was just getting hungry or not, so I elected to eat lunch anyways. 
Lunch

Since my batch cooked items are carby, and I want my damn salmon tonight – I had the last of the unintentionally holiday-themed eggy cups from last week.

Lunch was hard to choke down. My stomach was still unsettled – and I had to work against my brain, which kept insisting that I was going to feel like crap from eating an omelette (which randomly happens to me) and that I was going to die of cheese (I do really need to cut it out with the cheese – cheese is not my friend). 

Layed down a couple hours after lunch because my stomach was just not happy and I felt kind of dizzy. Skipped my planned workout because movement just wasn’t happening.
Dinner

The hotly contested (by my macros) salmon Caesar salad! With Keto croutons. And lots of butter. 

Ate dinner – it was delicious – but felt kinda nauseous the whole time. And I *swear* there was hunger lurking in the back of all that ick right before dinner.
