Still A Good Day, Got Things Done And Ate Good

I did waste a couple hours sleeping today but all in all it turned out pretty good. Before the nap I had did more research for my book and took note of how to make something. After the nap, I sat and wrote for about an hour, I actually wrote about what I have already did at home and it works. I wanted to just get lost in writing but I couldnt, I have responsibilities. I laid out the meat Tony wanted and I went out to let the dogs loose and to do my walk. I got in 15 laps = 60 city blocks. I cooked on the grill eye outside just before dark when it was cooler on the deck. Now, food wise, how bad was bad today? Breakfast - sleep =0 calories Lunch - homemade veggie soup = 200 calories, Ice cream = 390 calories Dinner - 4 oz Hamburger steak, breaded and fried = 284 calories, salad = 75 calories, Coffee with creamer = 40 calories Total for the day, so far = 989 calories But if I am up later ( had that nap) I could eat again but I am sure I can stay under 1200. How was your day?

You always seem to do good with your calorie count.

Oddly enough I didn't take the nap yesterday I thought I would. I think I ended up hanging out here instead. Today I brought my crew to a customer's home to do some housework for her before she has her hip replaced. I'm not keeping track of my food although currently I'm not eating much at all. I began doing keto, and it's helping me not gain after surgery. I'm assure that once I go back to work I will begin losing.

@andriaperry that's helpful in sure and annoying too I'd think. But watching food labels can be a chore until it's a habit. If I could teach my hubby what to watch for that would be helpful.

Mine is not a diet its the doctor manipulating me to watch what I eat, its a life change.

I cannot even think about how many calories you drink. If life has been good for you, then go for it.

I think you did a great day. As of today, I just spend time to read 'The Clocks' by Agatha Christie this afternoon.

I think you did very well with your food. You also got a lot of work done for your book without neglecting your responsibilities. Great job getting the walk in. how long does it take to walk 15 laps?

I got some yard work done this morning before the 100f hit and I even did some stuff indoors, I'm not much for house keeping, thankfully no one, other than my kritters, lives with me. All in all another very good day.

Good you are doing so well. I plan to do a water first eating plan when I return home to get my water in and fill my belly a bit before eating. I've eaten too many carbs on this trip down to CA.

Just curious - how do you keep count of the laps you've done? Any time I try to count laps I lose count.
