Hello everyone, how are you all doing?
Back to share my food and numbers for the day.
Let's start with the weigh in:
Last - 211.2
Today - 210.6
I did go down a little...but still more work needs to be done to get down to what I lost the first week.
Blood sugars - morning - 106 (wanted to make sure it didn't go up high during the night after that protein bar yesterday).
What I ate -
Meal 1 - 4 oz deli turkey, 2 oz cheese
Meal 2 - 4 oz blackened chicken with ranch
Meal 3 - 1/2 low carb enchilada (just wasn't hungry)
Macros for the day - Very low
Calories - 786
Protein - 68
Fat -50
Carbs - 9
I know I need to be getting more calories, just some days I am not very hungry. And I could probably eat the deli turkey every day...one of my favorite things to eat on low carb.
Need to have some fish tomorrow maybe, and add an egg or two...trying to think of other things to add to bring the calories up a little.
What do you think of the day? Will the scale go down? With eating so little probably not.

I know you are trying to do without the carbs, and you hate vegetables and fruits, I am not arguing that point. However, when I see what choices you really have, it occurs to me that this has to be very hard, as meat and eggs and cheese would get very tiring after awhile. I can see why you ''fall off the wagon'' so to speak, and eat something you shouldn't. Darned diabetes, it's just a mean thing...I wish they would come up with a cure for it.

Sadly there is no cure, except for maybe a pancreas transplant. But it can be reversed by not eating carbs/sugar. But I can't do it 100% like I need to

@MommyOfEli2013 It takes so long to lose weight and so very little to gain it back.

You're bound to lose weight with so few calories. You're doing a good job. Have a good day.

Probably more likely not if they are too low.
