Hello everyone, how are you?
It's 12:50 AM here so I will probably getting sleep fairly soon. I did want to share how I did today with food and everything.
Tomorrow I will share my weekly weigh in, not sure if I will lose anymore overnight to have a lower weight tomorrow - but I have hit a new low this week.
My blood sugars, according to my CGM, were once again higher than I would like. Right now it is sitting about 115, but I feel that it under 100. Note: checked and it is 106 by finger stick.
What did I eat?
Meal 1 - we went to a local diner type place - I had 2 strips of bacon (they were thicker than what I cook at home) and 2 eggs.
Meal 2 - protein shake, and some butter since the shake had practically none
Meal 3 - 2 eggs, 4.5 oz deli ham, a little more butter
Macros -- 1,178 calories, 6 carbs, 86 fat, 83 protein
Not too bad on the macros, except fat being not much more than protein.
Now I am once again at the stage where I don't know what to have for meals tomorrow. That's one of the worst things about this way of eating. No convenience.
What do you think about the day, and everything?

This is about the time where I start thinking of how great it would be to have a personal chef. Then it would be their job to worry about what to cook tomorrow. 
If you could have a personal chef or a cleaning lady/man, which would you rather have? I think I’d rather have a cleaning lady. But either one would be great!

@AmbiePam if we were rich? I would probably be selfish because I have never had lots of money.

I would love that lol, just tell them what I want and they will make it? Nice!
A cleaner would be awesome too.
Not sure I could pick one lol, I'd have to be rich enough to afford both lol!

Definitely trying. Probably will have carbs tomorrow, but hopefully with walking around 3 or 4 stores will help as we're going on a shopping trip.

I hope you figure out what you will have for tomorrow. We will have bacon and eggs for breakfast.

@MommyOfEli2013 I love salmon a friend of mine catches them and brings them to me. He likes to fish but does not like fish.

@jstory07 That's nice of them to bring you the fish. Very interesting that he doesn't like to eat it but likes to catch them

I am happy I started it. I realized that I just need to be mindful of my eating and I won't really get hungry. I just really need to be aware of what I eat

@rakski that's good you are happy you did...and that is a good way of thinking about it. I mostly track to make sure I get enough protein because some days I am not hungry enough to eat much

That's great that you are on day 3 of tracking calories. Hopefully it will be a good tool. 1200 is a good amount. I think we should at least be at that to not starve our bodies.

Hitting a new low this week is something to celebrate.

Yes it definitely is, just hope it's not too fast either

Yes it has been. I'm sure I'll put some water weight on tomorrow though, probably going to have some carbs since we're going on a big shopping day.
The meal planning is very tough...helps if you take a couple things out to defrost, then at least there are options.
Almost out of the ham, but it would make a good meal. Took some bacon out to defrost too
