Hey everyone, how are you all doing?
I know this is late since I was supposed to share it last night, but better late then never I guess.
I shared that I had gone up 6 pounds after my carb weekend. Well, I did go down about a pound after being back on track yesterday, so that is a good start.
What did I eat yesterday?
Meal 1 - about 14 oz top round sirloin steak cooked in beef tallow
Meal 2 - 10 lil smokies (sausages) with a dipping sauce of avocado mayo and zero sugar ketchup
Dessert - a small piece of my eclair birthday dessert. I know, not on plan but I did my best to track it (I didn't know how many pieces we got out of it, so it is an estimate).
Macros - 1,259 calories, 38 carbs, 75 fat, 104 protein
Not too bad on carbs with having the dessert, and now it is gone so no more extra carbs this week lol.
I did get the Just Dance game and Eli played with me; he was proud of himself for beating me in almost every song we did. But that did get me up to almost 6,000 steps for the day - I didn't track how long or how many calories burned but will when I do it as a serious workout.
What do you all think of the day of eating?

You wer eon your usual track and a little bit of eclair should be easy to work off.

It's more the insulin spike and inflammation that is my concern from the dessert.

Sounds like you are doing well this week. Keep up the good work.
Those lil smokies sure sound good. I'm about to have dinner soon and I am hungry.
I don't know any of the songs nowadays. Better luck next time.

Well just hoping to lose the extra I gained, plus a little before I see my doc in December. Want him to be surprised with the weight loss
They are very good, more carbs than I would like though...but still have them most days.

Wow! That’s a big old steak! Must have cost you a bomb. Was your eclair choux pastry filled with cream and half covered in chocolate? Delicious! 
Hard to only eat a small piece of that I bet. Gimme, gimme! 
I’ve no idea what the Just Dance game is. I guess it’s nothing but dancing. Am I right?
I usually try to get around 8-10,000 steps in a day. Sometimes longer if the weather is nice. It’s turned cold here, so I have to wrap up warm and hurry round.

Well I knew I wouldn't get much protein otherwise for the day so I had a lot. They are pretty costly, but we buy enough to have those steaks maybe once a week. I wish I could eat it daily though, if I ever win the lottery lol.
Well this was not a true eclair, but a layered dessert with the same flavors of an eclair. Not sure if you know what tiramisu is, but kind of like that I guess. It's so good though
The just dance game is just dancing yes, you get points by doing the moves correctly lol
That's a good amount of steps to try and get. That stinks about the weather, but same here actually.

That's great, they are really good. Haven't heard of the butterball ones, I just think of turkey from that brand!

Haha, that's the best part? But he was I think. I hope he'll want to do it in the future, after I've had some time to practice

Too bad they didn't have them back when we were kids! Eli got all into it, even though he said before he hates the game lol. I got exhausted after just the first song lol, but we did quite a few.

Congratulations on your health journey. Your daily calorie intake will really help you on achieving your health goal. 1200 is a good calorie range to start
