Everyone woke up pretty cranky today and it was really hard to get started.
I am having a really hard time finding balance in my life. I work full time, have two kids in school (double the homework fun), try really hard everyday to eat well (Rosalie has me beat in that department), and started to exercise a few days a week. I used to be an avid crafter and now it seems like I just don't have the time to craft like I used to.
Anyway, here is what I ate today:
Breakfast was one egg and a piece of Oasis toast with Almond Butter:
Lunch was a couple of pieces of deli meat and slices of cheese- nothing spectacular. Now for my masterpiece- Veggie lasagna-without noodles (s/c 2/1) per serving:
Low sugar red sauce, zucchini, yellow squash, ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
Gotta run, my lasagna is calling...

Some tips if you are having trouble
- First make sure that you are staying under the 15/6. 15 sugars and 6 servings of carbs for the whole day. Thats no more than 5 sugars and 2 servings of carbs per meal.
- Track all of your sugar/carbs. Add everything from your meal together and count them that way.
- Try to stop eating whole grain carbs after 3pm.
- Make sure you drink lots of water.
- Count everything that you put into your mouth. Even sauces - everything , check labels.
- Make sure that you don't eat any artificial sugars. Check labels, if it says sugar free - look in the ingredients, look for....sucralose, aspartame, saccharine in the ingredients. Those are BAD!
- Going #2 is a big problem when a lot of people start the BFC. I have solved that problem with Clear Benefiber in my morning coffee and a scoop of Super Seed w/water in the afternoon. (you can buy the super seed on Amazon.com it is the cheapest).
- Choose your carbs wisely. Try to pick the carbs that will give you the lowest count of carbs, sugar and calories and the most fiber.
I hope this helps.

Looks good:)
ReplyDeleteOK, now I've got the "Manic Monday" song floating around in my head, LOL! I agree that finding balance in life is hard to do sometimes! Your food looks good.
ReplyDeletethat looks awesome! btw, i am down 17.5lbs on week 3! still going strong! we are off tomorrow on vacation, i think that could be the test of if i can maintain this as a lifestyle. staying at home its easy, on the road could be different, but i am gonna grab some cottage cheese when we get there so breakfast will be covered. its my favorite, cottage cheese with walnuts and truvia. i think i have had it every day except for 1! happy BFCing all!
ReplyDeleteoh, sorry for the double post, but i happen to have a crafty blog if you are interested. i totally know where you are coming from on the balance thing. pretty easy now that my kids are grown and i am retired/disabled. but at one point i was working full-time, in college full-time, in ROTC, in the national guard, and raising my kids as a single parent. going on active duty in the army was almost a break! hang in there and it will come!
