Shhhhh

I'm sleeping, or at least getting ready for bed.  There is not much happening. Seriously - NOTHING.  Just the same thing, different day.  Tomorrow is Poon day, and I'm ok.  I don't know where my weight will be - I suspect down a bit.

Because of Josh (coming the next day after Poon) and getting his info for me, I started My Fitness Pal to track my macros.  I've been playing around with it, and have found, I'm WAY over 20 net carbs on a normal day.  Basically around 75 carbs, and with fiber down to about 50 sometimes.  Because for Dr Poon I had to write down my foods too, I realized there's a bit of a difference between macro numbers and Poon's ok foods.  So I don't know exactly what Poon thinks is ok as 4 cups of 'other' veg is allowed along with unlimited greens.  But in macros, even having less then 4 cups, and a little greens, I'm running around 75-100 grams. Which is apparently on some sites is considered low carb.  So... that means it's ok.  I get confused when things aren't black and white for me.  I like grey, only because I KNOW I'm in a grey area, as I know what the black and white areas are.  Follow?

Talking with AJ about it, I'm now waiting to see what Josh says.  I will ask him to have a clearer macro line then asking Dr Poon.  I suspect Dr Poon will say a bunch of my meals have too many carbs in them.  To ask him about the macros is probably a no-no.  That's not how he works.  Seeing my meals, I realize too, that I am semi-unwilling to go back to Phase 1 Poon foods.  I feel comfortable with the foods I eat, and at times struggle to maintain.  I sense I would melt down if I had to limit even more then I am already.  Since I haven't been exercising lately, I also suspect starting with Josh and exercising will help me more in the long run. Will make the eating low carb foods easier to do.  Guess I will just have to see what happens.

Today was:
B - cinn/flax bagel, butter, jam, cottage cheese, coffee with 1/2 protein shake and almond milk.
L - beef stew (made myself - beef, spinach, green beans)
S - slice of zucchini, slice of yellow pepper, tea/lemon (PS lemon has carbs!  I kinda didn't count them!!) halva
D - chicken, bok choy, cauliflower pearls, jello, tea/lemon
S - bagel, butter/jam

Calories are good - in the 1300 range.  Protein and fat are fine..... carb too high?

Other then that - not much else to report.  That being said, I'm going to wait until after Josh day to write - at least then I can report on Dr Poon and Josh etc - might be somewhat more interesting.

Thus I shall head off to bed, and leave you with a post:  😄😏
