This was quite the junk food day.  We didn’t really have a great excuse for it other than me being so tired.  My allergies are torturing me, but I’m not sure loading up on excess calories really helped me all that much.  It’s still nice to have that little break every now and then.

Food List 8–14 January

I decided to see if I was able to complete the 30 plant foods per week challenge, but I can’t just do a thing without adding levels of difficulty. In my list, I’ve included all spices and varieties, but still made sure that excluding those I reached 30.

While I don’t like overanalyzing what I eat, it’s interesting to see what all makes the list.  These are basically in order of how I ate them, but some were added at the end when I remembered them. Continue reading “Food List 8–14 January”

  • corn, unMeat Chili
  • Starbucks Dark Roast Cold Brew Coffee, almond milk, JSS Pistachio Syrup
  • Wasa Crispbread, spicy hummus
  • corn, Ranch Style Beans with Jalapeños
  • Oatmeal: quick oats, rolled oats, apples, JSS Candy Apple Syrup

NOTES: I’m craving beans.  I will try to start incorporating a small amount each day to deal with it; I sometimes do miss just having a whole can as a meal, but at the moment it’s just too many calories all at once.  It’s easy enough to just have a few with my other meals though.  We will see.

Weight loss seems slow right now.  I was mentally prepared for plateaus, but not for how to resolve them.  I’m a little frustrated, but I’m not discouraged.  I just feel like I’ve arrived at a puzzle and I’m not sure how to solve it.  Hopefully I figure it out though.  I’ve got a long way to go.  I need to look at my log critically and start whacking at things that aren’t helping.  There are a few areas to try.

I’m going to try just updating the logs daily and not making a daily post.  I might change that in the future, but if you are interested in my daily food logs, check them out in the menu.

  • Starbucks Dark Roast Cold Brew Coffee, almond milk, JSS Maple Donut Syrup
  • Taco Bell bean & rice burritos

NOTES: I’m pretty sure this is correct, but this is the first time since August that I didn’t write down what I ate in a day. I was so busy working on cleaning out the shed and when I finished, I sort of showered and crashed.  Long day–good day, but I’ll have to try to not go an entire day without recording anything.
