Diet, June 15, 2009

Instead of counting the days, I'm going to just start posting the date as my title unless there's something interesting to write about. So my Friday "day off" from the diet became a "weekend off" instead, as I had plans for Sunday with friends and I frankly got lazy on Saturday.

Friday was Mom's birthday. Took her to Bonefish Grill. I ate Chilean sea bass with jasmine rice, enjoyed a few slices of crusty bread with spiced olive oil dipping sauce, and had a glass of shiraz. Mom, my brother and I also split a seared ahi tuna appetizer & a "Bang Bang Shrimp" appetizer. (Fried shrimp, spicy) Oh, and a brownie/raspberry sauce/ice cream dessert that was so rich I couldn't even finish it. Just as well, eh? That was the beginning of my "Saturday" by night shift reckoning.

Saturday morning before going to bed, I had a Healthy Choice rotini meal for "breakfast." Small portion, and it was just right to curb my appetite.

Later in the evening, I got a shredded beef burrito & some chips & salsa from Qdoba Mexican Grill. Admittedly, Qdoba's burritos are very large. Maybe not as quite as large as at Moe's, but substantial.

Sunday, I went to the Rays game. Beforehand, we stopped at the Westshore Mall food court. not much was open, so I had teriyaki chicken with fried rice & pot stickers. And a Coke. Later, at the game, I had a medium order of "Dippin' Dots" ice cream and also a coke. That was the end of the weekend's indulgence.

Because that much junk food would kick my arse right out of ketosis, I will do a couple of days of protein (Stage 1- 12 servings very lean protein, no fruit/veg) until I can verify I am back in ketosis.

Today, 6/15/09:

Water: 3/4 gallon

Cardio: Haven't really slept in the last 2 days, and I am about to pass out as I type. Cardio will resume on Tuesday morning.

Meal 1- 4 oz tuna steak (4 vlp)

Meal 2- 8 oz chicken (8 vlp)

Totals: 12 servings very lean protein. If not for the slight shortfall in water, would've been a perfect jump start.
