I started to count carbs and got overwhelmed.
I wrote out what I ate :
3 cups of coffee with cream and stevia
Lunch: 8oz of fish with a little thai carrot sauce on top, cup of sauteed red cabbage, cup of steamed brocolli.
dinner: 8oz bone-in pork chop grilled in grape seed oil, cup of green beans. snack: 28 almonds, 1 dark chocolate truffle.
I could easily get hypo trying to document each bite I took and just forget about trying to calorie count!
I am already spending a great deal of time on the computer.
I pretty much know what foods have what in them so I will just try to eat clean and avoid simple carbs. Eat as many veggies as possible, protein with every meal. (I only eat 2 meals a day, with a snack in the evening)
Choice for desert to night:
apple or lindt Dark chocolate truffle (blue ball one).
The truffle only has 5 carbs so it won!

Jeff just asked me if I wanted to go get a beer at whole foods.
(his beer has 400 calories)
I told him no hesitantly.
I did not tell him that I have started this diet.
I am hoping that I will be able to stick to it this week, until we go to the beach on the 12th.
That gives me 11 days to try to be good.
