1 BBQ'd Soy burger + bun

I'm disappointed in myself for not meeting my exercise goals but I'm happy
that at least I have gone back to eating normally (except the 2 cobs of
corn. It was just so delicious I had two. My other options on the table
would have been a salad or more meat). I think tomorrow I will change my
breakfast and have toast instead.

Another question - When you say BBQ'd do you mean cooked on a grill or
adding BBQ sauce to the food? My guess is this is just another example of
the different usage for words and it's cooking on a grill.

Hey...housework can be a lot of exercise.

It certainly is when you keep up with 2 dogs (one being a german shepherd),
a cat and 3 kids. Not to mention the traffic of 4 adults.

Yes by BBQ'd I mean cooked on the bbq grill.

I am curious, what is that vive soy, and also, how much protein and
fat did you eat? My son likes corn cobs...

i

Vive soy is a type of cereal. I don't keep track of protein or fat so I
don't know. Overall I don't think I get much protein daily. When I was
keeping track it was around the 30- 40 gram mark. A good day was 75g.

That being said...

I'm not concentrating on how much I'm having of what. For the time being
I'm trying to get as much processed stuff out of my life as possible and to
work on eating better regularly. I'm also working in more fruits and
veggies. I figure the protein, carb, fat thing will come into play when I
begin tweaking. Right now I'mnot at the tweaking stage. I'm more in the
controlling stage. I'm overhauling my eating lifestlye and patterns a
little at a time. That's the way I figured I could turn it all around.
Slowly. I keep repeating in my head. It took me 30yrs to get to the point
I was. It's not going to take 6 months to change.

May I ask? Most days you seem to eat 3 slices of f/f cheese. How big is a
slice? Is it a particular cheese? I have a picture in my head of those
processed slices and I'm sure that's not right. Is it because of your
weight lifting and needing the protein? It's just that I love cheese and
find I do need to limit it to treats.

These are processed slices -- 3/4 oz. each. What probably wasn't
clear to you is that I'm using "f/f" as an abbreviation for fat-free.
These really aren't nearly as tasty as real cheese, but I too love
cheese and like these as a substitute that I can eat freely. Each
slice has 30 calories, with 0 fat, 2 grams carbs, and 5 grams protein,
so the nutritional profile fits my eating goals quite well (and
they're a good source of calcium). I do try to get a good amount of
protein because of the weight lifting, but I couldn't eat this amount
of regular full-fat cheese without exceeding my desired calorie
levels. I do indulge in real cheese a few times a month when I go to
wine tastings, but don't make a regular practice of it.

Ah that makes a lot more sense! I was reading f/f as full fat and thinking
"that just can't work"!
