I set a couple of mini goals at the beginning of the week. One of these goals was to not eat a single thing that I didn't prepare from home with my own two hands. I did it. I can't remember a time in my adult life where at least one of my meals wasn't eaten from a drive thru or restaurant in a single week. This mini goal was set for two particular purposes: 1. for diet and 2. for my budget goals. I'm really excited to see how much further along I can get my with my debt payoff by staying out of restaurants.
My next mini goal was to keep my carb count at or under 30g Net carbs per day. It took a couple of days to get there, and I can see that I'm still trying to figure out my "typical food" day, but I am working on it. I will say that my higher carb days at the beginning of the week did include fruit, and I have an admitted weakness for tomatoes.
| Date | Carbs (g) | Calories |
| 1-Jun-15 | 55 | 1958 |
| 2-Jun-15 | 36 | 1612 |
| 3-Jun-15 | 28 | 1608 |
| 4-Jun-15 | 19 | 2202 |
| 5-Jun-15 | 12 | 1891 |
| 6-Jun-15 | 27 | 1322 |
So what has keeping these goals since Monday morning meant to me?
- I've lost 7 lbs
- I'm sleeping really well
- I don't feel as achy as I have been recently
- I haven't been sick to my stomach at all this week
- I feel accomplished
Let's see what happens after another 7 days. It's gonna be good.
