Carbs, revisited

I've been noticing problems lately.  Little things, not immediately obvious to others, but I notice cause I'm looking for it.

1) I'm constantly thirsty.  I probably need to drink way more water.  Blech.
2) I'm constantly in the bathroom.  I swear, I pee more than I drink.
3) I feel ill.  Often.  It's nothing major, just minor nausea.  Worse in morning.  Really really bad if I eat carbs at dinner.

All these lead me to believe I need to watch my carbs better.  Or drink more water.  Probably both.

I also had a chat with a friend Saturday night.  He's diabetic, and knows I struggle.  He got me to admit that the problem is really that I haven't been as careful as I should be.  I KNOW it takes diet watching to keep the sugars under control.  I just, damnit, WANT the ice cream and the baked potato, and it makes me angry that I can't have it.

Yes, I can have a little bit.  No, I don't seem to be able to stop.

So, with that talk under my belt, and being forced to admit, out loud, that I'm screwing up, I've been trying to be better.

Yesterday, breakfast was 2 eggs, scrambled. Yay for jason getting up and making me food.

Lunch, I had mixed greens with some ranch and some stroganoff.  Extra meaty, low noodly stroganoff.  Jason and I make it specifically to be carb-friendly.

Dinner, I had a single jalapeno cheddar sausage (230cal, 3carb), and a salad.  A plateful of salad.  Mixed greens, a bit of pepperjack, some ranch, a bunch of tomato and onion.  And a single sweet pickle.  NOM.

Was it the best calorie-day?  No.  Was it the best carb-day?  No.  The stroganoff, while sticking to low-carb ideals was probably still too high.  I drank my usual morning coffee (half-caf drip, sf toranis), then water for the rest of the day.

Today tho?  I felt way better this morning.  Win.

Today, I had a yogurt for breakfast.  Yoplait lights are yummy.  I had boston cream pie.  It was good. Then for lunch I had mixed greens with some ranch. Also yummy.  I want it known that I'm having a good day so far, food wise.  And this is with waking up with a migraine (missed 2 hours of work killing it) and then having my period start WHILE i was at work.  Today is TRYING to kick my ass.  I'm not letting it.

I've had my morning coffee, and have a single diet soda for this afternoon.  Then water for tonight.

It's a start.

Edit: Continued  with the water throughout the evening.  Dinner was half a steak and a salad.

Wednesday, 4/6

Meal 1: 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2oz gravy: 330/4

Meal 2: Veggies: 80/16

Meal 3: Burrito Bits: 300/10
Work had burritos.  I adjusted this to have:
chicken, beef, onion, cheese, sour cream, salsa
I'm estimating on the total cal/carb.  Nothing was measured, but the food was about right for a standard 300cal meal.  Nothing was high carb, so I picked an arbitrary moderate meal for me #.  I've been OK enough this week that I can estimate this and feel ok.

Monday, 4/4

Breakfast: apple & cream cheese: 185/27
1 medium gala apple:95/25
2 tbsp cream cheese:90/2
about 1/2 tsp SF toranis caramel syrup:0/0
I mixed the caramel with the cream cheese, sliced up my apple, and dunked.  YUM

Lunch: veggies (80/16)
I have a bag of frozen stir fry veggies.  I steamed up 10 cups (which came out to 5 cups after cooking) and split it into 5 portions.  I ate 1 for lunch, and packaged the other for lunches this week. :)

Afternoon Surprise (570/92)
Jason stopped at mcdonalds on the way home to get something to eat.  he brought me home a small strawberry (mccafe) shake.  it was tasty, but WOW.

Dinner: (319/30)
fish sticks (200/20)
1/2 can green beans (44/9)
1 tbsp tartar sauce (75/1)

Daily Total: 1154/165

OK, so most of this came from the milkshake.  And the carbs were super high.  I would probably have had more fish sticks, or a late-night snack without it.  But I had it, so I adjusted for it, and it came out ok.

Also: I seem to be handling the higher dose of carbs ok.

Breakfast:
mcd egg mcmuffin, no bread, no cheese. 120/2

Feels like I'm spiraling out of control.  I'm just so freaking hungry, constantly!  This week has been rough, and I know my weight's going up, I'm just trying to minimize it.

The coming week doesn't look much better.  BBQ tonight (MMMM!), and gaming tommorrow (i always over munch) and then Gamestorm end of next week.  Here's to making good choices.  I hope I can.

Part of me feels like just giving up.  Part of me thinks I already have.  Most of me wants to cry about it.  But I'm going to do what I can to keep going.

I'm telling myself 'just one day'.  If I can do this for just one day, it'll help.  Right?

Lunch: salad: 130/19
1 C lettuce 5/2
1/2 C spinach 4/1

Other things are going well too.  For starters, I got that huge MIB project done, which seriously reduced my stress.  My laundry is caught up.  And I got in some DS time - finished my game even!!!  And I took a nice long hot bath yesterday too.  WOOT.

coming undone

I'm having issues this week, in case it wasn't obvious.

Trying to track what I eat is just making my brain hurt.  I'm trying to watch the carbs but I don't think I'm doing well.  I'm depressed about that, but I can't seem to drag myself up out of it.  I know in the past that when I stop listing what I'm eating the weight goes back up.  I just feel like I don't have time to list.  I know it only takes a few moments, but it's just not happening.

I'm overwhelmed as hell this week.  It's making me stressed, and I feel like I'm on the verge of yelling and screaming...or just breaking down and crying.

Work's driving me NUTS.  A project with horrible direction and impossible timeframes got handed to me.  I've been trying to work on it but it's jut not happening.  It finally got taken away today which should be a relief but it just makes me wonder when the other shoe will drop and I'll get fallout for not being able to handle it. So that's stressing me.

My manager's out this week, so I'm handling supe calls.  not a huge deal, I do it a lot, but it's just an added stress point that's not helping.

Seems like the last few days everyone sitting around me needs help with stupid crap they should know.  My patience is definitely stretched thin.

I'm still trying to get the house unpacked.  I've gotten to the point where I'm not sure what to do with the rest of the stuff.  I'm irritated that I don't have it all setup, and I'm irked that I don't know HOW to set it up, and I don't want to just let Jason do it cause I want to have a say in how it looks, damnit. I *had* some plans for furniture to let me display stuff but then there was a tax mess that kind of screwed that up. 

Add tax irritation to the stuff that's annoying me this week.

And then there's the Gamestorm project.  I can't figure out the bloody scheduling system.  And I'm supposed to get 6 people scheduled for 4 days.  it's about 100 seperate sessions.  It's seriously getting to me.  I know how much work it's going to be, and it needs to be DONE, and I can't figure it out, and I haven't had time to just sit down and FIGURE IT OUT.  I don't want help, and I don't want someone to do it for me.  It's my responsibility.  I take my MIB duties seriously, damnit.  Add that to irritation/stress.

Ad I keep thinking about all those little things you need to do to keep a house up.  I need to clean the toilets, and wipe down the stair rails.  The bathroom floors need cleaning.  Laundry needs to be done and put away.  I want to wipe down the window sills. And when I look out the backdoor I see the yard which needs...SOMETHING done to it, and I don't even know where to start.  None of it's major, but the house is way bigger than I'm used to, and I want to keep it up, and I'm feeling overwhelmed by the size, I think.  It seems like a huge amount to keep clean.

And we keep doing things.  Which, I like doing things, don't get me wrong....It's just piling up on top of everything else.

Monday there was grocery shopping.  Tuesday I had a dentist appointment and we went bowling with friends.  Wednesday the furniture repair person came over and we went to D&D.  I *did* get the kitchen cleaned, at least. Tonight's open.  Friday we're going to either have ppl over or go to Harveys (comedy club). Saturday Jason's sister is visiting.  Sunday we're going to a movie.

It's all stuff I like doing.  I LIKE being busy.  But right now I'm feeling like I'm pulled in too many directions.  I just want to curl up and cry.  I want to make fake potato salad.  I want to nap.  I want to get my carbs under control - I've been sick two mornings in a row now.  I want to try out my new DS games.  I want to quit dreaming that I'm running behind and out of control and get a good night's sleep. I want to finish up my library books and get them back. I want to sit and watch a single tv program.  I want a bubble bath.

None of that stuff is happening right now.  Instead, I'm just trying to focus on managing day to day and handle what bits I can.  Tonight, I'm going to tackle that scheduling system and see if I can make it make ANY sort of sense.  And then I'm going to try going to bed early, cause right now I'm sleeping worth crap.

And forget listing food.  I'll get to it when I get to it.  It just got re-prioritized at the bottom of my list.  I'll weigh in Saturday morning.  here's hoping it doesn't go up.

veggie box. 105cal, 11carbs

I made a lil box of veggies for my lunches this week.  Since I'm not working today, I ate one for breakfast.
I bought a bag of fresh cauliflower/broccoli/carrot from safeway.  The bag had 10servings, each one at 25cal and 5carbs.  I turned it into 5 servings, so that's 50cal, 10 carbs.  Then I added 1/8th cup of jarred alfredo sauce to each one.  1/4 C of it is 110cal, 2carbs.  so 1/8th is 55, 1carb.  Added together, I get the 105, 11carbs.  And Yummy.

Lunch:

I nukerwaved 1 can of chicken (210cal, 0carbs), and 2 cups of a veggie stir fry mix.  1 C of the veggies is 40cal, 8carbs.  so that's 80, and 16.  add to my chicken and I get 290cal, 16carbs

Sunday, 2/6

between working and moving and such, i was so fried I don't even know.

There was some left over pizza (1 piece), and some chips (I remember being careful), a few bites of white chocolate, and some low-cal nutty bars.  a couple bites of donuts.  a kfc double down down.  Carrots with hummus.

Yep.  That's all I remember.  Most of Sunday's just hazy.

Sugar Update!!!

So, I had a dr's appt last night.  And during said dr's appt, they did a sugar test.  It had been about 3-4 hours since I ate.  This was really the biggest concern.  Without carbs, I have little lasting energy, and there's been a slight concern that my blood sugar would drop too low.

89, baby!  Doctor was VERY pleased.  I've also dropped 8lbs in the last 2 weeks (per their scale).  and the cholesterol levels had dropped, which was another concern with the extra meat I've been eating.

WOOT!

Thursday, 2/3

Breakfast:
4 slices bacon, 1 egg: 300cal, 0carb

Lunch:
salad: 233cal, 10carb
2 slices bacon (100cal, 0carb)
1 C spinach (7cal, 1 carb)

1/2 C bell pepper (20cal, 4 carb)

1 small head of brocolli (apparently this is called a stalk): 51cal, 10 carb
1/4 Cup Ragu Alfredo sauce: 110cal, 2carb

Daily Total: 914cal, 22carbs

Not only did I do AWESOME, but dinner was SO tasty.  Sure as hell beats fast-food burgers!!!!  I steamed up my broccoli, and Jason cooked up the chicken (and some pasta for himself), and heated up the alfredo sauce.  I was really unsure about jarred sauce, but wanted to try it.  And I'd picked the lowest carb I could find.  Then we each built our own plate and mixed it up.  OMG it was good.  I've been craving fettucini alfredo and THIS was pretty much exactly what I was wanting.

I even tried of one of his noodles.  It was blech.  Tasted all bland and starchy.  Yick.

NOMNOMNOM broccoli!!!

Wednesday, 2/2

1 tbsp cheddar (29cal, 0carb)
1/3 C cottage cheese (73cal, 3 carb)
1/2 tbsp ranch (35cal, 1 carb)

Dinner:
I went to Izzys (buffet)!  Now, this is not a screwup.  I want to be clear on that.  This is a deliberate choice to over eat, and say 'screw off' to the diet.  I've been feeling very depressed about not being able to just eat, and it's been stressing me, and making me grouchy.  So I chose, for one night, to toss caution to the wind and just eat what I wanted.  File it under 'not being deprived'.  I counted nothing, didn't worry about anything, and just had fun.  I had mashed potatoes AND jojos.  I dunked in ranch to my heart's content.  I had mac & cheese.  I had corn.  I ate pulled pork with sweet bbq sauce.  I had bread pudding.  I had oreo pudding.  I had ice cream with chocolate AND caramel sauce.  And some other stuff I forget.  I measured nothing.  It was AWESOME.

Math Fail?

Dennys Menu....is not easy to find what I ate
----
western omelette w/ hashbrowns is 700cal, 32carbs
this includes 3 eggs
i had a western omelette, egg whites only, w/o hashbrowns
hashbrowns are 210cal, 26carbs
2 eggs scrambled are 260cal, 1carb
2 egg whites are 50cal, 1carb
....
now the math
the difference btwn the scrambled and the whites are 160cal per 2
so 80cal each
i had 3 eggs, so a difference of 240cal
add in hashbrowns, i'm subtracting 450cal, and 26carbs
so total for egg white western omelette is 250cal, 6carbs

....assuming there's no math fail

WTF Happened?

Something went wrong last night, and I'm not sure what.

I ate my taco salad about 12:30.  Everything was fine.  I ate my burger and dog at about 6:30, then followed it up with a cup of coffee at the bowling alley around 7.

About 7:30 I got dizzy as all hell.  I almost fell down.  It felt JUST like a sugar spike.  I fixed my own coffee, so I KNOW it was splenda and creamer.  I was using a generic powdered creamer, without nutritional info.  I'm not sure if there was something in my burger/dog that added sugar or if there was something in the creamer, but I was definitely having a sugar issue.  Some friends sat with me, got me water, and it passed in about a half hour.

Scared the crap out of me tho.  I have no idea what triggered it.

This morning, I woke up exhausted and sick.  I SHOULD have had plenty of sleep, but my body didn't seem to know it.  I'm suspicious that it was the aftermath of a sugar crash (which will generally happen after a spike).   I was so tired I was crying while trying to get dressed, and felt like I was barely restraining a temper tantrum.  Then the dry heaves started every time I tried to move.  Mind you, I went to bed just a few minutes later than normal, and didn't have trouble sleeping.

I ended up calling in to work and going back to sleep around 5:30 (I get up around 4:45).  I slept til 10:30. I still don't feel quit rested, but the tantrum is gone.

...Wish I knew what caused it.  This scares me.

-------------
Addendum: the burger & hot dog seem fine.  Then I found this page. It shows that SOME powdered creamers can have up to 8g carbs.  I used two packages for my size cup and DOWNED it. So I potentially threw 16grams of carbs into my system, in liquid, easy-to-digest format in the course of under 30min.  I BROKE me!!! Note to self: Use my OWN coffee creamer when in doubt.  Mine only has 2carbs/packet.
