Thursday morning post

Well I never had a chance to do another post yesterday. The rest of the days foods went:

Lunch-
Weird Indian ground turkey concoction I tried to make
(It has both yogurt and cream in it) (6g carbs in the servings I had)
2 more deviled egg halves

Snack-
Serving of peanuts (3 carbs)
2 pieces of sausage jerky (1 carb)

Dinner-
2.5 hamburger patties with provolone cheese on them
2 Tbsp Low Carb Ketchup (2 carbs)
2 Tbsp Mustard

That was it. I resisted some great ice cream my wife was eating. I am finding it difficult to figure out what to feed the family while I am on this diet. I am perfectly capable of eating the exact same thing day in and out, but that is not fair for them. I am typically the one who prepares food, so I feel horrible subjecting them to what is easiest for me on this diet. I am going to have to consider some way of coming up with tasty low carb foods for them, but it is so hard to do this in the bulk I need to not go off diet.

As far as weight goes I weighed this morning at 332.5. That is what I am going to use for my starting point. I am going to continue where I am at with carb consumption and see how my weight loss progresses. I have been reading some interesting stuff in a 0 carb message thread over at the Livin' La Vida Low Carb discussion board. I am definitely going to work my way out of drink diet soft drinks. This also means I need to work on my caffeine addiction. I am hoping that by the middle of next week I will have gone through all of our diet drinks and I will mostly be drinking water.

Over the past several days my water drinking has increased I just need to keep that trend going.

So far for food today I have had:
Breakfast-
5 Turkey Sausage links

That is about all I have this morning. I have to drive to one of our other offices so I may be able to check back in today. Oh and my wife has agreed to help me take some before pics. Not sure when I am going to post them, but we shall see. I am a bit shy after all, and though I like to think I make 332 pounds work, I am also realistic about what people don't want to see. =)
