been a while

Admittedly, I haven't been posting because I'm lazy. There's really no other explanation for it.

I start nursing school in one week. I'll be taking Microbiology and Nutrition. I expect to enjoy MB thoroughly and I expect to be frustrated by Nutrition. That being said, I ate terribly today. I know better and my body was very upset with me. Tomorrow is a new day, though. I will press on.

I am done watching my calories/carb intake. I know what I should eat in order to get good numbers, and there's no sense obsessing.

I'll write more here soon.

Had a much better day today. Ate well and I feel good. Here is my fitday:

Grams Calories %-Cals Calories 2,113 Fat 153.0 1,365 64 % Saturated 43.8 391 18 % Polyunsaturated 20.5 183 9 % Monounsaturated 64.1 569 27 % Carbohydrate 79.9 316 15 % Dietary Fiber 15.0 Protein 108.8 439 21 % Alcohol 0.0 0 0 %		Fat (64%) Carbs (15%) Protein (21%)

Okay, so I had a bad day. Let's not ever eat a whole bag of pork rinds covered in crap ever again. That was terrible. *shudders*

But then I started to feel better and ended up treating myself to a pancake and two cookies! Unneccessary, but mmm... delicious! I still ended up keeping my carbs under 100!

Here's today's fitday:

Grams Calories %-Cals Calories 2,258 Fat 164.5 1,480 65 % Saturated 67.2 605 27 % Polyunsaturated 10.1 91 4 % Monounsaturated 30.6 275 12 % Carbohydrate 68.7 271 12 % Dietary Fiber 10.3 Protein 128.9 522 23 % Alcohol 0.0 0 0 %		Fat (65%) Carbs (12%) Protein (23%)

Nothing to really report today, except that I ate way too many pancakes! Haha.

Here's my intake from fitday:

Grams Calories %-Cals Calories 1,897 Fat 135.9 1,223 63 % Saturated 76.9 692 36 % Polyunsaturated 5.9 53 3 % Monounsaturated 7.5 68 3 % Carbohydrate 91.0 356 18 % Dietary Fiber 14.3 Protein 87.4 353 18 % Alcohol 0.0 0 0 %		Fat (63%) Carbs (18%) Protein (18%)

Accountability

I have been trying to be primal for two months now. As of yesterday, I had 3-4 days where I ate pretty much whatever I saw at work/home. Let's just say - I felt terrible! So, I'm going to use this blog to keep myself accountable.

Tonight I made an adaptation of the sweet/salty trail mix on mark's site. I made a few alterations, however. I used half the honey. I did not add apricots or cranberries, but instead substituted 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips.

Fitday gives these totals for a 1/4 cup serving:
192 calories
16.2 g fat
3.8 sat fat
6.5 poly fat
4.8 mono fat
9 g carbs
2.8 dietary fiber
4.9 g protein

The first batch I didn't wait for it to cool to add the chocolate chips, so I now have a batch of chocolate coated nuts! Luckily my bf is into that, so he can eat that one! The second batch I am gonna wait for it to cool COMPLETELY before adding the chocolate. :)

I'm going to start posting my fitday totals every day so I can keep myself in line! So, here is mine for today (including 2/3 cup raw milk that I plan to indulge in shortly!):

Grams Calories %-Cals Calories 1,922 Fat 143.4 1,291 67 % Saturated 48.0 432 22 % Polyunsaturated 20.9 188 10 % Monounsaturated 44.3 399 21 % Carbohydrate 43.7 175 9 % Dietary Fiber 6.8 Protein 115.3 474 24 % Alcohol 0.0 0 0 %		Fat (67%) Carbs (9%) Protein (24%)
