Baymule’s 2023 Diet

[baymule]

Every year about this time I go on a diet, it’s my anti hibernation fat winter diet. My goal is 7-10 pounds. Then I shall go back to my slovenly ways. Sweets are my downfall. But it takes all year to gain it back, so Eh.

Starting weight 137 pounds.

This is going to be counting calories and low carbs. Tonight I had a feta frittata.
Calories 378
Carbs 4g
Protein 19 g

Then I blew it with a glass of milk.
Calories 300
Carbs 24g

I’ll finish off that gallon and not buy anymore. Then I won’t be further tempted to add Hershey chocolate (lots of it) and drink 2 glasses of it. I do love milk!

Supper. It doesn’t look like the picture.

This thread is to keep me accountable. Anyone who wants to join in May do so. I will post recipes. This one serves 4, so I cut the recipe down to serves one. I will be using 2 Keto cookbooks and 1 Whole 30 cookbook.

Supper tonight was steak, stir fry with bell pepper, broccoli and red onion. Don’t know calorie or carb count, didn’t follow a recipe.

Wait, is this a diet thread or a ruin your diet thread?!

I always wanted to try making artistic looking sugar cookies so on Thursday I spent hours making icing and piping it onto some cookies that I had made the day before. I get impatient so I didn’t make them quite as carefully as I had wanted, but they turned out ok. But I only did a couple dozen of them.

What to do with the rest? I found a hack on line for the fastest way to frost cookies ever. 5 minutes and I was done with all the rest!

You just microwave a tub of store bought frosting and pour it all over! No artistic skills required! 😂

Don't give up milk...read this! It's good for you.
When milking, I drink a lot of it. Just no cookies with it 😁. Or the chocolate! Coffee creamers are oil and sugar. Look at plant milks first.

I’m still on my low calorie low carb diet. I pick up my granddaughters on Saturday for a week. So I may blow it for awhile. LOL
Weight last night was 135, this morning was 133. I’m getting there.

Will ya'll STOP! I already had my coffee - but ya'll are making me want to have another cup...or tea... or anything I can dunk a salted caramel biscotti into! OMG! I shoulda never bought those!

 

[baymule]

Tonight’s supper was burritos. 2 flour tortillas, half a cup of cubed steak, and cheese. Way over the normal calories and carbs, but it sure was good.

i'm making cream puffs this weekend

ARGH! I'm going to have to shut ya'll OFF if you keep doing this, lol! Or maybe I'll just join ya'll and go make a cheesecake! Yummy

Cream puffs sound really good...
