I’m a very visually-inclined person so I find it much easier to stay on task if I have a to-do list and I can physically see what I’ve achieved during the day.  I know it’s only 3 days into my plan but I feel more focused.  I have actual achievable goals now.  Yay!

Chocolate Nurri (150 cal, 30g protein, 3g carbs) 4oz Ground Beef (240cal, 21g protein) 1/2 Sweet Potato (90 cal, 2g protein, 21g carbs) 2oz Cauliflower Rice Cassava Chips (195cal, 1.5g protein, 25.5g carbs) 4oz Ground Beef (240cal, 21g protein) 1/2 Sweet Potato (90 cal, 2g protein, 21g carbs) 80g Lactose Free Greek Yogurt Plantain Chips (75cal, .5g protein, 10g carbs) 2 date pieces Banana Bread (418cal, 4g protein, 28g carbs) x 2 Carob Brownie (214cal, 5g protein, 20carbs) 4oz Ground Beef (240cal, 21g protein) Total: 2370cal Let me tell you how sick I am of the same few foods recently. Im too tired to finish calculations

Chocolate Nurri (150 cal, 30g protein, 3g carbs) x2 Plantain Chips (150cal, 1g protein, 21g carbs) x2 2 handfuls of cassava chips (325 cal, 2.5g protein, 50carbs) 4oz ground beef (240cal, 21g protein) 1/2 sweet potato (90 cal, 2g protein, 21g carbs) 1/3C Lactose Free Yogurt Carob Brownies (214cal, 5g protein, 20carbs) x2 Total: 2013cal, 121g protein, 180 carbs

1/2 Sweet Potato (90 cal, 2g protein, 21g carbs) Blueberry Muffin Tops (92cal, 4g protein, 10g carbs) x 2 3/4 Choco Nurri (113 cal, 23g protein, 2.3g carbs) 2 handfuls of cassava chips (325 cal, 2.5g protein, 50carbs) 4oz ground beef (240cal, 21g protein) 1/2 sweet potato (90 cal, 2g protein, 21g carbs) 1/3C Lactose Free Yogurt Carob brownie w/ teaspoon of tigernut butter (276cal, 5g protein, 22carbs) 3oz ground beef (180 cal, 16g protein) Slices of New Banana Bread Recipe (418cal, 4g protein, 28g carbs) x2 Yammy Snack (180cal, 3g protein, 42g carbs) Total: Roughly 2500cal, roughly 71g protein, roughly 232g carbs Feelings as of 10pm: Honestly, I'm still hungry. I'm about to get my period and I can see how that + lack of protein has left me really hungry. It would be interesting to see how my macros go naturally along different parts of my cycle. I really love the Banana Bread recipe I whipped up but want to replace all the olive oil in it, and I wouldn't add the carob tigernut swirl again as it was unnecessary - OR id do it differently. The olive oil adds a little over 1200 calories to the loaf which seems unnecessary. Could literally have the same nutrition in 2 and a half slices instead of 1. I might try just adding another banana and some more water? Or cut the olive oil in half. Some people use applesauce but apples almost never sit right with me. I need to start keeping track of hydration since Zoloft through me off of my electrolyte game. I'm still on 1/2 deciding if I want to go off completely. Met with PCP today about switching back onto Wellbutrin after all this years - after my nose surgery, although I could technically start now but id rather wait. It slightly raises my Liver levels but makes everything else immaculate from mood, to focus, to libidio so I want to try it again (Even as Ace spectrum I was shocked how much Zoloft made desire nonexistent lmao) I'm gonna keep focusing on being kind to myself and moving my body. Todays the first day I've been a bit like oh no the calories! But that doesn't matter right now. What matters is continuing elimination for AIP, dealing with water retention, and finding meds that work for me IF I'm going to be on them at all.

Blueberry Muffin Tops (92cal, 4g protein, 10g carbs) x 2 Beef Broccoli Soup (300cal) (21g protein min) Chomps Beef Stick (100cal, 10g protein) Asian Chicken Salad (200cal, 34g protein, 2 gcarbs) Dressing (270cal, 8g carbs) Chocolate Nurri (150 cal, 30g protein, 3g carbs) Carob Brownies (214cal, 5g protein, 20carbs) x2 Need more + 1 more blueberry muffin top and 1 more Beef Broccoli Soup Total: 2024cal, 138g protein, 83g carbs Felt good today - did my b12 shot which means I need to take it easy the next two days but it was fucking almost 90 degrees here. Did a 2 mile walk and called it quits for heat lol.

Blueberry Muffin Tops (92cal, 4g protein, 10g carbs) x 2 4oz ground beef + 40g zucchini (240cal, 21g protein) Dill Lemon Yogurt Sauce ( 40cal, 6g protein, 2g carbs) Carob brownie (214cal, 5g protein, 20carbs) x2 Broccoli Beef Soup (???) Sweet Potato Pieces (240cal, 3g protein, 58 carbs) Without Soup Total: 1132cal TOO LOW With Soup on High end: 1462cal TOO LOW FOR ME Lordddddd.... I need a minimum of 1700-2000cal a day to lose weight and not put my damn body in starvation mode. Oh wait I'm more active now so Macro calculators say its 1900-2100. Adding in: Chomps Beef Stick (100cal, 10g protein) Chocolate Nurri (150 cal, 30g protein, 3g carbs) Total: 1712 cal, 84g protein (little higher bc of soup), 123g carbs + Walk in the park with babe Feeling: I feel overall good about activity levels and food. I have things that meet my goals, I'm curious how I'll continue to increase it as I start lifting again too. Right now I just do walks and moderate hikes. The switch to half my Zoloft is currently a lifesaver. I feel much better. I did have a reaction to nutritional yeast earlier on the zucchini and it made me nervous it was from the taper.

Carob Brownies (214cal, 5g protein, 20carbs) x2 Feeling: Haven't eaten enough today so Im gonna have more in a bit. I've exhausted myself doing chores today - mostly meal prepping. I made a huge amount of beef and broccoli soup, my beef sweet potato bowls, carob brownies, blueberry muffins, lemon dill yogurt sauce, zucchini chips, and i'm attempting to make blueberry lemon yogurt gummies which I will be trying in a moment. I switched to half a tab of zoloft today and felt IMMENSELY better. Iw as originally planning on doing this to taper off but I'm wondering if this might just be a better dose for me? Im unsure if it has to do with Zoloft's supposed 28 hour half life. Not being bloated to the point of looking pregnant made me feel better about myself + I could actual have the electrolytes I need for my Dysautonomia without an issue. I am feeling extra exhausted though = but I think it's time in cycle + i'm about due for my b12 injection. I look forward to continuing this journey and being glad im back in a place where I can mostly take care of myself.

Coconut Flour Pancake (142calories, 4.8g protein, 9 carbs) x3 Chocolate Nurri (150 cal, 30g protein, 3g carbs) Sweet Potato Pieces (240cal, 3g protein, 58 carbs) Chomps Stick (100cal, 10g protein, 0g carbs) Crispy Pear (50cal, 12g carbs) Beef Bowl (580cal, 42g of protein, 0carbs) Dill Lemon Yogurt Sauce ( 40cal, 6g protein, 2g carbs) Carob Brownies (214cal, 5g protein, 20carbs) x 2 Went on the first bike hike of the weekend and did A LOT. Roughly 2-3miles id say with elevation on top of one of the smaller mountains. I need to start wearing my fit bit again (my partner found it) because I can't probably gauge the macros I NEED. I know just looking at this list it's not nearly enough. This is solid when I do like a 15 minute walk - let alone hiking for hours. I might at least try to get in another Nurri and mark it before bed. Tomorrow is more mountains. Lets see how my body behaves with the new brace :)
