What Did You Eat Today?

Forgive me Atkins for I hath sinned, lol. 

I had a beer yesterday. 

And the night before I went to the Kent Heritage Festival here in Kent, Ohio and I saw a gyro vendor. I explained my diet to them and they agreed to give me a plate of extra meat (for an extra price) with no pita bread. I still had the tzatziki sauce and a few diced tomatoes on it. 

I believe gyro loaf, even the big log that rotates on a spit, actually has some breading in it. Between the gyro Saturday and the can of beer Sunday, I am up from 177 to 180. 

Whenever I see 180 this is what goes on in my head, lol....

Your sins are forgiven. I've had Gyros in the Kent area, also a festival, maybe the same, some 10 years back or so? That was good Gyros and I've been to Greece.

I remembered to put mini waffle maker on a list, then remembered to take it with me. So tonight I had two burgers from my neighbors cow. Egg and porkrinds. Next I'll try it with cheese. 

Messy, dripping with butter. Just like I like.

I spent some time working in Athens. Gyros were a staple of my diet.

Things have been a little hectic for me lately but I still managed to find time to eat.
Venison burger, beef cutlet and bacon.

Typical breakfast of eggs, sausage, and cheese...

 

And then dinner later that night, taco seasoned beef with a couple eggs over top...

This was yesterday and I’m sure I’ll be eating them again today.

2 medium rare beef steaks drowned in grass fed Irish butter we some Celtic sea salt sprinked on top with some steak seasoning (pepper, coriander and a few other things).

Threw some rosemary in towards the end of cooking

Been sort of boring the last few days. I cooked leg quarters and pork chops on the grill the other night. From then it has mostly been leftovers.

My son is doing a prime rib roast today so when I get off work there should be a 'honkin' slab' waiting for me.

One 1/4# burger patty. Some American cheese. Plus two breakfast sausage pucks. That was lunch.

Dinner was 3 1/4 pounders with American cheese, Dill pickle relish, stone ground Dijon. Garden cukes. And because I was dishing it out...

Spoiler

About 1/8 cup of orange & cream ice cream. Basically as much as a soup spoon will hold without making a total mess.

I had 6 quarter inch thick slices of smoked pork belly and four eggs.  Just smoked, no brine or seasonings. 

And a cup of regular coffee. Have since dipped into the bag of coffee beans that I've had since before I went caffeine free.  Can't bear to think they'll go to waste. Haven't really noticed any difference much. Maybe because I don't make it very strong.

The thing I noticed about adding regular coffee is that my muscles in my thighs ache. They feel tight and sore for no reason.  I used to be oversensitive to light pressure and would perceive it as painful, but that has gone away for me since switching to decaf.

I had this last night.

Old guy told me that a half-ass veterinarian could have saved this cow.

Started out with 4 oz leftover steak. Some cheese.

Tinned fish

Dinner was pork butt "ribs" a small steak, cucumber and watermelon.  So tempted to dip into those

Graham crackers 

right now, but I got busy doing somethings to distract me. This is one of them. Time to fold more laundry in the cool basement. It's hot here in the house.

Mozzarella cheese slices in the daytime.  Ground beef with melted mozzarella for dinner, and organic whole milk plain Greek yogurt, with raw green stevia, a bit later. Have been buying the Country Natural Beef Butchers Blend beef patties from Whole foods.  So good!!

Been outta pocket here lately. Just too much going on but I did manage to wolf down a ribeye yesterday and just pulled a roast chicken out of the oven.

Do not give in. Do not give up!

 

Last night I had friend bologna sandwhiches on Egg Life wraps with some Primal Kitchen mayo and a few banana peppers - which to me, count as a seasoning

They got me last night. My husband brought home beer and it's so hot here. So I had one or two of those. And then judgement and self-control are out the window and another half sleeve of GC are missing.

Don't beat yourself up too badly, Miranda. I don't know what GC is. I do know not all is lost.

I still haven't quit nuts, but I did quit all dairy today.  Was causing a lot of bloating, and digestive stagnation.

Alcohol temptation would never be a problem for me, as I had to give it up about 36 years ago, due to severe alcoholism. I have a liver issue, and it would literally kill me to drink again.

GC are graham crackers. I did get  punishment the next morning with a bout of IBS, I don't know if it was the beer or the leftover meat I had at lunch. It had been in the fridge for several days. I will be declining any future dos equis.

I decided to start tracking my macros midway through the day yesterday. I am curious to know how much protein I am getting because I have been feeling low energy lately and watched a Lillie Kane video recommendation to track for a week to gauge it. Didn't get enough protein today. Need more beef.
