    109 - 17 = 92
    35 carbs came from sugar, the rest were healthy foods and snacks. Tomorrow I'll do better with my carb choices.

    I did not log my foods over the weekend but I was spot on the whole time... Even yesterday after having a few too many shots of whiskey and my buddy brought out a big hero, I just ate the meat and not the bread.

    Congrats! That is a huge accomplishment. I wish I could say the same for myself. I keep struggling over the weekend and there is really no excuse. As usual, I am back on track today and hoping that I can make these changes more sustainable. You made a comment in your previous post about not trying to fit things in that don't follow the diet. I think, for me, that may be the key to this whole thing.

    Total 47
    Net 24

    Those numbers seem high to me, I had a big bowl of sauteed spinach with dinner last night and that counts for 18 Total carbs but only 3 net.

    Had a good workout last night, little heavier lifts for a couple less reps per set but more sets. Tonight I will get some cardio in, i think the plan is HIIT on the elliptical. We will see what the evening brings.

    6/12

    Total: 47
    Net: 34

    I ate a bunch of nuts (almonds and pistachios ) which were higher carb, but also a reasonable amount of fiber. I need to focus on upping my veggies and meat. I find myself eating too much fruit and nuts, and not enough veggies and meats, do that will be a focus for me the rest of the week.

    I found the Planters Spanish Red Skin Peanuts are 1g net carb per serving compared to all other nuts. They are now a huge part of my snack routine. Planters Party Peanuts are also very good - you get a lot of quantity per serving for not a lot of carbs. Just an FYI in case you're looking to save a few net grams here or there.

    I didn't track over the weekend and I know I was way over on carbs those days. We were out of town and that seems to mess me up almost everytime. I am back on track as of yesterday and am hoping I can stay that way.

    I had a good day yesterday, I was tempted to skip the gym and actually for all counts in my head I was going to but I had an MFP friend give me an extra push so I went and got my HIIT elliptical session in. Hopefully I see it help out with the results tonight on the scale. Tonight I am lifting and am very happy that the heat wave is snapping, the gym has been HOT

    Weekends are hard. Your numbers for Monday and Tuesday look good so at least you are back on track :)
