Went to work yesterday prepared for an 8hr day...had made a cheese omelet that I was going to warm for lunch...brought along my green tea to drink and I was ready for another day of fighting off this illness that has been lingering in the area.
I had received a black and pink scrub set for a Christmas present and had received compliments on it the few times I wore it and I just felt exceptionally full of energy and decided to wear the cute scrub set that day since my mood was great...
As the hours progress the great mood turned a vicious 360 degree turn...
I was not only fighting illness.. I was fighting with the scrub bottoms due to the dang on ties needed readjusting constantly, I had to keep retying them so they would stay up..
then to add to my aggravation my D.O.N. had notified me that my replacement was ill and unable to come in so my 8 hr day was now going to be a 16 hr day...
Panic came over me at that point... I hadn't prepared for this.. and I had eaten my omelet for lunch..the food serve at the nursing center is laden with carbs
..its mostly comfort type food..
Well as I continued to become more annoyed with the day..my stupid scrub bottoms were driving me crazy and now I had to continue to work in them another 8 hrs and I didn't have anything to eat for energy...I was cycling downward...
I did some research on the computer and found out that Mcdonalds offered a bacon and grilled chicken salad that was only 9 carbs
so I decided to go over during my break and get that for dinner ...
I do have my own salad dressing so that was a save for me...
I had also decided with all the aggravation today I would order me a large diet coke too.. I was set...one problem solved.
As I was enjoying my meal later that evening behind the nursing station sitting quietly..exhausted and all had calmed down ... I was staring into space.. like a dear looking into some headlights... it had hit me... the light came on in my head ...the stupid scrub pants were falling down and needed readjusting because my body was changing.
I'm a huge advocate for measuring yourself.. I have several sensitivities to some foods, so weighing on a scale to me is less accurate...I know of this because of my recent studies when weighing myself...
I had been weighing on and off daily and I had come to the conclusion that anything with sodium in it..my the numbers would go up..then drastically drop the next day... I also do put salt on top of my fat bombs..it can also cause a reaction...so I measure daily and the inches are dropping faster than the lbs registered on the scale .... to me that's just fine.
My scrubs were needing the readjusting because I was loosing inches and my love handles ...(extra weight gained in the hips) had disappeared ...no love handles, your pants have nothing to adhere to lol...
Now don't fret .. this girl has many nursing scrubs and the elastic waist ones were about to reappear..
I hadn't been wearing them because the weight I had gained over the holidays had made the elastic in the waist area.. well, it had been making monster truck tire marks on my skin...not fun at all.. and not attractive either.
Anyway.. my dear friends Im off today and the weekend, I had been out doing some shopping ..decided that I'm going green today even if its not my weight number yet.
I had purchased lots of green veggies..arrived home... prepped them and put them away...
My digital food scale arrived yesterday..my erythritol sweetner and isopure no carb cookies and cream protein powder arrived today..Im going to make some fat bombs later..yummy.
Plus during my shopping spree I had purchased some MCT oil..its going in my bullet proof coffee...
I have cleaned off a shelf in one of my cabinets just for my keto needs...
I don't believe in ridding the household of everything...
I have a pantry just full of snacks and things not acceptable in living this keto lifestyle..to me its about control.. and it doesn't bother me that these items are in the house.
my new keto shelf is.. The Top Shelf.. and you know that the top shelf is the best they say;)
