But now that I'm still getting over it and am able to eat I better try. So for breakfast I made a mock danish. People, this is another thing that you think will be gross, but if you have an open mind, and realize you can't have the real thing, it is pretty good.
- 2 oz cream cheese softened (you can nuke it a few seconds)
- 1 egg
- about 2 packets of splenda
- a little vanilla
- cinnamon
I get my cream cheese really creamy before I add in my egg because it's a little hard to mix up completely especially if the egg is cold. But lots of people like it that way because it gets pockets of cream cheese to bite into. Then mix in all the other ingredients. Just mix to your desired consistancy. Then all you do is put it in a bowl (or leave it in the bowl you mixed it in) and microwave for about 2 minutes maybe up to 20 seconds longer. You can either just eat it out of the bowl you cooked it in, or flip it out onto another plate, like I did for the picture. I added just a little bit of sugar free syrup. I think it has about 4 carbs. I first saw this on youtube from the user bowulf. I saw another user irisdaflower add a little maple flavoring then divide the batter into 2 small bowls then after they were done put a piece of sausage between the 2 to make them like McDonalds Mcgriddles. I think I'm going to try that. It would still only have 4 carbs because sausage should have 0.
Lunch consisted of 2 of my oopsie roll bread and a slice of deli ham, with a little bit of real mayo, a nice little sandwich that was pretty good. And of course my sprite 0. I posted the recipe and pic for the oopsie rolls yesterday. The recipe comes from the internet by somebody named Cleochatra. It's a version of Atkins Revolution Rolls. The original recipe says you can make 6 rolls out of it for .09 grams of carbs each. Since I flatten them down & try to make them look more like a piece of bread, I get at least 8 of them. So I'll say that mine are 1/2 carb each. I used 2 so that was 1 carb. My Walmart cooked ham was 0 carbs and my "real" mayo was 0. My sprite 0 had 0 carbs so my lunch total was 1 carb.
Many of you know that I had signed up for a photography class at EKU in Richmond KY tonight. We didn't have school today in Laurel County but at EKU theirs were just a 2 hour delay. But no word on the night classes. This class was going to be from 6 to 9. Didn't know what to do, I didn't want to leave Darrell if he was going to be as sick as I had been. But he said that since I had already paid for it, I should go, that he'd be ok.
I came a little bit early to see Whitney before class, she has a night class too at 6. So we went to grab something to eat at KFC. This is great if you have to eat out. Ready for this? Their new grilled chicken has 0 carbs!!!! I wasn't really hungry so I had one thigh and their green beans. The beans have 7grams of carbs with 3 grams of fiber for a net total of 4. So my running total for the day so far is 8.
It was a very good class. There were only 6 of us that showed up though. Class didn't get done till 9:30. We talked a lot, can you believe it? Anyway Darrell told me I shouldn't drive home in the dark, you can't tell if any spots on the road may be slick. And besides I can spend the day with Whitney tomorrow. Whitney & Carly's dorm doesn't allow overnight guests during the week, so I got a room at an EKU discount rate at the Jameson Inn. Very nice room.
I got thinking about only having 8 carbs today. The only thing that conserns me about not getting enough carbs is because I'm diabetic and I forgot my bloodsugar monitor at home. Concerned about getting too low to quick before I know it. So I thought I'd get Wendy's cheeseburger to eat without the bun and instead of fries a small chili. I brought it to the room, ate the burger without the bun 6 net carbs, and took 2 bites of the chili. It dawned on me I don't know how much carbs are in the chili. I was picking out the beans but I thought I better check it out anyway. A small chili is 22 flippng carbs. Luckily I only took 2 bites, but I don't know how many carbs to count for that for my total for the day. The burger brought me up to 14 the chili could have sent me over my induction limit, but I'm going to try not to worry about it.
I'm trying to be sensible about this like Dr. Douglas told me to do. I'm not just eating meat. I'm trying to eat several different types of vegetables and in another week or so I will start adding in some low sugar fruits.
Hope everyone else is doing well, & I will post again tomorrow.
