LCHF=low carbohydrate, high fat

For no particular reason I kept track of my food and beverage intake today:

Lemon juice and water (heated one minute in the microwave)

1 boiled egg (breakfast)

2 hamburger patties w/cheese and ketchup (lunch)

1/2 oz. mixed nuts (afternoon snack)

2 brats w/ketchup (dinner)

5 Diet Cokes

1 bottle of water

It’s my kind of diet because you never have to be hungry.  I don’t count calories.  For me at least, it is not how much I eat (within reason) but what I eat.  Hence, none of the high carb foods I crave and miss but pretty much anything else I’ll put into my mouth.

The walking helps me avoid temptation.  I see chocolate or cake and think is it really worth sacrificing three hours worth of walking?

Dig those crazy 8’s!

I haven’t been on the scales since I returned from the Philippines.  I drank a shit load of San Miguel Light beers and wasn’t as strict on the carb avoidance.  Hey, it was a vacation!  Plus, I didn’t get the opportunity to walk as much as I’m used to doing.  I’ll wait until this Sunday to, ahem, weigh the damage.

Still, folks tell me they can see the difference.

January pre-diet. (that’s me on the left).

And last week. Both of the elephants have gotten smaller…

Since I shaved the ‘stache a couple of folks say I resemble Bruce Willis…

…which I’m not sure is such a compliment…

…but anyway, I’m just not seeing it.

Meanwhile, I got screwed yesterday. And not in the good way. In fact, the whole experience left me feeling a little flat. Luckily I made it to the repair shop before I had to break out the spare tire.

Fortunately, the tire was only flat on the bottom…

Given my temper tantrums in the Philippines, I had to laugh when I saw this on Facebook today:

Hey, anything worth doing is worth doing well…

But here’s one Filipina I do not want to piss off…

Maria, armed and dangerous…

But enough about me…
