Day 154: Something different at trivia
Weight loss: 29 1/2 pounds
Back to the old grind…Monday started with yogurt. For lunch, I was going to eat a leftover KFC breast* [please see this comment], but Brandon was running across the street for some KFC for himself, and he grabbed me a fresh, hot one. It was quite delicious. (Which is odd, since I never particularly cared for fried chicken. Perhaps the keto regimen has made me crave fat and skin now? LOL)
I ate some almonds for a snack.
Dinner was at trivia. Instead of the usual grilled chicken salad, I ordered fajitas. I asked in advance for the rice, tortillas, and beans to be put in a to-go container. My trivia team mate, Dave, ate the tortilla chips and salsa that came with the meal.
All in all, it’s getting easier and easier to adhere to this plan. It’s pretty much a life style now.
A KFC original recipe fried breast is actually 11 grams of carbs. Not a huge amount, but a lot when you’re restricting to less than 20, and definitely more than 4 :)(without breading or skin it’s only 2!!)
Yes! Thank you. I just found this out from my son two days ago and didn’t post about it yet. His fiance looked up the carbs incorrectly. No more KFC original breasts for me! The grilled chicken is by far the better option.
Unfortunately for Brandon, he was eating them two at a time. LOL. You live and learn.
Thanks for your comment. I should probably put a disclaimer on each post that mentioned the KFC, in case some one just reads that post and doesn’t check before eating one.
Hi Kate I have a question for you.
I lost 25 pounds off keto and before I was consistently losing 1-2 pounds..but now I keep maintaining.
What should I do, to get the ball rolling again for my weight loss? And do u find that u lack energy before work outs? Cuz I find I have to force myself and I feel so tired to work out.
I just wanted to tell u what I’m eating and get your feedback on it. Do you think I’m eating too little maybe?
I eat
3-4 eggs a day
3 peanut butter spoon before work out
A handful of raw almonds
Lean chicken breast
Salmon, tilapia, cod fish, 2 slices OR a handful of lean ground beef
A bowl of spinach with olive oil or a bowl of celery
Crystal light – water- diet coke – green tea- black coffee
I feel so hopeless. I have friends who eat things that I can’t..cuz the diet forbids it.. like fruit or smoothies for example..and they are losing weight faster than I am.
What do you suggest I do?
For exercise I go for 45 min power walk/jog and I’ll do the victoria secret fat blast work out or tiffany rothe workouts online on youtube. Or I’ll go to the gym and use the strength training machines, weights and elliptical for an hour and a half.
Generally 4-6 times a week.
If you can offer any critique or help it’d be much appreciative, thanks!!
