I've been very lax for a couple months now on my eating habits. I had been so good and had gotten down to nearly 190lbs. My blood sugar was under control and it was good. Then, I slowly re-introduced things at a moderate rate that quickly turned into eating more like I used to, not as bad but not as good as I had been. So, I decided that once the play was over I would get back to Virta.
For dinner tonight this plate is mostly Virta approved, the baked potato is not. I did give myself the smallest possible one in the bag and loaded it up with cheese, butter and sour cream for the fat content. I also prepared the baked potato alton Brown's way which made it really really tasty. Eva was so excited for a baked potato. The meat, however was perfect. This is a roast that I cut into quarters, browned, and then pressure cooked with beef broth, onion soup mix and onions for 1 hour. What came out was a very very tender and flavorful meat. Then there's the broccoli which is always Virta approved.
I'm trying to be better, not perfect. The things I am working on making sure I do daily are to test my blood sugar levels and Ketone levels daily. Document what I eat in the virta app and weigh myself daily. I bumped back up to 203lb. I can feel that my pants are tighter and want tog et them loosened up because I'd rather not buy new pants again.
