I hope everyone had a great 4th of July and weekend! Mine was pretty good, however, the holidays make it SO HARD to eat healthy! My mom made homemade Chex Mix (my absolute FAVORITE) as well as 4th of July Snickerdoodles (with red and blue sprinkles). Honestly, just a nightmare. At one point I asked my mom how many calories she thought the Chex Mix was and she replied, "130 calories for a 1/4 cup", and I just about died, since I had definitely had about 2 cups at least.
I was up a bit at the beginning of the week, however, I just weighed in today at 176.4, so I am back to my ALMOST 10 pounds lost. My goal for this week is to get there by Sunday! It should be much easier now that the holiday and festivities are over.
My 11-12g of protein a day is going okay. I've really been ignoring the temptations, which is the key to everything. Yesterday at work they had make your own deli sandwiches, and I wanted one with veggies and cheese so badly but I can't have bread anymore so I was good and got my usual salad. It was hard and it has been hard, but I'm doing well!
Also adding to my compliance PKU wise is the fact that my husband and I decided that we are going to start trying to get pregnant at the beginning of 2014, which is just 5 short months away. By then, I'm going to need to be drinking 4 supplements a day vs three, and really making sure my levels are controlled at least 3 months prior to conception, which means around September of this year. Thinking about all of this makes adherence easier for me.
I've started using the vegan cheese that I bought a few weeks ago. It is Diaya brand, and they come in cheddar, mozzerella, and pepperjack shreds. The cheddar is a little strong, but the other two are good, especially the mozzarella! They also melt well, which other low-pro cheeses don't so that is nice. They are not as good as real cheese by any means, but they're still good enough to satisfy times when I want cheese.
I think that is all for today! Have a great week everyone!
