Not much to report tonight. Two good calorie days in a row now, thank God. I took a rest day from the gym. I was going to post a pic of some tuna salad I made the other day. The nutritionist looked at my food sheet and told me I'm not eating near enough complex carbs. I told him I eat a ton of veggies, does that count? He said no, veggies are mostly water anyway....he said complex carbs as in beans, rice, pasta, baked potatoes. I told him I cut almost all of that stuff out of my diet a long time ago to get my diabetes under control. And it worked. I came off of all my meds. He said it sounds like I'm trying to do the Atkins Diet and proceeded to smugly tell me that Dr. Atkins is dead, lol. He said I need at least 300g of complex carbs a day and that if I don't get enough I'll screw up my pancreas. Complex carb intake is directly related to your pancreas? Who knew?
Fine. Whatever. So I made some tuna salad with some whole wheat rotini in it. I threw in some diced cucumbers and tomatoes to sneak a couple of veggies in, as well as some chopped onion and dill pickle, and mixed it up with some lite mayo. I'm also posting a pic of the socks Leslie knitted and mailed to me. She mentioned wanting to see me wearing them, so Leslie, this is for you. :)
