When I said I was still tracking macros the other day, I should clarify. I'm tracking protein and trying to stay lower carb without diving into intentional low carb. Definitely not keto, but I find I'm insulin sensitive (family history of diabetes so it helps to monitor this), and I tend to feel better when I'm not maxing out my carb count for the day.
What that ends up looking like is low carb for lunch (I intermittent fast) and then I eat what I am cooking the family for dinner.
You might look at this, and if you followed along in the past, think "She's gone mad!" Especially after all the years of Keto and Paleo. I use to be super strict all the time, but with the kids getting older and not really desiring to be stick thin anymore... there's more wiggle room. So healthier versions of things, organic when I can, higher protein always.
Stick thin would be super nice if it didn't also involve being extremely regimented in my diet and working out to level I do not possess the time for these days. The kids homework, housework, and dinner alone take up too much of my time and leave no room for the Emily I knew 10 years ago.
This is a lot of blubbering to tell you we are having grilled pork chops for dinner Thursday.
So healthy, not hungry. Exercising, not insanity.
