Also, I adjusted my activity level from "very" to "light". As it turns out, "very" is like a professional athlete or a trainer or someone who basically works out 8 hours a day. "Moderate" would be someone who has a pretty demanding job. Like a farmer maybe. Or roofer. The livestrong.com folks said "child care" was a "light" activity level. That change decreased my caloric intake recommendation from 1,700ish to 1,100ish.
So, yesterday I did quite awful with the carb eating and activity level changing. 1,654 calories ingested. In the Red.
BUT today has been and will continue to be better. I invented a new food. I call it Lettuce Taco Perfectimundo. That Chipotle taco last night was so tasty and I couldn't bear to profane such elegance bu just dumping the contents out of the evil carbohydrate infused holding apparatus (taco shell) and spooning 'em in. Thus, I ate them, soft, flour shell and all.
Then, as I was sauteing some peppers and onions and chicken and ham, I thought, "This would be tasty as a sandwich. Or with rice. Or in sauce on pasta. Sigh. Maybe a salad. Sigh." (Gimme a break, it was raining today so I had been trapped inside for 5 hours with dozens of small crazy people. You'd sigh, too.)
As I pulled out the Romain Lettuce head, those wonderful fluffy leaves inspired me. I gently set three big leaves on my plate. Then dumped the contents of the frying pan onto to the side. I carefully spooned a bit of happiness into each leaf, rolled it up, and TADAAH!! Lettuce Taco Perfectimundo.I am a super genius.

I have a feeling this innovation will lead to Lettuce Sandwich Glory and Lettuce Rolls of Simple Joy.
It's crunchy; it's handy; it's ROMAIN LETTUCE saving weirdos who wanna eat.
Weighed in a a steady 144.0. Felt very temped by the chocolate and candy isle at Wal-mart.
