What did you eat today? 09/08
B: Coffee w/Half & Half (2 carbs)
S: Atkin's shake (1 carb)
L: Sausage & Peppers (7 carbs w/all the peppers and tomato sauce)
S: 2 Cheese sticks (1 carb)
S: A few mini quiches (0 carbs)
D: No idea - Meat and Veggies, though. (under 5 carbs)
Carbs: Around 15, depending on the veggie I eat for dinner.
You absolutely KNOW I'm a sausage and pepper ho too... but (you knew there'd be a but).. I don't make sauce anymore and I no longer put sauce on anything (since I don't make it). I have a jar in the freezer in the event of a serious sauce emergency... but I haven't used it!
I make sausage and peppers with onions and several cut up roma tomatoes w/garlic, oregano, basil and parsley and topped with a combo of asiago, romano and parmesan instead of mozarella. Oh yea.. haven't tasted ricotta in a year either. Trade up cooked down sauce for tomatoes.. no?
I swear.. I'm putting my friggin' foot through this computer today... Let's try THIS one again!
b. 1 egg with 1/2 serving of oscar meyer shaved ham
L. same thing
D. I dunno.. I got some ground beef (real fatty stuff.. 80/20) and peppers and gagootz and tomatoes and garlic and oregano and basil.. let's just see what happens with that!
exercise: oMG.. only 45 minutes on the treadmill and I felt like dying. I'm DEFINITELY deconditioned!
CW 206.4 but I expect a slight fluid up this week... That's way too much to fast unless it was all fluid to begin with.
I'm really sensitive to sauce for some reason. I won't lose. I used to make a pot of sauce every Sunday with peeled tomatoes, garlic, peppers, onion and spices. I really believe that cooking it down for 6 hours makes some sort of chemical change in those tomatoes! It's not as bad if I just use whole tomatoes and dice 'em (leave the skin on too), but lately I notice that I'm even sensitive to those as well. Basics babycakes... I'd shoot for as natural as you can get.... THEN add in things. I know Atkins is really strict at the beginning.. but you can get a really good idea of what you're sensitive to if you strip it way down and add as you go.. no?
PS... don't have to be no stinkin' sugar.. lol Carbs = sugar It goes in as a carb.... turns into glucose while it's there. While your liver will turn protein to glucose in the absence of carbs, it's going to be just what your organs need.. no excess.
eh.. anything is worth a shot.. no?
It took me a while to figure out the right amount of points for today. WW increased their points since the last time I was on it! I always have a hard time eating it all (for a while). Think that's one of my downfalls, I always go lower on points. I'm going to work on eating all of my points this time.

S: string cheese and yogurt
L: tons of romaine with can of tuna mixed with two tbsp rf sour cream and dill, banana
S: homemade latte-1% organic milk

Exercise will also help you in SO many other ways, stress, toning, etc. You don't have to become a machine, but trying to get to 15 minutes most days isquite do-able.
