So my goal is to weight 160 lbs by September 30 and I realized that my birthday is October 5. So I think my goal is extended to October 5. So I will lose 18 lbs by my birthday and for the present both me and my sister ( a different one, the mother of my adorable nephew whose birthday is 2 days before mine) will have a girly afternoon and get out nails done. I was going to be down there with her anyway since my nephew is in a costume contest in the Rice Festival. He won the crawling contest last year and since his Dad’s family has all been track stars, I reckon he’ll win many more races before long. 
I just took Luna on a walk around the neighbrhood, such fun, and dinner was the porkchops, creamed spinach, and a salad I didn’t each much of because the Ranch dressing tasted weird, very mayonaisish and its Kraft brand buttermilk ranch.
BTW: For anyone else doing Atkins, these are some of my favorite sites:
- http://genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html
- Many wonderful recipes, one of the best collections I’ve seen and a great way to keep it interesting.
- http://www.sugarfreesheila.com/InductionCookbook.html
- Very encouraging. Has the woman’s story, many pictures, and some recipes.
- http://www.lowcarbluxury.com
- The first low carb site I found. Publishes an e-newsletter, has many articles on low carbing it, and has some great recipes.
- http://www.amazon.com
- Low carb stuff is less popular, so if you want the pre-made stuff and some low carb treats and stuff, Amazon can be a great place to get it.
- http://www.netrition.com
- Another great online store. Good variety and prices.
Okay, so these are some of my fav sites. If anyone knows any better ones, let me know.

Yey !! Someone else doing Atkins!! Another great site is http://www.dlife.com
Its for diabetics so I always feel a bit guilty about looking into their recipes but they have an awesome mayonaise based chicken salad thats like 2 carbs. Its posted as 4.. but I found alternerative brands that were a lot less in carboyhydrates.
I love Atkins. I like the food and don’t mind so much not eating the rest since my favorite foods are cheese and meat. The only reason I go off plan is laziness. It’s just easier to eat whatever and not do the dishes and not cook. Bummer. Oh yeah, and the holidays, I always derail at the holidays, but for now, my goal is to reach my goal weight by January :fingers crossed: and my reward when i hit it will be a vacation in Mexico if I have a real job(I’d better) and after remaining on goal for a year, I get a cruise. Such fun…
Yum, chicken salad sounds good. I tried the creamy jello recipe from genaw.com and loved it. I think that may be my new favorite site for recipes.
