So I guess I’m having trouble with motivation and doing the dishes, and Atkins really requires more of a cleaning commitment then I am ready for. SO, I’m going to try to eat smaller low carby meals 4-5 times a day. 6:30, 11:00, 3:00, 7:00. This works really well with my work schedule, but we’ll see how it goes starting tomorrow. This is kinda a mix of many diets. I’m still avoiding any refined carbs, but eating a lot more fruits and veggies and less meat and cheese. I think this is really better for me as a Mormon as well since we’re not supposed to eat too much meat and I think eating meat at every meal borders on too much. I’ll mix cold water with protein powder and drink that 15-25 minutes before meal times.
Meal plan for the rest of the week:
Wednesday
Breakfast Banana, 4 oz of plain yogurt with sugar free strawberry jam, 2 eggs scrambled with salsa
Lunch Raw broccoli with ranch dressing, frozen meal (saving money with this one)
Snack Banana, baby carrots with ranch dressing
Dinner Raw broccoli, canned soup (again saving money), hummus and celery
Thursday
Breakfast Banana, 4 oz of plain yogurt with sugar free strawberry jam, 2 eggs scrambled with salsa
Lunch Raw broccoli, Low carb meatloaf-esque entree, sugar free jello
Snack Banana, celery and hummus, slice of cheese
Dinner Raw broccoli, Grilled fish with avocado salsa, jello
Friday
Breakfast Banana, 4 oz of plain yogurt with sugar free strawberry jam, 2 eggs scrambled with salsa
Lunch Raw broccoli, Low carb meatloaf-esque entree, sugar free jello
Snack Banana, celery and hummus, slice of cheese
Dinner Raw broccoli, Grilled fish with avocado salsa, jello
So my Grocery list for this evening is:
1 small avocado
celery
fresh broccoli
hummus
bananas
baby carrots
Pre-packaged sugar free jello
Yay, I’ve found a way to start a new diet and use most of my current food supply. Shall I call it my stash like with my fabric? lol
Which reminds me, I’m going to actually make a costume for Halloween this year. I’m thinking about being a renaissance Little Red Riding Hood. Essentially, its the ren-fair bodice and attached skirt in red with a red cape and a white dress beneath. I like it and if I make the bodice stiff enough, it will hold me in. 
On the bright side, I’ve made my Luna happier by taking her on a lot more walks this past week. I haven’t made it to everyday, but I have been thinking about it. I’ll have to take her on a short one tonight though since I really need to be focusing on sewing my costumes. My goal for this evening is to pick up the groceries and go to Lowes since the boning for the bodice is going to be that plastic stuff that holds bales of wood together. They just throw it away, but its so much cheaper and stiff while still being bendy then the stuff you buy at the sewing stores. I made my last ren fest costume with it and it worked wonderfully, but I can’t find that one and it was black rather than red, so it would’t work with this, but maybe I should actually look for it. Can ya’ll see my stream on consciousness there. lol.
So tonight: groceries, getting boning and some storage boxes if not too expensive, cutting out patterns, prepare hamburger caserole, do dishes, take Luna for a walk, do laundry :whew:
Let me think out tomorrow too: Cut out bodice and over skirt and sew skirt and most of bodice, take Luna for walk, cook soup for dinner, prepare avocado salsa so it can mix overnight,
That means that for Thursday: Pick up final fabric selections for under-dress and cape, work on Bodice some more, cut out under-dress, Luna walk and have fish with salsa for dinner
So Friday: Complete bodice and sew under-dress, cut out cape, make shrimp, Luna walk
Saturday: I’m driving down to see Ann and need to make good food choices on the drive, NO GREASY FOOD. So I’ll eat breakfast before the trip and eat only one meal during the drive….
