Bedtime~Life Long Cocktail

Today I had 3 hard boiled eggs. for breakfast

l-3/4 of 2 cans of tuna salad with cheese
dinner 2 chicken thighs BBQ and huge brocoli and cauliflower salad
s- 2 tbs of icecream (really i did not have more)

I can not remember what it was yesterday

I think b-2 soft boiled eggs
l-???
d/ bacon and eggs (bad day for choices) to much fat but oh well

a weird food day for me. not quite sure what happened...

today:

25 gram protein shake

3 mexican turkey slices rolled with 1/2 slice swiss cheese each.

1/4 c soybeans
1 bon bel cheddar cheese

2 oz chicken, 1 slice tomato, 4 olives. [didn't stay down]

1 bon bel cheddar cheese [that's right 2 in one day!!!] and 2 slices melba toast

1 oz beef jerky

1/2 c cottage cheese with 1/4 c fresh blueberries

2 oz ham and 2 small tiny slices fried eggplant

i THINK i can avoid the second shake because it looks like i'm in the 70 grams of protein range. i hope.

Today as a stress reliever after day one of the audit, I had a relaxation dinner. Not smart, but I sure do feel better. That will be my weekly splurge.

B Smoothie

L Ham and cream cheese rollup (3), nectarine and brie

S handful of nuts

D Mushroom and spinach quesadilla with a side of black beans and rice with spicy chicken. (not much rice though)

Currently I am trying to get in the last of the day's water. I am not doing too good in the water department!

Well, now that the day is over, I guess I can post my (ulp!! :o ) food for the day... I warn you, it's not a pretty picture for someone who is limiting to 20 carbs!

b - omelet w/lox & onions, cooked in butter

l - salad w/ 1can tuna, 1oz swiss cheese, ranch dressing

s - steaknmozzarella cheese w/onion&mushrooms, broc &caulifl

sn - homemade ice cream - 2 :o :o :o portions! :moo: :ink: :moo: :shrug: :fr: no willpower, I guess :mad:

Jiff, I don't think I have seen you cheat since I became active on the board!? Um, that didn't come out right. What I meant was that you always do so well, this ice cream was not bad!

Question
How would I make the egg mc nuthin

Where would I get nitrate free bacon.

I am still using up food I have on hand and will be ready to stick to the program .

Going to the dr's today to get the results of my blood test so I will know how I'm doing.

Trixie

sorry jennifer. i didn't have the ice cream. sue did, and i hope it was wonderful!!!

as for not cheating!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! haven't you noticed i don't post my food EVERY day?????

well, let me put this into a different perspective. the first time i had two peanut M&Ms [really, just two!!!] i panicked!!! and i confessed it to the surgeon who said "GET OVER IT!!!" as far as he was concerned, this wasn't cheating, just normal behavior. and as long as i didn't eat the whole bag or anything, i was doing just fine.

and i've had pretzels, potato chips, doritos, bites of pie and cake, godiva chocolate, french fries, and other stuff. but truly, why am i saying this stuff in the plural???? it's maybe 2 regular pretzels or 4 minis, 3 doritos or potato chips. or two french fries, or 1/4 of a piece of chocolate. and i've even had two small sips of wine [and i'm not supposed to drink for another 6 months!!!]

i'm not perfect. believe me. but it's all ok as long as i limit everything. the hardest part is keeping calm about these tiny treats. it's still hard to believe that i haven't screwed this up beyond all hope.

It was ME who ate the double portion of ice cream yesterday!!!:o :o

oh geezz. sam n rosies grandma... i saw that sue had actually eaten two whole tablespoons of ice cream... and you were eating the atkins ice cream, weren't you????

oh welll just call me senile...

as long as it was chocolate that's ok. one of the basic four food groups, ya know!!!!!

Trixie, the egg mc nuthins are just the insides, minus the muffins..
I didn't think about nitrates...is that just an Atkin's requirement, or is it also with other plans?

Today's menu started out good, then I got depressed:

B 2 egg mc nuthins

S nothing

L chicken salad-salad with ranch dressing

D chicken with jack, onions and mushrooms, rice, mixed veggies that included an ounce or two of potatoes, and some tortilla chips and salsa.

Today sucked and I took it out on my plate. It was ok until later in the day that I find out that a clique at work doesn't like me, basically...it is more accusing me of having favorites and of also have a 'list' of those I am out to get. That is so untrue, they just don't know! I am trying not to take it too hard cos 2 out of 3 have never been happy with any of their bosses, EVER. Still, it hurts because I genuinely liked them (well 2 of them anyway) and I thought they liked me. They just liked to talk about me. Yeah, this is my pity party...ignore me! I'm just way too senstitive for my own good.

Jennifer, there's an old "foreign language" ;) (I won't say which one!) expression that goes something like this:

F^&# 'Em if they can't take a joke - :shrug: :lol: :D

I gotta tell you that I have one great big "pet peeve" in this world and that is people who are two-faced! To me, there is nothing worse to be (except maybe a "user" of people, and of course, l've come across more than my share of those, too :( )

I'm so sorry that you were hurt by them, but when it crosses your mind, and it bothers you, feel free to use "the" expression! And also remember this: we here think you're pretty terrific! {hugs}

I was naughty last night too, has the rest of my strawberry cheesecake icecream, but only 1/2 cup..... your right thats not naughty but eating a huge lunch & dinner was so eating the rest of the ice cream only made me feel reallllly guilty.

For breakfast today: 1 nutragrain bar, coffeeeeeee

Lunch ?

Dinner - ?

Thats why I look like this ---> :dance:
