Good luck with calorie counting cw!
The creeping crud DH and I have had since the Holidays continue . . . deep deep cough now.
Thera-Flu had been helping but when I went on Induction I remembered that they are full of sugar - I'm taking Hubs "cold and cough pills for people who have high blood pressure" cuz that's the only type med in the house that I know has no carbs.
They're really not helping lol
Went down a little bit more this morning and into "new numbers" w00t!
Switched to tuna today, been overdoing the eggs and red meat I think. I stocked up on protein shake mix (the kind with 3gram total carb) cuz with the changing hours, my body won't know when breakfast etc is and a lot of times I'll just need a swig of the shake for energy.
I love that when I "do Atkins" I can really start listening to my body and actually have a clue to when I'm actually HUNGRY or when I'm FULL. I know it sounds ludicrous, but on any other "diet" I'm either mindlessly stuffing myself or starving, ya know? I have noticed over the years that when on this high protein/fat, I actually have a tendency to not eat at all so think the shake will come in handy at those 4 hour intervals. Tonight we had some seasoned sliced chicken seared in a lil butter and olive oil with some similarly seared turnip slices with about a half cup of spinach. I could only take a few bites of each item and have packed the rest for whatever time I think lunch is tomorrow nite . . . starting at noon and won't get off til 11pm. The "real nite shift starts Monday, when we'll start at 5:30pm.
Well rho, hope you got some rest after your bad night?
And that the weather straightened out for you anabee.
