Thanks Rennie! (Sorry... insecure newbie thoughts...)

Had an okay day: an open-faced breakfast sandwich with 1 slice rye bread (80 cal, 14 carb); unfortunately no lunch; lots of water; and shredded pork taco salad for dinner. Oh, and one glass red wine. Long tough day at work. All in all, not a bad day. Have to think of an OP low carb/low cal recipe for the weekend for my book.

Steph no worries we're in this together

new low today ... hope tomorrow is even better basically ate the way I did yesterday, but today added a bag of popcorn shared with my daughter

Rennieyou are doing great!
Sumand Sunlover sometimes life just happens and our good intentions fly right out the window!

I intend to do better and break the 153 standstill! I'm just grateful, I'm not going up!

Have a good day tomorrow!
Nite!

Happy Friday Everyone

Thanks Cindi, good to see you You've hit a plateau? How long have you been at 153?

Another low since the 163 stuck I am still sleep deprived and it's my fault I really must go to bed earlier. I would probably see 162 had I got 2.5 more hours of sleep. argh ...

I will post my meals later. My son is making eggs. I had a taste for a western omelet this morning and don't have all that I need to make it. Oh well

I forgot to check in yesterday.

The day before I had an awesome OP day, both food and exercise wise... yesterday was another story; I did horrid. I guess it was my "up" day.

Back OP.

I did not weigh in this morning. 140 seems so far away now I doubt I'll achieve it by the 31st. That means I either stayed the same for the month or had a small gain. I must do better.

These non OP days just kill my progress. I should learn to have one cheat day per week and that's it.

Plan is to eat OP, but I already ate a ton of almonds that are off plan. The coated kind I can not have those in the house. For the rest of the day I have salad planned for lunch and tilapia for dinner.

I will lift weights, power walk and swim today to offset my stumblings.

I can not change the past, now I can just focus on eating OP.

LOL Sum, I am that way with the coated cashews the regular kind I eat ¼ of a cup, the coated kind I probably eat a cup or more. Thank goodness I can only find them here at Target and we don't have a Target around here The good thing is that the nuts are a good fat so that's a plus and they are way better for you than cashews and peanuts

Okay, back on track! Down 1+ lb from before I fell off the wagon, (so down about 2.5 lbs this week) to 177. Yeah! Good to feel somewhat in control again, but it is the weekend and I need to come up with at least one new recipe. It is my goal to have at least 1-2 new recipes a week and most I think of at the moment are delicious, but not OP. Oh well, will think more tomorrow on it. Am exhausted and in kind of a bad mood from a bad day at work.

Good day tomorrow everyone!

Steph great job on the pound down and even greater on 2.5 for the week way to go Sorry about your day

Rennie, I read the first page of this thread from Jan and nothing after until this last page so you probably already found them but just in case, I saw the Atkins frozen meals at my Walmart in N Raleigh yesterday.

Thanks Shannon, I've found them. Which ones do you like? I had to add season to the crustless pot pie. I tried another one but I can't remember which one it was but it wasn't that great. I'm kind of sticking to the shakes and sometimes the bars. I like the Walmart in Morrisville and the one in Brier Creek. They one in Cary is only grocery and pharmacy and I have found a ton of hard to find things in that one.

Happy Saturday Morning Everyone

slow and steady see you all later

I've had a good day so far . I went to a church gathering this morning had a chicken biscuit from Chik-Fil-A (I brought the biscuit home ate the chicken), and I had a bowl of fruit. Then the boys wanted to go to the gym so I got to burn the chicken off on the treadmill 2 miles and a mile on the elliptical, burn total 365. I had a low carb protein shake at the gym and a few pieces of chicken from last night a few minutes ago.

Hope you all are doing well also

I am a newbie to this forum. Y'all have been discussing Atkins dinners, and I LOVE the Beef Merlot!! I eat it with a spoon to get every drop!

Hi Sassee, and to the thread I think that may have tried that one does it have broccoli? I had one that has broccoli in it

Yes, it does have broccoli! I like the crust less pot pie also!
