Did ANYONE manage to stay OnPlan this weekend! Ok here goes my confessions. Friday for my bday I ate (breakfast) chicken nuggets, fries, donut (lunch) pizza and another donut (dinner) culvers sourdough patty melt, fries, onion rings and cheese nuggest - I didn't finish it all of course.. but I topped it off with a chocolate shake. whew.. Saturday I was much better and only had a small popcorn at the moves.
Sunday I stayed low carb but ate way to much of it and today its back to induction
So that pretty much wrapped my weekend up, did some cleaning and lazying around, nothing special. Now however I need to get my butt out and walk to the bank before it rains. Will check in laters
I tried to start on Friday and I stayed low carb day except for one Miller Lite and two Mich Ultra beers that night. I knew better, so I decided I'd "really" start on Saturday. I stayed low carb the rest of the weekend, even resisted beer and my favorite jalopeno Kruncher potato chips while we were grilling Monday.
the worst part was this morning when a guy in the office brought in 2 dozen Krispy Kremes and a bag of Oreos! I haven't caved yet, I'm so proud of myself. I just keep drinking my water whenever I think about it.
So, Ellis, since you've had both Mich Ultra and Miller Lite, which do you like better? Being the resident lush around here, I've tried it all and love to hear other opinions.
I'm totally with you on the Miller Lite. It's pretty dang good. I tend to stick with the hard stuff now because it's 0 carb as long as it's not flavored. I've recently become very fond of putting some SF DaVinci syrup in a shaker with some ice and vodka so I can have carb-free flavored martini's.
yeah, that's what I'm thinking too... stick with the rum and Diet Coke or dirty martini's.
I like your idea for the flavored martini... as soon as these two long weeks are up, i'll try that!
Bunna - I forgot to ask you, how is Red Robin not low carb friendly? I eat there all the time! LC ideas for Red Robin:
* Bunless burger and a salad instead of fries (ask for no tortilla strips)
* Ensenada Chicken platter - again no tortilla strips
* Crispy chicken salad, substitute grilled chicken
With the salads, ask for your dressing on the side. Dip your fork into the dressing and then stab some salad. Plenty of flavor without the risk of going overboard on the dressing carbs.
I've always eaten my salads that way- dipping the fork first. It's the best way to cut calories and carbs plus, you get more salad flavor instead drowned lettuce.
I haven't been cutting carbs long enough to know yet, Love, but it sure will be fun to buzz quick again! I haven't done that since high school.
Oh, Love, big time! There are times I'm done for after only 2 or 3 drinks now. On the other hand, I can do tequila shots like a champ now. They make me really dizzy for about 10 minutes and then I'm back to normal. How strange is that?
Yep, one dirty martini does it for me now. I love the taste though and always want more. 2 is definite trouble. Inhibitions fly out the window at that point. It always seems fun at the moment, but I always wake up the next morning wondering if I acted stupid. Hate that feeling.
T.G. - I just read on another post that you are doing a digestive track cleanser. How does it work? I've wondered about that in the past. Does it boost your immune system? Pills or liquid?
Hi Love, it is pills I got it at GNC, my sis who is also on Atkins was at a stall and was told by another Atkins person to rty that and it worked, it cleansed the colon and digestive tract, doctors recc you clean out your colon to prevent colon cancer so i thought I would try it. The kit was 24.99 at GNC it is called Zand quick cleanse kit and has 2 treatments in it, your are supossed to do it every 6 months, you do it for 7 days each time.
(** WARNING really gross don't read unless you want to**)......
My sis did it last time and (this is gross) things she knew she hadn't eaten in months (like corn, etc) came out when she cleansed, so think of all that crap that is just sitting around in there!!! YUCKYYYY!!! Plus she lost 5 pounds just from doing it.
Star, it's like you and I are the same person. I am reminded every day by my friends about something I've done... even though they are all 7 states away now!
Dude, I love tequila shots. It's like I was born to toss back the Tequila.
T.G., thanks for the info. On the subject of gross...is it one of those treatments where you should be at home for a few days/not to far from a private restroom?
