Fibromyalgia #78
 

Hi guys-thought I'd start a new thread. Hope it works. Did nothing yesterday except go to lunch-visit Brad's mom in the nursing home-she is very unhappy, which she is anyways, and take it easy at home. Got a great night's sleep and here we are again. I guess ypu need to do that once in a while. It's still kind of warm here but rainy. Need to finish another small quilt this week and my Christmas shopping. The Gaithers are going to be in Ft. Myers in Jan so we are going to that concert, WE love their music!!!Bye for now. Mima

Joanne........ I am just scared that I will be like my next door neighbor who has her 40 year old dry alcoholic son living with her. He got let out of jail early from a felony DWI and was home monitored. So he sits outside and smokes cigs, mows th lawn three times a week, was raking leaves in the wind last nite. I bet he is fun to live with....
Taking my son to the mall, torture for him. Hopefully we will see his friends and I will embarrass him.
Went to a China Buffet last nite and ate so much I actually hurt. Could not lay on my side in bed.....

Good day for me today. Did all sorts of things good for me. Hope it shows on scale. Synthroid seems to be helping with arthritis as well as other things.

Spent weekend babysitting and enjoying the grandkids. Daughter says Thanksgiving's at her house. She and DIL will cook. I have mixed emotions. I'd rather they come here. But this means I'll have less to do, doesn't it? I think it's time for me to let go of some more. I think partly she/they're doing it because they know we've had some problems lately and I think that's nice and mature of them (and what I always did for my parents). It's just strange being on the other side.

Joanne, of course you need to help daughter - hope all goes well. For both of you.

Going to a funeral in the morning. And then probably not do anything overly tiring as meeting friends for dinner. Have a good Tuesday, all.

Good morning
 

Glad the new thread worked-it didn't at first. I finished the quilt top yesterday-I ripped out more stuff that I sewed on backwards! Going to BJ's and somewhere else to try to finish my shopping-then wrap tomorrow -this is weird!!!!It's only Nov.-having the kids over for dinner Sun -early Thansgiving-cold almost gone-what a beaut it was. BRAD is ok so far-let's hope! Ally-my daughter used to be embarrassed if I said her name at teh mall-it doesn't take much. Chinese buffets are so addicting. I was pretty good yesterday. I only ate half as much for dinner.Progress. Hi to all Mima

Hey There
 

Ally- Mine moves out again about Thanksgiving. That is when his house closing is. I say keep hanging in there.
Mima.. The parents are never happy when their children visit them in the nursing home.. They want you to feel as guilty as possible. I was a charge nurse for 15 years in one. Believe me they are different when you aren't there. It is the best place for them when it is impossible to manage them at home. We had my MIL in the one I worked. What a misery. She was bad most of the time but worse when my hubby visited. We had to cut his visits because it was making him sick.
Anagram- You are a lucky person if you get out of cooking on the Holidays.. I have never been that lucky..Even when it is at someone elses house. I cook..I suggested going out a couple times and that was turned down. This family is spoiled.. I will probably do it for years to come..
Hello All..Joanne

Hey There
 

Meme- I hope those storms missed you???????????Joanne

I didn't know there was a new thread!!! Kept waiting to get an email and then decided something must be wrong since no one was posting so I decided to look and see...

The storms missed us...barely! The kids came over Sunday afternoon and we sat in the basement for a couple of hours until they passed. It was really bad in some places not far from here, though.

I'm so tired...cold still lingering. Hey, Mima...how'd you get rid of yours so fast??? :?:

No one has any Solganal! They've stopped making it...that's the stuff the gold shots I'm taking are made of. The nurse said I have enough left for a couple of more shots and then that's it! Should last me 'till a week before Christmas if I space them out every 4 weeks instead of every 3 like I've been taking them. I'm supposed to get one Thursday but I'm going to wait until next Thursday so they'll last a little longer! I really dread going back to 'pre-gold'! I couldn't raise either of my arms above my head before I started taking the shots!!! There are thousands of people taking the gold that this is going to effect!

Got all my presents wrapped that go to my moms..(will do the others when I get back after Thanksgiving) now I have to start trying on clothes to see what fits ok and start packing.

Hope to finish up the yard work today cause they say it is gonna get very cold!:)

Hi guys-glad you didn't get hit with storms Meme-I was thinking about you too. I got rid of my cold in 4 days-took zinc and zicam in my nose. But I am still sniffling but I feel good. Got a lot of my shopping done yesterday and am going to wrap today-weird-hubby is still trying to get jobs done before we leave next Thurs-have a lot of company coming Sun but not sure of weather. It's hard to give up the holidays Anagram-my daughter is upset because we are not going to be here Thanksgiving.Hi to all-Anne-where are you? I probably missed something. Mima

Good morning
 

Well, I hope you are all well. It is humid here - freezing rain! Makes my poor old bones hurt. Wish it would just snow as it is much drier then.

Candice and Mima - finished your Christmas shopping already! I haven't even given it much thought. Way to early for me. I like to be in the Christmas spirit before I start that.

Meme - How are you doing on Atkins? I can't seem to lose anymore weight. It is just standing still. I am so frustrated. Have still been on the Induction. I am going to get my thyroid tested again. I answer yes to so many questions on the chart, that it seems likely it is too low for me. My daughter works in the lab that does all the testing for this area. She told me that my thyroid test shows it is normal, but lower than she likes hers to be and she takes synthroid. I can't really tell the Dr. that she looked at my results. She did it for me. I do need to have a long talk with him about it, however.

Joanne - Got the boy back home, have you? That is always special. My son will be into his new house, hopefully before Christmas. It is coming along nicely.

Anagram - Hi. Hope you and your hubby are doing ok. It's a good thing to let the kids take over some of these holidays. My daughter does Christmas (although, I still have to help), but each year she does more and more, and she gets all the groceries. It is nice.

Lead-foot Freddie - I have never had a speeding ticket - certainly NOT because I don't deserve one. I also have a lead-foot, and I love speed.

Ally - my son used to want a ride to school, and then I had to drop him off a block from the school so nobody would see him:lol Kids are so funny! I used to do it sometimes, but I really enjoyed driving him right to the door:lol: He lived!

Everyone enjoy the day.

I didn't lose any last week but I was hungry all week and ate a little more. I'm doing better this week, though...staying on track, but I've upped my carbs to 30 (or more some days). I think I'm addicted to shrimp!

Ross is going through a rough spell right now. He was manic Sun, Mon, and yesterday but then last night he started to 'come down' and started crying...cried for a couple of hrs. before bedtime. I told my daughter I'd take him for the weekend if she wanted me to! He has an app. with a new Dr. (Woman) Tomorrow afternoon. I hope she can help him! This will make the 4th Dr. he's been to.

Hubby is out cyote hunting! :lol: We have a pack of them out behind our house somewhere...driving me crazy yapping at night!

My son has cleaned his room. I can only assume that someone from the school will be calling so I will just stay on the computer so I can't answer the phone.
How many of you use the treadmill? Just wondering what the average amount of walking is. I am tired (exhausted) after a mile.

Hey There
 

Ally- I used treadmill for years. Work yourself up to 3 miles per hour and stay on at least 45 min to an hour.. That's average
Meme -I know what you mean about cyotes.. Good luck
Joanne

Hi guys! Chiro and walking today and lunch!!!Anne-I won't be back til middle of December so I HAVE to have shopping done. I am working as soon as I get back from the cruise. I will only have 10 days after I work and we also have to put the kitchen back together. What a busy time but all is so good except that Brad is really pushing to get people straightened out before we leave. A week from today we will be on our way to the train station. We have a sleeper on thway down-anyone been on one of those. Bye for now-Mima

Hey There
 

I am off to see my daughter for the weekend..Catch you all on monday...Bye,Joanne

Got my freezer cleaned out so I can start baking soon! Also got my Christmas stuff ready to be mailed and my cards ordered..ususlaly have them adressed by now but the picture place was late this year getting their stuff.

Ally I go betwoeen 2.5 and 3.5...it varries and also do it at least 30 minutes and sometimes 45 but not everyday like I should. lately I have just been cleaning like crazy!!!!!!!!!!:D

Candice, you and I have something in common-with the shopping-I think I only have to work 2 days in Dec so I will have more time. Since we are going away right afetr Christmas-that's good. And I want to see my stepgrandaughter!!Storm coming-putting my armor on to go see my MIL. And grocery shopping-we are having early Thanksgiving Sun. Lasagna!!!!!!Bye for now!!!Mima

Gee...and I thought I was doing good but you guy are unreal! I'm going to Nashville the Friday and Sat. after Thanksgiving and doing most of my Christmas shopping then. I thought just kind of KNOWING what I was going to get and having made the reservations at my favorite hotel and set aside the time was doing great.. for me anyway... :lol: I'm a 'last minute' sort of gal. Besides...I have to wait a couple of weeks and 'get in the spirit'!... Also...a little snow helps me along! :dizzy:

I have my turkey in the freezer and my ham in the fridge for Thanksgiving. I ordered my Christmas cards and got them back already and they are engraved so all I have to do is the labels...which I already have most of in my label program. I've really got it together this year!!! :D

I'm NOT doing so good on my diet though. I'm at a stand still! I'll have Ross this weekend ... go get him in 2 hrs. and will have him until Sunday night. So...I'll probably wind up eating more than I should the next 2 or 3 days...he takes a lot out of me!

Meme-you are doing great-I am leaving in 5 days-here comes the snow and I was going to a church bazaar and bank this am-gotta go-we are waiting for a phone call-Mima

I have my treadmill at 3.4 miles per hour with the incine at 4.5. It is so weird that I can walk outside for an hour with the dogs but find myself ready to get off after 20 minutes on the treadmill.
Just cleaned my carpets and have the heat at about 80.
I have to do some shopping too. At least my kids are easy now that they are older.....$$$$$.
Just gotta save some of it!!!

I ate too much today...nerves! :( I feel bad. RAIN AND COLD!

I ate too much today too, Meme! And I had a great and busy day. Rainy and cold here too. Uck! on weather and food counts.

Happy and Joanne, I'm sort of glad dd is doing Thanksgiving but there's also the thought that I'm missing something or giving up something. And in some ways I know it's time. Just hate to admit it but glad she's thoughtful enough to want to do it. DIL will do the turkey though. So it's sort of a cooperative effort.

Candice - good job on the cleaning all the time. Send some of that bug my way.

Hi-just got the powere back on from 6:30 am and now I am doing the wash etc.-had to go out shopping to get warm. Had a great time yesterday with the company-ate too much-tomorrow I will get unstressed with massage, hair, and nails. Hope everyone is ok-what an ice storm-just warming up. Mima

Wow, Mima. Did the storm and lack of power set you back on getting ready? Or did you just go shopping and make good use of being out to get warm?

Dh saw kidney dr. today. He'll have another test done Thursday to try to further explore the abnormal "complex" cyst in one of them. Possibility of doing more damage but she feels it needs to be done to rule out (or find) cancer. Wed. he goes back to orthopod re knee. Saturday he needs more bloodwork. Four days in one week for medical stuff. Good thing we're retired.

Joanne, back from your daughter's yet?

Ally, how are things going with son?

Serenity, up to anything?

Happy, Meme hope you're back to your losing ways. How 'bout that new study re Atkins?\

Freddy, are you ok? And how are things going on your tests/second opinion and traffic school?

Candice, I'm waiting for your cleaning bug to hit me. Hurry up with it. You've had it long enough.

Synthroid is helping me some but awfully tired again tonight. Did some Christmas shopping today, might get some in tomorrow but I also want to go to the pool tomorrow. Twenty Four hours don't last as long as they used to.

VERY, VERY quiet thread lately.

Candice...by all means...send your cleaning bug to Anagram...and hopefully...she'll keep it!!! Don't want any more bugs around here for awhile and I'm too tired to clean.

I've finally stopped coughing at night. Just can't get caught up on my sleep! No matter how much I get, it's not enough. :tired: Having Ross all weekend didn't help!

I forgot to eat today until 2 p.m. and by then it was too late. I had to start dinner and then my grandson came to stay with me this afternoon plus I had to start teaching at 3 so I didn't have time to eat until 5:30...but just as I sat down to eat, grandson's mom came to get him and as she was leaving a couple came to see the trailer I have for rent...so I wound up not eating anything until 6:30 p.m. ... since 7 last night! :eek:

Mima...I've been cold for 3 days now and my power hasn't even been off!!! Just can't seem to get warm. My blood count has probably taken a dive again.

:wave: Hi to everyone else...hope you are all well and warm! :flame:

Hey There
 

I am back and I had a nice visit with my daughter and her family. My G/son was on leave. He is going back to his ship today. He is on the U.S.S.Harry S.Truman.( Aircraft carrier.) We all know where they are going the first week in Dec. Pray for them.
I got to give you girls credit...Shopping Done!!I wish I was done. My daughter put up her tree. Mainly because she wanted her son to see it and we gave him his early Christmas.
I read a piece in the paper today that stated that the Adkins diet was working for some people but the long term effects were not in. It said that the only tried and true wt. loss was from counting calories. I think WW and cutting back are good.
Since the weather change ,I have been hurting, I need to get back to my exercise. I have been lazy too long.
Hello to all.My plans for the Holidays are so far in the air I can't see them ,yet...Bye, Joanne

Haven't been on much the past while. Been having a lot of pain and I believe it may have something to do with Atkins. For the first month, I was doing really great - no pain. That was because I stopped eating sugar and junk. Still no cravings for them, which is great. For the past couple of weeks, I have been having a lot of pain. Did some reading and found out that the following cause inflammation in arthritis: Red meat, pork, eggs, tomatoes, - actually almost everything that we eat on Atkins. That may be why this pain is here. I just don't know what to do. Can't seem to lose anything anyway. Haven't really lost for the past couple of weeks and I have been really stuck on this diet. Still on the induction phase, so not eating many carbs. I just know ww didn't work, Atkins doesn't seem to work. At least the yeast is gone:lol: and I may have broken my addiction to sugar. I have also been sleeping so well, have not had a need for Amitriptlyn for almost 6 weeks. Hmmm, what to do, what to do!

I did go to the Dr. on Friday, and he gave me a 'water pill' because I seem to be retaining fluid. I did drop two pounds right off and my wrists and hands seem to hurt less. Also, had a thyroid test. Will call today and see if anything came back on that. Probably not. I think he needs to do the expanded test, instead of just the normal blood test - but try tell a Dr. what to do!

I am glad that you are all so far along with your shopping. I did pick up 4 little outfits for my grand daughter the other day. Really good sale on and she will use them. Also, got her a Barbie Puppy that she loves. It is fun to buy for the little ones again. It is the big ones that take up all the time!

I hope that all your hubbys tests come back ok, Anagram. It is a good thing you are retired - sounds like a full time job to me

:lol:

Joanne - glad you had a nice visit. I bet your grandson enjoyed having Christmas early - that was nice for him. This Iraq thing is not pleasant with the possibilites looming over ones head. I hope it never happens.

Meme - Glad you cough is going away some. Now, if we can just get you feeling better. Not eating is not the way to diet! Didn't you get a headache? I would have been sick by that time - shaking and all. I often forget to eat lunch until about 3:00 p.m., then I just have a half of an Atkins bar.

Mima - Time is drawing near. I sure hope that you have a wonderful trip.

Candice - When do you leave? I hope you are finished cleaning. If you are doing all this cleaning, what do you need a cleaning lady for? I have a cleaning husband:lol: He does all the vacuuming for me, but I do everything else. Oh yes, if he is around and I am going to scrub the floors, he will do that as well. I try to do all those things when he is at work - doesn't seem fair that he should have to do housework as well as his job, but hey, sometimes life isn't fair.

Everyone have a good day.

Our sever was having problems and I got of trying to get on hear!!!! They say the problem is fixed for now..we shall see!

I'm not sure I will make it through baking season this year!!!! I bought some cookies at the craft mall and ate all of them before I got them home! Those little spritz cookies..yummm..1 pt for 1 cookie..oh my...I have to do better. I had a ton of banked pts but not that many!

More cleaning Monday and I am still pooped..today is our 26th anniversay Dh wants to bring a meal home and I'm thinking Subway!

I'm having alot of anxiety right now and that helps me clean!

Happy send your cleaning DH to all of us we will share him!

Well I cleaned for the company but you would never know it. Had to empty the kitchen into living room-Had a great day yesterday -I am now blonde with red nails and toes and I had a massage. She really tried to help my sciatica. Then we went to the nursing home to see Brad's m,om so I can just pack today. It's all ready to put in suitcases. Getting excited but nervous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!When I eat dairy and wheat and tomato I get hurting. Hope everyone is well. I may not get achance to post tomprrow-we are leaving at 6:30 am. Gone for 13 days. Behave everyone!!!!!!!!!!Mima Freddie-hope you will have good news-you too Anagram. Be good Ally!!!!Be healthy Meme Anne Candice Joanne!!!Mima

Hey There
 

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY CANDICE!!!26 years! That is GREAT...Now you only have 23 more to catch up with me.. December 26 will be 49 for me.. I like Subway too.. But let him bring a FANCY dinner home..
Happy- I read that piece on the nightshade veggies. It makes sence. We eat most of those things in our effort to lose wt. I gained 3 lbs this weekend. I was trying to be so good yesterday.I failed!!New start today... I hardly got any sleep last night. I think I might have to get an injection in my shoulder again.. No wonder it is so hard for me to lose..I need to be like Meme and just forget to eat..
Have any of you heard of the Memory foam mattress pads? My daughter bought 2 of them .One for her bed and one for her camper.My son-in-law and daughter swear by them. My sister tried one at a friends house and said it was the first time she got up without pain. I might get one. They are on the net for 165+ tax. Anything is worth trying ,if ,I can get out of bed in the A.M. and feel like I had a night of rest.
Anagram- We will have to get Happy to get her hubby to send some vibes our way. My hubby needs a few. I think he might have pushed a vacumn 5 times in his life. The men from the "old school" are spoiled.
Got to get busy...Bye...Joanne

Re: Hey There
 

Joanne, you'll have to have that surgery soon so you can kick up your heels on your 50th next year

Mima, I'm sure your and Brad are having a great time on that vacation. Hope you enjoy every minute.

What did you have for your anniversary meal, Candice?

Hope you're all set for a good weekend. It's been so rainy and gloomy here and I'm achy, of course. Son said he'd be up today to "hang out" and that will be a treat. He'll be leaving in the a.m.

Dh had kidney test yesterday - now it's the wait for the results. I'd like to know soon for all the obvious reasons and also because if we must cancel FL, best to do so before 12/1 so don't have to pay for January.

Have some gifts bought, started Christmas cards. Will stay at daughter's through Friday so they can do Christmas stuff and come home that evening. Then go down again the second weekend in Dec. so she and her dh can go out to celebrate her 40th bd. Dec. filling up already. SIL is putting a tape together as a surprise for her bd so I've been going around taping relatives wishing her a happy one. I think the way things are going I am very happy she's doing Thanksgiving. So far she only wants me to bring a pasta salad that she likes (which I'm sure no one else will eat on TH but that's ok too).

Getting hungry - lunchtime~never miss a meal.:ink:

I supervise a team of social workers and we all could stand to lose a few pounds, but our motto is that we are the unit that will never miss a meal.
Some people actually work thru their lunch.
If I did that I would just eat twice as much dinner.
I got a pop up ad that says I can wear a diet patch.....
It would have to put me to sleep.
Although, I haven't gained any weight. My body must be at that place that it likes to be...
Wait'll my body sees Christmas Cookies and tomorrow I am making that dill bread dip for a party....
Starting to snow here in NY...
Gonna go watch TV

Hey There
 

Anagram- I was at dr's yesterday- He has for some reasons decided I should not think about havong surgery untill i have no other option. He may be right. I told him I am vcery limited. He said take the darvocet. My daughter was not a happy camper. She said tell him "I don't want a junkie for a mother" I am going to get back into my walking routine and if it gets worse he will have to do something. I don't feel good not doing what I am used to. My brain cells are going to die at this rate..I am having headaches every day etc. I need the activity..
Hello all...Joanne

Hi
 

I know Mima is away, but has Candice left yet? I hope she is ok.

Meme - are you ok ? I know you have been busy looking after grandkids and fighting the flu. I hope you are feeling better.

Anagram - Glad the Thanksgiving dinner is being prepared by someone else. I think it is time to turn it over to younger, more energetic people. Save our energy for what we enjoy doing most:lol: EATING!!!! I hope things come out alright for your hubby.

Joanne - This Dr. can't make up his mind or what? I know they don't LIKE to do knee surgery, but if you need it, you need it. I guess, try walking, very carefully, and see how it goes. You know surgery is always an option.

Ally - I think you are just kind of happy right where you are, so don't sweat it! If you feel good and are comfortable, then don't stress about it, because then you just want to eat more. I think it is better to remain a constant weight than to yoyo all over the place. Have fun at the party.

I know Mima will be having a great time. Wish it was me:lol:

It has been incredibly beautiful weather here for this time of year. We now have NO snow left and it has been up in the 50-60's. That sure does shorten up the winter when it is like this. The problem is, it will be like year, and we will have winter in March/April and a really hot/crappy summer again. Either steaming hot or really cold. We broke all kinds of records this year for March/April/June/July/Aug./Sep. and now November.

I guess we are heading to my daughters for the weekend. Talk to you on Monday. Have a nice weekend.

Have a good time at daughter's, Happy.

Joanne, you may be past the point where it would help but have you heard of the spacer they can put in some knees now to postpone the replacement? Nurse in dr.s office had one done this year and is very happy with it. My BIL tried it but when they got in to do it, he was past the point where it would help and had the replacement done (his second, too).

I think the one thing that is often forgotten in the equation is the "quality of life". It gets so depressing not to be able to do so many things. I'm so happy to be walking again. Did a nice walk this afternoon when the sun peeked out for a few minutes.

Ally, sounds like my kind of group. How's son doing?

DS is here for the evening so I'll check in later.

Hey There
 

Ally- Anagram-- I think what the whole thing comes down to is the Humana Gold Plus (hmo) is giving kickbacks to Dr's to keep people from having surgery. Once he says I need it and now he says he doesn't believe in knee repacements. He wants to keep injecting it. I am going to get by the best I can for awhile and start living my life as I want. If it gets too bad he will be forced to give me the referal. He already said if I went to the ortho surgeon he would do the surgery. I didn't intend to do anything untill after the first of the year anyhow. My daughter comes first.
The main thing for me is not to gain weight now..

Have a Great weekend..Joanne

Happy Canuck, when i was on atkins diet i lost 15lbs in the first 2 weeks but then it started to affecting my kidneys i think atkins is good for the 2 weeks but after that u can't let ur body just eat protein and when i added carbs i stopped losing ....be careful on it ok..ww isnt working for me too i like to eat too much and can't get head strong like i was 5 months ago i don't know what to do either it is like a vicious circle isn't it..i really want to lose some weight as i have now gained back 5lbs of the 20 i lost and i am so upset with myself..i have NO willpower....

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. Frustration is what is happening. When you try your best, and you can't lose, it seems like it just isn't worth it - it is! Keep on with the diet. Eventually things will right themselves - I hope. Part of it is our age, and the other part is medications. I think you said you were 50 something? I am 56 and meds don't help. That is how I gained in the first place - taking anti-inflammatories. Sure don't know what it will take, but I think we had just better both keep trying. Chin up - have a good weekend and then lets get started again:lol:

:) u r so sweet thanks for the pep talk i was just atkins low carb recipes wondering if i should start his diet again for the next 2 weeks to jump start my ww diet what do u think of that? i would like ur opinion..
plus i am cooking thanksgiving dinner this coming week and wondering how am i not going to taste things as i am making them boy i worry so much no wonder i am stressed out and feel like eating:lol:

Well, I have been on Atkins for 6 weeks - still on the Induction - and I feel really good on it. I am losing inches, bit by bit. Thanksgiving is a challenge. I am Canadian, and we had our Thanksgiving in October - just a week into starting the Atkins Diet. I had a turkey, dressing, sweetpotaotes,carrots,and turnip, and mashed pototes with gravey. I, personally, had turkey, brusselsprouts,salad and was content. I made a really nice dessert just for me (cream cheese, whipping cream, diet jello) really good and I didn't feel deprived at all. It's not that I can't stick to the diet, it is that the weight sticks to me:lol: It's like it is welded on. I feel a lot better not eating carbs, as I am able to control my blood sugar of insulin levels and I don't get the big swings in fatigue that is connected with Fibromyalgia. If I can keep it level, I feel a little more energetic.

You can do it if you want, or you can just give yourself permission to enjoy the regular Thanksgiving dinner. If that is the case, I wouldn't start Atkins until AFTER Thanksgiving.

Another thing I found, because I had been on ww, was that when I counted the points I ate on Atkins, I was actually BELOW the ww points for the day, but I wasn't the least bit hungry. If I was, I just got a piece of cheese or a pepperoni stick and munched away. Atkins is easy as far as cooking goes to. Not much fuss that is for sure.

This was having 2 eggs and 2 pieces Canadian bacon for breakfast, Tuna salad for lunch, and meat and 2 cups salad and 1 cup veggies for supper.
