l-cantelope and chips and guacamole dip

s-an orange and some gouda cheese

d-salmon with pesto and green beans.



I will come back later to fill in or edit as reality creeps in!

had a little cantelope fest, better than chocolate ice cream, but too much! It was delicious, though. Otherwise a good day, not an Atkins day, but a healthy day.

I can live with that.

Here's my day Saturday:
Breakfast
ww smoothie

Snack
Atkins protein bar

Lunch
boca sausages
tabbouleh

Snack
soy butter on ry-crisp crackers

Dinner
salmon
salad

Snack
soy chips

SAT FOR ME WAS
B-3 HARD BOILED EGGS
L-sloppy joe with cheese
d-hot dogs with mayo
s- icecream

a litle higher on the carb level but still within a lmits of me. I will have to cut the icecream and decide on a lower carb choice that is cool for me or i will lose it!!


sunday who knows!! no food is on sale this week!!

this is the plan:

b-protein shake

l-BBQ-probably ribs and coleslaw
Can you tell I'm eating out today? And a little excited?

d- something light, maybe some salad with cold pesto salmon from last night on it.

Sue, I keep sugar free ice pops, and fudgesicles in the freezer. Sometimes it doesn't work and I eat DH's frozen yogurt, but 90% of the time, it does.

yesterday:

protein shake

6 shrimp and about 3/4 c caesar salad

veal with mushrooms and a little cream and some zucchini
1 crust from a slice of italian bread
3 bites of grand marnier mousse pie

[can you tell i had dinner with a friend last night? she ate most of the dessert, but let me taste it!!}

then i realized that i was having a REAL low protein day, and ended it with two more shrimp and an ounce of dill havarti and three saltines.

and about 95 oz of water!!!!! [crystal light, diet lemonade, decaf iced coffee.. you get the idea!]

and today, i've had a protein shake. i'll have to eat something or other for breakfast... and then and then and then???? ribs? pulled pork?? the possibilities are endless!!!!

and then a carb-free treat at veneiro's [yeah, right. and if you believe THAT one, i have a bridge to sell you!!!]

My plan for today is:
Breakfast: smoothie
Snack: Atkins protein bar
Lunch: egg white cheese omelet with vegetarian sausage
Snack: string cheese
Dinner: Japanese. Probably miso soup, edamame, some sushi and hibachi veggies with bean curd (tofu)
Snack: Soy butter on RyCrisp crackers

Here goes...........

I didn't do tooooo badly, altho the day isn't over yet!!!

b - the usual cheese omelet

l - at Texas BBQ: medium-hot chicken wings (shared!) and BBQ brisket........ yummmmmm
at Veniero's..... iced cappucino and tastes of Chocolate Mousse Cake and cheese cake........ but boyohboy... did I ever want more........

d - IF I get hungry again.... dh is having some guys over and barbequing, so he took out a couple of hamburgers for me.. that would be it......

it's not for me to say what anyone else had on their plates...... you'll just have to wait for them to tell you!!

I don't know what you're talking about. I had the chicken.


dottie

3 ribs. and LOOKED at the chicken on my plate. after all, i ate a whole wing, too!!!

That's my Sunday. I checked on FitDay.com and I had just over 2,000 calories, 70% fat, 3% carb and 27% protein. A bit high on the fat and a bit low on the carbs but close to my goals which are 1600 - 1900 calories, 65% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs.
