Good Tuesday Morning-Ugh! I got up early this morning to take my walk and it is raining. It seems like all around me there is no rain, but just this one little spot where I live. Well, guess I will just have to wait it out.
Lost 2.5 pounds last week on the SBD so guess I will stay on it for a little bit longer--I just don't think I could do 20 carbs a day on Atkins, and as long as I lose I guess that is all that matters. Since I started, I have averaged about 2 1/3 lbs a week and I guess that isn't too bad, but I hoped to lose a little faster.
How are the rest of you ladies doing?
Sandy: Hope you find a job you really want soon.

Sorry, Caci, I haven't been holding up my end of this thread. I'm afraid I've been on a bit of a carb bender. It's like somebody else is making my food choices even though I know I can only blame myself. Today I stopped at a corner grocery to buy milk and picked up three chocolate bars. I ate all three of them within an hour...and these weren't the low sugar kind either...they were the read thing. I also went out for lunch with my sis today and had chow mein...lots of noodles...so I think I'm losing MY noodle.
Anyhow, tomorrow back on SBD. I just can't stand myself this way. I feel bloated and gassy and tired and...well, you know. So, don't give up on me. I will continue to check out this thread. It would help if you would write out your menus. Maybe that will give me a kickstart.

Hi Linda, Hope you are back on track again. I know how tempting all those carbs are and they just seem to be calling. I am a carb addict and am really afraid almost to put anything in my mouth that has very many carbs. I think the hardest thing for me is when I dish out ice cream at night for my dh and pets, who each just get a tablespoon, but it is so tempting just to take a spoonful for myself, but so far I have resisted.
I really don't have too much of a menu plan. I try to eat some type of eggs in the morning, usually an omlet with canadian bacon, and then for lunch a large green salad, and for dinner I have a piece of protein (meat or fish) another salad and a vegetable, and for snack I have sf jello and a tbls (sometimes more) of cool whip. I really enjoyed the nuts allowed, but seem to have problems stopping at the allotted amount. There are quite a few websites around that have some good low-carb recipes. 3FC has a group on yahoo that features low-carb recipes and they give a lot of good ideas although quite a few of them are for Atkins and use butter and cream, but you can usually substitute for those. Hope this helps and I wish you lots of luck and please keep us informed on how you are doing. Caci
