Hi Everyone,

Just starting up for this week. I hope many of you will join us here on the Food Journal as we travel our individual paths to good health and hopefully, THIN. All food programs are welcome.

Be back to post in a minute.

Gosh, I guess I'm not perfect, kind of screwed up this weeks heading.

Well, yesterday was a really good one for me - back onplan. I do Atkins Low Carb because it seems to be the only thing that makes me feel good and works for me.

Saturday, Feb. 3rd

Breakfast - 2 scrambled eggs

Lunch - in a rush, so just had an Atkins Advantage Bar. They are filling and come in handy once in awhile.

Snack - a piece of Brie

Dinner - grilled burger with cheese, brussel sprouts with a tiny bit of butter and a small salad with Blue cheese dressing.

Snack - a few pork rinds, half a leftover burger.

I feel so much better today. So far am having a really good one and hope you are too. Will post later. Love, G
