Well...I made it to day 4. I was REALLY good the first 2 days because I was off work and at home so I had the time to really think about what I needed to eat without stressing about it. Yesterday, not only did I have to work, but I found out that I had to pick up something on the way TO work for my bosses engagement party!! (Eeek!) I also had to halp set up the room we were having the party in AND set out ALL THE FOOD!!! *bites nails* It was a pot luck so everyone brought in their most 'famous' DELICIOUS dishes!!! *sweats* You should have seen it!! It was literally a smorsgasboard of delicious NON ATKINS SOUTHERN FOOD ( the BEST kind
)I was thinking to myself ..."I am being punished for something right now." LOL!!! Well...if the casseroles and breads and southern cooked BBQ and sweet potatos and such weren't bad enough.....here came the cakes and pies and cookies!! *faints* IT WAS A NIGHTMARE for someone like ME who is pretty much ADDICTED to sugar! You can imagine the smells of all the food swirling in the air! I tell ya, it was almost as good as ....*pauses*....well maybe not as good as THAT! LOL!!! Anyway......y'all (yeah that's redneck for YOU ALL...lol) would be SO PROUD of ME
Guess what I ate........
I had.....a plate of salad with a tiny bit of ranch dressing and 3 little (sandwich size) pieces of ham. It was So0o0o0o hard watching everyone eat all the delicious food that I couldn't have but I made it through it. You see, I started this new WOL AFTER the holidays because I KNEW how hard it would be beforehand since EVERYONE around me likes to celebrate with none other than......FOOD!!! Well you know what they say about this time of year.....if you're 'dieting' and you can make it through THE BIG 4 (Turkeyday, Christmas, New Years and Valentines Day~ *cringes!*)without blowing it, you are well on your way toward a healthier you!
Anyway, at my bosses party, I ran across a divine salad that I had a tiny taste of because I wasn't sure what was in it. I asked for the recipe and I believe it's 'legal'..and LET ME TELL YOU...IT ROCKED !!!! You may have even heard of this one.........*drum roll* .........SEVEN LAYER SALAD !!!!
7-LAYER SALAD
Use a BIG bowl and layer the follwing ( in order) from bottom to top:
1-head iceberg lettuce, chopped
4/5 stalks of celery, chopped
1 red (purple, whichever YOU call it) onion, chopped
1-small bag of frozen peas
'Seal' top with about 2 cups of mayo
Sprinkle with enough shredded cheddar cheese to cover top
Finish off with REAL bacon crumbled on top ( you CAN use bacon bit- but WHY!!?)
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or several hours..lol..I made some this morning)
MMmmMMMmmmMMmmmM~~~Hope this is legal or else I'll have to give it away...*eeeeek*
Let me know what ya think! *smiles* AND...wish me luck for another day on INDUCTION!!!
