Re: OWLERS "Stepping Back" thread
Greetings, Everyone
I feel like I've hardly been on the board today. Really busy and didn't budget my time right - I hate when I'm cooking my dinner at 9:00 at night.
I am so full right now!
I, too, want to continue recording my daily information here for as long as everyone/anyone wants to. I know that being accountable here has prompted me to eat, when I may have skipped food otherwise... like tonight. I could have easily finished the day with crappy numbers on everything.
I have gone back and forth over whether I want to incorporate a shake into my daily menu. While I am by no means a 100% purist when it comes to Atkins, you may have noticed that I can be a bit rigid with it.
I try to do everything as fresh and whole as possible. So, having a shake is really going against my nature, in a way. On the other hand, at least I can honestly say that I don't believe that having it will lead me into eating other frankenfoods. I have no desire for them. The shakes really do satisfy me without causing cravings. And even if I decide not to have one everyday, I would like to be able to fall back on one in an emergency. So, while I do feel a pang of guilt for even considering them, I am going to go ahead and have one 3 times this week. We will see if I can pull off another 2 pound loss. If not, I will put them away until Maintenance.
Food for today:
Breakfast - Atkins Chocolate Royale Shake
Lunch - MUP with almonds
Snack - 1 serving of sugar snap peas
Dinner - Fresh tilapia filets sauteed in butter in a skillet on the stove; 12 ounces of fresh green beans and 2 cups of mushrooms sauteed/fried together in butter and oil.
