week 1 - OWL done

[v-sly]

and no loss...I know - be patient. One good thing I've noticed since upping my veggies is no constipation which is huge. It's amazing how something like that can ruin a perfectly good day. I'm anxious to move on to the grain rung because I really like the low-carb tortillas. I know that's a way off but it's kind of like a reward to look forward too. Nuts scare me although I love almond butter and can seem to eat it in moderation whereas nuts seem to be more difficult to control portion-wise. I introduced eggplant as my new veggie and had no problems. I made a good moussaka with eggplant, gound beef, mozzarella, etc. It was yummy. I'm not a huge dairy person so I'm contimplating skipping the dairy rung - although I might like to try cooking with ricotta so maybe I'll give that some more thought. Ok, that's all from here - except that my bowflex is to arrive next week so soon I'll have the lovely ache of sore muscles. I love that feeling. My version of masochism I suppose.

good for you I hope you added your recipe to the recipe data base so every one can enjoy eggplant more. Kepp adding more veggies and get your vits and minerals a little more variety and your tastebuds too.

Hang in there we don't always lose weight on a weekly bases.

You do know your body is going to superhydrate from the new workload on those muscles causing a scale upward movement? It will release the fluid as soon as it realizes you are actually nor under attack and that is the new everyday load expexted of those muscles.

Happy low carbing.
