Re: How Long Can You Go???

Christine it could be a mixture of the salt in the skins and the heat for the feeling of puffiness. Yeah, if you know its time to move on embrace it and Congrats on moving to the next rung!! I agree with you that keeping the majority of carbs for veggies will ensure success!! And no you weren't rambling .

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Leah I'm having scrambled eggs with cheese for dinner and some veggies along with some ground turkey meat. I'm too simple when it comes to cooking, and the odd thing about it is that I can really cook, I just think of cooking like a chore/event like a Holiday. I also love to fix one dish meals. If anyone has any induction friendly one-dish meals, shoot them my way please.

Happy Sunday!

Hum...I've been snacky too lately, but Aunt Flo came to visit this moring (a little earlier than scheduled) so that may account for it.

Whew! Another week down! Thank goodness! Tomorrow I am moving up to Rung 1 - Veggies. I look forward to the additional carbs and foods.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

I'm a one-dish meal kinda girl myself these days. I love to cook too, and when I was married I did a lot of good cooking. But now that it's just me I stick to the simple things, especially since I started Atkins.

Dolphin, have you tried the bacon cheeseburger quiche? OMG, it's wonderful! Crustless, induction legal and it reheats great.

And I like the scrapbook idea....I think we should do it!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Do you want to do an "online" scrapbook here and just make it a thread? Or is it a personal thing we make at home?

[cristylp]

Re: How Long Can You Go???

It would be more fun if it's something here online, like a thread that we can share. It would be inspiration for all of us then.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

What about the scrapbook? I will start one and see how I like it.

Hey, if you start one here online would you consider naming it something like, "How Long Can You Go Scrapbook" or something like that so I know how to find it and that it is related to our cheat free challenge...? (Or I guess it doesn't have to tie in for that matter...)

Anyway, if you do make one online, please let us know how to find it. Thanks! It was a good idea!!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Today has been one of those eating days that I've had nightmares about. I haven't cheated (thank goodness!) but I didn't eat breakfast, there was too much going on. We went out to eat for lunch and besides it being over an hour and a half before we got our food, EVERYTHING I ordered was wrong!!! The steak was completely well done instead of medium, the shrimp was done in the seasonings I asked them not to put on and there were only 10 instead of 15 (hey, if I'm paying an extra two bucks for it, it better be there!) and the waitress didn't bring us a straw, much less a refill. That's just what was wrong with my stuff too...not counting the three things that were wrong with hubby's meal. Grrrr. They're usually so much better than that!

So anyways, I'm just trying to get myself back on track and have a salad or something as a snack so I can get some more veggies in. I don't want to toss a decent sized salad on top of cauliflower and broccoli with dinner.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Kat that's a good idea doing it online. Okay girls let's get ready to scrapbook and let's be creative with the scraps (I'm challenged software wise in this area). We can laugh, hope and dream even cry together all the while.
The title sounds great, I'll add in a lil bit: How Long Can You Go?? Our Thinspiration Scrapbook.
Here;s the link: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...149#post460149
We will all contribute. I'll start it here in Challenges so that it'll be easy to find.

Cristy thanks for the recipe, I started a spreadsheet to keep my Induction recipes and this was the first one!

Christine, I lose my patience with waitresses like that but everything happens for a reason, and make sure you eat some fatty protein with the veggies so you won't get cravings on fiberous carbs alone. Stay encouraged.

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Hey Guys! I got my 2 week blinkie today! Woohoo!

Hey Kkat...Good luck with rung 1. I think it's about time for me to move up. I've been on extended induction for awhile now. My weight loss has been really slow though and I'm scared to move up. Let us know how you do.

Christine...ugghh...it's so frustrating to get a bad waitress. I ate at Friday's today and didn't have much luck with mine either. She did manage to get our stuff right but was so slow about everything. When I do get a good server I make sure to tip them well!

Anyway, hope everyone has a great cheat-free week!

Re: How Long Can You Go???

Day eleven for me and doing good. No weight loss in a few days but I have been so bad about water, and I have got to get the water intake up. I always lose better when I drink a lot of water.
Just a few more days and I get my two week blinkie, can't wait !!!
