Wow. Three days of technical atkins - switched over from fat flush, and I've lost 3 pounds. I've been drinking a gallon of water per day and exercising thirty minutes every day - even did weights on tuesday - although just one rep of about 10. I use this site for recipes - found a great one for eggplant pizza. The thing about atkins is I can get burnt out on the meat and eggs. So I try to avoid that by making my dinners different, although breakfasts have been mainly soy pattie with coffee and cream, although yesterday morning i had a three egg white, one yolk omelette (only cuz i don't like the yolks) with cream cheese, fresh dill and lox in it). For lunch I usually a romaine salad with 2 T each of feta, cucumbers and litehouse garlic caesar. Man, it is so good. i wish i could throw some gyros meat on it, because it kind of reminds me of that...or tomato, but since I know i'm sposed to avoid tomato for awhile, even if i did put a T of unsalted tom sauce on each eggplant slice before i topped it with with cheese and a portobello and baked it for 20 minutes. talk about yummy. god. (make sure you oil the pan first - i did it with hazelnut oil.) the night before i had stuffed chicken. to die for. i want scallops, but they're so dang expensive! god. like $15/pound! what is up with that. i would get just a half pound, but can't see spending $7.50 when i could spend $2 on chicken or beef. Salmon would be about $5 (for a half pound)...Anyhoo, things are going good. I'm not even feeling deprived, which is what I need if i'm in it for the long haul. another treat - at night - good earth herbal tea. YUM. I hope to get in a yoga class as well this week...I WILL lose 60 pounds...yay!
