Well, I would say I'm mostly following that. The water, however, is an issue since I hate drinking water and hardly ever do except when I'm exercising or at dinner, but only sometimes. If I feel thirsty, I drink either coffee or diet pop. If caffeine is a problem, then I will just have to live with that because anyone who loves coffee as much as I do will understand you can't live without it. However, I guess I could switch to decaf. That would be a small change, and although there is still caffeine in decaf, its much less. And I could switch to non-caffeine diet soda. I know I need more water, which is why I'm starting today by drinking a glass with every meal. I don't have that much cheese in a day, but I can almost guarantee that my sodium is off the charts. I don't eat as much veggies as I should be, but I try. Its probably a combo of all of that. Last time I was on atkins, I only ate eggs, bacon, cheese, and pork rines. I lost like crazy. But I can't do that again. The thought of it makes me sick. So my day usually goes like this:

Breakfast: 1 cup of coffee, scrambled eggs, and once in a while sausage.

Lunch: Chicken on either a salad, or with avocado

Dinner: Chicken, Ham, Hotdogs w/ onions and mustard, Shrimp, or Roast.

For a snack: Once in a while I have a spoonful of Peanut Butter, or a serving size of nuts, or pork rines w/ hot sauce, or veggies and dip, or cheese, or jerky.

There she blows....
