A+ - thanks heaven. I was worried.
Note to self read the previous posts. I do read. Interesting to see what people find but I did not want to cheat.

I bought two Atkins bars last November when I started. One I ate in December when I was at an out of town soccer tournament and things got very hectic and everyone did fast foods. The other has travelled with me to all the nabouring provinces here. It came with me on my summer holidays and I took it to Norway last spring and back again. Still have it.

Haha, Liv! That reminds me of the old joke about there only actually being one fruitcake in the world ... it just keeps getting passed around globally because no one wants to eat it. Maybe there's only one Atkins bar, too! In which case, don't hog it ... volley it over to the next unlucky Atkineer!

Okay I am lost. I just finished my answer two today. When are the assignments late? I haven't gotten started on assignment week one continued.

heh heh! We have one in our family that gets passed around as the boobie prize for Christmas White Elephant gifts. It's got to be at least seven years old now.

easy to get lost around here, brightstar. but we'll get things straight. you have no worries about being late. you'll have the weekend to catch up and finish anything that isn't done.
you are fine with the first assignment. i see it done as post # (2008 Read The Book Challenge)71

the assignment i posted on monday is pasted below so you don't have to go searching for it. as stated before, number 5 might throw you but don't sweat that either. see, basically, as long as a challenge attempts to do the assignments and makes an effort to be present in the thread on some level, you'll be fine.

Assigment week one continued:
3. Read chapter 10 and answer the following question. In relationship to doing Atkins, when are you suppose to start exercising ?

4. Not actually stated but referrenced in chapter 10, what are the 3 particular points of the Atkins Triad aka: the "three legged stool"? Which of these 3 key points gives you the most 'problem' and why?

5. Concerning "Convenience Foods", particularly the Atkins bars and shakes, what does the book say. What has been the experience for most ADBB members concerning "convenience foods"?

6. Concerning chapter 10, is there anything you are unclear of and need/want to discuss or any point you would like to make a statement about?

to make it easier, i hope, i've stuck an assignment thread in this forum
Assignments for read the book challenge 2008
instead of me pasting them here in our thread where they might get overlooked, you can simply go to the stuck thread and get the next assignment. tomorrow is posted and that will be the last one for the week.
i was thinking because of the menus, it would take a couple days along with the reading.

susan, you've been around so long and helped with boot camp so if you have anything to add or can help with some of the questions, please feel free.

7. Read chapter 11. Post a sample INDUCTION menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner using the ACCEPTABLE FOODS and provide the carb count. Do not use the sample in the the book and be as specific as you can. For example, state 1/2 cups, whole cups, ounces, etc. These can be actual menus that you have used or made up menus. Counting all the carbs or just net carbs, either way works for this assignment.

Doing a sample menu, will catch the rest tomorrow!
