Doing Great!

[midwestgirl]

Hey Out There! Just wanted to update you how I'm doing. I officially ended my induction on July 31, 2009 and was down 13.8 lbs. It feels good! I have been following the atkins plan to a T. Using fitday to track my fat, protein and carb content. Drinking plenty of water and taking supplements. I have also been hitting up the gym again running 3-4x/week. I have not noticed many changes physically other then the scale going down. It doesn't really bother me yet. I'm also NOT getting bored with my menu although I do eat the same for b-fast, lunch, and dinner each day. I do work full-time so it's hard to be in the kitchen. In the morning I usually have 2 eggs with a slice of cheddar cheese and 2 sausage links. I usually pack a salad with 3 cups of lettuce 2 boneless/skinless chicken strips prepared beforehand, a hardboiled egg and some caeser dressing (the caeser scares me a bit because it's commercially prepared, but it only says 2 net carbs for 2 tbsp??? suggestions???) - pretty easy to whip up in a crunch time. I need to start being more creative! Any suggestions?

You say what you eat everyday for breakfast and lunch....what do you have for dinner? You might want to add some veggies to breakfast and dinner -- not eating them all at one time.

Congrats on the loss so far!

FOr dinner tonight I had beef and broccoli stir fry!
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil/Butter
1 Clove of Garlic (minced)
1 Slice of Onion (minced)
2 center round cut steaks cut into strips
1/2 Cup of Broccoli!

Tasted Awesome

Other Nights when I've split up my veggie intake I'll have a crispy chicken salad made with chicken strips breaded with parmesan cheese and fried in oil topped on a salad with regular ranch dressing! Also Great!!!

I've also tried Plain boring Pork Chops (would like for a great sauce to put on top)
& chicken stuffed with herb cream cheese filling!!!!

Would love more low carb suggestions though!
