Hello everyone!
What a great way to start off the morning...I'm sitting here enjoying a great cup of coffee (I love my coffee, too,
LouAnn) and reading all these great posts. I'm so glad I found some weight loss buddies to share this low carb way of life. I'm not a teacher, but I do work in a college as a secretary.
For breakfast this morning, I had a protein shake. I packed a container of some leftover pork and onions, and I filled a small baggie with some cut up veggies. I plan on stopping at the gym on my way home. Dinner will be more pork and some streamed broccoli and cauliflower.
Then comes my DANGER time. The most difficult time of the day for me is after dinner. I always do so well during the day, and I blow it at night. I plan on concentrating on drinking more water today. I'll especially do it tonight to fight off the binging monster that appears every evening.
LouAnn: You have done a tremendous job. Going from a 3X to an XL is amazing!
Polly: I'd love to hear about the Kool-Aid with
splenda snowcones. My favorite thing to drink is Kool-Aid sweetened with Splenda. I found that I can only eat/drink things with Splenda. Other artificial sweeteners give me cravings. I love the Quickpacks (I think that is what they are called) from Splenda. They are equivalent to a cup of sugar. They are normally over $3.00 at the stores in my area (Pittsburgh, PA), but I found them on sale the other day for only $1.50, and I bought a ton of them.
I also enjoy reading your menu's,
Polly. If someone asked me what was my secret to success with low carb in the past, it would be being creative with cooking. There's lots of great recipes here at Low Carb Friends.
Have a great day, everyone, and I wish you lots of success!
