Ok so I found these whole grain crackers that are 4 carbs per cracker.
I ate half the package with cream cheese.

Man I love crackers....

That's what I miss most on Atkins. I know he said to eat something like Rye Crisps, but I was looking at the nutrition info on both and these had lower carbs.
Oh well...... it coulda been worse, right?
It could have been all the leftover Halloween candy!

Weighing in tomorrow night. Wish me luck!

I weighed myself last night and I am at 199!


Finally under that 200 pound mark!

I also learned about soy flour from a friend at work. Can't wait to make some gravy!

I've also noticed some odd things....

First thing when I wake up I *HAVE* to have a glass of ice water.
Second thing I've noticed is that I'm not hungry. I mean really. Food doesn't really sound interesting. I eat maybe once a day. And I'm fine with that. I know I'm supposed to have snacks & all that, but I just don't feel like I need it...

I weighed myself on my usual scale last night and it said that I weigh 201!!!!!!
I am soooooo close to my mini goal of weighing in under 200 pounds!


I'm loving how loose my clothes are fitting!

And my husband has agreed to join the YMCA by our house with me and even agreed to work out with me!

Made another low carb wrap "pizza" for dinner tonight. Even got my vegetarian teenage daughter to eat one! ( no meat, of course)

For dessert? 2/4 cup of strawberries and heavy whipping cream with splenda. The strawberries...

So it seems that I'm losing inches too.
While I was at work tonight ( I'm a dealer in a casino) I felt my panties slipping down off of my hips! Tried to "scoot" them back into place by rubbing my hip on the table as I delt ( cause I am forbidden to put my hands below the table or to touch myself- might be stealing money!)
The "scooting" only made it worse. They started falling down my butt.
By the time I got off of that game and could head to the bathroom to fix it, my panty line was somewhere on the backs of my thighs!

OK. So I found these tortillas today at the grocery store. They are 4 carbs each.
I used some spaghetti sauce that was 2 carbs per 1/4 cup and I used these toppings:

pepperonni- zero carbs!
ham- zero carbs!
mushrooms- zero carbs!
1/8 cup onions- 2 carbs?
1/8 cup green peppers
1/8 cup red peppers
mozerella cheese- generous amount!
parmesan cheese- ditto!
red pepper flakes- a few shakes

By my calculations, the whole thing was 8 carbs! And it was so filling that I was not even interested in jello after that!...
