I appreciate any criticizm!!! I will take that into consideration. I am not sure how to eat a good balanced low carb diet w/a good balanced fat diet. Help!

Jamielyn what plan are you on?? atkins says enough fat to have you feel full!

here is a link to discussions here on this board for all kinds of the plans
Weight Loss Plans - Low Carb Friends

are you still in induction?? if so then you are righton the dot for carbs but if you are past the 2 week induction phase i believe you should up them to about 25?? i gotta pull my book out and look for you(and me)

Jean that peach is ok! check out the South Beach guidelines still low carb but more liberal with fruit and veggies.. easier to do for some

now if i would just stick to SOME kind of plan!

i slept from about 4 yesterday afternoon until 6:30 this morning and i could sleep more

anyhoo off to Curves.. hope i can make it back

Tyrone Bill · 07-20-2009, 05:12 AM

Deb I keep forgetting about the emphasis on fat difference between Atkins and Protein Power. That's why I chose Protein Power. Its more fat restrictive than Atkins.
Have a good workout at curves.

bjw · 07-20-2009, 07:51 AM

Thanks for the imput Deb and Bill.
Bill, I pulled out my kitchen scale this morning. I took a small piece of lean sirloin out of the freezer and estimated it to weigh 5oz cooked in 1 tbs of butter. Wrong! It weighed 7oz cooked.
I guess my eyeball method ain't working so good.
I have been reporting here all my foods but now I wonder how good my portions really were.
I feel better,swell much less, can reach to do personal tasks much easier. So something is going right. I can push mow my whole front yard now without stopping or getting breathless and can finish all the weekly yard work in a timely 3-3 1/2 hours.
I have been back to serious trying for a month now. I feel much better mentally and physically.
Thanks to all of you for listening and being there.

Jean I never trust my eye to measure my food. I always say, my stomach influences what my eyes see.

debkeversole · 07-20-2009, 02:09 PM

alaskanlaughter · 07-20-2009, 02:12 PM

Tyrone Bill · 07-20-2009, 02:15 PM

Tyrone Bill · 07-20-2009, 02:20 PM

Very cute. My 15 year old wears blue nail polish that same shade.

Tyrone Bill · 07-20-2009, 03:10 PM

I guess blue nailpolish isn't as rare as I thought. Could this be the 'old fogie'(sp?) coming out in me!!!

alaskanlaughter · 07-20-2009, 03:11 PM

ive always said that everyone has a little rebel inside of them...just doing some teensy little thing that's not acceptable...i might cook n clean n work n raise kids but i still paint my nails weird colors LOL....my guy likes to park illegally LOL

Tyrone Bill · 07-20-2009, 03:40 PM

Park illegally...couldn't that get a bit expensive?

alaskanlaughter · 07-20-2009, 03:44 PM

only gets expensive if you get caught

my dad always says "it's only illegal if you get caught" LOL

bjw · 07-20-2009, 04:28 PM

Good evening,
Lunch today was at Wendys. I got I chicken blt salad. It was huge so I brought 1/2 home for later.
I had thawed a small chicken for grilling but its rainy so I will cook it tomorrow. We are going to have sausage and eggs for dinner with biscuits on the side for DH.
I was very busy today. I cleaned out my fridge and wiped it down good.
I made a Walmart run, got the gas tank refilled for the grill, took our trash to the dump, did 2 loads of laundry, went and got Gavin to spend the night and will soon cook dinner.
I am pooped.
HAGN,
Jean

Tyrone Bill · 07-20-2009, 04:33 PM

Ruth Soapy Smith wasn't by any chance an ancester of you or your husband was he?

Tyrone Bill · 07-20-2009, 04:41 PM

Jean I never had a chicken blt salad but it sure sounds good.

There's a lot of that busy going around this place. It must be contagious. I'll have to be careful or I'll catch it.

I probably am following Atkins the closest. I am on my 5th week. I am having trouble getting in 20 carbs a day though

Tyrone Bill · 07-20-2009, 05:22 PM

I've never tried Atkins.
My only experience is with Protein Power Plan.

I forget sometimes there significant differences in the low carb eating plans.

alaskanlaughter · 07-20-2009, 06:16 PM

its pouring rain here again, coming down awfully hard and if it doesnt stop i wont be walking in it tonight

you cant even see the mountains about half mile away cuz of teh rain...ive had kids cooped up inside all day because of the weather...they did surprisingly well-behaved...they've mostly gone home and i inherited another neighborhood kid who i had to go pick up cuz his neighborhood isnt anywhere near ours LOL...house is clean, vacuumed, straightened up, swept and mopped and a pork roast in the oven to slow-bake for awhile...ive been watching my calories again today, and im starving LOL...thats about it for today

Tyrone Bill · 07-20-2009, 06:26 PM
