Kim Lou-- they were awesome.


I hope everyone else is doing well.

This is my 19th week on Atkins '72, and I seem to have stalled. So, I'm going to be paying a lot more attention to my diet. Part of that will be consuming more eggs. To that end:

I just got bento boxes-- , and I bought these cool little gadgets to go with them; one is a mold for boiled eggs (you get hearts or star shapes) and the other is a mold for rice. I'm going to try it with Cauli-rice and see how that works.

In case y'all are interested---

This is how to use the egg molds:
Bento Egg Molds Everything Your Mama Made & More

Here's how to use the rice molds:
Cooking Cute: Onigiri Tutorial

Here's anything and everything Bento:
BentoTV

More Bento stuff:
Cooking Cute: Bento Equipment

In other words, I've gone Bento CRAZY!

The thing is-- a lot of this can be Low Carbed:
Plain Ol' Food: Low carb bento box treat

So I'm going to give it a shot. I'll post some pics if I manage to do some nice looking ones.

Anyway--
Yesterday's menu:

Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs. Coffee
Snack: Coffee, Ham and Swiss
Lunch: Ham (just noshing)
Dinner: Crock pot "Rotisserie" Chix Leg, 2 pieces ham, Crystal Light
Snack: 1 Piece of ham with Mozzarella

Today:
Breakfast: Coffee

Snack & Lunch: Ham & Melted Cheese Rolls, to fit in my bento box, Raw Cauliflower, Pork Rinds

Dinner: Pork & Shrimp Caulifried Rice,Asian Meatballs, Low Carb Egg Foo Yung (Will have leftovers for tomorrow--busy day)
I may try using our Sushi roller-thingie and Nori to make Low Carb Sushi. I'll let y'all know if it turns out.

Anyway-- y'all have a good rest of the weekend! Has anyone else done some experimenting with foods, lately?

[Erica L. Butler]

Hey, Kimlou--I quit using the Hydroxycut-- because it made me bloat pretty badly-- and it's pretty expensive. I seem to be doing just fine without it.

Hey there pretty ladies, I am back to posting menus. I blew it Fri to Mon by unknowingly drinking regular ginger ale w/o realizing it! Monday night, I reached for the ginger ale for the 3rd time only to realize the bottle din't say diet UGH, it was my first time drinking ginger ale too so I couldn't tell diet from not. Now I am fighting terrible cravings. Din't even weigh...

Busy B back. So sorry about the ginger ale. I saw on another thread you were taking antibiotics, hope you feel better soon.
I know all about those IHOP cravings
You are on the right track.

Will post menu later. I have to check and see what I have .


Have a good day ladies

[Erica L. Butler]

Hi there BusyB-- those bottle labels can fool you if you're not careful, huh? I've had that happen, too.

Hey, Kimlou-- it looks like our folks are reviving! Yay!

I've been feelin' kinda bloaty lately-- so I'm going to attack it by lowering to amount of splenda and artificial sweeteners I get per day. Drink waaay more water. See if that makes a difference. My band is playing a fairly important show on the 22nd-- and I would like to have reached a size 8 by then. I'm at 9/10 at the moment, which is great-- but my overall goal is probably going to be size 2. (I'm 5' 1".) The hardest thing for me is to get rid of the gut-- my upper half is 2 sizes bigger than my bottom half. And trying to learn how to dress for the new configuration is kinda rough, too. It's like growing out a bad haircut.

Anyway-- here's my menus:

Menus:


4/29

Breakfast: Coffee, cream, splenda (2)

Snack: 1 slice prime rib roast

Lunch: Brats with Green pepper and onion, Crystal light

Snack: Brats with Green pepper and onion

Dinner: Mexican Dreamfields noodle casserole with ground pork/turkey, black beans and salsa. (Yeah, I blew it.)

4/30 I have the flu (not the swine variety , or I'm sure I'd be in the hospital) so, was not willing to make a lot of effort in the cooking department... will do better today.

Breakfast: Crockpot Roast, coffee

Lunch: Pork rinds with melted mozzarella, 2 diet ginger ales

Snack: Water, water and more water

Dinner: Crock pot Pork Roast, Diet Root beer

5/1:

Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs

Snack: Pork Rinds, plain
