Third times a charm!!! Keeping it real!!

[ceecee08]

LOL.... Nope they sit and stare me down in a laundry basket. LOL

That mini cheesecake sounds good... I need to make one.

[DesertGurl]

That's what kids are for! I wash and fold and they put it all away.. heeheee....

Saw your purty nails!

Have a great night Sweets!

[mama_2_3]

Did someone say cheesecake????
Yup, I'm a fluffer too
Sounds like you've been busy- great job staying on plan!

[zipp2play]

OH I love getting pedicures! Mine are still Red/Green with snowflakes for Christmas. I should get those changed soon!!!!!!!!!

[Happy2be]

Good morning ladies. . Glad to see a fellow fluffer Kristyn and others that procrastinate on their laundry. So far this week I am trying to put away ask fold it and its working. . That's one new thing this year.

Zipp I got my nails done yesterday, hoping for summer to have a pedi done and having it be a reward.

Danielle. My girls are too young still to help....but a few years and I will be set. .

Today is one week in to Atkins and I have officially lost 7 lbs!!!!! I am finding that its al little crazy that for the past two days I haven't been real hungry and just been eating when hungry. The way I have been eating reminds me of Judd or what I think it might be.

Yesterday. Shake. Water and then a piece of pizza bake and the mini cheesecake last night. I know I am in deep ketosis and burning my own fat so yay... But for being the first week into it I am usually so hungry. Any thoughts?

Oh and the mini cheesecake was crap last night. I didn't follow the recipe and went by memory and I must not have put enough Splenda in. I still ate the whole thing though. Lol.

[MagieDen]

WTG Melanie!

[mama_2_3]

WTG! Maybe try increasing your fat intake? HB eggs are another good one- I don't like them that much so I know I'm really hungry if I can eat one.

[Happy2be]

Thanks ladies. .

Kristyn. I despise hard boiled eggs... But could do any other type.

[Jayce]

Congrats on your loss! Awesome job.

I have to do laundry tonight -- at least 2-3 loads. I have a bad habit of putting it off till I have to do it all at once. LOL

[Happy2be]

Ugh laundry and its never ending.

[Bejewelme]

My Mommy came and did all my laundry tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!YEah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I had to get my haircut so she was watching Bobby, so when I got home she was like Amber I did 3 loads of laundry, living with Mom may not be so bad, LOL

[Seabreezes]

Mom's are the best! YAY on doing laundry.

[Happy2be]

Hey send her my way please.

[Happy2be]

I have a conference coming up on saturday. Help me pick the outfit.
I'm still fine tuning the jewelry a bit, and also trying to find some color for the all black outfits.

[Happy2be]

Good day here. B. shake
Lunch leftover pizza bake and 2 pieces of cheese
Dinner salad
Handful of bacon chips.

No exercise but hoping to get in some tomorrow.

[Bejewelme]

Mel- I like the print dress but I always prefer color cause I think it makes your eyes and face pop, so that is my first choice, 2nd choice is 3

[Jayce]

I agree with Amber...the print dress with tights and boots is very cute.

[DesertGurl]

I like the 2nd pant option with a pop of color from your jewelery, and for the dresses I like 3 & 5--the print dress. Is there any one that YOU are more comfortable in? There's nothing worse than having to be somewhere and feeling uncomfortable in your clothes that you can't relax. I hate that!

Have a great day, Melanie!!

[Gracie514]

My vote is for the colorful top

[nikkiluvslowcarb]

Hey Mel! , I agree with Amber and Jayce, the print top with the tights and boots is my favorite.

Setting small goals works best for me too. Keep up the good work!

[Happy2be]

Thanks ladies. I found a mauve tank to wear with the black. Now just to accessorize.

Had a good day. Had to go grocery shopping. Doing laundry and getting everything ready for this weekend. I will be armed with Atkins friendly food as well as a shake, veggies and Caesar salad. Tomorrow night my group is getting pizza for dinner and i wanted to be armed with something.

My rings are spinning tonight, so that means no bloat. Hoping to see a good number tomorrow.

[Bejewelme]

Have a good weekend Mel!

[MagieDen]

Melanie I know you have posted the recipe before but could you please post your pizza bake recipe. I have been looking on your journal where you posted it and you are one popular gal and it's hard to find.

Thanks!

[melanie09]

Melanie you are doing such a great job!!!

[Bejewelme]

Hope your weekend plans are going well!

[Happy2be]

Hello friends. Had a good weekend. stayed on plan. WOO HOO!!! Ate way too much salad at dinner maybe but probably not enough to be over 20 carbs. I did have 2 meatballs at the spaghetti warehouse that probably had breading in them. Still in ketosis this morning. Scale is holding steady at 213. Hoping that once I get some water drinking in the scale will start moving again.

Magie Sorry I was away for the weekend.
Here is the recipe.

brown 1 lb of sausage or burger
add browned meat to a casserole dish.
add toppings of choice
add a small can of hunts tomato sauce
cover with mozzarella cheese

place in broiler on high for about 8 minutes or until the cheese gets brown.
Eat and enjoy.

[MagieDen]

Melanie "thank you" for the pizza recipe. For some reason I thought that there was eggs involved in it? I might add some lovely bacon to it. This recipe is simple and easy and I will definitely make it. Does it hold up like having a slice of pizza? I guess I will just have to give it a go and see for myself right?

Have a great weekend!

[Happy2be]

It's more like a lasagna consistency. Crumbly and eaten with a fork.

[Bejewelme]

That sounds really good I have to try that, glad you had a good weekend with your girls!

[ceecee08]

Good Morning Mel!!

When you read your Keto Sticks are you in Full ketosis or does it say small traces? Everytime I use them they say small traces.

Yea I need to try your pizza bake recipe as well.
