I have a headache today which I'm trying to decide if it's from not having any coffee this morning, or just a headache from painting and spackling.

I did WAY better on water consumption yesterday and took someone on this board's advice and have taken the Brita container out of the frig and let the water be room temp. I can definetely drink more when it's room temperature.

Icon, please post the recipe for Oven Lemon Pancakes.

I"m always looking for good new lc breakfast foods

Lemon Pancake
 

Scotty,

I posted the recipe in the Breakfast Ideas area. I figured I might as well share with everyone!

We enjoyed it for something different. Let me know if you come up with something to make it even better!

GOOD DAY
 

HI,
I AM CHECKING IN. I AM FINISHED EATING FOR THE DAY.

B-COFFEE W/CREAM
SMALL LOW CARB BAR (I KNOW, BAD MOVE. BUT IT IS JUST SO EASY. AH, WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS)

L-SALAD W/BLEU CHEESE DRESSING
6 STRIPS BACON

D-TYPICAL ITALIAN DINNER
PASTA, MEATBALLS SAUSAGE.
ONLY TOOK A SMALL AMT. OF PASTA. MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN 1/3. HAD 2NDS OF MEAT AND LC VEGGIE(ASPARAGUS). STARTED WITH THE SALAD.

THEN I HAD 1 SMALL PEPPERMINT PATTIE(GOD I LOVE THESE)
I CUP OF COFFEE W/ SOME CREAM AND COOL WHIP IN IT. TASTED DELICIOUS. LIKE A DESSERT.

BUT I STILL FEEL GUILTY. I THINK WHEN I FEEL FULL I FEEL GUILTY. I GO OVER IN MY HEAD A HUNDRED TIMES EVERYTHING I ATE. IT WAS ALL OK. MAYBE I'M NUTS.

HOPE YOU BOTH DID OK! I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW. SEE YA.

Feeling full.. the best blessing!
 

I feel very full right now.. but I've not been able to shake this headache all day and that makes everything else sorta blah.

You know, I blew it one day last week and had carbs (way too many) before my Reward Meal. I tried to compensate at the RM because we were having Spagetti for dinner. I ended up cooking cabbage and eating my spagetti sauce over that and it was pretty darn good! Saved a ton of carbs too.

Tomorrow will be easier because I'll be at work. I can always seem to have much less trouble at work, probably because I can't get to the frig :daze:

Are you guys weighing everyday?

Lisa

HI,
I'M GLAD WE ALL DID GOOD. I AM WEIGHING EVERYDAY. MAYBE I SHOULDN'T. BUT WHAT IF I WEIGH ON A LOW DAY THEN NOT AGAIN UNTIL A HIGH DAY. I'LL WANT TO JUMP OFF THE VERAZZANO BRIDGE. (I'M FROM NY).
ANYWAY,LISA I BET YOUR HEADACHE IS FROM THE NO COFFEE. WHEN I WAS DOING ATKINS I SWITCHED TO DECAF IN THE MORNING AND MY HEADACHES WERE SO SO BAD UNTIL I WENT TO BED AT NIGHT. I LIKE MY REG COFFEE IN THE MORNING ANYWAY.
GOOD LUCK TOMORROW! I'M AT WORK TOO. I THINK THAT MAKES IT MUCH EASIER, ALTHOUGH I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO CHEW GUM. THEY SAY NOT TO. BUT I'VE BEEN ADDICTED TO GUM FOR THE LONGEST TIME. I'M TRYING.

IMPATIENT.

SOMEBODY WRITE BACK! :daze:
GOOD LUCK!!!!

Can I join?
 

I saw this this morning, can I join? Better late than never, I'd say. I did my water, exercise, proper meals. One clean day!!! YEAH ME!!!

B- 2 eggs with fried cabbage
L- Salad with sardines and mayonnaise (homemade)
D- small piece of steak, large salad w/mayo, canned spinach carrot/celery juice with ground flax seeds and a scoop of soy protein isolate for my carb.

Why the carrot juice? Because I made it yesterday before I decided to do this and I'll be darned if it's getting thrown out! :)

Exercise was body flex, some weights, and resistance bands. Is this called a crash diet plan?

HEY BASPIDER
 

HI BASPIDER,
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON CAD? YOU LOST A LOT ALREADY. I WISH I WAS WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. YOU LOOK LIKE YOU ARE EATING PERFECT. A LOT LESS THAN ME. MAYBE THAT'S MY PROBLEM. WHO KNOWS? I DON'T WANT TO FEEL HUNGRY, THAT'S FOR SURE. THEN I'D GO FOR THE CARBS. SO I EAT UNTIL I'M SATISFIED. I TRY TO DRINK ALL THE WATER. SOME DAYS ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. BUT I SEEM TO BE GAINING AND LOSING THE SAME DAMN 2 POUNDS FOR 2 WEEKS NOW. :mad: :confused:
KEEP IN TOUCH!

Time served
 

This is my first clean day in 2 years! I started at 149, went to 129 FAST, then back up to 140 at the Dr's in mid January. Major bummer!!! time to get very serious. Maybe a week challenge will do it. If I stick to a clean plan, it works great. But I can't do anything refined, ever. It stops me cold. I eat less now than I did when I started, so maybe that'll help, too. Good luck! We can do this!
