I'm with you Jean! I've got chicken wings and cream cheese for lunch (this

cream cheese is using all my veggie carbs up today!). I bought an oven

roast to through in the oven this afternoon so I can have nice roast beef

for dinner (hubby has chili in the crock pot today and the smell is driving

me crazy!).

I was wondering what about a month-long challenge to get us looking good for

Valentine's day? The incentive being to look good for your sweety and/or

get healthy because you love yourself. Perhaps we could all challenge

ourselves to either a weight loss goal or a behaviour (eat under 25 carbs a

day, exercise 5 times a week, drink all my water... whatever!).

Whatcha think?

Jean:

I'm right there with you... I can't seem to stay on track, since

Thanksgiving I have been bouncing around with the same 5-6 lbs.

Yesterday I was craving popcorn, did manage to fight it by making the

recipe that someone posted for German Cinnamon almond. However I ate

the whole batch, using pecans that I ahd in the freezer(1 cup

chopped). I don't know what brought that strange craving on...but

thank goodness I fought it and won.

This morning I drank 32 oz. of water before bkfst. and had 2 eggs, 3

slices of bacon and am still nursing a cup of green tea with splenda

and cream.

As soon as I finish the tea, I will drink another 32 oz(love those 32

oz. Tco Bell glasses).

Lunch will be 2 slices of leftover pork loin roast and some sort of

veggie(will have to look in the freezer, am out of salad greens till

Thursday).

Have no idea what supper will be, but snacks include sunflower seeds

and string cheese.

I am also going to make a double batch of Atkins rolls so I can use up

a dozen eggs before Thursday when I go to town.

So count me in and hopefully all the old timers will join us.

Kirstie,

Glad to have you joining me, it sounds like you will have it made with your

lunch and dinner plans. Mine will be a challenge as I will be eating out,

and probably at a pizza place! Both places have LC options either chicken

and a dinner salad at one pizza place or a taco salad that I build myself

off the buffet line, green beans, and some LC raw veggies with ranch

dressing.

I have to stop at the store after work, so I can pick up anything for dinner

and should be okay. I think a month long challenge sounds great, but right

now I have to do it one meal at a time. I can't seem to get past three days

of strict LC eating lately, so a month is way to long for me! LOL I am

just going to take it one meal and snack a day. Hopefully that will turn

into a month of successful weight loss. I will challenge myself to

drink all of my water for the next month though. That will probably be

easier than eating appropriately for a month. It isn't as intimidating

considering my past problems staying LC. I will continue to do meals and

snacks one at a time. My attitude used to be real good about if I do bad at

one meal just make better choices at the next one. Lately, it is more, well

I blew it at XXX meal, I guess this won't hurt if I eat it now and I will go

back tomorrow...

That doesn't work! My goal is to drink 72 ounces of water a day and try to

keep carbs under 40 per day (after two weeks of under 20). So far I have

had only 3 carbs for the day, a good start.
