These
pages contain my online journals. Do not read the first one from April and
assume that I still feel the same way about every single thing. As I have
continued on my lowcarb journey, my opinions have changed somewhat about
certain things... but these are journals, so I will not go back and
edit them.
-
FAT
GOAL: = At least 65% of total calories, but more works better for me!
-
CARB
GOAL: NET = < 30gm but I don't worry if I go up to 40 net occasionally.
-
PROTEIN
GOAL: 120 gm (based on my LBM of 142 lbs as well as my activity level)
-
CALORIES:
I keep track but I do not actively restrict them.
-
**
Your goals may need to be different but these are mine. ATM (at the
moment) **

The
following entries were posted daily at thinner.com, and about this time I
got wise enough to start keeping copies of my posts for my own files. The
following entries cover the time span when I created the recipe for No-Cook
Heavenly Mousse, which has been since dubbed "Orgasm in a Bowl" at
thinner.com and has its own acronym now: OIAB. I created this recipe to aid
me in testing a theory which I called "Up the Fat and Damn the
Calories"
-
Today's
starting weight: 251 ~ 20 pounds now gone! But nothing has changed for a
while.

Only pushing my 600 lb. bike around . And grinning. Since DH came home early
and whisked me away into the SUNSHINE for a nice ride, and everything was
green and budding and beautiful, and it smelled so great! And I live in such
a beautiful place, for which I continue to be grateful and which I do not
take for granted all that often.

I
am down ½ pound after the SB ice cream fiasco.
-
I
had started gaining on my 65-70% fat, 1600 calorie average per day, over the
course of a month ~ and I LOST 5 pounds last week in just 3 days after I
upped fat to ABOVE 70% and kept calories over 3000 per day. The next 2 days
I gained nada, zip, zilch - while I ate like a queen. Yesterday
another half pound down.
-
I
consider this test of "Up the fat and damn the calories' to be
officially over. And to have been a rousing success!
-
I
will continue to insure that my fat remains over 70% and I will not count or
worry about calories anymore. Now that the weekend is over and I start
exercising daily again, I expect to be moving my stats down again real soon.
Watch and weep, you misguided calorie counters, you! ;^_)
-
(Hey,
no offense I am still trying to convince myself, this is hard to
swallow well, not really hard to swallow - hard to believe, I guess!
But results convince! And mine are very convincing. It may not work for
everyone but it sure works for me and limiting calories made me gain.
It is LOTs more fun to come up with creative ways to up the fat than to
limit your calorie intake, trust me!)

it. This is the first time I have been sick with a head cold since I started
taking the Microhydrin last July. (Yes, I smoked all winter and never caught
any of the myriad things my children brought home not once.) It
appears as if I am a lot less sick than DH and daughter were, but that could
just be the "mom can't be sick" factor that keeps me going Though
I have not felt the need to see the doctor or go on antibiotics, as they
both have done. I just upped my dose of Microhydrin. Cross your fingers for
me that I continue to improve without intervention. [I did!!]

AT
this point I stopped recording and posting my daily meal plans. And I backed
off on my fat percentages and I would bet that my average calories dropped
to about 1700, which is where I usually end up unless I am consciously
working on "up the fat".
-
I
clearly recall a fiasco on Memorial Day Weekend when I gained four stinking
pounds just due to drinking 3 Miller Lites the first day and 4 the next day.
Even though net carbs for those days including the beers were under 20! When
we left for our vacation on June 10th, I was still up 2 of those pounds.
When I returned from vacation, I was up another 7 pounds, for a total of
nine. :^(
-
Am
up 7 pounds from vacation even though I did everything
"right" according to the book. I know how sensitive I am, though,
(just picture a canary in a coal mine) and I am pretty sure I know where I
went wrong. A typical day on the road was a Keto-Bar for breakfast with
coffee and supps and water, then macadamias mid-morning followed by some
pork rinds. Lunch was a salad with romaine, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, feta
cheese, and some kind of meat added (but usually processed lunch meat or
pre-cooked chicken breast strips not the best choices for meat) with
Sweet Hot Mustard dressing (I took a bunch with me!) Dinner was most often
another salad in our room, but maybe four times we went out and I would add
a steak or some kind of fresh fish, with their salad and unknown
brands of Ranch dressing. Twice I ate fast food burgers without buns. Went
through 5 cases of water!
-
So
I drank all my water, took all my supplements, kept my carbs at induction
levels, ate salads every day from my cooler, walked a TON, stayed away from
all artificial sweeteners completely the whole time - and gained 7 - YES
SEVEN -pounds. No doubt due to the fact that I drank some beer (2 - 4 Miller
Lites) every single day, I ate too many nuts, I ate pork rinds again (which
I haven't touched in months), I ate far too much "processed"
meats, I had a bar every day for breakfast, and I did not bother to time my
meals and snacks. Still, seven seems a bit harsh. Bet my calories were way
low the entire time. *winces and shakes head*
-
So
for Sunday, June 18, I weighed 249 pounds in the AM. Seems to be water (I
hope) as I cannot seem to find my ankle bones and my rings all fit again
instead of falling off. Damn!

UP
THE FAT CHOLESTEROL SIDEBAR:
-
Got
my cholesterol results in the mail today from my 2nd test. I don't
have hard numbers from right before Atkins but I know my HDL was a whopping
12, which my doctor said "wasn't even measurable much less
adequate" and my triglycerides were over 400 (and they went to almost
900 yes, JUST my triglycerides alone - on Lipitor in combination with
reduced fat and exercise!).
-
APRIL
2000 (8 wks. LC) / JUNE 2000 (18 wks. LC)
-
The
main difference between these periods is, as you must surely know by now, UP
THE FAT.
-
So,
upping my fat results in one good thing (weight loss) and one bad thing
(very slight changes in my cholesterol for the worse). I was quite upset
when I realized the vicious circle I seemed to be in, I was actually numb at
first. But I have had a day to think about it now, and I really feel like
this:
-
I
am barely over the border of normal, these numbers are FAR FAR FAR better
than any I ever got when low fat dieting with exercise, whether on or off
medication. Even if they have inched a little in the wrong way as a result
of my high fat intake, the high fat intake seems to be required for weight
loss to occur, and weight loss is a very good thing. I am bound to be at my
goal weight within two years, when I will return to "normal" low
carb eating, with a much lower fat percentage. I am hardly likely to have a
coronary in the next two years due to these borderline cholesterol
numbers so on the whole I think I am much better off continuing to eat
as I have been, since it undoubtably helps me lose weight, which is a very
desirable goal for someone with tendencies toward high cholesterol.

EXERCISE:
remarkably, even though it is Tom time, I got on my Nordic trak (which I
keep meaning to sell) and like to killed myself for 13 frantic minutes.
Guess I will keep it around for winter. Hell, I think I will try to start
using it right away and get some of that high intensity fat burning exercise
going. Treadmills cost too much, and I paid WAY too much for this thing to
sell it cheap. Can you tell I am trying to talk myself into this? I hate the
Nordic Trak, give me a real pair of skis any day at least all these
months of walking got me in good enough shape to use my exercise
equipment ROFL

been fine, too. But I am glad I didn't, I almost had an .. well, you know. I
miss my fruit! I am up half a pound this Am, for 1.5 total since TOM
arrived, that's not too bad, I am sure it is all water, since my wedding
ring fits again (on the proper finger no less).

EXERCISE:
16 minutes skiing very hard on Nordic Trak, 1 set each of 4 different arm
exercises. Scrubbed vigorously on cupboard doors, floors, etc. till my arms
gave out, about three hours worth I think. Had planned to wax the wood floor
under the pool table, FAT CHANCE, my arms ached horribly long before I got
to that point.

SAID THAN DONE, Deb! Glad today is a holiday, I have a good excuse to rest.
The Killer Hill from Hell is starting to seem very easy in comparison ..
everything is relative. LOL
-
Measured
myself yesterday ~ another 1/2 inch gone from each thigh and another inch
off my waist. Good for another 1/2% reduction in total body fat. Hips the
same. (I had lost more inches from there, earlier.) I don't bother measuring
anywhere else. Funny how the loss seems to occur more predominantly in a
different place each month. Except the boobs, this seems to the diet to be
on if you want to keep the boobs. * Sigh*

DINNER:
Planned pan-fried catfish but felt icky and wriggled out of cooking
anything. 740pm finally decided I better eat something, so: 1 oz maui
onion macs, 1 string cheese, ½ of a Premier 8 protein bar that I found, of
all places, at my local grocery store! 8 carbs per bar, a little high, but I
was hoping it would taste awesome. I tried cookies and cream, and, well,
let's just say I have quite an aftertaste ATM. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten
it WITH the onion macs! Duh. I'll finish the rest off with my coffee in the
AM, that makes them all taste better, to me.
-
WATER:
4 liters easy, nevertheless I am still retaining a bunch of water. TOM made
a late appearance encore today AGAIN. Plus I have a big ZIT in the middle of
my chin that resembles a bullseye, and then I broke out with a big itchy
patch of cold sores on the side of my damn JAW this afternoon. Usually this
would mean stress, but I'm not sure WHAT this all means, besides the fact
that I, and my hormones, must be a real mess for some reason. *Great big
pout, complete with quivering jaw*

Nordictrack!!! And this in spite of the fact that I am still retaining lots
of water, based on my rings. When this water finally lets go, I expect
another couple pounds to be gone. Yippee!!!
-
BREAKFAST:
7 am Coffee with whipping cream 1015 am 1 hour AFTER exercise over, 2
fried eggs, 1.25 oz. bacon (6 slices of the pre-cooked Armour that I buy at
Sam's Club if you haven't tried this, you really should. Why bother to
cook your own and deal with all that grease! 60 cooked slices for $7
something works for me!!) One bite of the Premier 8 bar leftover from last
night ick pfooey bleck!! THIS BAR IS AWFUL. The only reason I must
have made it through half of it last nigh is because I had the strong staste
of Maui onion macs clogging up my taste buds and masking the taste of that
bar. OMG. Really really BAAD. A double CarboLite fr, vanilla cappuccino.
Yummm. Now that taste is gone.
-
LUNCH:
1230 pm Salad with the greens fresh picked from the garden! 1.5 oz. of
mixed baby lettuces and spinach with fresh cilantro, 1 ring Vidalia onion
(6g), 1 ring sweet red pepper (18g), 1.5 oz. tomato, 1 HB egg, 2 Tb. HV
ranch, then 2.3 oz. Maui onion macs and 1 key lime diet ice botanical
-
DINNER:
Blackened catfish, 10 oz (2 filets), and veggie primavera I boiled one
16 oz. pkg of broccoli/cauliflower slaw mix till tender-crisp and topped
with ½ a jar of Classico roasted garlic alfredo. Not impressed with the
sauce AT ALL, but with a homemade sauce, it will be a very tasty side dish.
Note: Put a homemade Alfredo sauce in the cookbook and dump the rest of the
"boughten" crap in my fridge. ¼ of a CarboLite chocolate bar for
dessert. Gawd, that stuff is GOOD. Good thing I can't afford to buy it very
often - it sure doesn't last long when I do!
-
WATER:
Only about 2 liters, darn it. Plus 16 oz. diet ice botanical and a double
decaf SF cappuccino whenever I drink other things, my water intake
suffers. Altogether, far less than ususal.

Well,
if all carbs are created equally, the numbers are good. I prefer to get my
carbs from veggies but what can I say? I was cooking and creating all day
long.
-
RESULTS:
Woke up a pound and a half lighter! Mini-swoosh. Yippee for me.
-
That
makes 33½ pounds now that I have LOST FOREVER. No doubt in my mind
whatsoever. I think, given enough time, that I can create a *reasonable*
fascimile of any food or drink that I used to like. This means I can eat
whatever I want, all the time, and never gain weight or get unhealthy. And I
always thought that was the description of one of those "skinny
bitches" I have loved to hate all these years! Hahahahahahaha CRASH.
Ooops. That was me falling out of the chair and rolling around on the floor
at the very thought. And don't send me any email telling me not to use words
like that, either. If you don't have a sense of humor, you should have been
weeded out right at the front page with that fat jokes reference. That
wasn't an accident or poor judgment on my part, if you wondered. I did that
deliberately. An act of defiance. I am tired of being politically correct
and I am tired of people pitching a fit when some else uses real words in
real life to tell the truth. (Oooh, I wonder if this attitude has anything
to do with the support message board that I just gave up? I am still bugged,
I guess. But it did help me to let go, I really need to concentrate on
"The Book" capital letters emphasized. I think a journal will give
me the same help. I never kept one before, but I am really liking it. So
instead of posting all the time on thinner, I am going to start running off
at the keyboard all over here instead.)

BREAKFAST:
7 am Coffee with whipping cream, 1 leftover cheeseburger, what can I say, it
was there. Dipped in t tsp. sweet hot mustard.
-
LUNCH:
130 pm Salad with spinach and bibb lettuce from the garden, ½ cup of
picante sauce whipped with 2 Tb. sour cream and 1 tsp. green Tobasco sauce
for dressing and veggies, 1 HB egg, 2 Branacrisps spread w/ 1 laughing cow
chz. Wedge, 1 LC fudgesicle Oh My God. I struck gold this time, this
is WAY better than frozen OIAB!!!!!!!! I'll try an orange creamsicle for
breakfast tomorrow, I think. I'm not so sure about those, may have used too
much extract.
-
**
note from next day I was wrong, the orange ones may even be better
than the fudge. Here's the secret - just for you who read my journals: OIAB
recipe but use half whip cream and ½ half and half cream. It won't whip as
stiff, which is good. Omit pnut butter & cocoa for fudgesicles add
½ oz. melted baking chocolate which has been cooled. Mine was so cool it
seized up a little when stirred in, which gave me flecks of pure chocolate
throughout mmm. For orange add 1 Tb. extract, for root beer only use 2
tsp. If there's anybody out there who bothers to read these journals, let me
know, would ya? Enjoy, these are awesome. I get 10 per batch, equal to only
4 carbs for chocolate and 3 for orange or root beer**

SNACK:

This
day is better all around, (fat and protein numbers really similar though)
managed to eat some good veggies, kept carbs low, got some good fiber, and
still had some killer sweets. A VERY GOOD DAY. Worked on the cookbook and
the website all day. I may have to up the recipe count from 150 to
300,'cause 150 is going to be a breeze!! Had fun making a pile of all my
lowfat cookbooks for charity. I really should burn them, in the interests of
humanity, but I am a book lover and I could never do that when there are so
many misguided low fat fanatics running around. Maybe I'll donate them to
the library, as they are in great shape, hardbacks mostly ..

am not at all surprised up and down, up and down is the norm on this

6 pm Creamy Lemon Chicken served over tender-crisp cabbage. I can't believe
I even *ATE* cabbage, much less that I *ENJOYED* cabbage but, there
you go! I sliced it vertically and boiled it for ONLY about 5 minutes, with
a big dollop of cream AND the excess grease from my chicken pan in the
water, then drained very well and salted it with sea salt. Next time, a real
italian sauce I think.. if my family ever lets me put anything but the lemon
chicken over it, what can I say, it was REALLY good. And simple. And not one
funky ingredient!

This
day was weird but I woke up at 238, only ½ lb. over my all-time low. I'll

DINNER:
1.5 bratwursts, 1 piece kiebalsa, and ¾ cup of this new salad I can't
decide a name for. I was thinking Vegetable Ragu but that's not good. It's
more like a slaw, with really different ingredients. Looks a lot like
coleslaw, actually, but tastes nothing like it.

EXERCISE:
Did 16 straight minutes on the Nordictrack, then 115 crunches on the Ab-Ex,
then got back on NT but could only do about 2 more minutes before I thought
I would die. Going to oil my wood floor next, that will be good arm exercise
for at least an hour. Then gardening altogether I should get some
decent exercise in today.

Not
a good morning woke up at 240.5, up 2.5 pounds! However, I am not
unduly stressed about it, because of several things one, I worked my
muscles H A R D yesterday, which can cause them to suck in water temporarily
while they are repairing (growing!) themselves. Second, I got very very
little sleep last night, and it is while you are are sleeping that ketosis
is strongest and most weight is lost. Then there's the fact that I was a
little "bound up" which resolved itself already, but not
until after I had already had my coffee, and gained a couple pounds from
becoming rehydrated. Lastly, there was the damn kiebalsa that DH brought
home a month ago and which I finally decide to cook and get rid of. I
shouldn't have eaten it! I knew it, because it had 4 carbs per serving, and
the carbs were from the "Real Stuff". The last time I had 4 carbs
worth of the "Real Stuff" was when I ran out of cream for my
coffee and opened a can of unsweetened evaporated milk. That put me up three
pounds overnight, too, and I swore right then, never again. (That time my
total carbs for the day were only 14 including the milk.) Before that, one
time, I ate one one! Sara Lee cheesecake bite which had 4 carbs
in it and the same thing happened. Even if I count the carbs and stay under
my allowance, the "Real Stuff" slays me. Further proof that it is
not good for me, I guess. Duh! Wake up and smell the carbs, Karen. I can
handle carbs from veggies just fine. And even from bread and crackers. But
carbs from sugar nope! nope! nope! NO MORE. Third time's a charm, I am
cured. Oh, and one more reason not to freak out is that NO ONE gains that
much fat in just one day so it has to be just water, and so this too, shall
pass..
-
So,
I baked bread all last night. I was thinking about how hot is has been, and
running the oven in the daytime (ick) and decided to start last night at 930
instead, when the house had finally cooled off. Unfortunately, my yeast was
dated December 2000. I decide to go for it anyway. It took 3 hours for the
dough to rise the first time, but rise it did the *first time!* LOL At
5am I decided to bake off the dough "logs" as they were. It didn't
rise at all the second time, and I am sure that was due to outdated dead
yeast. It tastes pretty darn good, considering how dense it is, so off to
the store for some fresh yeast and another try later. I think I will up the
wheat gluten a little, and the wheat bran, and use less soy. The first
recipe would be 4 carbs per slice, and I see 6 as being acceptable. The
lowest bread I can find in the stores is 9 per slice, actually 6 would be
great. I will slice up the first batch and make some bread crumbs for
breading things and maybe some legal croutons. No waste. Think I will work
on some crackers today too or maybe that sponge cake or pound cake I have
been thinking about. Depending on how hot the kitchen gets from the bread,
that is! Or maybe something entirely different, I never really know till I
get going. (I ended up going for bread, again, and a new entrée with fish.)
-
BREAKFAST:
8am Coffee with cream & 2 PB&J cookies (hey, they're getting stale,
what can I say?)
-
LUNCH:
1 slice American cheese, grabbed and eaten hastily, almost without
thought Bad girl! Bad girl! 1 cup garden spinach, shredded, with 2 HB
eggs, ¼ of a small Roma tomato, ½ slice bacon, crumbled, 3Tb. S-H mustard
and a vanilla protein shake with French Vanilla Davinchi syrup man!
That stuff is good, it even made a protein shake taste good, I plan to buy
every flavor they make! Eventually.
-
SNACK:
2pm 1 oz. Maui onion macs
-
DINNER:
Grilled ribeye steak, mixed green and yellow zuchinnni squash with butter
and parmesan over it
-
SNACK:
10pm 2 slices TLC yeast bread #2 I say this batch is edible - and DH
says it is wonderful! Notice I ate two slices and at that hour. Batch
#1 I ate only one bite of, before deciding it would make okay croutons and
crumbs, LOL! It still didn't rise well the second time around, so my loafs
are small, like cocktail bread. Next time I will make it into just one loaf,
which will have 8 carbs per full size slice. Hmmmm. Not much lower than what
I buy. But tastier. Worth making occasionally. I have one other idea which
may help the second rising and will try it in TLC bread #3. If it would rise
in the oven like I expect, then the carbs would be low enough to enjoy it on
a semi-regular basis. Will try again soon.

RESULTS:
Was really afraid to step on the scale today, but I am down ½ pound. That
means I am still up 2 from my all-time low. I think I will eat mostly meat
today, work out hard, and see if I can get rid of it before tomorrow. I made
low carb yeast bread, I made low carb yeast bread, neener neener neeener.
Ha! And they said it couldn't be done
-
BREAKFAST:
7 am Coffee with whipping cream - Not really a breakfast, I know, but
hopefully the cream is enough to get my metabolism going anyway. I wanted to
work out on an empty stomach and keep it empty for an hour following, as
"they" say that will burn the most fat
-
LUNCH:
1pm 2 hamburgers via George Foreman grill, with American cheese and 2 Tb.
S-H mustard

SNACK:
1 LC garlic crouton it was a taste test, I turned icky batch of bread

1 slice Swiss cheese
-
DINNER:
645pm Baked sole fillets stuffed with leftover cabbage, HB eggs, onion,
bacon and cheeses, topped with crème fraiche and fresh dill weed this
one needs some refinements. Spinach instead of cabbage, for a start, and
less dill that stuff is strong when fresh!
-
DESSERT:
730 A huge bowl of French Vanilla ice cream made with Davinchi syrup a
little late for eating, but every once in a while you just gotta LIVE, ya
know? And it only had FOUR carbs . Bought a small toastmaster ice cream
maker. What an improvement over my great big noisy model that needs ice and
salt to freeze. If you have an extra freezer, as I do, get yourself one of
these small models and keep the freezer bowl frozen all the time. After you
buy your DaVinchi syrups.. I can't tell you how good these are compared to
Torani or Atkins.

630pm Chicken Broccoli Parmesan. It was really awesome, only it wasn't
supposed to be that, at all. I am not even gonna tell you what it was
supposed to be. But it wasn't supposed to have any broccoli which added
carbs I wasn't expecting. We'll just say that once again a complete accident
may end up being one of my best efforts! Then here's what really puts
me over the top for the day 2 servings of Rhubarb Streusel Cake. OMG.
This is may be lethal. I may never eat eggs again.

eating more. *Woke up + 2.5 pounds, dang it. Tho it seems to be water

onto water all the way through. And it is HOT HOT HOT here today, which just
adds to the bloat

tight this morning, and on the right fingers no less (I have been wearing my
wedding ring on the bird finger for a month and a half!) So obviously I am
retaining enough water to qualify as a dam. Soon as it lets go, I bet I am
back to my all-time low (Or dare I hope below it?) I am also a
might "bound up" as Granny would have said, so I still have all
that fiber in me from the weekend. Yes, I am talking myself into not being
upset about the scale reading. Whatever works, right? LOL

you make it to 16 minutes you can skip ALL the dumbbells Sixteen
minutes Okay, if you make it 17 minutes you can skip the advanced
position when you do crunches Seventeen minutes Okay if you make
it to eighteen minutes, you can skip the walk afterwards Eighteen

abs Nineteen Minutes Okay, if you make it to TWENTY MINUTES you
are a GODDESS.

The

but I concentrated on technique, doing them as slowly as I could, not
letting my shoulders touch the floor in between, and holding the last crunch

EXERCISE:
Have no energy at all today. Did 7 minutes on the N-T, seem to have a pulled
muscle in my right thigh, thought it would work itself out through exercise,
but no such luck. Then could only do 90 arm lilfts and 100 crunches. No
ummph at all. Must be TOM's approach either that or there is too much blood
in my caffeine system hehe.

Too
much protein, WAY too many carbs but almost no sugars at all, carbs
are mostly from fruit and veggies with lots of fiber. TOM imminent and I
know I am bound to show a gain tomorrow anyway, so I guess I just don't care
I didn't eat anything that I shouldn't eat, I just ate too much of what I am
allowed to eat. Oh, well. They are called GOALS for a reason and I will not
meet them ALL the timeI am trying to justify these totals, I did not add
everything up as I went, for some reason, and am a little shocked, frankly,
seeing it written down and totalled. (* Note on Thurs: no change on the
scale, either way! Very interesting, especially since my rings are totally
tight, I seem to be retaining water on a massive scale perhaps I even
lost some fat, but it cannot affect the scale due to the water build up?
Hmmmmm.. I will test the increased carbs on a "normal" day after
TOM is over. Perhaps I need to eat a few more than I have been, lately.
Stranger things have happened, I suppose.)
-
BREAKFAST:
7am Coffee with whipping cream, 1 Keto-bar (now that I have ordered more I
feel like I can eat the last few that I had hidden from the bar-gobbling
monster (a.k.a. my thin,
already-at-goal-weight-and-outta-lighten-up-on-the-expensive-LC-foods-by-now,
eats-at-least-four-to-my-one hubby! Obviously there is more of a story to
this comment, I will let you use your imagination.)
-
LUNCH:
12pm ½ a grated zucchini sauted with a tiny bit of onion and pepper, then 3
eggs and 1/3 cup shredded colby-jack
-
SNACK:
2pm The last 1.25 coconut bars
-
DINNER:
630pm Nut Encrusted Fish (cod, almonds) and Roasted Stuffed Red Pepper
both came out GRREAT! Particularly the peppers, they do have 9 carbs in a
whole one but that's not bad for a meal if you plan for it. As good as it
was, I will plan for it again today (there are leftovers)!! Yummmm. I also
made up cole slaw and roasted red pepper hummus. (They are good, too, though
all I had was a little taste of each.) 4 book dishes in one day almost
makes up for doing nothing on it yesterday, especially when I consider that
I *totally* completed all 4 of them (they have been photographed, typeset,
printed and are "in the book").

Friday
AM notes: Well, I actually went down ½ a pound after this day!! TOM has
finally begun (PMS is gone and painful icky MS has taken its place). I
cannot believe I went down ½ a pound at this time, this is a FIRST!! That
means I am only up ½ a pound over my all-time low. I may gain 6 pounds
today, we shall have to see - but I am hopeful that finally I may experience
one of those post-TOM swooshes everyone else reports.

Saturday
345 AM notes: TOM sucks. Held out without narcotics until now. Discovered I
am up 2 full pounds since yesterday AM. Why bother to hold out? I was hoping
my typical weight gain during TOM could be blamed on the narcotics, but
since it can't, I'm not suffering ANYMORE!
-
Yesterday
a fire started in Eagle, the next little town up the road, only 5 miles away
as the crow flies (and as fire travels). I have the radio on now and am
hoping to hear an update. All night I could smell smoke. DAMN IT! (They got
it out fairly quickly, thank Goodness.)

Ooops.
Putting pork rinds in the stuffing results in an awful lot of protein in the
dish. *shrug* It was good, at least. Not surprisingly, I am up another full
pound today. That makes 3.5 altogether since TOM showed up. I bet I have
probably eaten 7 Vicodin since yesterday morning, which doesn't help. :(
-
At
least the day wasn't a total loss, the BBQ sauce is great, much better than
the Renaissance stuff I bought, and lower carb, too. And I do this exact
same thing every month, so I am hardly surprised. More irked, but accepting.
I even lighten up on myself as far as what I eat. Since I am bound to gain,
no matter how good I am, why be TOO good? Of course I am not about to be TOO
bad, either, because I could see me gaining ten pounds, easy, if I was I
should throw out the sweets, the pills make me weak, but then what would I
do? Probably eat something worse. I lose all my "strength" when
subjected to just a little bit of severe physical pain. I would make a lousy
soldier!
-
BREAKFAST:
7am Coffee with whipping cream, 930am 2 fried eggs, 1 oz sharp cheddar
cheese, 4 sausage patties

SNACK
/LUNCH: 12pm 2 pieces layered fudge, 1 Keto-Bar ya well - maybe can I
plead insanity, Your Honor? No? There are no good excuses for that kind of
gluttony? *hanging my head*, I mumble "I knew that".
-
DINNER:
700pm Gigantic T-bone steak, 1 cup TLC coleslaw and later 2.5 TLC peanut
butter cupcakes. They were GOODand I was pissed off..that's not a good
excuse for today's sweet eating, however. Or any day's poor choices. *shrug*
Tomorrow is another day, I will do better then.

Monday
AM notes- No change!! Maybe today is the day I will start to lose some of
this bloat. I will attempt to exercise later. TOM ought to slink away in the
next day or so can't be soon enough for me!!
-
BREAKFAST:
7am Coffee with whipping cream, last half of the SFP bagel with cream cheese
-
SNACK:
1045 - am one hour after workout is over 2 fried eggs with 3.5 oz
leftover ribeye, then UPS man came with my netrition order and my
"just plain large" T-shirt that FITS!! And a whole case of Darrel
Lea bars so I ate half of one. Then I opened a Protein Revolution
toffee hazelnut chocolate bar GAG ME!! Oh My God these things are
AWFUL. Of course I bought a whole damn box I didn't like most of the
PR bars when I tried an assortment box but thought I remembered this one
flavor as being not too bad YUCCCCKKKKKK. Either they changed them or
this batch is bad or I am crazy but these things SUCK. Oh well, DH gobbles
bars like crazy, he can have ALL of these I hid my half of the Darrel Lea
bars in my pantie drawer he better stay out of there or I'll add a
mousetrap, hehe.
-
LUNCH:
345pm 1 serving TLC pancakes with butter and Davinchi syrup Pretty darn
good, think I have a bake mix winner and this one has only 15 carbs
per cup, so everyone who voted on this issue should end up happy .. if at
first you don't succeed, just KEEP TRYING. I did. :^)
-
DINNER:
None, really Ate 20 pepperoni chips, 2 oz. sharp white cheddar, one
Peanut Butter cupcake, and the other half of my Darrel Lea bar (I was
working in the kitchen on yeast bread recipe#3 and Dh took the kids OUT.)
Right before bed I ate 2 Tb. of cream cheese with some Davinchi syrup in it,
I'm going to try the fatty right before bed snack for all this week and see
what happens.

Tues
AM notes- Tom left and took 2 pounds with him. Yeah. Only 1.5 more and I
will be back where I started a week ago. Oh, well. That's old news, happens
every month. The important thing is: I have the next 20 days when I can
actually LOSE weight, if only I buckle down and work at it. Watch out scale,
cuz here I come!!
