I got curious and stuck my CO in the microwave to see if I could melt it a little bit so that the top was smooth. (My OCD runs rampant again!) But when it cooled it was as hard as a rock and I’m having trouble even chipping flakes off with a spoon!
It’s 3/4 full and in todays economy I hesitate to buy another one because it’s money I dont need to spend.
Hi All!
I have been lurking on this board for awhile now and thought it was time for me to come out from hiding! I am a 31 year old F, married and have two kids, aged 11 and 9. I currently weigh 188lbs and I’m 5′7".
I have been doing atkins on and off for the past several years now and decided that I needed to be serious about this and make this a lifestyle and not just a diet to fit into something.
This is my typical daily menu – please have a look, I welcome any and all advice, comments and suggestions:
B: Egg drop soup (1 1/3 cup organic chicken broth, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp parm cheese, 1 tsp hot sauce) or
2 scrambled eggs w/ 1/2 avocado
S: cottage cheese (1/2 cup) and flax muffin or
coffee with 1 tbsp cream and 1 tbsp davicni syrup
L: Chicken salad (4 oz chicken breast with homemade mayo), coleslaw or green salad (2 cups) w/ 1-2 tbsp dressing or
spaghetti squash (1 cup) with diced chicken or meat with tomato sauce
with diet rite
S: 12 walnuts or
celery with organic peanut butter
D: Grilled chicken breast or steak with green beans (1cup) fried in butter or w/ green salad w 1 tbsp dressing
S: sugar-free jello or a handful of strawberries
I also drink about 2-3L water every day with lunch/dinner and in between. And I do tae-bo 5 times a week and yoga 2 times a week.
Is this too much/too little food for me? Am I missing anything? I’m currently following atkins OWL.
Thanks for your help!!

Does anyone know if TJ’s carries Xylitol. Last time I got it at Whole Foods, but TJ’s is more convenient
It looks delicious doesn’t it? The package was almost $9 but it’s three pounds and I wanted to splurge. The slices are like a half inch thick. I think I’m in love!

I went to Curves today, for my 4th workout, and found some new motivation to keep up my hard work! I got a Curves Charm Bracelet! It is so cool, because it starts out with one charm on it, a Curves watch so that you are always on time for your workout. Then as you lose the weight you add a charm for each 10lbs you lose! Each charm is workout and weightloss related, from little tennis shoes, to inspirational saying. I am in LOVE with this idea! What a great motivater!! I mean, what is a best way to get a girl moving? UH, Jewelry!! Haha!
