    Try spaghettis squash in spaghetti instead of noodles. It's delish!
    I tried a new recipe the other day and it was awesome!

    Since its almost summer time and BBQ season is in full swing for me, I missed potato salad.. I found where you make it as you would normally except replace the boiled potatoes with steamed cauliflower.. If I hadnt known what it was I would not have known. I gave it to a few people and they didnt think twice about it, said it was actually better than most they had had.. SO you can still enjoy potato salad this summer if you make one substitution... Or one for me..

    I want to try to use the cauliflower in a pasta salad of some sorts but havent yet to see if I can get the same results, but not sure if I should make the cauliflower into noodle size before or after I steam it.. Let me know if any of you have tried it if you have good results..

    Hi everyone! Think I had too much coffee this morning. I'm all shakey :frown:

    The ribs last night were sooooo good! Going to have the left overs for lunch today! I am def going to make that "potato" salad. I have printed off the recipe, just yet to make it. Maybe tonight...

    I did not get up and workout this morning. I was dog tired. I went on my run lastnight, but it was the worst run I've yet to have. My running app kept pausing, which made me keep stopping to fix it and I lost my motivation and walked home. Not even a mile! I was bummed, but I guess I ran a little. Better than nothing. I'll do my Ripped in 30 or 30 Day Shred tonight.

    Well, got to get back to work. Just took a little break. May go grab my hard boiled egg and have a little snack to hold me over til my ribs!!

    Great job Bailey. Even though you kept stopping, you still managed to get the cardio you desired.

    I lost another 2 lbs this AM and am estatic. It is really hard for me to lose when I have been so inactive due to hip injuiry. But it is coming along and I try to get in as much steps as I can to make up for it.

    Everyone have a great day and I will check in later.

    Hello all! Sooooo......I caved last night and had some ice cream and a few animal crackers. Big deal, right? I never cheat. Ohhhhh nooooooo!!!! About 1 am I woke up with the worst stomach ache I have EVER had! Maybe not EVER had, but it was bad! I got up and had diarrhea (sorry tmi) and then layed back down moaning and jumped up to puke, followed by more sitting on the toilet. Not good. Not worth the cheat. Today my stomach is so heavy it feels like I swallowed a ton of rocks yesterday. This will be my lesson. I usually feel a little sick after cheating (which I didn't even think about while shoveling the food into my mouth) but never this bad.

    Anyway, hope everyone else had a better day yesterday than I did!!

    Good Morning All!

    Bailey: Sorry that the ice cream and crackers made you sick. Feel better. :flowerforyou:

    Trick: If you have an Atkins Protein Shake, pour in a bowl mix in some heavy cream and whip it up and let it freeze in the freezer to it get's a little thick (sweeten to taste).

    Hoping everyone else is having a great low carb day and looking forward to that loss.

    Good Morning:


    Staying the course is a road that only you can navigate. On a scale it is only left or right. The weekend isn't everyone's friend, as sometimes we lose focus of everything we endured to make the correct choices food-wise during the week.

    You are like a Captain of a plane, ship , or a Driver of a bus and/or train. You know what direction you are heading and how you want to get there. Like them, they navigate their course -- so pre-plan and do not deviate as the consequeces might not end up in your favor.

    Plan ahead, make sure you have what you need in order to succeed. No excuses... had we taken this advice last year, we would be at our goal today. BE STRESSED or BE BLESSED and get through it , no matter what!!!

    Have a great weekend.:blushing:

    Happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm planning my meals for next week and hoping my "formula" works to my favor again this week. I know I am speaking blasphamy in the low carb meeting room by saying this...but I have decided to work in one cheat day per week where I eat whatever I want. Last week I lost 4.2lbs. I went to Sonic twice the Saturday before my Thursday weigh in. This Saturday was no better as you can see from my diary. I've been doing some reading on carb-cycling which I'm not following exactly either. This is something the heavy weight lifters do..and that is def not me! So anyway I eat way low-carb Sunday thru Friday and stay within my calorie limits of my BMR(1205) and the Sedentary caloric value set by www.fit2fatradio.com (1693) and eat whatever I want on Saturday and don't even look at the calories. Let's see what happens!

    I set my activity level at Sedentary in case I don't work out/walk or do anything. If I do, then it's a bonus. I DO NOT eat back exercise calories because it is already calculated in my goal. My fitbit adds all kinds of calories back, but I just follow my plan. I'm not advocating anyone else do this, but I've had some questions on what I was doing and why.

    Let's lose some weight!
