Down .6 today.
I am still quite swollen. And I am very curious how much I would actually weigh if I never had the surgery!
I am certain that I would be lower than I was the morning of my
last CN.
Tomorrow is my 2nd CN and I am still thinking of the Spaghetti & Meatballs. I will be making my own meatballs with ground beef, breadcrumbs, parmesan and onion.
No corn syrup there!
I have made my own carb-free meatballs in the past using crushed pork rinds. They are drier than the breadcrumb variety, but still very delicious. I add a lot of parmesan cheese for "body" and taste, but leave out the onion.
I need to go to the store today to buy ingredients for my lemon bars. I want to make only a 1/2 batch, so I don't have so many to freeze. I know Ed will have only one. He is one of those that can only eat one, then has no desire for more.
So a whole pan of bars will sit and rot if I make too many. And for some reason, leftover frozen lemon bars do not sound good. I am sure next week I will not even want them. So it is best to make a little pan, eat my fill, and hope Ed eats the rest.
This is so weird, doing Carb Nites. I am still not used to the thought of it. Actually planning on eating sweets desserts is still so alien to me! But as I know it is imperative that I do so on a consistent weekly basis, I will try to enjoy it.
I am so happy that this plan did NOT set me over the edge into carb oblivion. That was a major fear of mine! But it did NOT.
It was natural for me to go back to my normal ULC style.
This plan has also opened me up to new foods and allowed me a greater variety of foods. Now that I am watching NET carbs, I am not as carbophobic as I used to be while following induction-style total carbs Atkins. The addition of these few extra carbs in the form of fiber has not effected my ketosis at all, and I am slowly learning that I CAN eat a few veggies now & then without detriment. I had my first MIM yesterday and liked it!
I am going to have one this morning too.
HW - I agree that having your first CN alone is the best. You can then pay attention to what you are eating and really enjoy it. No one needs to feel self conscious about eating. It is terrible how those of us with lifelong weight problems have always felt that way.
I LOVE Psychology and Sociology! Have fun with it! Those were my 2 favorite classes in college.
LIANNE - OMG! You are losing a LOT of weight quickly!!!! Congrats!!!!
I hope your trend keeps up for you for many months to come!
