Updates and recipes

It's another Saturday which means it's another weigh in.  Not bad.  I lost another 1.8 pounds.  That makes it I've lost 22.2 pounds since May 5th.

I've branched out on my eating so it will probably slow down now.  Also when I start to exercise and when I start to tone up, I've been tone that the weight will slow down or stop for a bit because muscle weighs more.  Who knows.  Me gaining muscle instead of fat is a weird concept so we'll see.

Some things that I want to make this week are:

Cheese crisps = take cheese slices about 1/4" thick and microwave them to melt and crisp up.  The recipe says that it is good as a dipper and they used dried dill and chives on a dollop of sour cream.

Chocolate dessert = take around 40-80 g of Dark Chocolate (as dark as you can enjoy) and one egg.  Less chocolate will create a lighter cakier texture, more will create a denser brownie like texture.  Basically melt chocolate in a mug using your microwave.  Beat egg into the melted chocolate and microwave again 30 seconds at a time.  Usually takes around 1.5 minutes.  tip on plate and eat after it cools a bit.

cream cheese pancakes

crepes - using ricotta cheese, eggs, artificial sweetener, salt and butter. Only .8 carb per crepe.

Mocha Latte clouds = butter, cream cheese, 2 tsp instant coffee crystals, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, artificial sweetener

I also bought Atkins Advantage Snack/light meal bars.  Coconut Almond Delight Bar.  2 net carbs for it and I hope to have this as a snack.  Working 10 hour days tends to throw off the schedule of eating.  I sometimes forget to pack something either for lunch or snack for office.  I'll probably keep them at work for when I need something to carry me until I get home.

I'm also trying Detox water today.  It has fresh lemon, cucumber, ginger and mint leaves.  It's steeping right now so I'll report on how it tastes.  I don't mind lime in my water so we'll see how it goes.

That's all to report right now.

Until next time .....Have a good day.
