loooooooong story short, got laid off, am taking time off, relaxing - maybe a bit too much?? Cause all this "weeeeeeee, time off, let's party!" lead to really bad eating!

This last Saturday (6/14) it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest, I was SO uncomfortable!! Figuring since I've been wearing bigger pants, I knew it was time to suck it up and finally stepped on my scale.
**faint**thud**
Ok, when the EMT's revived me, I made the choice that enough is enough and it was back on Atkins 100% the very next morning (Father's Day is really easy here, Mr. Man plays couch commando and I curl up in the den with chick flix and do girly things!)

The great news, is how AMAZINGLY good I feel in just such a short amount of time (mentally so much clearer)

and

since Sunday - I'VE LOST **FIVE** POUNDS!!!!!!!

I've made a mini goal and am just taking it day by day - not stressing and NOT doing anything insane.

SO happy to be back here!!!

Yep, I know what it is like to fall of the low carb wagon... I reckon most of us have been there a time or two ourselves.... but now that you are on the wagon with the rest of us again... I say
One thing I have found that REALLLLY help me stay on track are REV Rolls. I can eat burgers with mayo and sliced tomatoes.. and have slaw burgers... all with a Claussen pickle... I made some REV rolls today to use for Hot Dog buns... I have a heavy craving for hot dogs with mustard and onions.. (better be chewing lots of gum tonight at church.. ) Tomorrow we will have low carb meatloaf... hubby will have fried taters, and I will eat cauliflower, and I will have a nice side salad... I love Ken's Steakhouse Creamy Caesar dressing...it is no carb...!!

I would love to hear more about your menus that you have planned...
