Day 9 - 170.0

Okay, I've kinda sucked at this the past few days! Not horribly, I mean, I didn't eat junk food or anything, but I didn't really keep track and you can see where I immediately stall in the weight loss. I tend to do this a lot and it's really the part I'm trying to get past. I can say that each day, I was still eating off of the last casserole that I ate and that was low carb. I wasn't worrying about my portions too much, but I wasn't really over-doing it either. I did go a little crazy last night with some bean dip and tortilla chips. Again, i totally blame a student for bringing the food in!!! Notice a pattern???? When it's there, it's sooooo hard to resist.

Well, with all of the out of the way, I tried to stay aware of how I was eating today and I did much better. I stuck with an Adkins vanilla shake this morning. They really aren't bad and only 1 net carb. I decided to start using these for breakfast more often so I don't use up my carbs early in the day. Seems logical, we'll see....

For lunch, I had some left over Alice Springs Chicken that I got off the Linda's low carb menu and recipes site. I changed it a bit to go with what I had in the kitchen but this is how it broke down:

I baked a pack of thighs - I think there were 6(bone in, but the recipe called for boneless )
breasts). Once they were done, I moved them to a dry casserole dish and got rid of the skin and extra liquid. I poured a 4oz can of mushrooms that I had sauteed with garlic over them and added about 8 pieces of bacon I'd cooked and crumbled. I poured 2 c. of shredded cheese over the top and baked this for about 10 min. So easy and YUM! The mushrooms are only 1 carb for the whole can, and the cheese is a total of 8....a total of less than 2 carbs per serving.

I'm having another serving of this for dinner in a few minutes and that brings my grand total for the day to a whopping 5 carbs! Yes, I'm a bit tired but such is life:)
