On track

After my slight hiccup (one scoop of ice cream) I'm back on track. I did not have the ice cream last night, and it's now out of my house. Staying on plan feels easy again. And I'm doing killer workouts with my Wii Active. I've gotten another 2 hour trophy :)

The Wii is coming on vacation with me. I don't want to stray and our cabin has a TV. I'm sure I'll be getting in extra calorie burns with all the swimming & walking we'll be doing.

Previously to starting Atkins I had been avoiding red meat. I'd eat it occasionally, maybe 2 or 3 times a month. But now it's a regular part of my weekly Atkins menu. I'd like to dig a little deeper and come up with other options to get it off my plate again. It just doesn't feel healthy when my body is weighed down by it. I'm also realizing I'm relying too heavily on cheese. I do only stick to the 4 ounces recommended however it's another thing that doesn't have to grace my plate quite so often.

My new found food love is green pepper slices. Mmm! They are great for a quick grab snack and I just love the snap crunch. I also throw in some cucumber slices and I've got a great mid-morning snack at my desk. Today my co-workers and I ordered food from a local deli for breakfast. I love that they had a protein omelet on their menu! It was so easy to stay on plan. And then I ordered a cobb salad for my lunch. It was great that I didn't even bat an eye at any of the other menu options. I knew the types of foods I should seek and got what I wanted.
