i do have salad fixins in the fridge, i just gravitate away from them lol. i bought some south beach ranch dressing yesterday, and maybe i'll cook up some taco meat too. i love taco salad. maybe that will entice me to eat the greens.

i drink minimum of 64 oz of water daily, sometimes more, and i don't think fat intake is an issue lol. i do love the fact that i'm caffeine free (coffee pot has actually moved from front and center on the counter to the basement) and i feel more energetic NOW than when drinking a pot a day just a week ago. well, energetic for the day, not for the 3 hours i was hyped up i guess is more accurate.

i think my biggest "issue" with atkins vs the plan we did before is my mindset. the other plan was vegetable focused - a 2 cup salad for lunch with a protein and a fruit, and a 3 cup salad for dinner with a protein and a fruit. throw in 1/2 cup pasta once and call it a day. made it easy to figure out what to eat, even if salads did get boring after a while. which, in hindsight, is probably the reason i rebounded the way i did.
