Mama Is Back!

After an absence that's too long to justify, I am back. During my hiatus, I was really very good. I was gone to a company conference the week of April25 and I was extremely well behaved. Not one single dessert, although carrot cake (vegetable?), chocolate (niacin?) and a variety of other cakes were at every single meal. Not one dessert, though. No cookies, either. I had a stash of Russell Stover sugar free candy and, although some people scoffed, they became believers once they tried them.

During college graduation weekend, I was also pretty good ... until Saturday night Euchre and several bourbon/diet cokes. Once everyone left the room, the bag of chips beckoned. Sigh.

Now back in the saddle. Here is the rundown for the week:

Monday:

• Eggs, bacon, link sausage (0)


• peanut butter (14)


• Pork chops with cream gravy (heavy cream) (0)

Tuesday:

• coffee with heavy cream (0)


• 3 fried eggs (0)


• peanut butter (14)


• pork chops with cream gravy (heavy cream) (0)

Wednesday:

• coffee with heavy cream (0)


• scrambled eggs with bacon (0)


• tuna with mayo (0)


• steak (0)

I'm sure I should have some carbs, but I am trying to shock the system into metabolism.

Thursday:

• coffee with heavy cream (0)


• sausage patties (0)


• low carb thickburger - Hardees - (8)


• ribs with rub, no sauce BBQ sauce (5, assuming the horseradish sauce has some carbs)


• will have celery later ... so I'm probably too low today.

I don't seem to be making headway based on the carbs I am eating, but I think I need more water.

Tomorrow will be hard ... women's night at my place, but I can stick to martinis or to bourbon & coke. TGIF!
