100 posts

As I opened up my dashboard to get ready to write, I noticed that yesterday's post was my 100th!  Whoo hoo!  Here's to a 100 more (and 100 or more pounds to go along with it ;) ).

Emotional things are escalating in my life and I have a feeling there will be huge changes coming up in my life.  It's not something I feel comfortable talking about here at the moment.  I know I am strong and can get through anything.  It is just hard to accept change.

Yesterday for lunch we had roast beef and Oh em GEE!!  It was good.  I think it was the best beef I've had since we bought a quarter beef from a local farmer.  It is really hard to not keep picking at it but I want to get another meal out of it.  Good meat is so precious when you're poor.

Last night I was lazy and we just ate bacon and eggs for supper.  The kids and I polished off a whole 500g package.  Mind you most of it was fat, which I made use of for breakfast this morning.  Bacon and eggs, a perfect meal that I would never tire of.

Today, we had bacon and eggs for breakfast.  It was turkey bacon so I threw some of the bacon grease in the pan to give it some flavour and taste :) .  I also fried the eggs in it.

Lunch will be pizza and supper, who knows.  I'm thinking about stewing a chicken and making some soup.  We're in the middle of a winter storm and there is nothing like a warm soup to warm you up, plus I would make enough for leftovers through the week.

Yes, I feel really focused on food.  If I don't, who knows what I'll do.  I almost popped some crackers in my mouth by habit, and that is only one instance of many yesterday where I almost fell off the low carb train unintentionally.  It makes me realize how conscientious I have to be about what I eat.  Hence the slight obsession.

I stepped on the scale this morning and I was down another 3lbs.  It is an amazing feeling having the weight melt off me while I'm eating low carb and high fat.  I thought the dairy I was having would be a hindrance.  If it is later on, I'll take it out.  It has only been a week and the weight is flying off.  I know it won't always.  Stalls are inevitable so I will take what I can get for now.  I have tools in my arsenal so I won't fail at this and the biggest one of all is that I'm worth it!!!

Meal Plan:
Breakfast: 3 fried eggs, 2 slices of turkey bacon, coffee with cream (picked at some roast beef, had a tablespoon of the "cream cheese" and a bite of regular cheese)
Lunch: Cauliflower crust pesto chicken pizza
Supper: Chicken soup, low carb style
