and the beat goes on

Oopsie Rolls from the best blogger in the world
Jamie! (link)

I use Cocktail Shrimp
So they are already cooked - Just sauté
Or fry - if you are a Texan

Roasted Veggies -
Soooo easy - add any Veggie you like -
This is Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts, and Tomatoes 
Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar and Spices -
Cook at 350 or so for 30 minutes... as you like it

Dinner with Sherri

Salmon
Blackened - not Burned 

CatFish


The idea is that "you" can cook a meal 
With different kinds of meat - or fish

This one hates Salmon - That one hates Chicken
No worries - and hassle - just put them a ll in the oven 
With equal ease.

Still doing induction and averaging about a pound 
Every other day now -
The red shirt is around Easter .... helping with Easter Dinner... 
THIS is the picture that are me realize I had really gained!
That is what 20 pounds of re-gain looks like on a 5'2" frame.
A little loss in the battle of the bulges.
And the black shirt is me as of this week
But I don't fret it because I have the tool box -
And this is how far I've come in total!
It's good to be able to look back at that and say -
Yep!

fresh or frozen

The George Forman Grill is a big hit

Except...  the Atkins Diet is not really a LowFat diet
And the grill drains away so much of the fat ... 
Guess it is best to add back some Butter 
Or Bacon! 

Or else it tastes like a pressed school lunch burger...
And we all know how good THAT is...

Low Fat AND Low Carb is not a good place for me, personally
And about a gazillion other LC/HF people!

Bubba Burgers
Kinda look like the State of Texas

We did a side by side with Fresh Butcher Shop Patties
And Frozen

The Fresh won (of course)
But the Frozen is more convenient.
Of course.

Good to shop for Fresh, but keep Frozen 
Just in case...

Same with Butcher Shop Hot Dogs
They are MUCH better than what you get in the store

Jalapeño Mustard
Gor-Met Fanfare for the Common WOE -Man
*way of eating*

Had so much energy left-
I helped Sherri paint.

Its all fun and games till this - 
lol

 
Still was wound up -
So I redid my pantry...
I don't have many canned things -
Mostly Fresh - So it's nice to have
A place for appliances and bulk items.

 
Did some late night jamming'
Also nice...

up and down

Hello - My name is Anne -
And I am a Carbo-holic

I normally fluctuate about 5 - even 10 pounds 
From month to month - Season to season...

I have gained 20 pounds - in like a month --
And when I saw a picture of myself in profile - 
I instantly went to work.
I have now lost back 10 of the 20 pounds I gained.
And I am closing in fast on the other 10!

Dr Atkins Quote of the Day

Back to Basics - a snack of cheese and summer sausage
Since I can't use the fridge or microwave much at work

Keep the good stuff on hand -

Can't blame the full moon -
Except maybe my fuller moon (hehehe)

Love the butcher shop -
It's good to have friends in Moo places
And it's good to know that I/we
Backed the RIGHT Horse!
(So to speak)

Now they say that fat is not the enemy!
Even Dr Oz is having butter in his coffee.
Wow!

So with no shame in my game (plan)
I am trudging onward and downward -
And really kinda looking forward to a better 
Life of Maintenance!
