I was quite disturbed to find a weight gain rather than a loss this week. Disheartening. This morning, after I had some time to think about it, I decided it was time to change tactics. I took a look at the free meal plans on Atkins. I don't know about you, but I can't afford to eat such a wide variety throughout the week. I can, however, eat the same thing for several days in a row.
When I first planned to start on low carb, I had this ideological plan to never use prepackaged foods. I have since changed my mind. After taking a look at the different Atkins products and dealing with a rough week, I decided it was time to add some into my daily feed. This is what my next four days look like.
Breakfast: Atkins Frozen Farmhouse-Style Sausage Scramble
AM Snack: Atkins Strawberry Shake, 10 pecan halves
Lunch: Tuna salad (4 oz tuna, 2 Tbsp mayo, 1 diced stalk celery), 1 c romaine hearts, red wine vinegar
PM Snack: Coffee with 1 Tbsp heavy cream and 1 pkt Splenda, string cheese
Dinner: Meatloaf (4 oz ground beef, 1/2 egg, 1 oz crushed pork rinds, 1/4 c each green bell pepper and white onion), 3/4 c mashed cauliflower (cauliflower, 1/2 Tbsp butter), 5 grape tomatoes
This menu was fast and easy to pull together. I didn't spend hours and hours in the kitchen. I do have a little cleanup left, but that's no biggie. The shopping was also super fast and easy. Too, I added in nuts since I am staying in Induction for at least two more weeks. I adore pecans! This menu goes through Wednesday. I'll plan for three more days and then I'll eat my "Christmas" menu for the next four days. I have yet to plan that. I'll be working on it over the next few days. I am hoping for a weight change for the good by next week!
