Day 9 on Atkins 20

Good day for me. I made sure to eat a little more for breakfast after a tough day the day before. My hunger pangs were gone and I resumed my normal routine. In the past I have loved a polish sausage and cauliflower recipe like the one in the picture below. I never realized how many carbs were in polish sausage. I'll have to be careful about that in the future. As I mentioned yesterday though, I planned on going on the high side on my numbers to keep from starvation mode. I think I did it right. I still haven't gotten the exercise bike I am planning on so hopefully when I do I can add at least a few hours of biking a day to this. I know that will make a huge difference in what I am doing. I am planning on going golfing this week for the first time in a year so that is exciting. I have decided that this Sunday I am going to have my first treat on Father's Day. It will be low carb friendly and I will post the recipe on that day. I admit it's kind of risky the day before my weigh in but this is a diet for life so I am going to live a little just for a day while still keeping within my parameters. The danger though is if it has no effect on me I might start thinking I can add it more often. That would be a mistake so I won't.

So here are the stats for Day 9

Breakfast - 3 Eggs scrambled, 3 pieces of bacon

Lunch - 8 oz polish kielbasa, 1 1/2 cups cauliflower, dipping sauce

Dinner - 9 oz Ribeye Steak with garlic rub, 2 baby dill pickles

Snacks - AM - Atkins Vanilla Shake, PM - Atkins Strawberry Shake

Total counts for day 9, 22g Carbs, 1814 Calories, 138g fat, 110g protein

One final note, I noticed I didn't have any green vegetables yesterday. I'll make sure that changes today. I have zucchini I need to use so I'll probably go that direction.
