Day 42 on Atkins 20

I had another good day eating right and feeling good. I began recording my meals again and feel more under control doing so. For the past week I have been guessing essentially. I do know I was staying within range and not going too far but that was more feel than truth. I need to keep putting those meals in each day to keep up with my numbers. That's the only way I can track what I'm doing. I am noticing more than just the pounds lost now. The inches are making a big difference. My clothes are fitting looser, I am even helping my kids with the dishes and doing more around the house. I don't feel so lazy and sedentary because of the increase of energy. I was going to go on a bike ride today but my ride Saturday really took it out of my legs. I was worried about injuring myself and setting myself back a few weeks. I will definitely be on the bike first thing in the morning. I am feeling better about the shape I'm in since I started riding. Getting my heartbeat pumping and sweating is such a refreshing change from couch potato mode. I am planning a really nice meal tomorrow for dinner. I will be making BBQ ribs in the slow cooker for supper. I can't wait. I do need to find a low carb ketchup recipe because the stuff off the counter is too expensive. I also found a low carb donuts recipe with coconut flour that looks wrong. I can't wait to try it. Probably some time later this week.

Day 42 meals:

Breakfast - 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon

Lunch - Romaine lettuce tacos w/avacado, sour cream, cheese and tomatoes

Dinner - Low Carb Pizza w/cauliflower crust, mushrooms, sausage, mozzarella and low carb pizza sauce

Snacks - AM - Atkins Dark chocolate shake, PM - No Snack

Total counts for day 42, 25.4g Carbs, 1,993 Calories, 142g fat, 186g protein

I used the allrecipe.com recipe for cauliflower pizza crust and a homemade pizza sauce with no sugar or sweetener added. I was planning on putting in some Splenda but when I tasted it I liked it just fine without it. Take a look at the pizza below, it was yummy and didn't blow up my numbers. I have also begun adding meals to my carb counter program from Atkins. Up until now I have been inputting ingredients individually. Now I am adding meals so I can more easily put my food in in the future.
