Ship Full o' Pirates

I’m having so much fun on the Atkins website! The latest fun is the page of recipe links.  They’ve sorted the recipes by phases.  Such a simple thing to do, yet so valuable.  Don’t you just hate looking through recipes you can’t have when you’re on a diet!  Not much in this life is more discouraging!  And this kind of discouragement, the kind that comes with a heavy helping of temptation, can ruin your resolve and throw you off your diet in a big hurry!

Well, it’s like the Atkins folks have some experience with dieting and temptation and so forth.  You just click the cool drop-down menu (*snort! food pun!) for the phase you are in and there is a huge list of all the recipes you can have in whatever phase you happen to be in!  Too cool!

If you read my Menu Plan Monday post you saw my new diet friend, BBQ sauce!  (Yay for sugar-free pancake syrup!)  Really!  BBQ sauce is my friend! I couldn’t be happier!  But, last evening I had a Sweet-n-Sour Chicken Stir-Fry with almost the same ingredients as the BBQ sauce.  I just made it up myself while I was cooking some chicken.  You can see I don’t believe in suffering while dieting!  Stir-Fry was so delicious, it’s like not even dieting, and yet, I keep seeing results when I step on the scale every Monday!

Weight

Lost 2 pounds this week!

Exercise

Twice, once with Leslie, that went fine.  The other time I went for a walk with Hubs, that injured my foot, so I’m resting it for a few weeks.  Pretty sure the resting is what slowed the weight loss.  I’m starting to feel better, so maybe  just another week or two of resting and I can start back with Leslie.  Don’t know when I’ll be up to walking with Hubs again.  It’s not that he goes fast or anything, but walking out doors is just different than walking in the den.

Diet

If you haven’t gathered already, (and if you haven’t then you must not be reading here very often) but if you need me to say it again, THIS DIET IS EASY TO STAY ON AND IT WORKS! Not one cheat!  And I’m no stoic!  I believe in food!  I believe in delicious food!  And plenty of it!  Seriously, if you need to lose weight and don’t want to suffer with hunger or deprivation give Atkins a try.

Now it’s your turn.

But really!  What are we gonna do about the name of this linky?  Can’t be Fit as a Farmhand when we aren’t Cowboys anymore.  Any ideas for a Piratey name for it?
