I've been slacking on my blog this week.... I did have a good weigh-in at the doctor, though.  I know I'm back in wonderland because even with my shoes on, hoodie on etc., I weighed in at 198.  One-derland is a great place to be. 

It was just a routine appointment in order to stay on the pain meds for my knee pain (just Tramadol, but it does work).  It went well.  I have to go back in next month for fasting blood work, just to make sure that my kidney function is okay and have my cholesterol checked.  They've been trying to put me on a statin for my high total cholesterol, but I've been extremely reluctant to do so [read: not doing it at all]. 

I have heard that when you lose weight, your cholesterol goes up.  My good cholesterol is very good... Just my total that is a little high.  I am going to do some research on it.  My chiropractor said that as long as your bad cholesterol only makes up a certain percentage of the total, then you are okay.  We shall see!

The gf is taking the dogs up to the park for a walk and I have some grocery shopping to do.  We are dangerously low on eggs!

I haven't gone off plan this whole year.... It really takes the pressure off me for some reason.  I mean, I love my treats and all.... but I love how eating this way makes me feel..

Low carb menu and exciting news

- Four eggs
- A few bites of egg salad
- A few bites of pound cake (about a third of a piece)
- Low carb waffle with butter and Walden's syrup

I woke up feeling horrible (due to the nasty, terrible jello parfait that was obviously past its prime), so I didn't eat a whole lot. 

I've been doing the recumbent bike most days, at least half an hour and it seems to be helping with my knee.

Guess what!  My lil sister asked me to be her maid of honor!  (She is about 13 years my junior)... Excited!!!

Just getting a little work done today and chilling with the pack.  We are watching The Miracle Worker and gf is loving it!  It reminds us so much of how to train dogs! *giggles*

Low carb menu

Wednesday I ate...

- Four eggs
- Two cinnamon flax muffins with a sausage patty
- Two parm-breaded chicken tenders

Thursday I had...

- Four eggs
- Four more eggs
- Salad with hard boiled eggs, ham & low carb thousand island
- Cinnamon flax muffin

Low carb menu

- Four eggs
- Salad (iceberg lettuce, ham, hard boiled eggs & low carb honey mustard)
- Two parm-breaded chicken breast tenders with low carb honey mustard
- Another chicken tender with mayo this time

This low carb honey mustard is seriously the bomb-diggity! Everytime that I make it, even my brothers want the recipe. They never want the recipe for anything! First of all, they can't believe it's home made.  Secondly, they *really* can't believe it's low carb.  It's just that good. 

I love making stuff home made because you know what's going into it and it ends up being a lot more cost-efficient than the bottled stuff. We now buy mayo by the gallon at Gordon's.  A gallon of the extra heavy duty restaurant-style may is only $8.99. We are a mayo-eating household!

Also, I was thinking that chicken breast meat is so low in fat that it's not exactly a wonderful part of the ketogenic diet unless you add fat...

I've noticed that a big trend in the low carb blogosphere is focusing on a higher-fat and moderate-protein diet.
