Today we got hail... I thought summer was nearly on its way. I hear a few areas in the south also got snow yesterday!! I'm so ready to leave winter behind, I hope it hurries up and gets here.

*Please note that my menu isn't typical Atkins as I'm playing with adding some fruit... we'll see how that works out. I do still get my protein in first as ever though.

B1 Protein shake(30)
S Pistachios(15)
S Banana
B2 2 eggs, 2 sausages & bacon(35)
S Vegetable soup (1 cup)
L Chicken salad(35)

Woke up this morning to a frigging 29 degrees outside. It has gotten back into the low 60's now but jeese..."Nice winter we are having this Spring"!!!
B#1 Yogurt/Butter coffee
B#2 Kielbasa
S: Protein shake
S: Protein bar
L: (oh, good Lord...did I forget lunch?)
S: Fig bar
D: Shrimp in homemade alfredo sauce with a very small serving of angel hair pasta. (I do not like how this alfredo sauce turned out...too thin to suit me)

Vites done

how do you eat an apple, Huneypie, can you eat it all in one go? I sometimes can, seems to matter more if I'm on empty more than the size of the apple for me.

today I verified what I learned yesterday: when I make a drink out of my unflavored protein powder I can drink it without any added sweetener (just fruit) if I drink it in the early morning. if I taste it later in the day, I have to add sugar. odd.

today I am doing OK so far and I just got something new. I've only tried stevia once before and didn't care for it, but trying again in my search for tasty, convenient water.

@JackieOnLine I just saw those on amazon today, how is it? Sometimes I like stevia and other times it tastes hideous, seems to depend on the brand and also what I mix it into. I just started using monk fruit extract in brewed iced tea in my seemingly endless search for drinks that won't make me vomit or give me cancer ::

B- quest bar- 21
S- sopressata & gouda- 21
L- ham & cheese on low carb wrap- 36
S- shake- 24
S- detour bar-15
D- sausages & peppers w/ melted provolone- 44
Total- 161

How did you forget lunch indeed?? I get crabby if I don't eat - I don't often get that crabby!! :LOL:

I think because of the protein shake...and protein bar. I had each of those about 30 mins apart and may have been at lunch time.

I eat an apple in just one sitting and I don't cut it up or anything - I have a pretty large ol' sleeve.

I've tried a few different types of stevia and they all tasted the same to me, I hope what you've found is better. I'm just grateful that I do OK with Splenda.

OK, I tried the Sweet Drops, strawberry kiwi flavor - NOT the one I posted above (sorry)
I thought a couple drops would be enough...but I've been drinking sobe water, sometimes full strength. so - it was OK but not great. not bad, either, with 3 drops in a cup of water.

then I tried an entire teaspoon and it was good. for now, anyway, I like it. *thumbs up*

stay tuned for more exciting updates! :tongue:
