Breakfast: 2 egg cooked over easy with 2 tbsp. of butter
1 8 oz of coffee (black)
1 sausage patty
Lunch: Water (64 oz.)
Dinner: 1 cup of lettuce with 1/4 cup of cucumber, 1/2 small tomato with 2 tbs. of bacon ranch dressing
1 4 oz grilled steak
Snack: pork rinds( That will be the last pork rinds because the salt and this weather is keeping water retention to bad.) :mad: I love them so much.
Another 64 oz of water.
So far today only my 8 oz of coffee and 28 oz of water. But I am getting ready to fix my 2 scrambled eggs with butter and sausage patty.
I hope everyone have a great low carb day and I will be back this evening to report the rest. Cher I hope you are feeling better.

the recipe I promised......
 

Fellow No cheaters here is the recipe I talked about this morning.

BEEF AND PECAN SPREAD SERVES 10
1/2 cup pecans, unsalted-chopped
1 teaspoon butter
8 oz. chipped beef (we used the carl budding)
1 Tablespoon heavy cream
1/4 cup green pepper-chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup sour cream
8ozs. cream cheese
2 teaspoons onion flakes

Saute the pecans in butter until warm. Set aside. Cut the chipped beef into small pieces. Blend the remaining ingredients in a food processor.
Place mixture in a glass pie pan and sprinkle with pecans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until bubbly.

Per serving:
2.5 grams Carbs.
0.3 grams fiber
159.4 calories
14.0 grams fat
7.0 grams protein

serve with celery or pork rinds, we did celery it was wonderful, but another thing would be cucumbers. As you can see the calorie count is high as well as the fat. hope ya'all enjoy. joan

Hey everyone!

Just a quick note to say.....I'm with you all and will continue to post my menus in my journal.....as always. Glad to see the number of us taking part here!!

Marlaine

Day 2, and NO cheating......yippeeee

Yesterday, had a wonderful recipe myself, Stuffed Venison steak. Stuffed with garlic, basil, and smoked gouda cheese, with dijon sauce over it. Melted in my mouth, just wonderful.

Today, had my protein shake made with cream and water, for lunch: turkey and chicken salad, dinner tonight will consist of a smoked turkey leg (not the whole thing) and tossed salad with blue cheese dressing.

Looking forward to a weight loss for the month of August......

Bye all,
:wave:

NO cheating yesterday. NO cheating today. One day at
a time!!!

Heading to the movies, so I will have to smell the popcorn.
Good thing that doesn't tempt me too much.

Day 2... NO CHEATS!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the welcomes!
 

Hi all,

Made it through the day....no cheatin! Even went out for dinner and didn't have dessert.....wasn't even a problem...I am psyched for this challenge....does anyone have any specific goals in mind to lose by labor day? I am hoping to drop 8 lbs....might be a little unrealistic, but we will shoot for it!
Donnaj, we should tell LouiseV about this challenge, I bet she would be up for it!

Take care everyone....we can and will do this together!
Carol
