Dinner tonight - my first Atkins meal - was a smashing success. Scott grilled some burgers and I had mine with a slice of grilled onion, a pickle, mustard, and some of that low-sugar ketchup that Maria mentioned. Delicious! Of course, the carb withdrawals have not kicked in yet, so I may not be in as good of a mood about the whole thing tomorrow. ;-)
A couple of people asked me about the menu I put together. If you're interested, here it is. This is subject to change IF there is a good low-carb option. I put this together as a guide, so I never can say that I don't know what to eat. But, as an example, Scott and I talked about going out for crabs one night this week. If that happens, I know I'll have an order of steamed dungeoness crabs and a side salad. Yum. Other than that - this is what I'll be eating for the next week.

Sounds delicious!!
Wow, this actually made me mildly nostalgic for my atkins days! Everything sounds so tasty!
I haven't made a menu yet but I have ideas! Mine starts in the morning but can I come to your house to eat instead?
Your menu sounds great. I have been cutting back a little on carbs, without lowering my fiber intake, of course. I have been losing again... So I am down 121 pounds so far. I hope that keeps going since I am loving the loss and it looks like the strength training has really been revving up my metabolism... so keep your fingers crossed for me. *M*
That sounds pretty good, I shall be taking notes as I have been having trouble with my lunch choices :o)
Great plan! You are so organized. 9 more sleeps until I get to see your pretty face :)
Great menu---sounds very satisfying!! I may need to go there myself---NO weight loss for 3 months ;-(
