Good Morning!

Starting my day with three eggs, bacon bits, and coffee with heavy whipping cream.

Did you know... Without the yolk, the body cannot process the nutrients in the egg white?

It's a good morning...

Eat this... Not that... My way

It's a sweets smorgasbord in the break room here at work. Perkin's Lemon pie; Chocolate chip cookies; Peanut butter cookies; Brownies

The evil carbohydrate addict Inside me is screaming for a bite. I'm not caving in.

I have an emergency snack that I grabbed from the fridge: three slices of deli ham, two slices of provolone, rolled it up and dipped it in mayo & horseradish instead.

If you're keeping track, that's a Victory!!

Spaghetti Squash

Excellent source of vitamins and minerals... With only 7.8 net carbs per one cup serving.

Cut in half. Remove seeds. Rub olive oil on the inside, place cut side down in shallow pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour. It is done when a dinner fork pierces the outer skin.

Use a fork or spoon to scrape the flesh away from the outer shell. Enjoy tossed with olive oil or butter - or do my favorite, top it with spaghetti sauce.

Deviled Eggs

The go to food for a quick snack when low carbing. Only 1.5 carbs for two halves. I have about 8 weeks to lose as much as possible for the Best the Boss challenge at work with a cash prize of $500.

I don't measure. This was 16 eggs. 1/2 cup real mayo. 1.5 T of yellow mustard. 1.5 T hot n spicy mustard. 1 heaping T pickle relish. Salt. Paprika.
