Sun Day 7 Week 1 Induction

"To Thine Own Self be True, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."
Inspiration for Weekend of Week 1 Induction: To Thine Own Self BE TRUE!
*******************************************

Random Thoughts:
Today was a day when I should keep my thoughts to myself. You know what kind of day that is. I holed up in my bed with a book and avoided making any other mistakes (like leaving the room except to eat). It's hard to remember what I ate, in retrospect, but I know I didn't pig out and order pizza. I had to recreate the menu (below) by comparing the day before's and the day after...I tend to make more than one serving so I have more. Not being able to follow my menu because I was missing an ingredient, then having ennui and malaise (boredom, not caring, those kinds of attitudes, you know?) meant I didn't even want to go to the grocery store to fix the problem, just grabbing whatever I thought was OP. By the end of the day, I had not had my lettuce at all, so I was NOT "OP" or "On Program" - I'm not giving up yet. Would you?

Just one of those days we forget about later, or wish we could. Tho the book was good.

PERSONAL HAZARD (S)- Stress, Irritation at others (can work for and against me at various times - how about you?), Not having ingredients ready to make planned meals (not having an eggplant to make moussaka), not caring (big problem for me at times - anger works better, but when I "don't care" I tend to make bigger mistakes in my life)

Lunch: 6 chicken wings, celery, and ranch dressing
Dinner: 6 strips of bacon and 2 oz of cheddar cheese
Snack:
Dessert: made a cheesecake - kinda - by adding egg beaters and vanilla to my cream cheese with splenda and cinnamon, then cooking a la NY style cheesecake: 15 min at 500 degrees, then down to 200 degrees (only 35 minutes since I only used 8 oz of cream cheese) and let cool in the oven. I sprinkled splenda and cinnamon over the top before I cooked it, and ate it as soon as I could. As a dessert, on Atkins, it was a good change. I stopped at eating all of it - left about 1/2-1/3 for breakfast (after chilling) to see if it was more like a cheesecake later. As a cheesecake, it would fail the test. But, that just means no one else will want any, so there is more for me! Then again, a lot more work when all I did was add eggs to the cream cheese mix I make quickly already. An alternative would be to add cream cheese to the omelet mix I have. What is it with me and cinnamon? Not sure, but seems I can use a lot less salt. And I like it.
