Let's get started

in a saucepan add in a 1/4 cup water

a big handful fresh spinach

cook spinach down, stir occasionally

once cooked through remove to plate

add to pan 2 slices of bacon

cook through

remove to drain

in bacon grease fry up egg

crumble bacon on top of egg

add fresh shredded Parmesan cheese

Enjoy!

First~ for the lowcarbers

no rice in this one instead its served over a bowl of broccoli

Second~

An update of sorts

Wow, so its been a while, there's really no reason or excuse.
Life -as it goes- happens.
Chris has started HS Soccer! WooHoo!
Alex is headed back to school this week and hopefully starting Baseball after Spring Break.
Jullian just made SuperStarStudent and totally deserved it, Swimming lessons are in the near future.
Lyla is 4! Talking up a storm and showing a full blown girly attitude, sleeping very well I might add, swimming for is in too on the agenda.
Hubby has lost a bit of weight, yay! Was up for and received the Saint Barbaras Award a few weeks ago, getting ready now to head out to OK for a few weeks.
Me, a few pounds down, felt pretty good in my dress, realizing that I do need to keep up the hair color and spend a bit of time on my brows, it really does wonders at helping me look not so old.

and school is open!

Wow what a two week ride.
The holidays went well, even with Alex in & out the door.
We are still waiting for Epiphany to roll around then I'll pack up the decorations.
J seemed ok going back today. He says he cant sleep tonight but he's so tired.
C did quite well getting up and moving around after having a wacked out sleeping scheduale.
L seemed at peace with the house empty, she even played all by her self while I cleaned the bathroom.
A, he wasn't here. We do need to get him transfered to a new school, the board never called me back today. He's back tonight though, so I'll try again tomorrow to see which are our options.
To be honest though, I'm waiting for the house to be quite too.
Hubby goes back to work tomorrow.

Weigh in

Was not pretty!
It turns out my goal is 26lbs & Mike 51lbs.
We will save everyone our total now weights ok.
Atkins is going alright, we are both tired today, which is normal.
We aren't hungry, but not satisfied, again to be expected I'm guessing.
We did get lucky, the Phase 1 book we have has the 2 weeks menu planned out so I just had to shop for the recipes.

Happy New Year 2011!!!

This will be a great year!

To start it off-
1. Mike & I both are following Atkins, 3 books are on the kitchen counter now, 20 something pages into the 1st already.
2. Mike & I will NOT charge anything. Our envelopes are going great we even have a tad left over for a date night but not for our snowball, we WILL fix this. No more debt! Hello SNOWBALL!

Personal- I want to write in here lots more, if not daily at least a few times a week. I WILL figure this out & fit it into my days/nights.
Work- To complete 52 projects= an item a week if not more.
